Wish: Mutable Realms Comments on Cancellation

Mutable Realms president tells fan sites that subscription-base projections resulted in Wish cancellation:
The letter/e-mail states: Wish has been shut down because with the data we gathered during the first 10 days of our Beta 2.0 test, even with our best-case projections for player numbers, we could not have reached enough subscribers for Wish to sustain itself."

It's called BS, they closed the beta because they got way more people then they thought they were going to, they've been claiming 10,000+ people in a server, they got almost 70,000. That just isn't a valid reason for cancelling it.
Now from my experience in the first beta and my breif experience in the 2nd beta, (about 30 minutes) they should have either cancelled it or gone back to the first beta code.. The first beta was so much better, the graphics were nicer the interface was clean and polished. The 2nd beta looked like the interface had been hacked together in 10 minutes. The combat system was bugged and far less friendly then the one in the first beta.
I just think they should go back to the first beta code and release.. Or at least give the code away for free so someone else can run the game.
Or YOU Glamdering! -HeHe
Yea-This decision really surprised me too... After all that, O-We got steady funding, and O-We got too many beta applicants!?!?
But-Hey, at least they tooka whole five minutes outta thier busy, unemployed schedules ta englighten us!
Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.

what's that supposed to mean? (you sorta lost me there)
at any rate, the loss of Wish is a crushing blow to gamers looking for somethign other than the basic-see-it-everywhere mmorpg that we commonly see now on the internet, the games are all starting to have the same feel and Wish could've been one of the few exceptions in today's mmorpg market, and exception that could've lead to great things
They couldda used YOU there ta tell 'em ta size it down or notch or two

Well, if at first (right after the cancellation news) I felt rather sad and sympathetic to Mutable Realms, after this new arrogant statement by them I regained the deep-space calm I had all but lost a week or so ago.
I think the way they announced their failure was unbecoming for a team so praised for their "constantly keeping in touch with the community" and all that kind of thing.
I am no fan of Wish, mind you. I actually played the beta for only about an hour before the closure. But I think there's still something wrong with the way the devs deal with the community which by all means deserves a better attitude.
Good riddance, losers.
