It appears FOX's attempt to turn Family Guy into an online MMO wasn't the success it had hoped. Launched in open beta earlier this year, the self-described "MMLOL" was a free-to-play browser-based massively multiplayer game set in Quahog. Apparently, it didn't win over a significant fan base, as the online game is being shut down on January 18th.
In addition, any real-money purchases made within Family Guy Online since October 22 will be refunded. The official site notes that "once the game is closed on January 18, 2013, you will no longer be able to access your Family Guy Online account or your Family Guy Online profile." So, be prepared to say goodbye to forever. If you want to see how the game looked back in July, we recommend perusing through this Massively write-up.

Wait what??? Are you serious they are dropping this already? It's good of them to refund their money I didn't see that coming... They need to port it to a real game engine because it did lag a lot on browsers so it's almost their own fault for losing players.

Serious question... Im waiting to get off work to go find out for myself..
Are they still allowing you to make purchases? If they are refunding all purchases made after Oct 22nd, im going to go throw down $20 and see if the full scale of this game can offer me a day or two of fun before getting a full refund :) -
Family Guy MMO? What?

For the "endgame", they should have all the characters trip over something, smash their knee into the ground, and then wallow around in pain, going, "AAAHHHH!!... sssssss... AAAAAHHH!... ssssss.... AAAAAAHHH!!" endlessly. After about 5 minutes of this, shut down the servers.
