The absolute worst MMOs thread

Just a little thread I decided to post...
Just fill in what MMO(s) you thought the worst of, or defend a MMO thats getting bashed, or bash an MMO with some one.
here's the format for replies:
MMO name
Why it was horrible.
that's it.


Mine:

Flyff:
Flyff was interesting for the first hour.  Then it started to get tedious.  Every single quest was a fetch quest IE: kill[monster name here] and bring me |x| of its item drops(usually 15 or above, and monsters are stingy with their drops) for like 10% exp.  Then you have to kill like 200 monsters just to level up.  F**k, that game a tedius grindfest!

I played flyff for a year and just suddenly decided, what's the fucking point? The whole place became a mess, server speeds were dreadful and the only way to have fun was to be in one of the big boy guilds. Nobody played it for fun, everyone just wanted player leveled till they could kick ass.

Don't get me wrong it was enjoyable at the time, but it slowly but surely decade throughout last year. It was enough to put me off MMO's for life. If your going to game online, do it through a console.
 
Yea, I play Silkroad Online, and Deco now though.
Anyone ever tried to play World of Kung Fu?
Don't.
3 words:
Slow
Choppy
Too easy.

Ive heard SRO is pretty good. My neighbor wanted me to try MapleStory and when I did I almost wanted to kill him.
 
Anyone ever played Sherwood MMORPG? It's hardly worth being called a game, let alone an MMORPG. I mean... you don't even have accounts, you just type a screenname as if it's chat. (Most of the time people just call themselves "Admin" or "Jesus"  :dead:)

arent those the same thing
 
not really:
an MMO is a Massive Multiplayer Online RPG, whilst a Text-based(well the guy who tried to sound smart, was in-fact wrong; it is not ONLINE RPG), or Online Browser RPG is where you type crap, or there are lil old-old-school FF battles.

SRO is good except for sometimes (if you have a good graphic card, and memory) have all of your graphical settings to high, you may run into a large-scale battle.  The result of that is:
bum bum bum bum bum...
OMEGA LAG(G)!

But yea from what I heard Maple story sux.
Pretty similar in flyff as far as the Tedius Grindfest goes.
 
Well, Maplestory is pretty okay. If you hate kiddish graphics, then stay away, but if you're looking to have some fun for a while, then it's great.

I don't know if this counts, but ugh...Club Penguin. I know it's aimed more at kids, but man, I played it for about five minutes, and jeez...it's soooo boring. I don't know how any ten year old could play that.

vengeance online :hercule:
Beat me to it.

My second pick: "Adventure Quest Online RPG" and the other 2 or 3 or 10 or however many those lazy SOBs made.
Okay, it's not actual an MMO, but the "Online" aspect of it is so over-advertised I'm going to criticize it that way. Pointless... Mindless... Ugly... Tripe...
