Im not really a follower of the game but it looked promising even though most people in the beta did not like it. Anyone know why they cancelled it. On website it doesnt really say.

After careful consideration of all the facts and analyzing all the data which we have gathered from the Wish Beta 2.0 test so far, we have decided to cancel the Wish project.
Our Beta test will end this evening at 6pm EST, and at this time our Beta forums will close as well.
We enjoyed working together with our fans very much, and we are very sorry about this development. We wish you the best of luck in the future, and hope that you continue to enjoy online gaming, even with Mutable Realms and Wish not being available anymore.
We also wish the best luck to our competitors, and hope that they will not suffer the same fate as us.

What are your oppinions on EvE, I think Wish like EvE is very much an aquired taste, if you like the Hack and Slash style MMORPG like EQ then you are probably not going to like the more "sedate" games like Wish and EvE.

anybody who hated this game hated it cause it wasnt like the wow or eq2 that they are used to/wanted... this game was great ... and at least 90 percent of the beta users loved the game... if u are an ignorant asshole that played the game no wonder it got canned... because dicks like u now the 60,000 (at least) cant play the game they loved... it makes me sick that just because u didnt like it that u have to tell everybody else it was a shitty game... u didnt like it... thats fine... THEN DONT PLAY IT ASSHOLE... nobody made u play it i can tell everybody here that it was a great game and maybe it was a little confusing in the beginning ... but u know what... this game had a GREAT storyline and the main aspect of the game was not AND I REPEAT WAS NOT... the graphics... this type of ignorant asshole ruined it for everybody.
"How secure is Wish's funding? Will it definitely release?
The Wish project is heavily funded by a private investor group, which allows the product to be complete before launching. We will not rush out an incomplete title."
From their FAQ. Bah! I feel so extremely sorry for all the hardcore fans and the lads at mutable realms.

I rarely find the time to play games anymore ...... then i saw wish read the storys, chomping at the bits to get a chance to try the game. Finally get to get online and play it, and they deside to cancle the whole thing..... i have one freaking question WHY!!!!?!?!?!??! dont even have the decency to give a reasion. Thanks for the few short days. i dident even care if it was the most expensive one to play i would have payed it .......i mean come on over 60,000 ppl signed up to test it. They could have made a killing! ......their lose and mine.
It's sad to see such a good game go to the grave. My guess is that the investors got cold feet and backed out. Could be they thought that the game would not stand a chance in competion with it's prime competitor. - One can only guess.
Sad, but a game with an impressive trade skill and great server technology is gone.
They just sent a letter to all their fan sites. They claim they don't have an issue with current investing, but rather they were unable to see Wish as being profitable come release even under the most optimistic conditions. Therefore, to avoid throwing good money after bad, they scrapped the project.
Still bloody stupid of them to announce this so suddenly on a Sunday afternoon with an almost non-existant announcement. Took 30+ minutes for people to believe me in-game when I told them.
Edit: Here's the letter -
Hello,
You have been one of the most dedicated Wish fan site managers, and I would like to thank you for all your support and help.
The canellation of Wish was a very tough decision to make. I don't want to get into the details at this point, but let me just say that even with the most optimistic projections, we could not possibly get enough subscribers for Wish so that it could sustain itself.
Again, thank you for all your help and support over the last years. I really enjoyed working together with you.
The game was only in beta 2 they could of worked some stuff out. Sad when a game that had more in beta 1 then Horizon had a year after retail.

MxO: How do you even manage to care...? DnL: HOW DARE YOU USE DnL AND THE WORD "CANCELLED" IN THE SAME SENTENCE WITHOUT APPLYING THE WORD "NEVER" OR "NOT"!?!?!?
Btw: I'm sorry to see Wish go, it had promise, even if I doubt I would have played it.
Last thing we need is more failures to kill development.
As for DnL I hope it does come out, I think it will as they seem pretty determined and in no rush.
Now playing: VG (after a long break from MMORPGS) Played for more than a month: Darkfall online, Vanguard SOH, Everquest, Horizons, WoW, SWG, Everquest II, Eve
MxO I am not sure, that is Warner Bros. Plus there could always be a big advertising campaign for MxO when it is about to release that brings in some surprise numbers.
But looking at MxO, it doesnt look all that great. Besides being able to shape the future of the Matrix series.
Wish had 60k players subsribed for beta 2, but how many do you think actually even played the beta, and how many do you think liked the game? - It's obvious they got severe criticism from the testers. Point and click system isn't what most players like, and further more, most players like a level based game, unlike Wish that had no levels. Players like to get an idea of how strong an opponent is. In Wish you had no chance to know until after a fight. - Crazy. Imo, it's no wonder the game went under.
I liked to play wish because the IDEA was right. This is BETA, sorry WAS BETA, so graphic and some part of control system could change in a while. I could do everything, make my character just how I wanted to be. It was the game i wanted to play.
I KNOW that it is my second post on this forum but i also KNOW what I am feeling. So don't kick me just because I like something else that some of the writers on this forum do. When I read some of the posts the only think that comes to me is: "PLAYERS OF THE GAME MUONLINE..." They are xenophobic and ignorant. They kill other (weaker) players just for fun, and complaining about lags. That is not cultural, or in good taste.
I am terribly sorry if someone feels stuck personally with this post.
I am always attached to my char. When I do something with my char then I need to know why this person does it. This is the MAIN thing in Role Playing Games. Don't You think?
Wish was a classic case of what would have been a "cult following" game. Unfortunately, that isn't enough to sustain an MMORPG. Personally, it's the most fun I've had playing an MMO since.. well, ever. Sure, there were things I didn't like about it. PnC took me a few days to get used to, but I felt it deserved that time based on the concept alone. There were no AFK tags, a horrible tutorial, running was choppy, and it was designed lopsided towards tradeskilling.
All of that said.. I would trade all of the time I spent playing UO, EQ, CoH, and beta testing EQ2 (from the friends and family stage - not said to sound cool, just for an idea of the time spent), WoW, Ryzom, etc... just for Wish to have been succesful. Even if, say.. I couldn't play it ever again. The developers were the most involved with the community that I've ever seen with a game of this genre. I feel truly sorry for everyone at the former Mutable Realms, and wish them the best of luck in the future.
My "wish", as pertains to these boards.. is that people will stop bashing a game just because they didn't like it. You have a right to your opinion, but it should only reflect how YOU feel about the game. Just because you didn't like it does NOT make it a horrible game. Personally, I don't like CoH very much, and I don't understand how anyone could like EverQuest anymore - but people do, and that's fine. I'm not going over to those boards and wasting my time trashing a game I couldn't care less about. Why would someone who didn't like "Wish" come here to comment repeatedly on the game? Especially in a thread such as this, which isn't asking for opinions about the game. It just seems horribly pointless.
I did only have a couple of hours in the game, but I felt that this game was a keeper. It came closer than ANY other mmorpg to be what I want a mmorpg to be!
It is sad news. Maybe they bit off a bit more than they could chew with the single server idea. My beta account was activated 3 days ago, but server always seemed to be down. Never got further than the start of the tutorial. Obvious problems with the movement could have been changed before release and seems such a waste of years of hard work.
, still hoping they kidding
Comments
Yeah, they're kidding about someting like this.
/sarcasm
Too bad. Seemed like a fantastic promising game.

Its posted in the announcments section of the forum, so it seems unlikely that it has been hacke, real shame as it seemed reall promising
.
Too much competition from he big pocketed, big leagues. Possably a little unlikely they could possably afford what they were promising.
Unfortunately we have bad news.

Nab, this was the best game ever, just the feeling of being part of the story, it us just! AWSOME!
But now it ends ... the end ...

Although I trashed the game (because I personally thought it was terrible), I think this is really sad.
I think if Wish had released three or four years ago it would have been a huge success.
Very sad indeed to see all that hard work and dedication amounting to nothing.
