Not particularly sad to see this one go. Unlike many of the other MMOs that have shut down, this one never seemed particularly worthwhile. Though that may be my anti-PvP bias talking.

So, the flashy Ro-Sham-Bo game went down, i would say only half of the people here actually knew it existed…

Hopefully they’ll go back to train sims for cash and re-visit their dreams later in a few years.

I had a chance to play the beta and found the combat to be extremely boring. I think there’s room for a “deathmatch” PvP MMO type game out there, but IMO Fury had insurmountable gameplay flaws.

I put a lot of time into the alpha and beta of this. The game could have been decent, indeed early in development it showed a lot of promise, attracting a reasonable amount of interest within the Guild Wars PvP community, but despite that the devs decided to ignore pretty much all of the feedback given and made some terrible decisions. Was expecting, or hoping at least, that it would be so good, but never even bought the actual game. Still, got a couple of hundred hours of relatively fun, though buggy, gameplay for free while testing it, so not totally wasted time.

I feel like it’s a shame to see Fury go. It was a game not without merit. It just struggled to find it’s identity in time and was further hindered by being very buggy at release. At the same time, the game passed the point where people wrote it off, so this was somewhat inevitable.

This is a bit of a turn-around from the claims made last December, when developers Auran announced (our emphasis), “For the first time, players can download FURY and play free forever.”

Only a bit, mind!
