Hell hath no Fury, neither does anyone else now

by Alexander Sliwinski { Aug 5th 2008 at 3:00PM }

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 would've bought four.

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.

and the source code! That way, you know, it doesn't go to waste...or something >=)

Don't people always find a way to keep games alive by private servers? :P

Sounds like a severe misunderstanding for the need of a business plan.

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. :\
