GameDaily break's down reasons why it's time to give that level 70 Night Elf a rest and start over with a new game and a clean slate.
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.
GamesRadar - You probably think online worlds shut down because no one's playing. Actually that's rarely true. Often, when servers finally wink out, there's a thriving community patiently waiting for the end and making sad faces at the sky. Most recently it was PlayStation Home, a game that no-one apparently played but which still managed to have millions of inhabitants waiting out their own personal apocalypse on the last day.
MMO-Play gathered a list of the most disappointing MMO's in the history of gaming.
In MMO market, quality doesn't mean much these days. Look at Guild Wars, it's a great game, has lots of better elements than WoW and is also free of monthly charges. Yet, WoW ends up with 9 million users that pay mney each month...
I have played almost all MMOs out there and still have accounts in a few (WoW, AO, GW). Now out of nowhere I am LOVING Tabula Rasa. I usually dont care a ton for sci-fi mmos, but this is something very different. Its a strange mish-mash of WoW, Mass Effect and Gears of War (i kid you not).
There are bugs that will annoy the crap outta you, some mobs are a total pain (snipers), but the amazing feel of unloading a 100 round clip of bullets into a mob and watching it dance while your xp is on fire at x250% (for multi-kills) and then using a finishing blow to kick the mob in 1/2 and getting double xp for that, is well.... unrivaled.
and on.. and on...
The big draw behind WoW is it's accessibility. Anyone with any computer can run it. Anyone with any game skill can play it. It's not going to be dethroned for a long long time.
Tabular Rasa won't beat WoW.
WoW when I first time started it was really really interesting and kept me playing. Mood was just perfect and gameplay really smooth.
Tabula Rasa... right from the start it felt boring for some reason. I did not even want to talk to the NPCs. I waited so much more, it was (to me) huge disappointment. It did not even look that good what I thought it will. Maybe I should have given it a chance, but .. well it did not work for me, I knew it instantly.
I really do wish that the WoW killer comes soon, WoW is getting boring too after 3 years.
WoW is great and all but Therr will be a New King Someday just what and when idk,
mabey New FF MMO? last one was fun just too much err JP~ish~Not~so~NA~friendly~ish
But owells if its Fun what eles maters?
