The world of Warhammer just got a bit smaller. In an interview with with MMORPG.com, Mythic Entertainment VP and General Manager Mark Jacobs (not to be confused with fashion designer Marc Jacobs) has revealed some big cuts for the Warhammer Online's launch. Namely, the capital cities for the Dark Elf, High Elf, Orc, and Dwarf factions are gone. That leaves two capital cities, Altdorf and the Chaos Inevitable City.
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.
wtf
gimping the game allready down to 2 capitals, damn i was hoping for some kickass dwarf architecture on this one :(
What I would love is an mmo in the 40k universe! there is so much great material to draw from... the thought of a playable Tyranid race puts a smile on my face.
This is very bad... seems they are rushing the game out the door.
To be successful they need to take their time to complete the game and polish it to the limit, just like Blizzard did.
I have pre-ordered 2 copies of the Limited Editions WAR but this "scares" me. I really hope they do the right things and don't follow FunCom/Age of Conan's path of releasing a beta full of bugs. I'm done with AoC because of that, can't stand the game anymore because of all it's bugs. If AoC was polished to the levels of WoW it would be huge.
"Im hoping for someone to dethrone wow some day...."
Maybe Dragon Age? Bioware have a great record of RPGs but we'll have to wait and see about their MMOrpgs
Ouch
Better
Delay
make of them as you will.
