Rubies of Eventide Woes

Tuesday November 25, 2003
A message on the Rubies of Eventide Forums indicates that this fantasy-based MMORPG isn't generating enough revenue to sustain operations, and will likely be shutting down this December. "Even if I could find the where-with-all to fund continued development, larger and larger companies and concerns now dominate the market and the market is becoming saturated with competing products. A company as small as Cyber Warrior simply cannot afford the type of hype and advertising that are required to establish and maintain a viable customer base." It's sad to see this happening, but I'm afraid there will be plenty of similar stories in the upcoming years.
