Title: And another one bites the dust (Exteel) Post by: DaZog on July 30, 2010, 08:17:00 PM From Exteel homepage~ (http://www.exteel.com/us/news/archives/2010/07/all_good_things.html)
I played it now and then, but the cash shop for Exteel was poorly thought out. Things cost a lot, and/or you just rented them out for a week. Sad, not a lot of giant robot MMO goodness out there.

Which pretty much describes most of NCSoft's catalog now that I think about it.

Didn't have too much skill curve depth tho so I eventually got distracted by other games and forgot about it. They probably would of been better off if they just packaged it as a multiplayer shooter with minimal if no RPG elements instead of a free to play MMO with an item shop, then derived additional revenue if successful releasing X-pacs and new mechs as DLC.

Also it was just a lobby + gameroom f2p shooter with robot design not at all a mmo. Fun though and I'd bet they made some money with it.
