Imperator No Longer Rules

Imperator, an MMORPG from Mythic Entertainment, has been "postponed." Imperator was a game that asked what would've happened if the Roman Empire had not fallen. Set in a futuristic world, in Rome, it seemed like this game had a whole lot going for it. Futuristic setting, a great story, and coming off the sucess of Dark Age of Camelot, it should be a great MMORPG! Mythic said that "Our tremendous success with Dark Age of Camelot set the standard for Mythic of releasing nothing less than triple-A games, and Imperator was simply not meeting that standard."

The company has decided that it would be a better choice to focus on its Dark Age of Camelot and Warhammer titles. They will be releasing an expansion to DAoC called Darkness Rising, and a Warhammer MMO (why are all the RTS with "war" becoming MMO's?) slated for release in 2007.

Hopefully it won't be fully cancelled, because when I heard about this last year, I wanted to play it...bad. Please don't leave us Rome!
