Fun fact: Massively-That-Was even had a regular column devoted to the game called Lost Pages of Taborea. Players appreciated that it was World of Warcraft-ish without a subscription attached, and that combination alone earned it a nice following for a while there. Prior to the free-to-play movement sweeping through the entire genre in 2009, Runes of Magic enjoyed special status as one of the early F2P forerunners. The interest in this game was very real and very pronounced for a good year or so.
This peaked shortly after launch and began a sharp decline, but I was there. But if you cast your memory back to 20, there was a huge hype wave for this game as a superhero follow-up to City of Heroes. As a guideline, I’m only going with launched titles that are currently operating as of 2021.Ĭhamps, as we like to call it in the MOP office, is that far-distant third title in Cryptic’s original MMO trifecta that nobody seems to pay much attention to these days - including the studio itself. So for today’s list, we’ll be looking at 10 MMOs that used to be a whole lot more popular (or at least talked about) before slipping into relative obscurity. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like forgetting things that used to fascinate me - and I don’t want MMOs past their heyday to completely vanish from our consciousness. Games that used to draw crowds and top headlines are now trundled off to virtual nursing homes, where only the most faithful visit now and then.
Time has a nasty habit of making us forget titles that used to rile up our excitement and get us talking about on a daily basis. Not every MMORPG can remain in the spotlight forever.
