Seems like the game launched in early September 2009 and had some problems which was described as 'the biggest MMORPGFAIL of the year'!

It appears to be resetting on 17 September after the initial glitch. However, the game only runs until January 2010 - so what's the point of playing it?

There will probably be a continuation of some sort but by the looks of things from the test phase last week, they're still scrambling to piece it all together. With lots of complaints from recent beta testers about the reset, hopefully, any benefits earned by players until Jan 2010 will be carried forward to whatever Hasbro decides to do in the future.
