Absolute Worste MMO Experience

Gamewize

I'd like to know what everyone worste experience in an MMO was, like being robbed blind, or otherwise going into a coma over something or another.

Hands down my worst experience ever was having my game changed drastically not once but twice within 6 months.

I'm looking at you SOE

But yes the SWG "upgrades" sucked as well ... but still playing WoW is number 1.

MajorBiggs

I'd have to say EVE.

Uninstalled it after the first day.

The way SOE and LA treated SWG and it's community. Started off as such a nice ommunity, slowly turned into bitter haters and it was no longer a nice place to be.

 

Alot of people left after JTLS anyways, cause it was sooo crap.

Just looking at Wow.... eughghg...

Having my account "Temporarily suspended" until I pre-pay to play what I have already payed for, when I never wanted to pay again, after what i just payed for bored and disgusted me.

All they want is pay, pay, pay, and then you pay for paying.

I had just reached 50 in DAoC, which took me 6 months. I admit I moved at a slow pace, and probably would've taken the normal person 3 months. Anyways, one month later they introduce ToA, which absolutely sucked, and I cancelled the very first day ToA was out.

Realizing, after one week straight of 22 hours a day of WoW (parents went on vacation), what a waste of life the last six months have been. I have sworn to not play the same game for more than 3 hours a day now.

SWG CU - #1

WOW's so called "PVP" - #2

We've got some good ones, keep em coming!.

My personal worst experience is actually deciding to pay for Lineage 2, I don't know what I was thinking... that the armor looked cool I guess...

Zerocyde

In shadowbane, bout a year ago. Our nation took up the entire ice island. We were feared. I would be sneaking around people, and hear them say things like. "Crap its a thief from that ice nation on track!" Life was good. Then the the asians moved in. They came in numbers unheard of. And when they baned us, a few of our previously thought of as allies, JOINED them against us for fear of losing their own towns. And in the end we were left with nothing but a new definition of the word zerg.



The nation was never the same after that. A few tried to stick together and start a new town, but they joined their town with a shitty nation, and the rest of us were spread out in other towns. We never got back together in full again. But it was fun while it lasted.

Realising how crappy Anarchy Online´s grind was and that I never will see one of my guildmates because I didnt pay for the expansions...

outfctrl

I'll say Vanguard now.  Way to buggy and laggy.

matraque

WoW.



got it a year after release... could not get on my server (argent dawn) to play with my guildmates...



Deleted it a couple days later.

Signe

I snarfed up one of those freebie DnL SoG thingys.  I was shocked at how terrible it was after all the hype I had heard.  It wasn't a bit like what they claimed it would be.  Oh well... at least I wasn't one of the poor old sods who paid for the displeasure.

methulah

Just after Planes of Power came out for EverQuest when I realised the spark that had been a part of the game had gone forever, and all I was doing now was running around PoK fairly aimlessly.



Killed a damn good game for me.

1)  EVE:  I thought it was pretty cool until I started looking at the big picture of what it would take to get anywhere in it.  I didn't like the skilling system of juggling seemingly infinate timers.  I wasn't all that crazy that I couldn't walk around out of my ship either.  Perhaps if they had spaceports you could walk around and mingle in it would have been a better experience.  EVE was just wayyyy to repetitive and you pretty much have to give your soul for probably (I'm guessing here) 6 months to even become competitive in the least.

2)  tie DDO/GW: another game I liked at first but it felt like I was playing alone.  I barely saw anyone and when I did they weren't very receptive to grouping.  I guess DDO was a bigger let down than GW because jesh D&D is the great greatgrandaddy of all RPG.  I still rate it a tie because it was a similar gaming experience.

3)Ryzom: so many people said how great this game was I tried it not once but twice.  I couldn't get into wandering around in a world of green surrounded by bugs.  I didn't care for the character models a whole lot especially the trykers (sp)  I was frustrated by the combat system too.  I skilled melee and magic equally.  I would grind xp on mobs and I'd be beating one after another up but every once in a while it resist several casts ina row and I'd get my ass handed to me.  I'd pull out my sword and resume grinding the same mobs and I'd shred through them like butter.  I can't say it was my worst experience in a game but I just couldn't get into it.

I'm gonna have to go with Lineage 2 followed very close with SWG post CU. Playing City of Villains until Lord of the Rings is released.

Axefall

DDO for me. 

Lukain

Kiting Dwarfs around Butcherblock in EQ1 & dying  over & over due to Lag or Game crashes

EvilButt

Having someone turn traitor on a guild in shadowbane and deleting the main city after successfully fighting off a major seige.  Things like that really killed that game, and just kind of ruin the experience for everyone.

2nd worst would be the hours spent pressing the spacebar key and jumping around waiting and waiting for afkers/strategy discussion/whatever during 6 hour raid runs in WoW, thank god for BC.

Bhazrak

Dark and Light's beta. Never bothered to play it again after what I saw they 'claimed' to have. 

Musket-Squid

At the way Turbine put out an Xpac for AC2 and the cancles the game a month later. They also kept selling the Xpac in stores even though they had already stated they were cancleing the games. Im not sure if you can top that for a worst mmo expierence or not. Might be under worst support i guess.
