Cause it is about to go bye bye. SOE got bought out by an Indian company that plans to do all the development in India. Feel free to feel what you wish about that. Usually the contracts like what LA would have had with SOE have a non-transference clause in them, so LA doesn't get stuck with their game being developed and run in a 3rd world country, case in point.
No idea how long before this buy out takes effect or when the servers go dark but it doesn't look so good right now.

Note this may not be true. Indians do worship a god with an elephant head and 4 arms after all, so who knows what they are smoking. Errr, wait, was that very rude and racist of me to say that?

Well that sucks, although it is rather funny if you think about it

It's possible

Smed is denying that a sale took place. Of course if Sony were to sell off SOE, Smed would be one of the last to know.

Your implying that Smed actually knows something Arch....

Do the Indians even have enough money in their country to afford to buy.. Anything?

Why the fuck would Indians wanna buy a MMO company!? i thought it would be some Asian country like China or Korea where the kids own one of every game

India is technically an asian country. Yes, they do have the money. Every time you call a help center, they get a dime and God kills a kitten.

Says the page doesn't exist. Must have been a lie. Just like the cake

Yeah, the story has since been retracted. It may be related to SOE wanting to have their games made available to India and they are working with this company to do so. Indians think they will own the world through crappy customer service or something like that, so them becoming a sub-contractor could easially be taken as them buying out SOE.

So, wait.. You mean instead of paying $300 million, they were PAID $300 million? How the Hell can you confuse that? What, they think SOE would pay THEM to take the company over? That'd be.. Well, let's just say I'd want in on that deal.
