GoPets is Closing November 7, 2009

Fri Oct 30, 2009, 9:23 PM
I know a few former GoPets players follow me here, so I thought I'd post, in case any of them see this and haven't heard the news elsewhere.

A game that I truly adored is closing after a painful decline. I believe if it had been developed with more care, GoPets would be a household word by now. The wasted potential is maddening, and very sad. I'll miss my little darlings, but I'm sure they'll be surfing the internet in style, not constrained by a program. Maybe I'll reincarnate them in another game someday.

MrFritz has created a forum that GoPets players can visit to keep in touch after GoPets closes [link]

The intellectual property rights to GoPets have been sold to Zyanga, as I understand it, but we've been told they have no plans for the game at this time. They might end up using a few ideas from GoPets here and there in other games, and we'd never know. I may write Zyanga just to let them know some former players would love to play GoPets again, but the kinder, gentle GoPets game we had in the beginning, rather than the endless gambling boxes and such that came later.

Lately my husband and I have been playing World of Warcraft.
