http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/137608-Blizzard-Cancels-Titan-MMO-After-Seven-Yearsquote:"We had created World of Warcraft, and we felt really confident that we knew how to make MMOs," Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime explained. "So we set out to make the most ambitious thing that you could possibly imagine. And it didn't come together. We didn't find the fun. We didn't find the passion. We talked about how we put it through a reevaluation period, and actually, what we reevaluated is whether that's the game we really wanted to be making. The answer is no."

The most ambitious thing you could ever imagine but apparently making it fun wasn't the first loving thing they did - a description of every modern game developer

I like how metzen has the stunning lack of self awareness to say that its important to know when to quit after sinking 7 loving years into a lovely mmo that deserved to be strangled in the cradle

Yeah I mean it all comes down to your definition of the death of WoW. If it's people playing, then yeah you're going to have to wait until the last handful of weird holdouts dies from assorted sedentary illnesses but when the official servers are finally shut off feels like a better milestone.

Wow will keep living until we forcefully snuff it out Like even of we try to kill it it'll be like some story where we actually accidentally leave one player alive and he is the one from the prophesy who grows up to be the supreme wow player or something Like the embodiment of that troll self insert guy What IM saying is that wow is bad

Mung Dynasty posted:was there ever even a scrap of artwork or a logo or anything they probably kept all that stuff internal, because they realized it was bad and didn't want to show it i mean they even restarted development completely on titan last year. thats how bad it was. a company that released heart of the swarm said "no, this is too bad, we have to start over."
