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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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