Best Shut Down MMOs of All Time - The List at MMORPG.com
It can be pretty heart wrenching, especially if you’re still firmly part of the community when it happens. Still, it’s fun to remember the good times, so let’s take a look back at some of the best (now shut down) MMOs of all time.

Of that list, I can only imagine fans of CoH and SWG still wanting their game back after all these years.
I'm sure people would love it back but due to how old both of the games are may not get that many people keep it alive with fix and updates unless they do what Turbine did with Asheron Call 1 or 2 just keep the game running with no updates or much of support.

The Maxtrix was the only surprise on the list
SWG could be recreated like it was pre-NGE. Couldn't it? The only obstacle would be Lucas Arts I guess?

To be fair for some gamers, certain updates/expansions might have been the same as shutting down the servers. Ultima Online comes to mind and in some degree WoW Vanilla.
Tabula Rasa was a really fun MMO. Warhammer I wish would have been developed by someone else. The Matrix had some really good ideas but I just could not get into it. Great list. I would have put Asheron's Call 2 on that list. Under-rated game imho
Never played it, but I've heard good things!
I still miss COH and COV ... Out of all .. that is the one I would like back most.
You and me both! Nothing has filled the void left by CoH for me.
Obviously CoH.
If TMO was back, I would try it.
People are currently playing warhammer online. Not sure how they have been so public about it and not get shutdown...
I wouldn't be interested in SWG or TR.

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."
FreddyNoNose: "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."
LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
Shout out to The Chronicles of Spellborn, and all that might have been.
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests

Wildstar. What? Too soon?
hehe- but best?...hmm i cringe at their lack of content and recent cryptic announcements. and that paragraph you talk abt war online= sounds too familiar recently.
Favorite class from a closed down MMO: Warrior Priest from Wahammer Online.
