What was your biggest MMO disappointment?

I'd have to go with GW2. It was so promising but the lack of skills, mixing classes, no rewards after level 80, and pseudo action combat really wasn't what I thought it was gonna be. No sub so worth the purchase but it felt very average.

    Tabula Rasa.  After years of nothing but fantasy MMOs.  I was really looking forward to a sci fi flavor.

    Age of Conan for me. I really thought the game was gonna be the most epic thing to come out in years and it failed so miserably.

    The switch from SWG to SWG-NGE. What the hell were they thinking! For me a game at release that I was very disappointed with was LOTRO. While I think it is a good game and I played on and off for years, it was not the sandbox that I hoped it could be. I really would love a LOTR sandbox game in the way SWG was. I want to live in the Shire and be a gardener!

    Neverwinter with DDO following closely, being a D&D fan I have a special heart for D&D MMOs.  Now I've given up hope for any sort of true D&D MMO.  Wish they would come out with some great D&D single player games again but might have to settle on kickstarter games like Project Eternity and Torment.  While they are likely to be great games they are still not D&D in the D&D universe.

    I never got my hopes up for any MMO in particular apart from GW2, but I was expecting a lot more from TERA.  I was actually a TERA fan... until I played it.

    So many MMO disappointments. Biggest one is difficult. Probably SWTOR. Not so much for what it is but for what it could have been. A great IP wasted, unfortunately.

    They are both ok games but not what they could be. D&D could make such an awesome mmo but never really realized in DDO and Neverwinter.

    The shutdown of CoX.

    Hadn't played it in a good long time, but I will definitely always miss it. Up yours, NCSoft.

    Much like LOTRO I have mixed feelings about SWTOR. It is a good game for what it is. Like many I knew what SWTOR would be but I wanted it more like SWG. SWTOR as an open world sandbox mmo would be great.

    SWTOR beyond a a doubt for me, never again Bioware

    SW:TOR

     

    It made the most obvious of rookie mistakes it was sickening. It was honestly like they didn't do one second of homework on the history of MMOs and obvious mistakes that had been made in the past.

    1. M$ stopping development of mythica

    2. istaria (horizons) leaving idea of world progression based on players actions (players as a whole, not a single person)

    WoW Wotlk And every game since has been equally detrimental to the health of my brain cells. In fact it may be getting worse over time.

    Hmmmm tough one cause there are so many, Aion disappointed me a lot cause of all the hype I was expecting a much better game. Any game that builds big hype ends up disappointing.

    Agreed, Vanguard could have been such a great game. I really like Asheron's Call 2 however one Friday night during primetime play of about 4 hours I never saw another player or any chat. I was so lonely and never logged in again. This thread is getting me depressed but it is interesting.

    Hard to say... probably SWTOR, I followed the game for 3 years and thought it would be something special at the time.

    I'm done with MMO's at least for a while.

    I played WOW everyday for about 6 years then I took an almost 2 year break and decided to come back. I am approaching it almost as a first time experience and I am really having fun. I am not judging it on what it was or the changes just playing what is there.

    SWTOR-Everything

    After those 3 disappointments my world view changed lol.

    Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

    Five is right out.
