The MMO that never would be, Project Copernicus, whose release title was to be "Kingdoms of Amalur", was to be a revolutionary event in gaming history. It ultimately got that honor but sadly for different reasons. It's well known that the words, "We're trying to keep the company solvent," from Rhode Island Governor Chaffee were the beginning of the end of the project. 38 Studios went bankrupt as we approached the tail end of development on the world's most ambitious MMO.
