Fury closes its doors

Fury - Image 1It's a sad day when an MMO has to close down, unfortunately, it is a reality we all have to face.  Fury's CEO Tony Hilliam announced on the game's official forums that they have reached their time limit to find a solution which will keep the Fury servers open and that they have no choice but to shut down the servers in 48 hours.

He apologized to the players who enjoyed Fury for not being able to find a viable business model that would allow them to keep playing and he threw a shout out to the Auran team, saying that they did their best but it just wasn't enough to keep the game going.

The developers of the game have already taken the liberty of informing game stores to remove their video game from the shelves more than a month ago. They added that if you purchased a copy of the game within the past month, you may want to take it back to the store.

That said, we would like to wish the Auran team the best of luck in whatever future endeavors they may partake in. Know that there are players who will miss the game you guys created.

However it clearly illustrates my primary gripe about MMOs. Loyal dedicated players have purchased this game and probably had to pay a monthly fee to remain active. What do they get for spending some of their hard earned cash? Closed servers and an apology.



I'm sure there's probably some convoluted legal reason why they can't just release the server executable to the public so that players who spent money supporting this product could continue to enjoy it even though it is no longer officially supported.



This is what I mean when I say MMOs need a more consumer friendly End-of-Life plan.
