BBC Pulls Plug on ‘Doctor Who: Worlds in Time’

The BBC has revealed they will be discontinuing the Doctor Who: Worlds in Time browser based game on Monday March 3rd. While I don’t know how popular the game has been – I tried it and found it a bit boring – I’m sure there will be plenty of Doctor Who fans who will be sorely disappointed. At least they’re offering players a discount on purchase at the BBC Shop to help salve the wound.

The announcement:

As of today, January 14th, 2014, the game will no longer be accepting transactions from players. Existing players are welcome to use their earned in-game currency over the next two months. Customer support and game maintenance will be available through the shutdown date.

We want to thank the loyal players of Worlds in Time for supporting the game through its years of operation. The BBC has also provided the following discount code for Worlds in Time players to use in the BBC Worldwide Online Store.
