It’s easy to look back at games we loved in the past and sometimes wish we could go back to old favorites that have left us. I know there are times when I’d really love to jump back into City of Heroes and make a new character or two. But there are always games that we never quite got around to trying, games that we meant to give a real shot, the ones we have no memories of that still seem peculiar and interesting.
I never played The Matrix Online or Asta before both were shut down, but I was always interested in both of them. My time in Auto Assault was entirely limited to its early beta, yet I love the idea. Obviously, I’m never going to have a chance to try Asheron’s Call before it waves farewell, and any consideration I had been giving to roleplaying in Landmark with my wife has been thoroughly killed.
So today’s question isn’t about what MMO you played and wish were still around. Instead, we’re talking about the memories that never were. What defunct MMO would you like to play that you never tried? Not an old favorite, but an old title that was gone before you had a chance to fall in love with it.
