Horizons Tries Playvault, Artifact Files Chapter 11

Posted by simoniker on Monday July 26, 2004 @07:05AM from the notso-goodso dept.

StanTheHand writes "Horizons, the Artifact Entertainment PC MMORPG, has joined forces with PlayVault to 'migrate' users from a bunch of other MMO games - it works by 'fetching your old game currency so [Horizons] can provide you with the proper amount of currency on your new game', meaning you can go from being rich on Ultima Online to rich on Horizons seamlessly." In related news, as noted by Terra Nova, Artifact Entertainment "has now filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors in a move to keep operations alive", although "game play will not be interrupted at all by this decision."

It did have potential by Fiz+Ocelot · 2004-07-26 09:45 · Score: 2, Informative

I played Horizons for 3 months, started a month after release. It had some good ideas and a lot of potential. I did have a big adult dragon (required a difficult and lengthy quest), fun to fly around the game world for a while.
But the game ran out of content, and was plagued by problems and poor management. I don't really plan to play another mmo (played quite a few), they always seem to turn into a waiting game for more things to do.
