id Turned Down MMO Quake

id Software turned down offers of "good money" to develop a Quake MMOG
says John Carmack in a Q&A tidbit on
Shacknews, who adds
that id "has no interest in MMO development," and will not be attempting a
project like that anytime soon, saying he is "fully cognizant" of the challenges
and risks associated with MMO game development. The quote another recent
conversation with the id Software technical director where he points out that
development of Quake Live is a "significant effort" for the company and they
underestimated how difficult it would be to get up to speed on all the website
and database backend development such a project entails.
