NCSOFT is Korean!!?? WTF? Why BETA?

I just read that NCSoft is a Korean company, are they not the developer's of Guildwars? The article I red came out that way... if they are indeed the devs of GW then why in hell is Korea still using the beta when the rest of the world has the official release???

Because it was produced by http://www.arena.net based in Seattle.

ah... damn, still poopy for my situation

As further insult to injury, I've been "loaned" a beta account by a korean friend who works in a pc cafe (this is how I got hooked on gw). But when I installed the client at home I installed from the English site so it's not the beta client. Now it's in my registry and it doesn't matter if I delete, uninstall or anything, when I install and play it won't let me play because the account only has access to the beta client.

Welcome to the world of globalization.
