(DELETE THE SPACES)
My spies on the inside tell me that £5K will get you the rights to the one of the oldest MMPORPGs on the net, it's hostname, forums and 6K strong community, who may pay up to a tenner each to play the game if you tart it up a bit. It was once 180K people (although perhaps 3/4 of those were bots/clueless) to give you some idea of the potential of the format, although that was back when it was free.
Who's up for a joint bid - I have £12.60 in my wallet, any advances on this?

Sarcastic Questions:
Wouldn't it just be simpler to code your own game?
Is Spinner included in the selling price?
Rhetorical Questions:
Surely MMORPG isn't the correct description?
Wouldn't Massively Multiplayer Online Bot-ridden ScriptKiddie Playground be more accurate?
Questions I Wouldn't Mind Being Answered:
What if...Sony Online bought it?

Apparantly they now want £30K for it, which is a shame since my m8 was going to buy the whole lot for up to £20K and make it free again..
I remember that game, round two was most entertaining in my opinion. I only played for rounds 2 and 3, caught the end of round one and the start of round 4. Never got above 12mill in any of them due to my refusal to join a large alliance and my habit of annoying TPE members, who had no lives and would be present at their computer for about 20 ticks a day.

Yeh, heh.
What I forgot to mention was the £5000-odd on servers and £1000 a month connection you'll have to shell out for before you can get the thing online. Not to mention at least one full-time staff, although the community is able supported by volunteers who don't get to win games every day :O)

Massively multiplayer online role playing game. If you didn't already know. Which some people don't.
MMPORPGs... um... yes. I used to like the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
not bad...
