YUPPI!! Mythica is cancelled!!

[Sprafa]

Mythica is no more


Microsoft cancels its forthcoming Norse-mythology-based MMORPG.

I was really looking forward for this MMORPG, with supposedly a "story" and even better, about Vikings myths.

Damn....That would have been a nice MMORPG

Oh btw, why "YUPPI"? Sarcasm?

 

[Sprafa]

Yep, its puer ol' Sarcasm

 

[Brian Damage]

Maybe he was calling Microsloth yuppies?

EDIT: Oh?

Good MMORPGs get canned all the time. One of the more suprising ones was the fully 3D sequel to Ultima Online, called "Origin"... or was it "Origins"?

 

[Brian Damage]

I thought it was Ultima Online 2.

That one with the Meer and Lizard people?

 

[OCybrManO]

I meant the Ultima Online series (if there is more than one, I never got into them)... not the first Ultima Online.

 

[Crushenator 500]

bah, i hate these games. 1.money issues
2.theyre not to my style, i preferr violent/futuristic games, not elvish games

 

[Brian Damage]

Whatever happened to the Ultima Online 2? It looked really cool... then it just seems to have disappeared...

 

[OCybrManO]

There are some violent/futuristic MMORPGs... but most of the people that would spend all that time and money on a character are more interested in medieval/fantasy themes.

 

[Sprafa]

Neocron is a fine example of cyberpunk MMORPGs.

 

[OCybrManO]

Oh... silly me!

"Ultima Online 2" and "Origin" are the same game... and both are dead.

EDIT: ... and here are some old pics from before it got cancelled.

nonono, i didnt explain properly, i mean i prefer to have a gun in my hands running through corridors shooting people in the head, then having a top-down view and doing it. not as exciting for me.

 

[OCybrManO]

Isn't Neocron a first-person MMORPG?

 

[Sprafa]

again, Neocron, however with RPG base, has FPS view.

edit - OcybrOman beat me to it......
