O2Jam 2???? where'd it go?

[Dreamcube017]

Hm, so first off, I hear all the griping about Ez2On but I heard that it didn't come out in Korea even, so let's hope they port that to Japan as well so we can all play.... ok

So now on to my main question... I remember a post being here about O2Jam 2 (NOT burst of fever, the ACTUAL O2Jam 2), so does anyone know whatever happen to that? Any info, I don't see any...

I actually have BOF and it's ok but kinda glitchy, Super Dance Online (or Dance Online is WAY more developed and better).

I'm not sure what happened, but apparently the international version of O2Jam 1 is shut down as well. Guess I don't have any more PC music games to play for awhile.

Apparently E-Games went out of business, leading to the international version of the game to be shut down.

Wow, that sucks. I had been waiting for O2Jam 2, it was fun being able to play a music game online with people. It was easier to use than DJ Max.

This has nothing to do with it. E-games just hosted O2Jam they aren't the developers. The devs are O2Media. Korea is the one you need to look out for.


Basically, it became vaporware. There was an interview with the creator of O2Jam, where she talked about the Filipino version and stated that O2Jam X2 would be released in 2008...which we have yet to see.

Vaporware.... I love that turm. ... Darn... so now all I got is IIDX sims then.... and BOF if it's still up... Hmm... Darn that bites. I really like those music games.

Other branches of E-Games is still working...

Held some event where they launched Cabal in the Philippines, so the company isn't out of business. Chances are the SEA branch wasn't turning a profit so they cut their losses and shut it down. I play Albatross 18 because I don't have a music game to play online anymore, and many of the versions are getting shut down because people aren't playing and companies aren't having it updated. The online gaming universe is starting to contract due to high competition so only the profitable ones are staying. Guess that proves that the F2P model will tend to the recycling of games if they fall out of favor so if you want your game to stay, you better use some of the P2P features.

International version was majority P2P, with some free songs and gem based songs and avatars. It died because people lost interest because they decided to cut international support for songs and charts and no one really wanted to play anymore as there weren't any worthwhile updates and it was filled with hackers (which eventually died) and people that only wanted to play the same 10 songs.

I don't think O2Media is the developers now.
They had sold the the game rights to another company last year.

Let's just hope it goes international.
