PS3's MMO, Endless Saga, truly becomes Endless

For those who had been following the next-gen MMORPG circuit, perhaps you had heard of Endless Saga. Developed by Webzen and for the PS3, Endless Saga was to be the next step in MMO gaming which utilized the Unreal Engine 3. The Saga stopped short, though. It was canned recently and according to Webzen because "after some rigorous development effort, we found the gameplay of Endless Saga to be short of innovation and creativity we seek to achieve in online gaming space."Good. The last thing we need is another generic, formulaic, achieve-nothing MMO. While it would've still been a neat idea, it gives the lovers of WoW, FFXI, and for the cheapskates in all of us, Guild Wars or Maple Story more time to clock into their worlds. Sorry Endless Saga, but thank you at the same time. For now, Webzen has nothing in the works for PS3, but perhaps they'll try again later. A question, though: would you rather see a port of an existing MMO, or a brand new creation pop up for the PS3? Some people do like familiarity, plus they might have some badass equipment. What do you think?

That was a game I was looking forward to checking that one out.
I would rather have new offerings. WoW, FFXI, and the others just don't do it for me.

Um, endless means without an end.
If it's being shut down, the title should probably be Endless Saga comes to an End, or something like that.

New IP. The old ones are already reaching their primary audiences on PC, which will always be the main domain for MMO games as a platform.
