The MMOsThat Had It Worst in 2017 - The List - MMORPG.com
The MMO genre is filled with bad games, mediocre games, and games we’re all surprised manage to keep on running. This list is not for them, because well... we’d be here all day. Instead, we’re listing out five MMOs that had a really bad or disappointing year. Some were closed, some failed to live up to hype, and others just kind of lingered on like a shambling corpse waiting for judgment day. Here then are our MMOs that had it worst in 2017.

Its too bad, as its not a bad game. It does have fun elements, but it tries to be too many things, to too many people. Not to mention the earlier "hard core" focus, in an age of casuals...

I'd imagine if Carbine's next project doesn't do well, W* and the new project will both go down.
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
My Review Manifesto
Follow me on Twitter if you dare.
If SOA would just become a single player RPG it may have chance to survive, but its took to long and development outlasted the hype.
Garriot more or less created the computer RPG genre so I think legend is the perfect word to describe him.
He have indeed not made anything good lately though and computer RPGs have moved far from when he last made something really good so I wont give him any good odds on a new game. However, he is talented so nothing is impossible, people have made comebacks before.
Right now a few legends are making crowdfunded games but to me it seems like Pantheon is the one that have best potential of being a fun MMO. Heck, I am happy if one of the games becomes good, be that SotA, CU , Pantheon or something else.
I was going to go with "more mythical than legendary", but relic works too, I suppose.
I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
Regardless of what Carbine is trying to do, the main issue is that the mmo genre is already oversaturated regardless what sub genre they try to tactic. When you wrote that response, I was thinking they could've pulled a Hi-Rez and just go from the MMO scene to maybe the moba scene or something and find success, but with so many things coming out in 2018 alone plus some titles still doing alright from previous years, there just might not be room, especially since WS was just a clone with little innovation behind it.
Feels like it may not see another 6 months-year which is the main reason I don't play it anymore.
Maybe adding it to Steam could help? At this point even if it gets negative reviews it would still probably gain a few players.
IMO the Blizzard model does not work,only for Blizzard so why so many keep making similar looking games is beyond me.
There is a supposed AAA game being worked on by Carbine,how much you bet it will look cartoony..cheap...low end graphics.
As to Tabula Rasa,well NCSOFT supposedly forced that out way too fast before it was ready.NCSOFT is in charge so Carbine will often just be the puppet.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Anyway, SoTA is trash.
Wildstar I played beta, at launch and still return from time to time but still can't get into. It's so much like WoW, I think I should just play that.

In an age of gamers taking things way too seriously and not having fun anymore in the games they play, wildstar is a breath of fresh air with the hilarious humor it has. Not to mention the over the top cartoony graphics.
But I couldn't get into Wildstar. I loved the humor, graphics and it was pretty fun. But, I'd rather play ESO and BDO so it just couldn't beat out those two for me.

limited skills doesnt help , cartoony or humor i dont care , but the whole game lacks still today polish...
Marvel heroes will be missed
SoTa is one of the worst "alpha" games that i have played , the combat is horrible.
Albion failed flat on its own "hype-face".
devillian had no updates , and reveltation was a auto-play mmorpg
I gave it a second chance, it still sucks. Next excuse?
It reminds me very much of FF14 before it got rebooted.
Yep, it's a turd. Nothing can overcome terrible combat in a game.
