Topic: Why was Faldon abandoned for so long anyway
Was feeling nostalgic and checked in here and saw James was posting so hopefully he can answer.
I always wondered why this game was abandoned. I thought this game if developed properly could have been a genuine competitor for Runescape. I actually left Runescape for Faldon since I thought it was more fun and traded my items in a cross-game swap.
Lots of similarities between the two, with both games developed by two brothers, launched during similar times, and were classless mmorpgs. But Runescape kept being developed and the original brothers sold it for like $100million, while Faldon just died off. Saw the original runescape creator is soon going to launch his new mmorpg Brighter Shores, while this game is still waiting for 'new client' for 20 years
Were you ever thinking of developing Faldon or mmorpgs as your fulltime career rather than whatever path you ended down?
