MMO games that have failed?
Author
Anyone know a list, or have a list of MMO games that have gotten to a beta stage, or close to it, and then failed??
I know Dragon Empires stopped development in Beta. Any others?
Going with the title, i know know one game right now that has failed, or will fail, in the very near future, do to the fact that the guy "designing" a game thinks he has "the best MMO ever." He said in his own words he's making the Quake 3.2 of MMOs. Maybe i should make a research paper out of him, take a look at his psyche before and after the game.
Rubies of Eventied did fail, but now apparently they rised again.
MS canceled their latest MMORPG attempt (forgot the name) and I heard rumors that Ultima X was canceled as well.

Isn't failing part of the definition for MMO games?
As far as gameplay goes, yes.
UO2 and UXO have both been shelved.
Motor City Online saw a tiny release before being crushed.

UO2 was the biggest named mmorpg to ever get cancelled. It didn't fail, it was nearing beta test when it was vaporized by retarded execs on april fools day. Worse. time. ever. I was a huge member of the community, interacting with devs, and players. It was PC Gamers most anticipated game of the year for about at least 6 months. Shadowbane was usually 5 slots below it. Goddamn, how that game would of roxed. The devs came up with a fantastic PvP system for the carebears and killers. It would of also had one of the best resource/tradeskill mechanisms ever. I feel worse for the team than I do for the players. Those guys were working uber hard.
I wish they hadn't given up on Sovereign [sad]. That game was looking way cool. I wrote an article tho on online persistence for Game Design Perspectives and I realized how hard it actually is to make an MMO RTS, so I guess I'm not surprised they had to can it. Still... woulda been cool.
