Wizards of the Coast has announced that Gleemax is out. The social networking site for gamers is scheduled to be phased out and completely removed from the internet in September 2008 so Wizards of the Coast can focus on sites like Dungeons & Dragons Insider and Magic: The Gathering Online. On July 28, Randy Buehler, Vice President of Digital Gaming, posted an entry on Gleemax announcing the news.

The Gleemax site was first created in October, 2007. It was designed to allow tabletop gamers to interact and talk over forums, share blogs, write reviews, chat online and play free Gleemax games. A marketplace function was also discussed, but never implemented, and there were also links to Dungeons & Dragons Insider and Magic the Gathering Online.

I’m not a tabletop gamer or anything, but I will miss Gleemax for one reason and one reason alone - Desktop Tower Defense. I loved that game. It was just so simple, and yet such a great time killer. Now I’ll have to go buy Ninjatown for my DS instead.
