Exarch on Hold

Word from NCsoft is that Exarch, the MMORPG previously known as Trade Wars: Dark Millennium, is "on hold." Noticing that www.exarchonline.com and www.realminteractive.com are both out of commission, Frans wrote to NCsoft's David Swofford asking about the game's status, receiving the following reply:
The current situation with Exarch is this. The Exarch project is currently on hold here at NCsoft.
At the present time, NCsoft is still determining how, when and if Exarch or any of its technology will be utilized in the future. For now the Exarch team, that was based in Phoenix, AZ under the company banner of Realm Interactive, has relocated to Austin, TX and is working on other projects at the NCsoft office.

Of course, the project was doomed from the moment they dropped the magic word "Dark" from the title. And the Colon of PC Chart Success (+2).

What sort of game was it? Fantasy or what? And in all honesty I think the 2 biggest draws to City of Hero's is 1) it's based on Comic books and 2) it's not a fantasy game with elfs and orcs.

All we need now is for someone to announce the X2 MMORPG and I'll be a happy MMORPG'er

Actually, they're making a shitload of money out of L2 and CoH

Right! So why saturate it with another product and sap your userbase from either one. The only thing that's going to pull eq'ers away from eq is eq2.

On hold my ass, they just finaly realized what most others have already known, they have too many MMORPG and they are loosing money big time, because Linage 2 and Heros all suck ass.

The MMOG bubble has well and truly burst.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Another day another game cancelled.

Sure thing.. if you have two mmogs out and at least one more in the works (can't remember the name, the havok one like car wars) why work on #4. Give it a year or two.
