I think TR would have worked well if it had been set up like Guild Wars: buy it once, play it forever, and purchase additional expansion packs as they became available as MTs or something. Throw in some AI Heroes and I'd have been so there, baby.
Sometimes MMOs die because they are not any good or because they are just "played out." TR, however, was a decent game with a lot of potential that died due to piss-poor management and accounting decisions, as far as I can tell. Now, that's just sad.
For me, I was really sad when Guild Wars started dying. Yes, I know it's still online and running, but it is moribund and nothing new has been or will be ever added to it. I stop in to visit the poor bloke occasionally, but the pallid skin and vacant stare are pretty depressing. NCSoft all but unplugged life support on that game and still, it lingers....
