	Lineage II WarCry™
		NCSoft: I am not certain of what you mean by “movie.” We do have several movie clips of in-game animations and battle scenes currently available through our website, but as for a feature length film, we currently have no plans.
		NCSoft: Broadly speaking, magic spells are acquired through books, and each use of magic takes up a set amount of MP (mana points).
		NCSoft: I think the community as a whole is doing a great job of bringing up in-depth and very specific issues, just based on limited beta play, so just keep on rockin' is the best response I can make.

	PlayNC: Federal Judge Dismisses Claims and Strikes Allegations in Marvel Lawsuit Against NCsoft (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In a March 9 order, U.S. District Court Judge R. Gary Klausner agreed with NCsoft that some of Marvel’s allegations and exhibits should be stricken as “false and sham” because certain allegedly infringing works depicted in Marvel’s pleadings were created not by users, but by Marvel itself.
		The judge also dismissed more than half of Marvel’s claims against NCsoft and Cryptic Studios, including Marvel’s claims that the defendants directly infringed Marvel’s registered trademarks and are liable for purported infringement of Marvel’s trademarks by City of Heroes’ users.
		Although the judge allowed certain claims to survive the motion to dismiss, NCsoft and Cryptic Studios are pleased with the result and are confident that both the law and the facts will support their case.

		In the recent Marvel Case, Marvel has asserted that NCsoft in its City of Heroes(R) game is contributory and vicariously liable for copyright infringement because it has designed the game so as to enable and encourage users to construct their avatars in the form of Marvel comics Copyrighted characters.
		In essence, Marvel is suing NCsoft for creating a game in which players can design their own costumes for their characters in a way Marvel says infringes their Intellectual Property Rights.
