NCsoft Donation for Japan Earthquake Victims

NCsoft sends its most heart-felt condolences to the victims and people of Japan. As such, NCsoft will donate 500 million Yen (approx 4.5 million Euros/3.9 million GBP/6.3 million USD) to restoration of damages in the region. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan.

NCsoft senior executive Sung Joon Park stated, “In order to support those who have suffered from the earthquake and to help restoration, we decided to donate 500 million Yen, which corresponds to one month of sales.” He also added that, “We’ll maintain the service with the minimal electricity and personnel. Maintaining daily life is also important; therefore, we plan to uphold the service.” NCsoft’s Vice-President, Corporate Communications Jaesung Lee added from headquarters in Seoul, South Korea that, “We sincerely hope Japan can overcome the current difficulties as soon as possible.”

Additionally, many organizations and funds have mobilized to provide relief to those affected by the disaster. If you are interested in contributing, below are some links to charitable organizations in alphabetical order working in earnest to help the victims in Japan.

Now that is what I am talking about! *tips hat*

WOW! Kudos NC!

And people say you had no money. :p

Already donated to the Red Cross here, but I'm really *happy* to see NCSoft doing a move to help Japan.

Clearly, I love this behavior (or may be the word is behaviour, not sure)

Lineage2 players can now feel they helped Japan
Thank You NCsoft

what an unbelievable gesture NCsoft. they are suffering greatly from earthquake, followed by tsunami, followed by radiation, no running water, barely anything to eat, several 10s of thousands have died. it's just a mess over there.

Is very nice to read tha NCsoft is doing this, I also want send my most heart-felt condolences to the victims and people of Japan. Thanks NCsoft :)

The Single best thing that NC Has done since this game started back in 2004.

Really. Thank You.

Thanks alot ncsoft, all the help is welcome, I live in Japan and been playing lineage 2 for years. very appreciated.

Nice move.

guess ncsoft hates the Philippines!

That's just awesome Ncsoft thanks so much for helping those poor people:)

Grats for the move...while other companies have to sell ''special items'' to have this done ;)

On the other hand, it will be nice if you find a way for us to help through our game...

Thank you NCsoft.

Thanks NCsoft it was really nice! Respect!:)

GZ to NCsoft

Good to know that a company that creates fun cares about people. All here in Brazil are very concerned about the tragedy that Japanese people are living now.
Very much hope that Japan does not undergo a second nuclear disaster. Congratulations action taken by the NC.
Obviously this is being done because the NC has many players in Japan, given that some time ago, an earthquake killed more than 200 000 people in Haiti. Anyway, our people do not think so much happiness and wishes of the Japanese people.
Thanks!
