Garriot messed up, he was too busy planning to go into space i think.
It sounded ace in theory, hybrid FPS mmo but it just doesnt work, needs to be full fps or rpg and then there is lack of content, but don't get me wrong the theory is sound but with MMOs if it isn't good in the first week it dies no matter how much potential it has.
It wasn't made by NCsoft Korea, that is the other reason, it was made by the American part of NCsoft, probably the same nubs that "made" auto assault.
