What happened to APB? Seemed quite interesting when I saw vids a while ago.

On topic: Lol.

They shut down the servers. Since I never followed it Im not sure why it bombed out.... but yeah.

On 17 August 2010 Realtime Worlds was placed into administration. The administrators intended to keep the company trading whilst they attempted to find a buyer for the firm. If a buyer could not be found then the long term future for the game was uncertain.

On 16 September 2010, as the administrator was unable to find a buyer, Realtime Worlds announced the shutdown of APB[25].
Servers remained online the following day, during which time an unknown source apparently close to the RTW development team sparked rumors that Epic Games, creators of the Unreal3 engine on which APB was based, were showing interest in the APB intellectual property rights. Dana Cowley, spokesperson for Epic, neither confirmed nor denied the idea, stating:
"Mark [Epic Games CEO] absolutely loves APB, and everyone here loved what they saw. We've got our hands full of Gears of War 3, Bullet Storm and the recently announced Project Sword. If any talks like that are going on, then they would be confidential." [26]

Pew pew pew

Im taking bets: who here wants to bet that this "mmo" will beat APB as the worlds shortest lived mmo. APB lasted 78 days...

Do I have any takers?

I reckon 90Days just taking into consideration of how many fans he had...

I bet they have a section in the game called "Pedobear's Playground!" LOL, this won't last long.

Now they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
