This is the wildest thing to get caught up on. There are way better dead mmos to try to revive.

Also never heard of it, but if it was exclusive to china that explains why.

Any word on the gameplay? Main line borderlands games are kind of mediocre, so I don't imagine an MMO would be better.

Must have been poorly advertised this is the first I've heard of it.

Never knew there was an MMO, no wonder it failed! Never was talked about on the MMO sites i visited either.

I get why this was shuttered. I love Borderlands but can't imagine an mmo of the series that I'd want to play.

But if it makes this hacker happy to pursue launching this service himself, more power to him I guess.

I feel like it makes sense for the planned market, but not outside of it. MMOs are generally more popular in China, from what I've seen.

Hackers are like crackheads. If they think there’s crack in that box they’re gonna get it out.

You mean they're like psychos.

Strip the flesh, salt the wound! Bahabahhaha!

I didn't even know there was ever an MMO

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Apparently it was exclusive to China.

Because it was one of those Chinese exclusive cash grabs.
