This is the thread of the MMOs that could have been. Some MMOs out on the market had great potentials, they promised great mechanics, fluid combat, great graphics, ect. But then you log in and just notice the game fell flat on their face and never recover years later because the developers just don't seem to care. The games that make you say "This game could have been a lot of fun if the developers decided to save it." What MMO do you believe had the most potential but failed in execution?

I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
I agree.
Yep, agreed. Warhammer Online had everything going for it. Awesome IP, big budget team. But they botched it and created some weird PvP WoW clone.

Maybe it is is great, but not to the lunatic fringe?
swtor for theampark mmos.
awesome story driven mmo from 1-50 then it was like walking off a cliff.
WAR for rvr/pvp mmos.
The numbers say otherwise...just sayin
Aion
the abyss idea was great
being able to jump a rift to the enemy's side of the planet and gank.
Wings where you could fly.
Tons of classes.
But man... that game was just awful. All the botting, gold selling spam. Dungeons almost never dropped loot, and the quests were just awful.
Also gw2.
They made everything sound so amazing in innovative, but it was just a casual crap shoot of boredom and dullness. with dull combat and way too much story content that was not very interesting.
Also their "dynamic event" system that they crammed down everyones throat was just more of the same "chore questing" with a little twist of randomness.
The way mmo's were: Community, Exploration, Character Development, Conquest.
The way mmo's are now : Cut-Scenes,Cut-Scenes, solo Questing, Cut-Scenes...

Yeah I was hugely dissapointed with the dynamic events. Thought they would be something spectacular but instead turned out to be like your standard quests, going around in circles with no lasting effect on the world.

I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
