NCSoft has released their financial statements for the third quarter of 2013 and the results are not so great. While sales dropped only 12% over last quarter, operating profit dipped 51% over the same period and pre-tax income similarly dropped 47%. Net income stands at a 23% drop over the previous quarter. In the report, NCSoft links the loss of profit due to the “lion’s share of Lineage in-game item sales in 3Q being carried over to 4Q.”
On the game side, Lineage saw a nearly 27% drop in sales over the last quarter, while Blade & Soul enjoyed 40% rise in sales attributed to the “Baek-chung” content pack recently released for the game. Sales for Lineage 2, Aion, and Guild Wars 2 all dropped over the previous quarter.
According to NCSoft, while labor costs remained flat, royalty and marketing expenses increased due to a license contract with the Baseball Players Association and the Wildstar marketing campaigns respectively. Other expenses included the relocation of the NCSoft headquarters, restoration of the Seoul offices, and office supplies.

MMO Fallout 
And, if I read the report right, the figures on the left are in millions of Korean Won, so you can multiply that by 0.00094 to get the amount in millions of dollars.
So we’re looking at:
Lineage: $58 million
Lineage 2: $12 million
Guild Wars 2: $23 million
Aion: $21 million
Blade & Soul: $19 million
Other: $16 million
Not a bad haul.
Also a change of ten billion won sounds more impressive than one or two million dollars, there I said it.
