NCSoft President Interviewed At 1UP.com

Chris Chung, president of NCSoft North America, was interviewed today by 1UP.com in a close look at the past year for the company and their plans for the upcoming one:

1UP: Chris, you've just recently taken over as the president of NCSoft's North American branch. This position was previously held for over five years by Robert Garriott.

Chris Chung: Six years, to be exact.

1UP: How does it feel stepping into that spot?

Chung: I think it's an enormous challenge. I'm pretty excited at the same time, but how do you replace someone like Robert Garriott, who is a founding father of the gaming industry? So it's a challenge and some big shoes to fill. I'm still asking Robert a lot of questions. He's been a great mentior during this transition. We really couldn't have asked for a smoother transition. I'm actually in a great spot. I feel like there's been a lot of help. We had a lot of discussions together to make this as smooth as possible.

Largely known for such games as City of Heroes and Lineage II: The Chaotic Throne, NCSoft is perhaps one of the most prolific publishers of MMOGs in the industry today, nearly eclipsing Sony Online Entertainment in the sheer number of titles available.
