Eurogamer has received confirmation from NC Soft that they will not require Guild Wars and other MMOs with incompatible business systems to use the recently announced NCcoin for in-game micro-transactions:

NCcoins are paid for with real money and let you buy special items and equipment. Currently they're only available in MMO Exteel, but the publisher is looking to include it in as many other games as possible.

"Currently there are no plans to use the NCcoin system in Guild Wars," a spokesperson for NCsoft told Eurogamer. "NCcoin will not be retrofitted in games that have business models that do not work with a micro-transaction system.

"We will, however, work to have NCcoin incorporated in as many of our games as possible. What role NCcoin will play in our future console offerings is yet to be determined."
