This weekend on Massively: December 8-9, 2007

A lot of games run through their development cycles without ever making it to release. It seems like there's no genre more prone to this than MMOs and Virtual Worlds. Some grind to a halt with an appalling crunch, and some you find yourself wondering, "What ever happened to...?"

Our own Chris Chester is taking a look at the ones that have disappeared into the background noise, or that have gone strangely quiet. Yesterday saw part one, showcasing five of the top ten of these missing MMOs.
