I barely have an opinion. I remember it as the game Sly was playing that had silly jokes and wasn't a MMOG.

Not surprising. It was already working with a skeleton crew after NCsoft chopped the original team from something like 21 to 5 people.

The devs on this were hilarious in some of their comments in beta. I'll always remember one dev posting something like, "Big boss man hasn't made it into work today - too hung over to find his way out of the gutter" on the beta boards in a response to some comment that the devs weren't posting on the boards after New Years.

Sadly, the game was a bit ordinary.

That is a shame. I thought it was a good fun game in bouts. They did good work on this title considering the constraints (It was originally an RTS game engine) and budget they had. I am sure at least some people proved you can make a decent game with hand me down tech and a shoestring budget.

I hope all the team members land of their feet.

It was a fun little game, I'm sad to see it go. The jokes and such were intentionally corny, yet still amused me enough that I bought a 6 month sub box, and got a few other people to do so. No one played more than occasionally, and still found it worth the $20.

I might have played this more if Mythos was not around.

I played this for a good month and a half and it was fun initially but quickly got tedious and then just frustrating.    I can't say that I'm shocked they never managed to pull themselves over into "Just let it go and make money" land.

I had fun with it occasionally, but it certainly wasn't the kind of game you really got into. I've always hoped small, quick games like this could be more successful.
