They could have done some more interesting things - such as open it up for free in the last months &c. - but under the circumstances I can understand them simply accepting the last few dollars through the door.

You buy a MMO with the assumption that it will continue into the forseeable future.

Mattt wrote:You shouldn't be able to even purchase a new account is what I'm saying. Any boxes in the store should have been recalled and not permitted for sale.
Auz wrote:How do you know they weren't? If they did, then there's no need to close sign-ups since there's no-one to sign up. If they didn't, then they can't.
Shouldn't they have done this when it was first announced it was shutting down? I mean, it's kind of fraudulent to allow people to sign up to start playing a game that was cancelled.
