Hi guys. I hope that someone will someday back a game as big as Majestic again, or at least as big as Majestic could've been. They didn't follow through as much as a lot of us pre-launch people hoped, but it was still a great start to making a fully immersive ARG.

In the meantime, I'm trying my hand at Aware and Zyzygy. Gotta take what we can get. Smile

Hi Yliandra! Now, I don't know if this game is going to be any good or not, but see this thread for a Majestic-type game that is due out in the U.S.

I'll probably play just to try it out and give it a review.

In my opinion, 9/11 was just a convenient excuse for them to pull the plug.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I really, really enjoyed Majestic, dispite all of its problems. Very innovative stuff, a little too linear for me, but they really gave it a good shot.

I think they were the first to bump up against the hard realization that subscription based games of this sort just can't generate the number of players needed to be viable. Everyone points at Everquest as proof of concept, but I really think this is apples and oranges.

To the startup subscription-based ARGs, we salute you:

Majestic
Search 4 E
TerraQuest

Very Happy

Oh, and Kendra was hot.

I finished, stayed to the bitter end.

Funny thing is, I don't really remember how it ended. All I remember is that Joe Pantoliano showed up, we all went "ooooooh, Joe Pantoliano!" and then that was it. Laughing

I stayed till the end.

I was a Beta Wave 2... Loved the Game despite its down falls..

What happned was Joe played a reporter, he was supposed to meet someone to pass on some info, but never showed up...

He disappeared and know one knows what happened to him.

and thats when they pulled the plug and left you hanging..

that's it? They left you hanging? That sucks. I think I remember seeing a video from Joe and then I stopped playing. I guess I didn't miss much.
