NCsoft at Memorabilia!

NCsoft had much to show off at Memorabilia this year, headlined with an incredible City of Villains Collector’s Edition giveaway for the first 2,000 visitors each day! Live game demos were taking place on an hourly basis where we presented City of Heroes and Guild Wars to hundreds of excited visitors over the course of the weekend, with a few lucky attendees given free copies of our games!

Adding to the gloss of the occasion, our Guild Wars and City of Heroes models, Reyna and Ms Liberty, were also available throughout the weekend for photo opportunities! Our professional photographers took 53 pictures over the weekend, the proceeds of which were all given to the Everychild Charity.

Eight gaming PCs showing City of Heroes, Guild Wars and Lineage II found themselves waylaid by fans and first time players alike, eager to experience the games and, for a small donation to charity, obtain one of our sought after Starter Packs.

Last but certainly not least, Draw the World Together was present, with Kat Nicholson and Jason Cardy sketching all weekend for the pleasure of our fans and managing to raise over £1,000, again for the Everychild Charity!

The dust has finally settled on Memorabilia, and it was great to see everyone, fans and staff alike, all having a great time. We’d like to thank everyone who attended, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
