I have vague memories of quitting an MMO and thinking "That was the worst game I ever played". But I'll be damned if I can recall the title. Not that I'm exerting myself to do so.

I mean, yeah...I get it....your MMO tastes are so sophisticated and it's certainly cool to hate on WoW, but c'mon people...no way in hell that is the worst game you've ever played. lol. Read the OP. He's specifically talking about poorly made games with a lot of bugs. There are many things to dislike about WoW, but no way can anyone with a straight face say it's the WORST mmo they've ever played. At the very least, it's a damn well-made game. To this day I haven't seen a game constructed any better, despite its shortcomings in gameplay and philosophy. Okay, rant over. Commence with the ever-cool WoW basing. lol
I It's VERY easy for someone to say that WOW is the worse game they ever played especially if they are someone who was a fan of games like Ultima Online or Vanilla SWG. Not saying that's me by any means but I understand their POV.
It's actually even less forgivable for someone who started MMORPGs with UO or "Vanilla" SWG, because it means they have quite a bit of experience with those games. Therefore them saying Wow is the worst game ever is even more silly and shows only one thing - they have a personal, irrational hatred for that game, which doesn't have any realistic basis.
Rebel said it perfectly - it's popular to hate specific games on this forum, totally ignoring what really bad games are all about. WoW is one of those "popular to hate to be among the kewl guys" game.
So what if they only played UO and WoW.
If UO is their favorite, by default the worst MMO they ever played would be.... ? I will let you answer.
The guy emptying the trashcan in a NASA facility can also say he knows better than the scientists how to launch and control a space shuttle. That doesn't mean he's right, it just means he's ignorant and doesn't have sufficient information to make even just an educated guess.
The guy arguing about being right in an opinion thread... hmm.
That was my thought as well. If people were calling WOW a failure then you could say they were wrong since that is a statement that can be proven wrong with facts. But someone saying that it's the worse MMO they ever played? How can anyone say that a person is wrong with their likes and dislikes?
Quickest uninstall ever was DDO - was so hyped being and old growing up on dungeons and dragons table top.
second would be warhammer online - it was ugly, clunky, and not very fun on any level at launch.
last would be guild wars 2. I enjoyed my first 3 or 4 days playing it and then i hit thispoint where i felt like "that's it" . The abilities, weapon based, spells didn't feel right and you had zero character progression. It wasn't bad, just wasn't there for me in the long run.
definace is up there too, but i think that game could be good.

Exactly right.
In fact, let me restate MY likes and dislikes, that I have played
Worst MMO ever - UO
second worst MMO - EQ
best MMO - Diablo 3 .. not a true mmo, but close enough
second best - WoW
I would love to see if someone will try to tell how my PERSONAL preferences are wrong.

My opinion is that your personal preference is wrong!

(Well, you asked to see it)
hehehe . i bet you think i am wrong .. and cannot fathom how one would hate UO .. but i do.
That is the beauty of personal opinions. What you think is irrelevant.
- If a guy posts "WoW is the worst MMORPG ever", then I'm like "either you're full of it and just mindlessly bashing the game, or you never experienced a really bad game, with poor graphics, poor programming, poor animations, poor performance, etc...", and I stop taking anything that guy posts ever remotely seriously.
The thing is people define "worst" in different ways. I mean you could say Scarlet Blade or some crappy MMO is the worst MMO ever and have a point or some game that was so bug-laden it didn't even launch properly.
Thing is I can see from a mile away what Scarlet Blade is so have no temptation to ever put it on my computer and the buggy mess game probably doesn't effect people much either (unless you're unlucky enough to have bought a lifetime sub to it or something).
WoW on the other hand has drastically impacted the design direction of nearly all other MMOs. It is inescapable if you play MMOs even if you don't actually play it. If someone hates the design philosophies of WoW that have become ubiquitous in the genre I think it's totally reasonable to say WoW is the worst MMO ever simply based on the damage (in that person's opinion) it did to the genre as a whole.
* Most games with an ingame cash shop/ Free To Play were a huge disappointement and were often just plain bad. TFC2, which isnt even an mmorpg, is the only F2P game which did hold my interest for longer.
* All these "Asian Grinders" dont deliver in my opinion:
just some examples
Runes of Magic, 2Moon, Lineage 2, Last Chaos, Perfect World, Silkroad, AION, Rose, Granado Espada
These are just examples from older games, no idea what games are currently on the market in this genre I dont touch them anymore.
Originally posted by firefly2003 I guess after all these years trying out all the other WoW clones like Rift, Lord Of The Rings, TOR, and Everquest I guess I couldnt stand the original WoW
Neither Everquest was a clone.
EQ1 greatest MMO ever produced, not as good any more but still better than any game out right now.
Everquest2- never played but it is similar to WoW so I imagine it sucks... but it came out before WoW so it is not a clone.
I meant to say Everquest 2 to begin with at the time I wrote that I was falling asleep I hav e no qualms with EQ 1
Originally posted by Mystlynx Guild Wars 2, absolutely the worst MMO I ever wasted money on. I probably didn't put in more than 10 hours before I couldn't stomach that lame pile of trash.
You know I almost always forget about this game. I decided one day when I was bored to buy this game. I never logged off a game faster.
To make things worse I gave it a second chance and hated the game even more the second go around.

Heh. It's funny if I think about it.
I have vague memories of quitting an MMO and thinking "That was the worst game I ever played". But I'll be damned if I can recall the title. Not that I'm exerting myself to do so.

what was so horrible about UO ?
EQ2 fan sites
It's a two way tie... Eve Online- the most boring game ever and Vangaurd FtP, it took longer to install than I played
hehehe . i bet you think i am wrong .. and cannot fathom how one would hate UO .. but i do.
That is the beauty of personal opinions. What you think is irrelevant.
Bad combat, boring clicking on rocks to improve skills, lots of griefing, tank mage, housing ghetto ....
Those are my reasons to think that UO is the worse MMO i have played. Personally opinions, of course.

There's really a whole genre of asian grinders that all kind of string together and are more or less equally horrible.

Earthrise for sure! I hope I'm not confusing the game name with something else.
It was pure ripoff. The game was literally unplayable. You paid to suffer. It was insane.
I think I logged on the first 2 days, no more.
Vanilla WoW was the best, now its the worst !!!!
Neverwinter was bad too.
Biggest let down was FF14, they made a 30 day solo game with a dungeon finder.
