IncGamers Tim McDonald and Belinda Vaughn ask what would happen if your MMO world were to close.
"Nothing lasts forever, something we humans are finding harder to comprehend by the day. For instance, I can't imagine a time when the site of my home, currently a newly-built estate, will be abandoned as the coastline of south west England recedes further inland, or when the sun will eventually swell in the throes of death, slowly engulfing the earth and the rest of the planets in our solar system."
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
Hm, some very good points there. When the water (players) recedes, the Mansion (WoW) will be abandoned ;)
Dang... Such a depressing thought... FFXI will be alive forever!!!
Not even atoms last forever, eventually there will not even be dust left.
I'd like to think that the community aspect will keep at least some players together when a game world dies.
