So what kind of grind are you talking about? If its a party mob grind like FFXI i might be interested

Um AIon should be removed from that list  as it won't be out till next year sometime. And you might want to actually try playing  before judging it. Beta footage is nothing to be used for judging the worthiness of the game.  Right now for all we know it could be an excellent game or crap won't know till it actually comes out.. Having actually played it some, I am going to lean more towards excellent game side of things, but will be reserving final judgement for the final product next year.

Pretty much everything but EVE is a disapointment, all others listed are pretty much the same thing with different skins, mostly all nub games for noob gamers .

For me AoC since that was the 3rd mmo i actually followed hardcore(the other 2 being COH and FF11)  from the many that ive played. Im not saying AoC is a bad game I just wish they would of watied  around the end of this year or before Q2 of 09 so they could of had the PVP and DX10 in like they PROMISED they would

and  but IMO Tabula Rasas failed cause FPS players dont want to play to play an FPS,  they can do it for free with 10 different new games out

Biggest disappointment 2008 ?

Well... 2008

This year was armageddon for MMO games. Year that all the hopes from last crappy years focused on, and than exoloded in big stinky pile of crap.

And what was left  inside ? A small undigested nugget called WoTLK

good friggin riddance , see you 2012 - when next AA MMO commes out

AOC gets the nod followed by WAR. 2008 was the year of hype and nothing more. Maybe 2009 will offer some hope ? 

WAR was the biggest disappointment for me.

Warhammer hands down... I hope they fix it, but I don't expect too much tbh...

M

WOW, hands down because if that noob game didn't get so many idiots to play it then none of these other companies would have designed their games to be almost direct copies of a lot of it.

I don't know about anybody else but IMO mindless questing has to be the worst thing ever brought to MMO's, especially when thats the only fast way to xp. So much for grouping and roaming to find cool stuff to kill. Don't get me wrong, I don't like forced grouping but it is fun to go do stuff with a group while leveling which is hard to do for more than a few minutes in WOW.

Oh, and instanced PVP blows donkey dick.

so was 2007

Definitely  Warhammer for me!

Im ready to spend years in this game but meh! Love the starting area! Love the PQ idea! But the rest of the PVE and BGs grind is just BORING..............

I think Another World game (www.awplanet.com) did pretty bad this year. I've been leveling my characters for 3 years in that game and the game looks like going to die any time soon.

Epic fail of the most incomprehensible and unfathomable proportions.

Spellborn for me, it gets the bad server / distribution WTF? award.

Spellborn for me as soon as they hooked up with acclaim i knew it was done before it started.

Voted for WAR. And its sure is the biggest dissapointment, waited for it for years and years and turned out to be just so... Not good..

AoC with the complete lack of PvP competitive siege combat....all the above disapointments for AoC.

WAR is another complete disappointment.  For the same reasons I'm not playing WoW, my god,how can they call themselves a mmorpg according to progressive standards (well, who can) with such a lack of PvP breadth and depth. Before my eyes started to bleed and my mind went numb from playing the same scenarios over and over and over and over again, I left.

I'd go with AoC for biggest dissipointment. Huge difference between what funcom said was in the game vrs. what actually was. The fanboy hype train probably didn't help much either.

It ain't worse than Mythic who hooked up with GOA again. That is my biggest dissapointment, damn it MJ, you should know better.
