Ask HN: How do I sell my (M)MORPG?

[K-Zodron]

So I have this everyday problem of having a smallish MMORPG hanging around and I need to get rid of it. It makes on average maybe 500$ profit a month, but can surely be made bigger by someone who actually works on it. Personally I haven't had motivation to work on it for about half a year.

So, uh, what kind of sites are there where I could put up an ad for this kind of thing? Or should I shamelessly email competitors or something?

The game in question can be found at http://www.zezeniaonline.com

Just curious, how have you marketed it so far?

I see 75 people online right now, how many total players in month do you have?

Monetization is free to play with an item mall?

[K-Zodron]

Posts in various forums, links at a couple of MMORPG toplists and stuff like that. We sell "premium cards" which give premium time when used ingame. During this time you have access to exclusive areas and stuff like that.

We have about 1.5k accounts used during the past 7 days.

I'm interested. How can I get in touch with you?

Flippa.com sounds about right.

Flippa is not a one-sized fits all solution. It works OK if you're looking to sell quickly, at a price for less than your website is worth, but it's not a place to sell serious businesses IMO.

Isn't Flippa.com for websites?

[coryl]

Not specifically. Facebook apps, mobile apps, software, all get traded there.

That looks an awful lot like Tibia.

Maybe because both look a lot like Ultima 7?

Question: why is everything greyed out on the site except for a Facebook "recommend" button?

[K-Zodron]

Because I suck at designing.

[Zolomon]

This looks awfully like a 90% rip-off of Tibia.
