I’ll admit it, I’m an absolute fool for nostalgia. Things that I loved in the past can still bring a warm glow to my bosom even today, and that includes MMORPGs. There are several titles that take up honored places in my memory, with some sparking that nostalgic rush whenever I think upon them.
WildStar definitely is one of these. I loved just about everything from that game, especially its design and feel, and it’s still painful to think that Nexus is gone for good. Another departed soldier that I hold nostalgia for is Fallen Earth, which was one of the coolest virtual worlds I ever explored. But I’m also nostalgic for early days in MMOs that are still around, such as City of Heroes and World of Warcraft, just because everything back then had that new car smell about it.
What about you? Which MMO makes you the most nostalgic — and why?
