Faxion Online: Game Service Ending

UTV True Games devs have announced that three-month old Faxion Online is shutting down. Beginning this week, players will not be able to purchase items from the in-game store and the servers will go dark in approximately thirty days.
We’re eternally grateful for all the support, feedback, and competition our players have provided through thick and thin. Faxion’s development was a Herculean effort that some said was impossible given the timeframe and resources we had, and we’re proud to have delivered a PvP-driven experience that people could enjoy. Alas, all good things must come to an end.
If you have any epic stories, fond memories, or tales of glory that you’d like to share from your time in Limbo, please share them here. We’d love to relive the great times we’ve had with you all working on Faxion, as developers and as players.

All i can say is.. About time, i dont really manage to think how they expected such game to succeed in any way.
I played the game so i know what i am talking about trust me..
Never played it, but that's pretty sad that the game is only going to last about 4 months.

This.
Average lifespan for MMO's these days.. /shrug
Too bad. Would have played it too, if the game hadn't chugged despite relatively simple graphics.
Im sure it was a good game but I just couldnt get over the graphics. They were horrible.
Gave the game a go in closed beta and it was just plain crap. Same game as most already have played, worse graphics and sucky interface. So I'm not realy surprised they'll shut it down already.
And yeah... Some1 lost a lot of money out there. And I don't mean the investors. I bet there will have been some serious item-shop players in that game as well pumping 100's $ in it to get that "uber feeling'...
Everygame utv has released has beena awful. Seems like someone needs to higher new designers.
And Sean Dahlberg left SWTOR for this?

Never played the game. Know nothing about it. I'm willing to accept that all of the negative comments are pretty close, if not entirely true. But I still can't help but feel bad that it died so quickly. I shouldn't, but I get sentimental about the oddest things.
Game engine was crap, looked like arse performed like arse as well, was no reasonable explaination.
When your engine sucks your engine sucks, nothing will ever distract from it, whomever decided the game should be released with that engine as is should be held responsible.
Except it isn't, not by a long shot.
The game was fun if you enjoyed fighting other players to control zones. Sad it's closing so soon.
I found this game mildly entertaining, it held me for about a couple days, but I noticed the lack of players and just knew it was going to die. So I ended up quitting. Glad I did now.
Played for 10 minutes then uninstalled. No reason this game should have chugged the way it did, especially given how simple the graphics were. Bad coding is bad coding, and as many people well know, it's very difficult to impossible to fix (see Mortal Online).
Actually, the timing is kind of funny... Disney is completing a takeover of UTV - and now Faxxion closes
thank god this pos is getting taking back down. I have atleast sampled almost every mmorpg listed on this site and this one was a pile. I knew within 10 minutes of logging in that this game was complete shit. The homerum for me was seeing my gadges and noticing that it was cpu based.
game engine isnt crap its the hero engine its just the game is crap in it self
britz yea hero engien is cpu based but that shouldnt matter cpu and gettign to be pretty good now.
but the hero engine can use the gfx card pretty damn good 2
How did you understand the first sentence? Still trying to work it out..
There seems to be more MMOs than players nowadays.
Sad to see one die so quickly but it is also probably necessary?
