Worst MMO disaster of all time?

[rynnor]

Eve online had a new patch yesterday that deletes the windows boot.ini file - amazing stuff eh - some peoples PC's will have to have the operating system re-loaded and god help them if they dont have a floppy drive!!!

Can anyone think of a worse MMO disaster?

[svartalf]

Gods and Heroes is the most recent one I can imagine Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising - Community
but also Dragon Empires Codemasters - Dragon Empires > Home
At least Horizons made it to release, but disaster indeed describes it. Horizons: Empire of Istaria

Dungeons & Dragons Online gets my vote

Star Wars Galaxies anyone?

Easily the worst multimillion dollar MMO ever created.

Deletion of certain classes, SHITE launch damn i really hate SOE games they always do maintanence in GMT primetime.


Talk about no direction what so ever.


I warned most people on here about Dungeons & Dragons but the chimps still went out and bought it and loved it for a week until you realise the whole game is based in a fucking lame ass city.

I personaly think Vanguards launch sucked, bad coding, bugs that the devs couldnt fix but players could, realy bad memory leaks ect

Nothing compares to what CCP did with EvE though. Ive never played any MMO that made you computer unable to boot. Thankfuly most players had the know how needed and caught it before the Devs did, and got word out. But imagine if your a young kid playing EvE on the family PC, the chances of anyone knowing whats nackered it are slim. I see CCP being sued for repair costs from these familys, if they ever find out it was them.

I was going to sub to EvE on patch day, but had the sence to wait till the initial rush had gone. Otherwise that would of effected me. Not even going to consider subbing now.

I stand firm on GOA's Prydwen item deletion "event" , working as intended

The amazing stuff is that Windows per default allows the deletion of a so important file.

Sabotage - most likely what happened to CCP - is quite as common as a shit OS called Windows.

which would of got them.... NOWHERE

you ever actually READ one of those EULA things you have to accept ?

Dark and Light without a doubt. Was released in a pre alpha state and then months later after release it turned out they may not even own the "Ground Breaking" world technolodgy behind the game lol

if were talking pure failures i'm torn between Earth and Beyond and Auto Assault.

cant tell wich one of em closed faster then the other.


every other game mentioned here are stil running afaik so they can't be labeled as a "disaster".

I liked Earth and Beyond, so i'm thinking that one closing was a bigger disaster for me

deleting classes 2+ years into a game that people had spent hours and hours putting into their character?

A train wreck that is Star Wars Galaxies

Everyone with a half-working braincell knew to not touch SWG.
