Via Jolt: :Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa may not have made the impact its developers hoped it would, but it's still going strong and has plenty to offer existing players. Two of the game's developers, mission designer Jason Ford and lead world designer Michael Hutchison, talk about the efforts to improve existing content – specifically the reworking of Magma Caverns."
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.
GamesRadar - You probably think online worlds shut down because no one's playing. Actually that's rarely true. Often, when servers finally wink out, there's a thriving community patiently waiting for the end and making sad faces at the sky. Most recently it was PlayStation Home, a game that no-one apparently played but which still managed to have millions of inhabitants waiting out their own personal apocalypse on the last day.
MMO-Play gathered a list of the most disappointing MMO's in the history of gaming.
I played it and didn't like it. My gripe with the game is the ridiculous amount of EXP it takes to level up, even in the beginning. Up to lvl 5 was kinda easy and it came along naturally, but then I actually stacked up some quests, finished them and collected my rewards all together. Finishing a dozen quests, each worth about 4.000 EXP, wasn't enough to level up after about six hours playtime. Even grinding would have been useless, as most enemies were only worth up to 200 EXP each. The graphics are nice and the gameplay is different to most other "click and wait till it dies" MMORPGs, though.
