TerraQuest Throws in the Towel
Sad news today from Mind Quest Entertainment. In an announcement posted to the main page of the TerraQuest site today (but oddly dated yesterday), Keith Griffin announced that the game is ending prematurely, citing a lack of participation. All registered players have already begun receiving refunds of their registration and any express clue charges they paid. The first period winner was Roland Spencer of San Diego, California, who was awarded the $25,000 prize.
Straight from the horse's mouth:
January 16, 2003To the Players of TerraQuest
We want to thank you for your enthusiasm in playing TerraQuest. While the comments from those of you who are players have been wonderful, there is simply not enough participation in the experience to keep this version of TerraQuest going. As a result, we will discontinue TerraQuest immediately.
By discontinuing TerraQuest now, we can take the compelling storyline and combine the user and editorial feedback to modify the structural part of the game. We thank you for your support of TerraQuest and we look forward to providing you with more entertainment options in the very near future.
Since its inception, MindQuest Entertainment has prided itself on its integrity and providing exceptional entertainment value to you, our customers. As a result, all registration fees and express clue charges will be refunded in full to each player and the winner of the first Game Period (Roland Spencer of San Diego, California) has received the $25,000 prize. Thanks again for you participation in TerraQuest.
Most Sincerely,
Keith Griffin
President/CEO
