This was part of some desperate attempts to rejuvinate the project, closely followed by many staff being laid off, but it has not worked. Fury is to be no more. Auran’s forums have a message stating, “Auran have reached their time limit to find a solution that would help them keep the Fury servers open. No solution has been found and so they have no alternative than to shut the servers down.” [...] [...] Back in December 07 we mentioned that MMO Fury had added a free-to-play option.

I still can't bring myself to try this one out.

By all accounts I’ve heard the game is terrible… so, does free to play make it any better?

Interesting idea though, common zones with a MMO look and feel then instance fighting areas. Fury = Streetfighter with martial weapons and magic + some character development = (Yawn)/(opinion)

Free 2 Download + Free 2 Play = Free 4 Ever!

How could that possibly work? Yes, we could assume that:

Download + Play = Ever!

But that doesn’t account for

Free + Free = Free
