Good riddance.

 

Harsh, was a fun game when released. Some novel ideas to PvP which were fun for quite some time, just lack of planning and thought toward an endgame and long term play-ability.

 

5 years? It had a good run.

 

It is a shame the developers didnt create some sort of small scale offline game for the subscribers.
I never played it past beta, but I wouldnt have thought it would be too difficult to have converted some of the better dungeons/raids to an offline game with NPC team mates, just so someone who had invested in this for 5 years actually had something to keep.

 

so basically you stopped playing 5 years ago and missed all the changes and new content....


MMO have moved on , wow is the elephant in the room , but even that is in serious decline now - blizz know it , and are having to rewrite `TITAN` for the brave new world.

1 more exp pak for WOW is really all that's left.

 

As part of Stormhammer Collective I had some great times and we were part of some significant in game firsts but we just drifted away after about 4 or 5 months. We tried switching to destro to keep things going but they were starting to consolidate servers and I went back to Eve.
