They were calling it an MMO at the time, but when Masters of Orion 3 went live, it was so bad that the maker Quicksilver closed all support for it within 30 days of launch and took the web site down.

Alganon - Easily the worst.

STO - I couldn't stand the characters, animations or ground combat.  I didn't stay long enough to really get the hang of space combat but it felt wonky as well.

EQ2 - I had tried it in hopes of it being better than WOW.  It was far, far worse.

Runes of Magic - Probably the most boring leveling I've ever experienced.  I quit long before I would run into the P2W aspects.

At least the did the right thing with Masters of Orion 3, some Devs refuse to do the right thing when they know that thier MMO sucks.

AoC strained my eyes playing it. Not sure why. 

I couldn't get into Lineage 2.

Worst combat, for me, was LotRo. 

Biggest disappointment in that I wish there was more of it: DCUO.  They could have done so many great things with that game.

Anyone saying some of the major-ish titles clearly has not played any of MMORPG's that dwell in the dark parts of internet gaming:

Metin 2, Oz Online, Rappelz *shutters*

FAXION was pretty bad before it was shut down

I have to also list Second Life O_o

I guess the difference is that I am rating them more on playability, how the game run's, bugs&glitches, then how much fun I had second...I have a feeling this list will moslty be just bitterness towards more known titles.

I haven't played a lot of the obscure games on this site, but all the "major" ones that most MMO vets have. Out of all the MMO's I've played, the worst experience I've had was with FFXIV version 1.0. I tried really hard to like that game. I followed it for years, was a complete fanboy, and loved their first MMO. I went back numerous times throughout, and even paid a sub at one point when they went P2P, but that game was just awful. I didn't have overinflated expectations; I just wanted a Final Fantasy game that was at least as playable as their first MMO. I mean they had a decade worth of expereince developing and running an MMO. How bad could it get?

It's really the one and only game that embittered me. I can find a way to have fun in nearly every game so long as I'm with good company, but FFXIV proved to be the exception. Bah, I'll stop now or else I'll just derail this topic with a massive rant on my disdain for that game.

Still cheering for 2.0 though so I guess I'm not too bitter!

What is the worst MMO You ever played?

Mortal Online

EVE online

I don't get why a glorified skill spreadsheet with 0 content is popular.

Hellgate: London, no contest.

Basically, a shooter trying to sell itself as an mmo (and failing, due to plenty of technical problems).  There are legends about how bad the opening was; the legends are insufficient description.

Well Main reason I came up with this thread was for fun. Plus it is intreasting to compare notes with other gamers who list thier worst MMO that they have ever played.
