WAR > SWTOR if only because WAR actually had some ambition.


But by the same token WAR was the more disappointing game. I knew SWTOR was basically going to be a derivative meh MMO once you got through the single player bits. I was hoping WAR would actualyl be a good game.

What? SWTOR spent 100 million $$$ on voice-acting alone, now THATs ambition

lets recap the FFXI launch.


* two weeks before US launch, they killed the US servers, and told us we would play on existing asian servers.

* existing players rape the market and inflate everything needed to level tradeskills

* gil sellers jacked prices through the roof, and you needed to buy gil because you couldn't earn enough to buy stuff

* poisons that never wear off, and eventually kill you, unless you find someone to cure you

* when you die, you lose exp and can lose a level

* many key abilities required synchronizing with other players moves, which is difficult when they don't speak your language


that game made Trials of Atlantis a dream to play, which was released on the same day.

I think I have dodged every game mentioned as disappointing with the exception of Warhammer, and I enjoyed the first 30 levels very much.
I would still be playing WAR if its end game wasn't a horrible lagfest of unmitigated disaster.

Star Wars Galaxies probably turned into the biggest disappointment after a year or so.

It was fun while it lasted, though.

AC was good. AC2 sucked at launch and was the best MMOG I ever played shortly after everyone quit.

6vs6 Eternal Citadel is probably closest thing to DAOCs 8vs8

Open world RVR, though, was so dumbed down, in micro size areas, that it was laughable to
anyone that played DAOC NF. Pre-set positions for siege weaponry? Cmon, WHY would enemy
put those in front of their own keeps?

NOLF II. It was so short I returned it for full refund after beating it in two days, maybe 4 hours of playtime.

I would say DAoC but I was too smart to ever actually play it.

It was senior year in high school for me, we were in a playoff game in a do or die situation to go to district playoffs and I was supposed to pitch, but had only 2 days rest since my last start (which I won). Coach decided to go with my friend and the other lefty pitcher who promptly let up 3 runs and loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning. In I went and shut down the side, including picking a guy off at first base. I went on to pitch all but the last inning and threw 7 strike outs with only 2 walks and 2 hits and another pickoff at first. We lost the game 3-2 and our season, and my high school baseball career was over. Easily the most disappointing game for me.


Oh you mean computer games?

DAOC

Some MMORPG that had a minotaur on the cover of a grey box... around 7 years ago.

It was so not memorable that I don't remember it.

Srsly.
