The World of MMOCraft.

Talk about a rough market. A few months ago, Flagship Studios (A “up and coming” company devised of the original blizzard team) announced the company dissolving due to financial problems, taking their hyped up failure of a game, Hell Gate London, off the MMO map on January 31, 2009, just 15 months after it’s release. Now let’s fast forward to now

NcSoft just came out and gave notice that another one of their games, Tabula Rasa, is going to be getting axed from the wonderful world of MMO’s. This comes as no surprise, within a VERY short period of time into the game, many people were doom calling the games demise. For years Tabula Rasa was that fairly decently Hyped up game to come from the “Genius” developer, Richard Garriot, better known to people as “Lord British”, grand ruler of the Ultima Series.

It just leads me to wonder what is going to happen to the world of MMO’s. You hear so much hype about games, and they just totally end up bombing. Is it just the games over suckage, or is the “WoW factor” in play (10 million people playing WoW = 10 Million people not playing a MMO other than WoW). I just hope this growing trend dies out, I am still heart broken as it is with Auto Assault going down in summer of 2007 before I could enjoy it one last time. /sigh
