Problems

The big concern is that this is simply not notable enough to have its own article here. Where is the substantial coverage from reliable, impartial third-party sources? Instead, you've got a long and unencyclopedic discussion of game mechanics and internal dynamic. The link to a forum has to go, of course; and other than that, you have no sources but the website itself. Links to external sources are not inelegant clutter; they provide verifiability of the article's content, which is an absolute requirement for the articles here. Wikipedia's purpose is not to be an exhaustive catalog of every game somebody has ever enjoyed playing; only the more notable websites are to be here. This orphanware may be the most fun thing you've ever been involved with; but that doesn't make it notable. (Making an article more like a press release means that you guarantee its swifter deletion as spam.) --Orange Mike | Talk 13:26, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I believe you may be hitting the digital horizon here. Looking up links to verify, Internet Growth Statistics, only about ~23% of the current internet userbase was online in 2000. That's not a whole lot of people to create and upkeep linkable sites. The fact that it didn't accumulate digital detritus isn't proof of or against its popularity -- in this case, it's simply proving that this is an old game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.97.209.53 (talk) 15:28, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

It is an old game, but one that is significant; it is reputed to be the first MMO with over 1 million players and was released by a major distributor. Certainly there can be more information added, about the combination of RTS and FPS gameplay, but external links will be hard to come by. Dapperdan2188 (talk) 07:42, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
