Auran's reportedly $13.2 million PvP-based MMO disaster Fury will shut down within the next 48 hours. The official Fury forums announced those handling the game could not find a way to keep the servers running, so both the game servers and Fury forums will shut down imminently.
We're not exactly sure who was running Fury, as developer Auran shut down late last year after the game failed to catch on. Obviously, we know this comes as a shock to the handful out there still playing Fury, but there's whole worlds of MMO titles out there to explore. We know it's hard, but it's best to accept it and move on.

They should've called the game Furry and made every raid boss some sort of marmot.
That shit would've sold like hotcakes.

I remember back in the day when MMOs were simply MUDs.

When this sort of thing eventually happens to an MMO, the devs should just release the hosting tools to the public.

I've played it at PAX the last few years, and while it never drew me in it's still sad to see a company be so enthusiastic about a product only to have it not catch on. The people demoing the game were always really pumped about it.
Best of luck in the future guys. :\

I had good hopes for Fury; too bad it ended up sucking. They had some very serious balance issues; that's the problem with small companies: sometimes you have a good concept, but tuning the small nicks and crannies can be difficult.

Whats Fury? Isn't it a talent tree for Warriors in World of Warcraft?

Anyone know if the game was any good?
It got ZERO marketing, so I'm not surprised no-one heard of it.
Never heard it mentioned on any game blogs, etc..
