Another ARG bites the dust. According to a wordy announcement on noahboddy.com, “…the current Noahboddy.com game must be brought to a definitive close.” This cancellation was attributed to lack
of sponsorship and funding.
There is still plenty of action out there for Alternate Reality Gamers, however. Current live games include:Chasing the Wish, Time Hunt and the JMX Experience, with L3 and Ark II possibilities in develpment.
The March 6th, 2003 edition of the New York Times included an article by Charles Herold on Alternate Reality Gaming that features the history of the genre presented very comprehensively, along with links to Cloudmakers, Unfiction, DeadDrop and ARGN.
The article traces the history of ARGs and mentions The Beast, Lockjaw, Uncap the Ride, Alias, and Push NV, among others.
Players of the MindQuest game Terraquest were shocked to discover that the game is being discontinued due to lack of an adequate player base. According to a statement posted today at TerraQuest1.com, “there is simply not enough participation in the experience to keep this version of TerraQuest going.”
Registered players will be refunded any money spent on registration or express clues. In addition, there was indeed still a winner of the initial $25,000. Congratulations go out to Roland Spencer of San Diego, CA for solving the first (and unfortunately only) game period.
This marks yet another online game meeting an untimely death. We can now add TerraQuest to the likes of Push NV, Majestic, and Search4e.
We’ve resolved the connectivity issues with Doug TenNapel, and have rescheduled the live chat for this Sunday, December 8, 2002 at 4:00 pm EST/1:00 pm PST.
Once again, the chat will be held in #unfiction on the Chat-Solutions network (irc.chat-solutions.org). For those of you without an IRC client, #unfiction can be accessed via a browser-based java applet here (www.argn.com/chat.htm). Check in the Unfiction Push NV forum for more details and chat guidelines
Sadly, Doug TenNapel was unable to attend last night’s live chat in #unfiction. Depite the fact the guest of honor couldn’t be there, there was a great turnout and some great conversation that continued into the early morning.
We apologize for things not going as planned, and are working hard to reschedule the chat with Mr. TenNapel. Please check back here for more details as soon as we have them.
