Fists of Fu, a new action/brawler MMO from Outspark, has begun open beta. Interested players can register now; those who register by September 30th will be entered to win an iPad. More events and contests are planned throughout open beta.
With great power comes great responsibility and that is also true to the studios behind some ambitious free-to-play games. However, sometimes the ambition is just too much and some promising games fail before the dust even settles down. Or there was some miscalculation along the way and players didn’t correspond as expected. Whatever the reason, some games didn’t stay long with us.
I'm going to go ahead and call the company that actually managed to delete all characters and game data from it's server by mistake the biggest 'blunder' in MMO history, much less this year.
It was a game with no English release, so we never heard of it over here.
MMOHut, "Fists of Fu is a side-scroller MMORPG with anime style graphics that mixes a fantasy themed persistent world with instanced dungeon stages. The game resembles Dragonica Online in many respects, but one key difference is that movement is limited to two dimensions. The character and monster models are still rendered in 3D which helps give the game a modern look, but the art style is a bit lighthearted and humorous..."
MMOHut, "Outspark’s light hearted beat-em-up MMORPG Fists of Fu is entering open beta testing soon! On September 9, 2010 Fists of Fu will open its doors to the general public for this final round of testing. The open beta is scheduled to last until the 22nd of September and should transition to full release at that time..."
