'Global Warming, bio-terrorism, errant asteroids, and genetic science gone awry could wipe humanity from the face of the Earth… [This] is a real once-in-a-lifetime event that will save a history of humanity's greatest achievements, digitised from human DNA and personal messages from people all around the world…'
"Still find it hard to stomach that voting 'The Simpsons' as second best TV show of all time will be the basis for humanity's second coming?

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.

MMO-Play gathered a list of the most disappointing MMO's in the history of gaming.
