Saradomin_Mage Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 That second paragraph really stings, doesn't it. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Wow another Jagex came being closed down.. honestly the company will have a pretty bad track record if Transformers and this other game that's a "closely guarded secret" aren't AMAZING. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorLepRecon Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Did 8realms ever leave beta? Guess it's disappointing if it never left beta to those who liked it. But not every game can be a hit.

Nobody Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 When there's already a bunch of games based on that exact same style this comes as no surprise. With love to one, friendship to many, and good will to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decebal Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 So, if this game crash and burned, how is War of Legends still going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpgGamer Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 You know if they put the effort they put into that half assed beta into "mechscape" or "stellardawn" or whatever it's going by now, it'd be that much closer to being done. But no, they're wasting their time and ours. Pathetic. I remember when Jagex was a strong company. And then they started listening to their 11 year old fan base...

What I am wondering is how a game such as 8Realms is shutting down its servers, yet War of Legends is still going after being on the market for a while. I remember being part of the beta for WoL and how, although hyped up, people did see that it was just another Evony clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then they started listening to their 11 year old fan base...Jagex has never really been a strong company. Andrew made a great game that took off and was managed well till he resigned. But as a company, everything aside from Runescape they have done has failed miserably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonanananas Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Disappointing. Jagex has not had one succesful game after Runescape. Funorb has been left dying, 8realms closed down and War of Legends isn't exactly that popular either. I'm surprised that Hasbro gave them the Job of the Transformers MMO tbh. They really have to land a hit with this one or they'll have big problems with attracting other franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racheya Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Wow. I'm convinced this is how the rest of Jagex's portfolio will end up. They got lucky with RuneScape - that's so obvious to see now. I don't think they have the chops to pull through with Stellar Dawn and I'm sceptical on the Transformers MMO. If it does fare well it's only because it has a big IP behind it.
