You have got to be kidding me . There is almost no customization in this game, just like every asian game. You have a total of two races to choose from. Just a few classes to choose from, and a very small number of skills to choose from.

Yeah I agree with you there.. I kept expecting a big JK when I read that. Knight Online is good for a free game but I'd never pay for it. I am a woman and therefore like playing female characters but OMG I only had 3 hairstyles to choose from and the third looked like a hackjob from hell. Not only that but only 4 faces to choose from and only 2 of those that didn't look like an inbred abomination. and graphics?? don't get me started! I've seen soo many games with 10 x better graphics and I have mine turned all the way up!

I agree and keep this in mind too, many times a game is made buy novice game makers and it may not be up to speed with the best games out there but the guys making it learn lessons while making it.
In addition, many games are risky ventures into the unknown and will have severe growing pains. Sometimes the game's future depends as much on the gamer having vision as it does the game developer.
WWIIOL and a few other games are a prime example. The game sucked horribly at release and did so for quite some time but now is finally really coming into it's own. It did so as much because the DEVS never gave up on the game but also because thousands of gamers had enough vision to see the potential of the game and basically fund it's development.
However, we are in a different boat than many of you. There is only one virtual battlefield as it stands now. If WWIIOL were to fail there would be no game to take it's place for decades most likely. Someone had to learn all the lessons on how to make a war game work on such a grand scale.
I can see how for many of you it is easy to simply walk away from a game that is not living up to it's potential. There are so many EQ type games out there of varying degres of content, eye candy, stability, etc... If one isn't working for you, you just drop it and move on to the next game.
I think you can see why the wargamers who supported WWIIOL through the dark years did so. THere was nothing like it even on the drawing boards. It takes years to develope a game like these MMPOLG's. IT takes minimum 2-5 years from concept to release depending on the uniqueness of the design.
For those that don't know, the Department of Defense has partnered 3 companies, AT&T Govermnet Solutions, Playnet Inc. and Applied Minds, to create the most realistic battlefield simulator for training and planning and rehearsing battles ever made.
I agree with the guy above, I like the Devs who push the envelope. CRS did it with WWIIOL and the guys with DnL are doing it with their game. To me, as a gamer, that is exciting.
LOL!!! of course i was jokeing..jeez , After i downloaded knight online i played it for a bit over an hour and was disgusted at how horrid it was , i was angry i wasted the time to download it lol. I cant belive you guys thought i was serious

yeah PvP is realy balanced in AO mwahahaha and u r stupid enough to think that Sonny is bad my TV and monitor are from Sonny...i always invest my money in Sonny stuff coz i love SOE ...and im the biggest fanboy
haha what gonna happen if funcom will try to make monitors ???? will u get one from Funcom?
SWG is a plastic back floating in the wind and you are the A.D.D ridden kid looking at it. It looks great and pretty but then you realize that you are just a freaky A.D.D. ridden kid looking at a plastic bag floating in the wind and not looking out for the truck that is about to hit you. In short, SWG looks cool, especially if you love star wars, but in the end, the star wars theme is just keeping you playing it, dispite the bugs and glitches and lag that plagues it.

KotoR II > KotoR I. That being said, SWG takes my fondest childhood memories of Star Wars, kills them, buries them in a shallow grave, digs up the remains, and then sodomizes them. SWG is to Star Wars, what Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law is to the old Hanna Barbarra cartoons. Except Harvey Birdman is actually funny, clever, what have you. While SWG is just more of the same thing that Ep I and II were.
As for WoW, you all hate it, you'd sonner slit your wrists than even see the box on the shelf. We get it. Get over yourself, please. They said from the beginning they weren't try to make some groundbreaking revolutionary MMO, just EQ without all the suck, set in the WC world. So far, I'd say they succeeded in their stated goal. Kudos to them. I imagine it will bring a helping of new blood to the community simply on name recognition alone.
id definately have to say horizons, hands down. I mean the only way i cold play it was if i was stoned, or had a giant axe halfway implanted into my skull... needless to say I wouldnt be at the top of my game.
First off, the graphics, some of the items and stuff just looked horrible. Combat is the the worst of any mmo out there. Hell it took my character longer to get to the monster and attack, since it slowly kept walking away and my character would run up to it to attack, it went out of range, run up to it... out of range..run up to it.... 2 minutes later it stops and i can attack if i can get it before it starts again.
Second the crafting, im referring the "new crafting" or whatever. i did the tutorial(every single class) and all then played for like 5 hours after it. It just was boring and poorly constructed, even DAoC has better.
Finally the CS, i mean i wanted to cancel my account and i had to call them up to cancel, but the thing is i never once spoke to a living being... so what was the point of calling? wouldnt just a website to cancel be fine? ... god
Second worst mmo is Definately AO
Im sorry but i have to say it, i mean i couldnt stand it, especially the range from duel swords on a adventurer.. also the horrendous never ended lag in shadowlands. I mean... take 10 steps get teleported back repeat 10 times. With cable internet. (it wasnt my internet either, my friend was having the same problem, we were making characters together).
3rd worst would definately without a doubt be city of heroes.
I had more fun making costumes then i did actually playing the characters. I played for like 5 days and im like this is shit.
and i just have to say this one
LINEAGE 2 SUCKS!!! its not near my bottom 3 its like in the middle.... but omg... played for a week or 2 got to level 20 something i dont remember (i was really into it) then i just never played again. I gave my account to a friend with 3 months of time remaining.
Horizons isnt a Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game, its a Mini Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Crap (MMORPC, got it ?)
AO...............Do i have to repeat this everytime? Do NOT play in Shadowlands..............Shadowlands is camping, lag and more camping . If you wanna enjoy AO, play on Rubi-Ka.
L2..................I hate it with all my soul, the economy is horrible, bad character customization and you have to kill the same creature 1 million times (remembers me EverCrap, but this is worse), and almost everyone is PK people on sight, even newbies
What other games let you build a cool character like the one in my Avatar? Only AO does
Oh wait let me pull out my Enchanted Omni-Tek Shoulderpads.. Mwahahaha!
Ok lets get serious here.
Worst MMO I played, I would have to say Priston Tale or any other game made by Koreans.. Play a Korean game then switch to a USA/European game, even if it's SWG/Horizons, or whatever you hate, you will be in heaven!
EDIT: I have to admit Ragnarok Online was pretty cool, at least for me.
Oh hell I don't even count Sims Online as an MMORPG. I played it for like 2 days and got fed up with it.. like every person I ran across was some guy typing one handed begging me to hop in the heart bed and talk dirty! it was rediculous!
Asheron's Call 2 is far and away the absolute worst MMORPG ever conceived. Asheron's Call 1 is a very good game so it's hard to beleive that the same people had anything to do with the sequel.

Crock, dude, u r stupid enough insulting Anarchy Online, get away SOE fanboy...BoOooOOoooooOoOOo.........SOE SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh BTW why is SWG better than AO? SWG has unbalanced PvP, poor community, and the worst customer service ever ( c´mon, its SOE)

Or maybe, you prefer SWG cuz youve been playing AO all your life.
But lets face it, if you play both of them (as a n00b) youll find AO better than Galaxies (even if u r a hardcore) . But well its your opinion.
Crock, dont be silly, Sony is a great brand, but SOE sux, y´know what im saying?

Yup.

Play KoTOR instead, its the best SW game ever

For me Horizons had a lot of potential, just a crappy engine. I have a decent system and a 9700 pro with 1gb of pc2700 and it ran like crap.
I really wanted to play that game for the long haul too. At least that's what I said when I bought it.
FFXI was my next least favorite.
