I had forgotten about Shadowbane. Sheesh after playing Meridian 59, Ultima Online, Everquest, and then World of Warcraft I just thought the future was sooo bright. How the fuck did we end up here?

WOW. By blowing up as big as they did they made big corpos expect their corposlop to perform just as well. They went all in on the mega huge budgets instead of focusing on making games that were fun. That era of gaming is finally dying out, so it's possible to see smaller groups make smaller games again. A good MMO with a small, solid base, could perform well. The current crop doesn't seem like it will be the one to turn it around. Pantheon and MnM are dead in the water. Adrullan is probably the next candidate that has an actual chance of launching.
