Ballerium Suspended [Nov 08, 2004, 10:40 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Majorem Website (thanks Frans) has a confirmation that development on
Ballerium is suspended, confirming indications that the upcoming MMORTS was in
jeopardy (story). Here's the deal:
Having no viable alternative and following the collapse of Majorem's only client, development is immediately suspended.
The technology, demonstrated successfully with Ballerium will now be offered as-is for whomever is interested in making an offer.

There have been a few - 10Six was a few years ago, but was actually pretty decent
Unfortunately, to be able to really do an rts you need to overcome the issues that mmorpgs tend to avoid - collision detection, lag, trying in some way to prevent only hardcore players from accomplishing anything, etc

I for one would like to see a damn RTS MMO. Duh.
Like Savage: The Battle for Bebe Newwerth?

Those poor investors...boo hoo.
Your special unit would be a sweaty fat man jumping around screaming "WOOO! WOOOOO!! GIVE IT UP FOR ME!!! WOOOOOOO!!!"

The title Ballerium just sounds scary, anyway...like a MMO game designed by Steve Balmer or something.
