Another MMO Gods and Heroes dies out.

MMO's seem to be the catch abbreviation these days. However, although we see a lot of companies giving there idea of a MMO we also see them killing the project after a while. I wonder with MMO behemoths like WoW and Lineage 2 whether they have had a market research first. I really feel for these people because when you kill the project its devastating no matter big or small the project it might have been.Perhaps new MMO's should target a smaller group of people. If I am not mistaken the creators of Eve Online had set a 50000 people target number for the game to be viable. Maybe new MMO creators should do the same. Up until now I really do not understand why WoW was so successfull. Maybe the scenario, support? Nevertheless it should be taken into account for any newly developed MMO.Perpertual also has Star Trek Online on the making. I really hope they release it.Another MMO Gods and Heroes dies out.
Gods and Heroes never looked promising anyway, just look at the classes.Main two reasons for WoW being popular are Warcraft being already really popular serie before WoW and Blizzard got many dedicated fans from Diablo and Starcraft. The second reason is the newbie friendly gameplay. Many other MMO's like EVE have really steep learving curve with two hour tutorials. It's easy to quess which one MMO newcomers choose.
