Ultima Online: The Kingdom Reborn. This game takes all of the old graphics of UO, which were fantastic, and adds a horrible eastern look to them. Ultima Online needs to stick with it's 2d graphics.
Least Fun:
Vanguard: Saga of heroes - Have not played since release, an extremely dull and boring game.
Most Desolate:
Roma Victor - Never played it, but from the screenshots and videos, it looks so empty and fake.
Worst Use of Popular IP or License:
Never played any of the games off of other IPs.
Lamest Launch:
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
Most Likely to be Cancelled in 2008:
Darkfall - I want it to succeed, but it probably never will.
Biggest Stinker:
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes - This game had so many promises that just never happened. Probably one of the biggest stinkers in MMO history, right behind Dark and Light and right in front of Gods and Heroes.

Least Fun:Star Wars Galaxies - I keep trying it again & again hoping something has changed. Nothing has, just my amazement of how terrible this game is now.
Most Desolate:Vanguard - It's why I barely log on anymore.

Most Likely to be Cancelled in 2008:

Biggest Stinker:
Lord of the Rings Online (That's right I said it. Sue me...based on my opinions it leaves me empty.)
Biggest Vaporware:
Gods and heroes (My god does that one win)

I'd give that to Star Trek Online. That one has as much chance of happening with this current developer given their financial and legal problems, and just plain bad ideas as I have of having Jessica Alba deliver my personal copy of Duke Nukem Forever along with the news that I am the father of her baby.
