I get the feeling that most posters here consider biggest let downs as those that didn't allow them to move on from WoW.

Care to disagree?

 For me it have to be Aion,the videos of the game are better then the game..

i played on the Chiness OB,and the game is just boring,maybe its getting better on the higher lvls,but for me it was a let down.

Vanguard hands down

yeah Aion blows imo and AoC  is just as bad

Darkfall without a doubt.

*A lot* of promises with less than 30% of discussed features actually at release  ( despite Tasos's claim of "100% feature complete"....that quote needs to go down as one of the lies of the century in gaming development. )

AoC and WAR, their boxes line the wall of shame alongside Vanguard.

DDO because of the high expectation.

WAR

Age of Conan, definately. What made it worse was that the developers actually dared to lie to their customers agian and agian until the customers finally got fed up and left in flocks

Weird thing is VG would go on my list of games that were the biggest pleasant surprise.

How most current MMO communities focus primarily on solo play as well as PvP, and shy away from aspects that once made this genre great.  I could take almost any game on the market and throw in an old-school UO or Ryzom community and would be content regardless of the games structure or status.

Aside from this, the decision to scrap UO2 was my personal biggest let-down.

My biggest let downs...

WAR was not a big disappontment - i did not expect much and did not get much - its a draw.

Vanguard was disappointing yes, buggy in the beginning and empty when i tried it again.

Tabula Rasa was very disappointing, expected more from Richard Garrison.

but the biggest let down for me in mmorpg history was LOTRO. Not because it was a failure or is a bad game but because it is nothing special, while the LOTR books are special among books and the LOTR movies are special among fantasy movies.I probably expected too much from it, i was hoping for some kind of middle earth online but all i found was a kid-friendly "click here" to get experience quest grind with nice graphics and shallow game play.

Thankfully i found a new home in an almost forgotten MMO.

the NGE from swg.  I mean come on, they get your hopes up with this awesome game, and then erase that game and make an entirely new and totally crappy game with the same name.

 Anything with DARK in it

Darkfall

if I say anymore about it I might have to kill a  kitten.

Tabula Rasa was probably the biggest dissapointment just because it sucked big time and it was made to sound really cool. I was also kinda dissapointed with WAR and Darkfall would have been the biggest dissapointment but I wasn't excited about it to begin with.

EQ & EQ2  going from P2P to P2P with an item mall.

Don't you mean anything with DARK added with "and Light" or "fall"? Because DARK Age of Camelot is a good game.

For me, it'd be WAR. However, that's just personal opinion, because I let myself get too hyped for it and that caused me to have unrealistic expectations. I only played it for a couple months but am considering returning now that the Call to Arms expansion is complete.

for me it is AOC, i dont care if this going to be WOW killer or whatever. I just hate to see this game get failure because this game have the best pvp, & graphic.

 SWG was the BIGGEST let down ever idc what you say because it had us fans work long and hard for our jedis then they let corrupted devs destroy the true vision they had for the game. biggest dissapointment ever

Ah yes!  I loved DAoC.  Thank you for the correction haha

Every MMO released in the last 4 years. All have been mediocre, all haven't pushed any boundaries of innovation, all have been more of the same of what's come before. Only players they stay with them and think they're the best are those who've just come to the MMO genre in the last 4 years.

Meridian 59

Planetside: in that SOE left it to die on a shelf. One of the best in its prime.

Biggest flop for me was loosing the pre-cu system in swg.

Major runners up: Dark and Light, Vanguard, The way SOE have left planetside (Awesome game).

Honorable Mentions: Darkfall, Age of Conan, The Matrix Online, RF Online.
