This really cuts to why both this and SC have problems. According to Reddit, They had vague intentions to begin with and one of his key advisors is the same guy who worked on UO and put pressure on him to make it a MMO too. Since none of them have been developing games for years, they didn't realize that this genre isn't popular anymore. I remember in the KS that Garriott addressed fans who really didn't want a multiplayer component stating that they couldn't ignore how popular multiplayer games like Farmville had been. ....Yes you can. 90% of people who funded you just wanted a proper single-player Ultima ending. Another thing I read is that they're convinced that this game will sell well when it's done since 80% of gamers at cons haven't heard of them.


'Cause that guy's a walking disaster when it comes to projects. Not to mention a pretentious pseudo-academic. He hasn't shipped in over a decade, I think his life revolves around blog posts and GDC talks now.

Actually, I don't if anyone working on Shroud of the Avatar has shipped in the last decade.
