"How can a game be such a failure? Did they hire zero playtesters and have monkeys for programmers? Geez. Throw 100 million dollars at a crowd of random people and you could probably get a better result than this. "
Actually, there were about a thousand or more, even had a public/private servers for people who had reserved the copy or had tested beforehand. I was one of the '3rd wave' testers known as the Sharpshooters who were supposed to test the gameplay. Many of us thought that the gameplay was lacking and while we had been working on balencing, we thought it was lacking overall.
I was one of the people who actually -liked- the game. It's sad for me to see it dissapear so soon, like the supporters post-mortem said, it had potential, but there were enough bugs with it to mess it over in one way or another.
The payment system I actually didn't have a problem with, it was just like any other MMO, but with the potion for people who don't grind MMOs, so the optional pay for hours method was great for them where they may not play all month and ahve leftover time at the end of the month.
