Renaissance: The Chronicles of Chronia

Renaissance: The Chronicles of Chronia was a never-released, single-shard sandbox MMORPG in development by Hungarian studio 3D Magicbox, promising an open persistent world for tens of thousands of players, character appearances that changed based on player actions, and guild-run cities with their own laws and politics. Development was put on hold in January 2011 and never resumed, with MMORPG.com's own forums confirming "Renaissance Discontinued."
