Let nostalgia take you back to the lands you once roamed until they were cruelly taken offline and away from us. MMOGames list the top 10 MMOs that died and left us with a hole in our hearts.
I agree when it comes to The Sims Online. That game was really fun and nothing has even come close to it. I still crave a new Sims with online multiplayer. Blows my mind they haven't done anything like that since The Sims Online or even The Sims Bustin' Out on PS2.
Kevin from Denkiphile: "The first I’d ever heard of Titan was at the height of my World of Warcraft career, which was also the same time that several games, touted as WoW-killers, came onto the market and failed miserably. It made sense to me at the time that the only thing that could kill WoW was Blizzard themselves, but this also eventually changed with the advent of session-based, microtransaction-supported games like League of Legends. Titan was supposed to revolutionize and revitalize the MMO genre, but it certainly was not the first to crash and burn before its first flight. Here are some MMOs whose ambitions flew them too close to the sun."
The closing of multiplayer services can happen for a number of reasons. Sometimes there just aren’t enough people using a product to justify keeping it running while in others it could be down to complicated legal wrangling, like expiring licensing agreements, or even a desire to bring out a new installment.
One thing is clear though – many of these discontinued games simply don’t deserve to die, to be cut down in their prime leaving players without a viable alternative and waste all that time the audience invested in them. With that in mind, this article will count down the 12 games least deserving of being shut down, the ones that players the world over wished had kept going.
sweet, will be cheaoer is I don;t like it. Will be trying this for sure!
bad news for mythic. the closer and closer they get to november for launch the more dangerous the launch is for them. Especially as the closed beta has been unimpressive to say the least for most people. Add the content cutting (a sign of having to meet a corporate deadline) and you have to start worrying about quality of the game and whether it has enough to keep people busy after they level cap. Also if WHO gets into the 2nd week of November before release its gonna bust period. No corporate executive of a company developing a MMO should even contemplate releasing a MMO in the vicinity of a WOW expansion.
more of a reorganization I would say. and yeah....I think alot of people are impressed including myself. and again..it's beta still...look at some old stuff on the wow beta, omg did it look bad
cant wait for this. would love to be in the beta. anyway looks like i ll have to wait one more month.
