This is a monumental step for the game and the community and it is with great pleasure that we welcome you all.
WAR has come, it is now up to you to forge your destiny and choose your allegiance in this epic struggle."
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.
If I played MMORPGs I'd probably be all over this, most likely. Maybe.
The European registration server have been blown to smithereens
"Dear all,
I rarely address players directly, but I wanted to write you as too few of you have been able to access the open beta today.
As my team explained in the previous post, although we have opened the servers and corrected numerous issues during the last 24 hours but we have not yet solved the issue of saturated Open Beta key activations that we’re currently experiencing. I am sincerely sorry for this, and I understand all the frustration the situation has spawned.
Today was a dark day. We expected a massive influx of players, but reality was even harsher.
I personally commit that we will communicate to you as clearly as possible on the resolution of these current issues. My goal is to give Warhammer Online the success it deserves. Be ensured that all GOA teams, with Mythic’s support, are working hard to bring you the best possible game experience.
Best regards,
Ghislaine Le Rhun
GOA CEO"
and yes i am pissed i am frustrated as sunday was my only free timeframe for the next 10 days to at least get a look a the classes.
And my fears are even further growing that the headstart will be the same mess (first gamelaunch in years i actively took 2 days off from work to relax and play a videoplay)
after many, hours of d/ling and patching (if I didnt have a uber cable connection, I wouldnt even try for another few days)...I have about 12 hours in and the game is addicting...they do some excellent stuff which will be used in all MMORPs..
I just cant justify paying 15 bucks per month to play these types of games, after paying for the game....
performance on a high end laptop (512M graphics card) is terrible, but at least they tell you that
