Mythic's Mark Jacobs, developer of Warhammer Online, has written a "State of the Game" letter to the community on the official Warhammer site, listing the company's achievements with the game, problems they have yet to overcome and upcoming projects.
He starts off his letter by saying that the last six months have been very hectic for Mythic, but quickly goes on to say that the recent Patch 1.2 and the upcoming 1.3 will represent possibly the largest amount of new content and changes to an MMO ever over a few months, a brave claim indeed.
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.
MMO-Play gathered a list of the most disappointing MMO's in the history of gaming.
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."
I think the game hasn't done as well as expected, but it will pick up. Even WoW took a while to build up it's popularity.
I am really glad they haven't died out yet. I don't even play WoW any more, and my WAR CE box stands unopened at home... Just don't have time, but I wouldn't mind if they DID become a good competitor against WoW...
It is odd that there is no mention of why they did it to their fans...
Let's hope it does the trick. It's always hard with patches
This content will hopefully assuage a few fears about WAR. It's not exactly unheard of for MMOs to close servers after the honeymoon period, when a lot of the players who just signed up to check it out head off. I reckon it's doing okay.
