NCSoft flushing Dungeon Runners on January 1

NCSoft will close down the servers for its free-to-play MMO Dungeon Runners on January 1. Producer and lead programmer Stephen Nichols, delivered the news in the form of a "crap sandwich." No, really. "You know ... you say something nice, drop the bad news bomb, then say something else nice."

This particular crap sandwich consisted of "The game just isn't profitable" on a bun of "Awesome players for an awesome game! Kudos!" and "You'll be getting a 30-day game time serial code and digital copies of City of Heroes Architect Edition and Guild Wars Prophecies."

Nichols topped the crap sandwich, which we're sure he didn't expect us to describe in such detail, with a few bonuses for players for the game's "End Time," including boosted XP and loot drop rates. Of course, this is a game with "TURDs" for currency and "Bling Gnomes" that poop out items, so our dwelling on Nichols' metaphor is simply in the spirit of the game.
