Door Slammed in My Face... (RIP Wish)

Well I had the door slammed in my face this weekend... You know I was excited to be in the 1.5 beta Wish (post).

An open beta, 2.0 started 1/1/2005. While a little rough at first, in the last couple days things started to gel and all seemed to be on the road for a great beta and an outstanding game. People were really getting into the game and it seemed the promise of game was really going to fulfilled.

Then yesterday (Sunday, 1/9/2005), while playing, the chat started to fill about Wish being canceled! In the forum and home page the below notice was posted at about Noon PDT.

Dear friends of Wish:

Unfortunately we have bad news.

After careful consideration of all the facts and analyzing all the data which we have gathered from the Wish Beta 2.0 test so far, we have decided to cancel the Wish project.

Our Beta test will end this evening at 6pm EST, and at this time our Beta forums will close as well.

We enjoyed working together with our fans very much, and we are very sorry about this development. We wish you the best of luck in the future, and hope that you continue to enjoy online gaming, even with Mutable Realms and Wish not being available anymore.

We also wish the best luck to our competitors, and hope that they will not suffer the same fate as us.

Best regards,
Your Mutable Realms Team



So totally out of the blue, not only is the beta closed but the ENTIRE project canceled. Poof. Gone. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out...

It's been said that if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all. So I guess I have nothing more to say...
