At level 11 in Dungeon Fighter Online as part of my traditional “race to the bottom” whenever an MMO shuts down, and I can’t help but notice a distinct lack of dungeons. And fighting. Why is it that 85% of the creatures you fight against don’t even bother fighting back? Does my character have bad body odor?
It’s been a couple of weeks since Bullet Run shut down, so what time better to criticize everything that was done wrong? While it wasn’t a terrible game, Bullet Run is another piece of evidence that you can’t just throw out a free to play shooter and expect it to bring in the same kind of dough as Team Fortress 2 or Call of Duty. It also doesn’t help that the game was heavily accused of having a pay to win system, but for the casual player the game fell short on a big factor: no content.
There is also the factor of the free to play shooter genre, amazingly, being even more saturated than the free to play MMO genre. Most gamers have settled into either a specific game (Planetside 2) or move along with their brand (Call of Duty/Battlefield), so to put out a very basic arcade shooter is inviting a market flop. The market leans even harder against a newcoming shooter when said game launches, again, with a total lack of content but a fully featured cash shop. It’s a bit like a stadium opening up with no bleachers, but with fully stocked (and priced) food stands.
That isn’t to say that Bullet Run would have been a runaway success if it had launched with more content, but additional game modes certainly wouldn’t have hurt in convincing players to stick with it in the long term and throw some cash Sony’s way.
Today’s MMOrning shot comes from Everquest, in celebration of the game’s fourteenth anniversary. Yes, in two more years Everquest will be of legal driving age, and then presumably will be able to pick up the pizza you ordered through /pizza in-game.

So today’s MMOrning Shot isn’t from an MMO, at least not yet. What you are looking at is from the upcoming community-sourced MMO: The Phoenix Project. Set in motion by a group of die-hard City of Heroes fans, Phoenix Project looks to rebuild the super hero MMO that thousands enjoyed, even if it isn’t exactly the same product. Phoenix Project is being developed on the CryEngine3 Unreal 3 Engine. If you want to check out the project, hit up this link to Missing Worlds Media.

Dino Storm has cowboys on dinosaurs. I’ll let that sink in.
That piece on the chest plate looks like it might be some sort of coolant system, but it’s actually an Old Republic George Foreman grill for cooking up a grilled cheese sandwich on the run. Bounty Hunters have to eat too.

I am not the kind of person who dwells on the past, which is why I spend a lot of time looking at screenshots of games that I used to play that have since shut down. Black Prophecy no doubt required more advertising than it received. It wasn’t a bad game and you can see from the screenshot above that the game looks absolutely gorgeous. Gamigo shut the game down last year after it launched to low reception and after the developer Reakktor Media went bankrupt.
