Horizons' Fate
Just a few months ago, Alen and I had stumbled into the world of Istaria, feeling quite elated that we had found a new MMO that we could enjoy together. Since we were no longer able to sustain our playing hours (or interest in Alen's case) with EverQuest, the play style and tradeskill system in Horizons was a blessing.
Unfortunately, it seems that not everyone felt as happy as we did, since recently Artifact Entertainment had to file a Chapter 11. In other words - bankruptcy protection. Sadly, they have merged their shards and tried to keep their existing customer base happy, but as a friend said tonight - when a company has to worry about sustaining their world, chances are likely that they do not have the time or resources to be adding content... which in the world of MMO's, is what it's all about.
So, it seems it is only a matter of time that Horizons will be added to the list of failed MMO's.
[i'm a tad late in the news - official press release was dated in July]
