Since there is a best 5 mmorpgs in other post, may as well pick the worst 5 mmorpgs from your past experience.

Mines are

1) Age of Conan (played for 5 days)

2) Star Wars Galaxy

3) Asheron's Call 2

4) Shadowbane

5) Hellgate: London

 

What's yours?

 

EDIT: We should only post non-free ones, the games must either has a retail box or a sub plan. This will keep the list focus. (Yes, there are a LOT of bad free money/xp grind mmo with cash shops out there)

Think I will add 5 more lol since there are so many bad ones out there

1) Lineage II

2)Second Life ( I have no clue why this game is popular )

3) Pirates of Caribbean (yes, the Disney one)

4) RF Online

5) EVE online (sorry fans, but this game just too slow and the fact that you cant catch up with people that start played earlier than you do is just dumb)

1. LOTRO - Literally played for one day.

2. Horizons - They actually renamed it, "Istaria: Chronicles of the Gifted" haha!

3. AC 2 - An insult to AC fans everywhere.

4. Lineage II - If I want a grind fest, there are plenty of free ones, thanks.

5. Final Fantasy XI - Grind Fest EQ style. I quit at level 13

 

Honorable mention: WoW

"Congratulations, you are now level 70! Now that you are done grinding quests for XP, it's time to grind them for GOLD! Yay! Oh and by the way, you'll need to raid three times a week, grind PvP for days, grind arena for days, grind faction for a Netherdrake, grind faction for crafting, grind monsters for crafting, all just to even begin to compete with the people who play this game for 50+ hours a week. You better get to work, yes work!"

1 aoc (nice lil beta, got my first bug even before getting into the game)

2 Anarchy online the game feels like a big mess thats not very good to looks at.

3 swg post jedis for everyone

4 rubies of the eventide (nice attempt at making a good mmo, just cant comapare with real mmos)

5 flyff (cash shop+ grind a lot + cartoon art = not my kind of stuff)

There can be only one.

7/24/08 6:53:32 AM#8

1) AoC, gets my top spot because I felt mislead.

2) SWG, after the whole Jedi mess

3) Vanguard, I haven't played it over a year so my opinion might change if I were to pick it up today.

4) Pirates of the Burning Sea, massive dissapointment

5) Don't have a 5th one....but if I had to choose a game I wasn't apart of I would have to go with Matrix Online. Game looked like crap.

 

*Should mention that both Pirates and Vanguard are games I might try again in the future. Both I think needed a bit more time in development. AOC on the other hand can die a horrible death.

Any government large enough to guarantee your freedom, is capable of taking it away.

The federal government gets its powers from the individual states, according to the Constitution. Yet the feds act as if they are the source of all power and control. They are wrong.

But until 'We the People' begin to realize it, and demand REAL change to the ongoing degrading Change from this administration, we are doomed to suffer at the hands of our own elected and appointed officials. - Christianptriot

Vanguard was on the list until I tried it again. It runs well, plays well, and is well worth a second look.

So many to choose from....can I take more then 5? I will anyway.

  • Dungeons and Dragons Online - pure anti MMO garbage
  • RF Online - WTF was that?
  • Everquest - who plays this pointless sadomasochisic junk and more importantly, why?
  • Everquest 2 - ug, more ugly, repetitive, pointless to play trash
  • Face of Mankind - dead and gone, to bad so sad
  • Fury - is this sh*t even still running?
  • Istaria (Horizons) - the cockroach of MMO's. I would bet money that after a full nuclear exchange, it would still be running. Istaria is the future "Skynet" and will take over the world one day.
  • Pirates of the Burning Seas - Ship burned, sank and sharks ate it.
  • Tabula Rasa - Richard...WTF were you thinking? That was pathetic.
  • Hellgate - a singleplayer game trying to pass itself off as an MMO.
  • SWG - this game was a TURD from DAY 1!
  • Vanguard at launch - what a mess
  • Almost every free to play I have ever tried out of boredom (except for Spacecowboy, I liked that one)

I have not tried AoC yet and I doubt I ever will, everything I have read indicates to me it would rack up on my list so why bother.

Games, above all else, are about fun. MMORPG's are no different. If you are not having fun, find something else to do with your time and money and stop your bitchin.

I haven't even played 5 games. You people have too much time and money on your hands. Wish I did. I've played 3 MMORPGs and I have to rate RF Online as the worst experience. It was so bad, it kept me from trying other MMOs and sticking with the familiar. I didn't want to throw another $50+ down the drain. I got RF Online at full price, lost the box for a year, installed it when the price dropped to $20 then charged an extra month's subscription because Codemaster's website didn't accept my cancelation notice.

I came to this site to find a game that would appeal to me. So far I haven't found much. Not that it matters. I still don't have the extra time to get involved in a new game.
