Khan Closes

The Khan: The Absolute Power Website (thanks Frans) has the announcement (posted yesterday in spite of the date it carries) that IENT is shutting down Khan as of yesterday, frankly saying the game does not meet their high standards. (Time out for a quick Kirk scream.) As consolation to Khan subscribers, they are offering a variety of perks, though no refunds:
At this time we (IENT) feel that the current version of Khan does not meet our high standards of game play and the lack of on-going development by Mirinae would be insufficient to improve this situation. Therefore, IENT will be discontinuing the game effective 9 AM EST Sept 5, 2006.

All currently subscribed accounts will receive 1 free month in Helbreath and Legend of Mir3 in addition to having any full months that remain on their Khan subscription transferred to both games. Please take a look at each game at their respective websites: www.helbreathusa.com and www.lom3.com. HelbreathUSA is a strong PvP game with a variety of events; Mir3 has strong RPG, questing and PvP action.

You can also receive 1 free month of Warbirds, our award-winning flight simulator, by contacting support@ient.com; you can check out Warbirds 2006 at www.totalsims.com. It's a superb flight simulator and lots of fun learning the various techniques to utilize the planes to their best advantage in dogfights. It does have a Training Arena, so it can be an excellent introduction for new players also!

Anyone who has paid for a 3 or 6 month subscription will receive a credit in each game for any remaining full months on their subscription. For example: if you paid for a 6 month subscription on Aug 8, you will have the 5 full months that remain on your subscription credited to both Helbreath and Mir, as well as the 1 free month for each game. This gives you 6 months on Helbreath, 6 months on Mir3 and, if requested, 6 months on Warbirds to check out each game.

In addition, all Khan players will be accepted as closed beta testers on any new games we test and participants will receive a free month in those games after they go pay-to-play.

FFS! Give the players the option to get their damn money back.
If anyone is willing to pay for that crap then a helpful pointer towards a better game can only be a good me, even if it costs them.

but so many of these smaller-dev projects begin and end with the school year it's like clockwork every year

That explains why I'm scratching my head trying to figure out where this came from then.

You know what bothers me most about that screenshot? The fact that N,S,E, and W are all marked on the minimap. If you just gave me N I would feel comfortable taking a stab at the rest.

Was anyone really subscribed to this? Seemed like the US beta wasn't even a year ago, but I only remember it at all from all the bad jokes.

At least they can play Helbreath, any PVP war game that uses comic sans in it has got to be high quality!

Anyone with a subscription that wants their money back and doesn't want the subscription to the other games should challenge it through their credit card company.

what the hell is it? what was khan?
a summer vacation student project that ran out of time and enthusiasm when middle school started again? sorry for the sarcasm (ok not really) but so many of these smaller-dev projects begin and end with the school year it's like clockwork every year.

Honestly, what other company would even consider this an acceptable business practice? If you want to entice players into your other games, then give them the OPTION for their credit to transfer over at like 2:1 or something.

The game was a MMORPG that lasted 3 years and from what I can see the graphics were so-so.

Anyhow, since it's too late to play it, might as well just make some Wrath of Khan quotes.

I shall leave you as you left your subscribers... marooned for all eternity at the center of a dead game... buried alive.... buried alive...

But buried alive with Helbreath / Legend of Mir3 gaming goodness! I suppose that's almost as good as the underground world of Project Genesis? Nah.
