Siliconera points to the LinkedIn profile (now appended) of a former Behaviour Interactive employee that had listed the title as canceled. The site also notes that around March or April of this year several employees working on Wet 2 left for other companies. Another LinkedIn profile of a current Behaviour employee notes Wet 2 as a past project.

Bethesda, which published the first Wet game, told us today, "We are not publishing Wet 2." Behaviour had yet to respond to our request for comment as of publishing.

What gives?

Punishment in virtual worlds is always a tricky topic; warning or banning players is all very well, but doesn't always get the message across. Second Life's virtual corn field gives naughty players the gift of boredom, but MMO Roma Victor has gone one further.

A player convicted of ganking in this MMO, which aims for historical accuracy, will undergo the standard Roman punishment of crucifixion--he will be hung from a cross for a week in-game. The penalty also carries with it a ban. Hopefully this will dissuade other players from following suit--the public nature of the punishment serves to highlight the crime. If making an example of miscreants works well, perhaps other online games will try the idea.
