I can't help thinking of Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa, which did not do well.

For the youngsters: they're both alums of Origin Systems, storied PC game developer and home of Wing Commander and Ultima.

First thing I thought of, too.

And your post reminded me that there are people out there who don't know the glory that is Lord British. That dost sadden me.

Or for a more recent example, 38 Studios.

MMOs are a notoriously hard genre, and while I wish him luck, it doesn't inspire optimism.
