Interesting.. Wonder if news of this has hit the Nexon forums yet.

Their sentiments are similar to ours. And here's what Hime has to say.

It is quite unfortunate what has happened to BannedStory. This has come to a surprise to us as much as it has for you.

Please understand a violation of copywrite and trademark is a highly legal offense. While players and community members view things in shades of grey, lawyers sometimes do not. They are simply doing their jobs. You say they aren't taking down hack sites or ps but what you don't know is probably they have sent C&D and those sites have done nothing about it. I applaud the admin of BannedStory for complying with the C&D but hopefully we can fix the situation that has been presented before us. More to come later.

By the looks of it, it was a decision made by Nexon Korea themselves.
