    Vanguard was the game that should've been great, but never really got there.....FOr some reason it always ran poorly on my rig, no matter which PC I used.

    You know, I hadn't actually considered that one because it isn't what I'd traditionally consider a MMO. But I do miss it. Hoping MUA3 will fill that void.

    Let’s be real, a huge portion of the Star Wars “fanbase” has been jaded since the first prequel movie.

    Tabula Rasa for sure. It had so much potential and i had great fun in it while it was alive.

    Vanguard is the only one. Only played for about a month before it shut down, going thru the starter island and beyond it was obvious Sony didn't have a fecking clue how to run a F2P game, but then hit the real world and regret not being able to spend time getting to explore that world before it shut down.

    To think we have to make do with hollow shells like Bless, Revelation and Black Desert (graphics aside) just shows how much the genre has declined quality wise.

    Well, that would be

    Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

    Played it for seven years. Had all six crafter classes near level 50. Had two accounts with maximum number of slots. Had so many more plans. Had so many more characters.

    Ever since I'm MMO-homeless :'(

    For me it's Asheron's Call 2

    I started MMOs in a game that was a bridge between the old school and newer....flashier....

    Well now that bridge has been cut out from under me.

    I left my reminder on my avatar and signature for the grief is still to near.

    I play other MMOs time from time but I'm mostly playing single player games now.

    To think, I started playing it on a whim to try a Turbine game as the upcoming Lord of the Rings Online held my interest back then.

    Perhaps it's best I'm really too busy in real life to play MMOs.

    My hope from the destruction of my homeland is for fantasy MMOs to have more diversity instead of pigeon holding into elves (yuck!) and orcs. (dwarves are excellent though :) )

    All the games that I was sad to see go, had actually changed before shutting down and had already lost what made them special. COH, Loved it before COV, not after. SWG.....yeah, that game "shut down" (for me) after NGE. Many games I enjoyed have been closed, however, none closed at the point where I was still enjoying them.

    I'll cry when LOTRO closes.

    Misting up just thinking about it.

    Gut Out!

    What, me worry?

    For me Asherons Call, it was like a part of me was ripped out when they shut it down. i had played and subed to that game since 1999.

    SWG. I never got to play it. If they ever shut EQ down, I will miss my annual jaunts through Antonica and Kunark

    Same, and I loved the graphics and the silly humour too.


    If you are a Star Wars fan, why not try the Star Wars The Old Republic?

    The orginal Horizon that never was.  The game that came out was nothing like it was supposed to be.  Birth the jaded and skeptical of any game with tons of promises.

    SWG we told the devs sent in a petition with over 1 mill sigs they would not listen. Now they are gone.
    Yup! By far one of the most wasted IP's. Was a great game (it did need some love, no argument) that was wasted by "fixing" it to death. Such a shame, we will probably not see that IP realized in that way again. Truly sad.

    If you want a new idea, go read an old book.

    In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
