Why is everyone pretending to be sad? Obviously no one gave a shit about the game enough to, you know, play it, subscribe to it, keep it alive.

Personally I thought the concept was stupid the moment I saw it in action. A third person shooter MMO? Thats retarded. Do you hear that SOE? RETARDED!

Its a shame that NCSoft got suckered into believing that just because Garriot copied Ultima a hundred times, that he was Will Wright or something.

I agree with you on the first part....but.

1. There was a first person mode.

2. SoE wasn't in charge of this game. If you're commenting on another game clarify.

3. Just because YOU don't like something doesn't make it a horrible concept.

4. Garriot wasn't in charge of the game at beginning. He came in somewhere in the middle of development.
NCSoft wasn't "suckered"

5. You're an idiot, but that's the norm when it comes to MMO posting. lol

The game wasn't bad by any means, it just had some severe issues at the start and it never was able to pick itself up, even after the nice changes recently made.

On a personal opinion note. I don't see how it wouldn't be possible to make this game f2p with 1 or 2 servers, or add an asian style pricing plan where you buy items.

Either way, the game wasn't horrible, it just never took off because of several issues.

SOE is making The Agency, which will basically be Tabula Rasa based in present day.

And it will fail. It will fail hard.
