In what must be one of the fastest closures we've heard about, it would appear that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/GameKiss/">GameKiss</a> has decided to shut down their "action MMO" <a href="http://nidaonline.gamekiss.com"><em>Nida Online</em></a> tomorrow -- just short of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/09/22/nida-online-wants-you-to-bathe-in-numbers/">8 months after it launched into open beta</a>. While they don't give specifics as to precisely why they've opted to shut down the game, MMOCrunch is <a href="http://www.mmocrunch.com/2010/05/17/nida-online-shutting-down-tomorrow/">citing financial issues</a> as the reason that <a href="http://www.gamekiss.com">GameKiss</a> has decided on this course of action. <br />
<br />
In either case, while it's never good to see any MMO community lose its home, we suspect that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/nida-online/"><em>Nida Online</em></a> players will likely bounce back. After all, there are a great many other free-to-play games with solid populations to choose from -- and a new one launching (seemingly) every other day. <p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/05/17/nida-online-shutting-down-tomorrow/">NIDA Online shutting down tomorrow</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 17 May 2010 15:00:00 EST.

If you're the type of person who loves watching big numbers tick up on the screen, then boy do we have the game for you. It's called <em><a href="http://nidaonline.gamekiss.com/">NIDA Online</a></em>, and it's for those of us who feel better after seeing gigantic numbers tick up on the screen.<br /><br />We'll be honest. We're not exactly sure what's going on in this game. There's <a href="http://nidaonline.gamekiss.com/guide/storyline.jce?mID=22">mages, summoners, and knights</a>, but then there's also <a href="http://nidaonline.gamekiss.com/download/theme.jce?mID=33">pictures of people</a> in power armor in addition to medieval armor. We're really confused. It's also billing itself as an action MMORPG, which we can only assume means fast paced combat.<br /><br />What we're not confused about, however, is the <a href="http://nidaonline.gamekiss.com/forum/bbs.jce?bbsIdx=27&amp;contentIdx=23052&amp;mID=11">open beta start date</a>. The game is opening their doors tomorrow, so anyone interested can jump into the open beta and give the game a whirl.<br /><br />If you want a better look at what you're getting into, however, we've embedded one of the number spamming videos into this post after the break. The quality isn't very good, but <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwlMHJE82Mk">the numbers Duke, the numbers</a>!<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/09/22/nida-online-wants-you-to-bathe-in-numbers/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>NIDA Online wants you to bathe in numbers</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/09/22/nida-online-wants-you-to-bathe-in-numbers/">NIDA Online wants you to bathe in numbers</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:00:00 EST.
