Studio boss Mark Jacobs hasn't held back in his latest blog post, where he revealed his thoughts on gold sellers in no uncertain terms.
"I hate gold sellers with every fiber of my being," wrote Jacobs.
"Since WAR launched we have been banning these jerks like crazy. As of Saturday night, we had banned about 400 of them."
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.
I Hate gold spamming bastards...sending me PMs and e-mails asking me to go to this site or that.
I hope that these bastards waste many accounts attempting to spam on these servers.
Last night I was playing WAR and a notice went out (server-wide) that they already banned 100 "fools gold" accounts that night and to thank players for reporting.
Good for Mythic, these guys have a solid game here and great service.
Also, banning is a great way for revenue as well. Every account costs around 50 bucks USD and if these jerks have to buy another product key just to have it banned 5 minutes later, all the power to Mythic to reap the rewards of idiot gold sellers.
P.S. 1st B*tches!
I had two gold farmers PM me within the first 15 minutes of me logging in last night. They were quickly ignored and reported.
