Both 1 and 2 go offline at the end of January. Existing accounts can play until then, but no new accounts can be made.

This makes it the first of the "Big Three" early MMOs to kick the bucket (UO and EQ being the other two). Sad to see it go.

Honestly this game wasn't good.

It had its ups and downs. I played during a month when they decided to tackle speed hacks but it didn't work and the server caused everyone to rubberband. But I also stole some bank notes someone tried to cleverly hide in the unsecured chests at an inn.
