Title: Dragon Empires
Post by: DepthBlade on September 05, 2004, 02:27:09 am

For anyone that was watching for the Dragon Empires beta release or just keeping a eye on their amazing progress in the last years, here is something you need to see

   
Dragon Empires newsletter - 3rd September


It is with much regret that we have today announced that we have now ceased further development of Dragon Empires due to technical issues we have recently experienced with the game.

This of course is extremely sad news for everyone concerned with the game. For regular visitors of our forums, these will remain active for the foreseeable future to give you the opportunity to give your feedback and keep in touch with your fellow Dragon Empires community members.

We are still very much committed to entering the MMORPG market and are currently evaluating other potential opportunities, keep your eyes and ears open for news in the not too distant future.

Thank you again for all your loyalty and support over the previous years and we only wish we could have rewarded your passion and enthusiasm with the final game.

Best Wishes,

The Dragon Empires Team

Indeed, it did look amazing. The graphics looked... astounding. I looked at it briefly, but did dig too deep because I knew it would be a p2p game costing $30+ a month. I am pretty surprized that the development ceased, but It doesn\'t effect my gaming in any way...

Yeah it was p2p but even so they put SO much work into this and just abandon it WHATS UP WITH THAT?!

I tend to call it Slothfullness, or Lazyness, depending on my mood.
Actually they probably had some major internal problem -finacially speaking- and cut off the apendage(s) that were not \'needed\'. This just happened to be one of the \'un-needed\' fingers. :(
