Oh wait, it is NOT going under. No matter how I feel about LOTRO, or even DDO, neither of those games went under from price reductions. TR is not under....YET! I also have this feeling TR does not require as much horsepower as a standard MMO, due to the heavily instanced setting. This could help keep the game going longer. It will be there for a little while, and has become one of NCSoft's focuses (and hopefully soon part of a pay once play a lot group of games scheme ala SOE) @Hudson

I wonder if there's some MMO witness protection program for game gurus with failed visions. I'd like to think I'll be driving down some isolated road in America's heartland a decade from now and come across a quaint roadside bistro run by Brad McQuaid and Richard Garriot hidden behind bad wigs and mirrored sunglasses.

Expect an announcement soon, despite what NC Soft has been lying about for 4 months (starting with the Dungeon Runners lay offs) A game is usually cheap for one reason: it is going under.
