Patrick Roche-Sowa: WAR is everywhere, and today, the day that Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning finally hits store shelves, we are bringing you an in-depth look at everything this new MMO brings to the table. Going right to the horse's mouth, we spoke to the developers at Mythic Entertainment that have been putting their blood, sweat, and tears into this game for more than three years.
With features like Realm vs. Realm combat, Public Quests, Living Cities, Living Guilds, the Tome of Knowledge, and a trophy system with tons of unlockable achievements, Warhammer Online is a game that demands your attention, and then slaps you across the face with awesome. This could be it, the game that finally destroys your fear of commitment and forces you to become a part of their world and all the questing, looting, and violence that comes with it. So call up all your Greenskin friends, down a few frosty mugs of mead, and prepare for WAR.
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.

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.
