Hey Dude, Take Your Game Back!

The saga of Horizons never ends.

It just keeps going.

And going.

And going.

And going.

Meanwhile: the dude abides.

Oh, Light Bulb Guy, what won’t you do.

    Unbelievable.

    JUST… LET… IT… DIE…

    Christ.

    One of the players game up with this one…they are a fanatical group. I’d honestly stayed away from it and heard nothing until I was called by Rick on that Monday. But this image is…amusing.

    So, basically, they’re still playing shell games with their investors, creating company after company. How much money have they blown on this monkey turd?

    So wait… are these the guys backed by a formidable online golf supply company? Or was that another vaporfirm I can’t think of?

    I really really really wanted Horizons to work. It never did. I want it to be fixed though the awesome healing powers of teh interents. But I know, in my heart of hearts, that it won’t. Sadly, it won’t even die properly. Just this buzzword infested, blind hope, wildly inconsistant undeath. Is this what all MMORPGs face? Greedy investors, ingorant maintainers, hopelessly optimistic players?

    It’s a shame that it’s been through so much drama. But, it sounds like this last even is largely driven by fans and developers. If so, I wish them the best of luck; I certainly know how it feels to pour so much of yourself into a project and to want to resurrect it despite the odds.

    Rick Simmons went back in time and now owns the copyright on his own father.

    Nicademus, that was another game. Rune Conquest? Maybe something like that. Whoever they were, I do remember that the golf company owner guy was the “a company is at steak!” fellow.

  • Toastrider

    That was Dawn, where they were running a dinky web game to ‘support’ their l33t MMO.

    Which involved permadeath. And catapults you could launch fetuses from.

    Oh yeah, the company was called ‘glitchless’.

    *google* Wow, it’s STILL UP: http://www.glitchless.com/dawn.html

    Color me stunned.

    No, the saga of Red Dragon Software and Golf Clubs is an entirely different Dawn’s Fetapults. And well, Glitchless have actually produced the moderately successful (certainly profitable) Race War Kingdoms.

    Ah yes: http://gbob.onlinegamers.org/dragon.html

    Glitchless never found a publisher. Atari launched Horizons after NCSoft very quietly dropped it like third-period French class.

    Oh god. I am waiting with baited breath for Age of Realms Of Torment Mourning to come back now!

    Waaaaaait… wasn’t the amazing Mr. Jennings working on some secret project? …!
