MMORPG.com’s 2006 Year in Review

MMORPG.com has published a short article summarizing the bigger MMO news stories of this past year.

Shadowbane unexpectedly became free to play shortly before its creator, Wolfpack Studios, shut their doors and fired their staff. Somehow the game survived by a thread as UbiSoft kept the game on life support before turning over the reigns to the newly formed Stray Bullet Games. If Shadowbane were a cat he would be looking both ways before crossing the street. To say that it has been an up and down year for this title and companies involved would be an understatement, but it’s still alive and that more than I can say for a few titles that had some high hopes during 2006.
