Dragon Empires was a fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game that was in development by UK-based Codemasters. Its main focus was Player versus player clan action to take control of 50 cities in five empires within its world. On 3 September 2004, Codemasters announced that they had ceased development citing technical issues.
On 6 September, Dragon Empires producer Gary Dunn explained that their server code was incapable of supporting the number of clients expected for a massively multiplayer game. This prompted a six-week review of the game's viability, which found that the cost to fix the difficulties would be high and the decision was made instead to cancel the title. *
Despite the cancellation of several MMOs in 2004, Ed Relf, marketing brand manager at Codemasters, maintained that the tightly packed MMORPG market was not a reason for the discontinuation. * The still-kicking Dragon Empires community started a petition hoping to renew development in the game.
