So when's that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/torchlight"><em>Torchlight</em></a> MMO coming out? When it's ready, and when <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/torchlight">Runic</a> can muster the money and resources needed to properly handle the long-term commitment that an MMO represents, according to CEO <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/max-schaefer">Max Schaefer</a>.<br />
<br />
"An MMO is a hell of a commitment," Schaefer tells <a href="http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/04/19/slow-down-runic-cant-commit-to-torchlight-mmo-yet/">Rock, Paper Shotgun</a>. "It means we're gonna be doing that for a few years at least prior to release and then committing years of support for it afterward. So it's a decision we take very, very seriously."<br />
<br />
RPS says that a <em>Torchlight</em> MMO has always been Runic's end goal, but given the fact that the 30-man company is still fiddling with <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/torchlight-ii"><em>Torchlight II</em></a>, we suspect the massively multiplayer version remains a ways off.<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/2012/04/19/runic-not-ready-for-torchlight-mmo/">Runic not ready for Torchlight MMO anytime soon</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:00:00 EST.
