Rank 1 – Seed
Developer: Runestone Game Development | Platforms: PC | Release: May 2, 2009 | Shutdown: September 28, 2009
What was Seed? The MMORPG was set on a distant planet where humanity was trying to establish a colony. Since the ship landed on the wrong world that was not suitable for humans, it was about survival. You had to ally with other players.
The special aspect of the title was that there were no fights. You had to try to survive through politics, negotiations, and by building new technologies together.
How long did the MMORPG run? Seed had only a few months. Just about 5 months after its launch on May 2, 2009, it ended on September 28 of the same year.
Why didn’t the game succeed? The developer studio simply ran out of money. Bankruptcy was declared, and the MMORPG’s doors closed because it could simply no longer be operated.
