God drat. How does the guy that made Ultima 7 turn around and make this? I wouldn't even put this monstrosity to my name if I was RG.

Because Ultima 7 wasn't made by one man.

Do MMOs with cash shops shut down these days? I thought they would just limp along on life support for a long, long time while bilking the few players who are too financially committed to stop logging in until the end of days. Like Wildstar.

A ton of cash shop MMOs have shut down.

content update appears to be the last

PPPpppppppbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. "Release" version is only a couple months old, if that. Could this be any more of a pump and dump?

Most of the population staying in Trammel really showed how much the players were "tolerating" the PvP of UO.

it was a bad idea, so how this gets repeated a decade an a half later

Wildstar answered that question, and the answer is idiocy.

It's the name of their in-game nightclub, which is where this "party" will take place.

Was Garriott never that involved?

He put together a videophone mounted on a remote controlled Segway, so he didn't have to be in the office.

I'm finding it hard to believe that even the deepest of Bitcoin loonies would believe that any of that would ever happen, but apparently enough people did to keep enough money around for the owner to cut and run with.

Also for whatever it�s worth but Romero�s image has been rehabbed somewhat. It�s clear, watching YouTube videos and reading Master of Doom, that he was largely responsible for why Doom / Doom 2 were such great games to play.

We�ll see how his new game turns out to be. I�m honestly cautiously optimistic.

Romero also just seems pretty chill nowadays. He was even on Hbomb's trans charity stream.

It's no Monsterw21faces scenario (shilling for APB and saying everything is fine, right up to the bankruptcy and shutdown announcement).

You'd think killing and eating an embodiment of the hopes and dreams of children would have some kind of negative consequences.

Could they make it sound even more like they're just reading off a checklist of "RPG Features".

Entropia is just an MMO where you can turn in-game money into real life money. All of it depended on there being a large playerbase of rich idiots to pour money into the game and for the company running it to be able to pay up when someone wanted to cash out. During the height of its popularity, you could have made some actual money off rich idiots playing it.

How many not-quite-child brides has that dude brought over from Eastern Europe at this point?

None? One of his ex-wives is Romanian, but each of his other wives have been adults he has worked with or met while working.

Did Romero do anything bad besides Daikatana?

He popped into Hbomb's trans charity stream to give his full support, and that more than cancels out Daikatana.
