The best way to end an mmo is to open source it, give out the files for dedicated servers and update the client one last time to add a join to server ip window on the front page of the gui.

Then you live forever and your fans will thank you for it.

I agree. Dungeon Runners was mildly amusing, but it forgot that humor is not a substitute for gameplay, especially if one wants this money stuff in exchange for play. I also thought that they had some terrible ideas about what should be behind the money gate. I mean, seriously, reserving basic conveniences like stacking potions in a high-potion-use genre like the Diablo clone? That doesn’t convince me to fork over cash, it irritates me and lowers my opinion of the designers, which is exactly the -opposite- of what you want.

Of course, I’m not sold on the whole idea of treating Diablo clones as MMOs, even free ones. I think they lend themselves to a solo or very small group style of play that’s more appropriately priced with the traditional buy-once-and-then-pay-nothing-extra-for-multiplayer model.

In these times when the big question for every MMO is how to make a decent endgame, it seems that the only way to make it interesting is to go out in the most crazy way possible. Are MMOs emulating the single player endgame, finally?

F@#$!

Well at least those decent gents gave us a good long while to say goodbye, instead of dropping some two-week notice like so many others.

Dungeon Runners would have made an awesome and fun multiplayer (4-8 players) game that you could play online or solo (hmm.. Like Diablo2?). I played it for a few months and then stopped because I’d had fun and was done.

This game would have been a (small)hit, if it hadn’t been MMO-ified.

I’ve never played Dungeon runners. In fact I’d never even heard of it until I read this post. Yet, I am saddened.

There’s just something about the finality of the end of an MMO, free or otherwise, that gets to me. I felt the same way about the Matrix Online ending despite never playing that either.

Makes me wonder what the end of World of Warcraft will be like; if it ever does.

Downloaded the client about 3 times, never actually installed it… Eh.

That’s not the case in this instance, so you can fret not. DR was fun throughout.
