Now what was released wasn't bad at all, but the problem is that scrapping the original so late in development meant that the costs to develop the game ended up being 1 billion Won ($100 million). The game simply wasn't making money fast enough to cover the development costs to justify NCsoft's continued support of it. If it hadn't cost so much to make, NCsoft would probably have kept it going.
