The Game Musketeers joins the fray by compiling a list of what they feel are the "Top 10 MMORPG Busts of All Time". I'm actually surprised to see that fairly good titles like EverQuest 2 and Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach are on the list:

D&D is all-father of all Fantasy MMORPG's. Wizards of the Coast should have realized that selling your soul, err product license, for a buck is not the best idea when you don't think of the longterm ramifications. Using the successful Guild Wars template for a gaming system and charging for it was an atrocious business decision that doomed this game to failure from the start. DDO could have had a respectable offering by just MMOGizing their venerable NWN or NWN2 engine instead their bastardized Diablo/GW game was something only a Lich could love.

"MMOGizing" Neverwinter Nights or Neverwinter Nights 2 would have required that BioWare or Obsidian Entertainment had something to do with DDO. This guy does realize that Turbine developed the game, right?
