The 5 worst MMORPG titles

Gaming Irresponsibly's Frank Moricz writes: "Some would argue about the order and titles on this list. As a preface, I'll say that the list here comes from my own experience, and has little to do with sales numbers or any hard facts. Below are the titles that I feel deserve to be in the hall of MMO fail."

You missed FFXIV! That one made me sad.

[Troll-without-Bridge]

FFXIV is a bad game by expectations and comparison. But its not a bad game on its own... ive played much worser MMO's. FFXIV has lots of things that brings enjoyment and fun.

Dont you just love how all these mmorpgs feature half naked women so as to attract horny little kids to play the game? ON top of that the ones that take it over the top are the worst of the bunch.

silliness I say...

#5 Tabula Rosa
#4 Age of Conan
#3 SWG
#2 Warhammer Online <<<< How the hell did he miss this monstrosity

#1 Vanguard Saga of Heroes A great game that was destroyed by shotty development and a broken launch.

Vanguard destroyed by a shoddy development and broken launch sure, but this list isn't "the 5 worst mmorpg launches". The game has come a long way since then, if it launched in the state it's in now it'd be a different story.

Might want to get the actual title of the article right next time you make a submission.

[susanto1228]

IF FFXIV doesn't get fixed soon it will soon overtake Vanguard as my #1 Worst MMO in History...I quit playing it like 2 weeks ago, a disappointment, a failure, just an outright mess that game is right now with only the Hardcore Fanboy FF fans sticking around right now, it's just a MESS!!!!!

[agentxk]

I bought it at launch and honestly, I played F2Ps better than that one.

[wollie]

how did he not add APB?

[Panthers]

He probably never played it. The game was shut down too fast for most people to try ti.

[SlickShoes]

This guy is an idiot.

While none of the games are amazing, to list them as the worst ever is just dumb. Ofcourse he is entitled to his opinion but the article is a shallow as you can get. From what he has said about each game you can tell he has either played a few hours of each one at the MOST or just read the internet to decide what was wrong with them.

It sounds like he didnt make it out of the starter area in any of these games.

I could easily go the immature route and insult you back. You are, however, entitled to your opinion as I am entitled to mine. Read over the intro to the article where I mention that you should make your own list if you disagree. These are the 5 worst based on my own experience. If you are worried about time investment, I have to ask: If you think a game is terrible would you continue to play it?

[Baka-akaB]

just saying you need to expand your experience then and only make such list with at least more titles under your belt .

The mmo world is filled with much much worse experiences . You just gave a convenient list of obvious commercial flops minus FF14 and APB.

Again go try stuff like Dark and Light and dare tell us with a straight face that titles like vanguard or AOC (games that i immensely dislike mind you) are the worst you can think of ...

[lucifon]

Dumb list

[Baka-akaB]

None of those are the worst mmos .

You just need a quick like at the so called f2p mmos , and many sub based korean grindfests

That list was a failure the moment it even missed horrible stuff like Dark and light .

All of the mentioned titles got a few qualities , hell half of them are at least pretty to look at .

Stuff like Dark and light are both ugly and crappy

[blitz0x]

The article is based off of my own personal experience, not off of sales numbers or anything. Unfortunately, I haven't played every game out there.

It isn't a "worst of all-time" list. :)

[Baka-akaB]

well you could have reflected that in the submitted title , wich isnt the same than the original .

All of you guys keep pulling that kind of stunt , then act innocent or even dumbfounded . Some even "but read the article not just the title"

[bozebo]

APB?

The hitboxes didn't even scale with character size or orientate with animations. If they couldn't even get that right then I guess that explains the root of all the other problems in the game.

[Finger-Eater]

I heard Runescape is a pretty horrible mmorpg.
