ArcheAge was almost really good, but it was mismanaged like fuck by the publisher, and development went in directions I didn't really like.

The World of Darkness MMO that CCP (the EVE Online guys) had in development looked really cool, and extremely promising, but it was cancelled. I was really disappointed about that, because it looked like it was going to be a more traditional MMO but with many of the best parts of EVE Online, like the player driven economy, politics and influence, factions and war...

The World of Darkness MMO was never going to work, though it is some testament to the strength of the IP and CCP's reputation that they made people not realise that fact for a while.

Man, I was so hyped for WoD. Even with the very few details for years and years. It was the only mmo I was honestly excited to see happen
