The MMO Cancellation Quiz

MMORPG.com's Jon Wood has put together these general questions about MMO cancellations to test your knowledge.

When a new MMO launches one of two things will happen: either the game will do at least moderately well and continue to thrive, or it will eventually flounder and die off, forever relegated to the cancellation shelf. Sometimes it happens after the game has had a long and somewhat productive life. Other times, games are cut down before they even see the light of release day.

This week’s quiz is designed to test your knowledge of MMOs of times gone by, from cancellation dates to circumstances. Good luck!

Answer

The Matrix Online: Based on the exceptional 1999 Keanu Reeves film (I know it sounds like an oxymoron) and its two sequels, this IP seemed tailor made for an MMO. Over time, however, the IP's popularity waned and along with it interest in the game until SOE finally shut the doors at the end of July 2009.
