I Wiki'ed it:
"True Fantasy Live Online is an MMORPG which was in development by Level-5 for the Microsoft Xbox. After a long and troubled development cycle that lasted almost two years, the game was cancelled on June 2, 2004. Available development and promotional information depict a massive fantasy setting in which up to 3,000 users—each with their own fully customizable character—can set out on adventures with one another, fighting monsters and collecting various items.
Despite being "fully playable" and near completion according to Microsoft around the time of its cancellation, the title's development was littered with complications from the very beginning. One such problem was Level-5's inexperience with online network coding and their inability to properly implement voice chat compatibility into the game, a feature never before implemented on such a large scale in an MMORPG. However, Microsoft was very adamant on its inclusion, as it was a key feature to their Xbox Live service."
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA.....
They couldnt figour out a smart way of getting 3000+ people in the same area to be able to voice chat with one another.
MS demanded this, and it led to them canceling the game.
Who ever heard of a MMORPG (esp those days) with voice chat? thats crazy weird.
Also why does MS always interfer with developers that make games for them? and in these weird ways and then end up canceling games (even if "fully playable"?)
