What do you think was 2014's WORST MMO?

Of course we've just had the awards for 2014's best MMO where The Elder Scrolls Online emerged with the gold medal. But what do you think was 2014's WORST MMO?

EDIT: Looks like my hand decided to spaz out and misspelled Elite Dangerous :P

    Archeage was my vote. I was so disappointed.

    For my taste Wildstar. Didn't try destiny , Elite, WOD or firefall. So no comment on those.

    The worst MMO of 2014 was probably something deservedly obscure and therefore not on your list.  I've only played two of the games on your list (WildStar and FFXIV), and while neither were good games, neither were anywhere near bad enough to make me think that it just might be the single worst MMO of the year.  Not when there are a bunch of browser-based Chinese imports that basically play the game for you.

    FFXIV and Firefall were 2013 release. WoW is a 2004 mmo and WoD is an expac. I don't see you listing other games' expacs like RIFT or EQ2. Some games you don't even list because you've never heard of them, because they were so bad.

    I don't think any on your list qualify as "worst", altho archage was pretty shaky.

    Your list is bad. I'm not voting in it. Wish you knew more about the genre to make a better poll.

    Who said it had to release in 2014? These are just the "main" MMOs that people are playing in 2014.

    I don't like it. I think you did a poor job with a poor concept.

    I did not play very many.  I played ESO and Archeage.  Both were overall disappointing.  

     

    But Archeage I would say was much more disappointing.  It was about 0% of what I would expect from a so called sandbox.

    It's good enough for a meaningless poll meant to spark debate.  Rift is also Trion, so having 2 games on a worst list I think is too much and EQ2 is too old.

    Wow is voted 2nd worst atm which isn't that surprising tbh. I thought it would be wildstar 1st and the wow as 2nd but was surprised about arch age as I haven't played that one.

     

    I am kind of happy to see wow up there though rated badly. lol

    I would think he was asking out of which you've tried.

    I will never understand the literal nature of some posters around here, rather than participate or move on you must argue a point no one is going to care about.

    The worst one I played has to be one I left so I choose Darkfall. I think it was in a slump when I entered and adding more payment schemes isn't helping its plight along with changes the rules in weird ways. Competition keeps coming for it too, every near sandbox-y game is also doing the full loot scheme. Their peak is gone and they have too many competitors to stay interesting as long as these newer games keep their path running parallel. They had some past issues with shutting down their first game and PR bumps are tough to recover from - look at Sony, they ticked off so many people they were named most hated company previously and people openly say they won't purchase from them.

    DFUW was a pretty big disappointment.  I enjoyed the game for a little bit but it got very boring, very fast.  I almost preferred working than playing the game.

    close enough .. plenty of mmo sites classify them as such.

    Wildstar took my vote I had to force myself to play 4 hours over 3 beta weekends. AA I played for a good 6 hours unforced. I just had no urge to log back end after running into no less than 5 different "Can't attack blah blah when blah blah" messages when trying to gank someone.

    Destiny almost is everything I deplore in MMO design, and yet I still have to give the dunce crown to Archeage and its downright comical level of failure.

    Worst doesn't have to mean bad... Just like best doesn't have to mean greatest.

    wow .. why would you force yourself to play a GAME for FOUR hours?

    No game bores me for more than 10-15 minutes. There are plenty of fun games .... if a game is not fun by the 15 minutes mark, i move on.

    Going right as it should, Archeage followed by Wildstar....even though that may not be fair to Wildstar because it was simply a victim of hype, the game was not that bad. Archeage, however, was a disaster from the headstart and is still destroying itself from within.

    But yes there will be fans of what you personally think is the worst MMO ever, to each their own.

    I was thinking of taking to twitter and rewarding $5 steam game choice for anyone who makes 2 accounts and votes for ESO, but I'd just be playing into mmorpgcom's hand.

    No, really, I thought about that.

    What bias? If they thought it was the worst game then they vote for it.
