Already mentioned my favourite in the last thread, so I'm gonna talk about the worst: Metin2. I played it back during it's peak years circa 2011 or so? Here in Czechia it was incredibly popular, as well as in some other EU countries - no surprise given that basically no MMOs bothered to offer translations to the local languages so it was almost entirely without competition.
I have two problems with the game - first, it was incredibly pay to win (obviously, being a korean title) and second, it's bland as can be - it didn't even try to differentiate itself from the other grindfest korean games out at the time. It has a place in the cultural zeitgeist now and a lot of people are nostalgic for it but I really don't see why, it's one of the few MMOs I barely remember playing since nothing about it stands out
The OST is a banger though, that's for sure.
I think we all have a favorite "bad" mmo that still pulled us in . For me it was Atlantica online, which has recently come back for some reason. I remember spending hours wandering around their seemingly massive world. I'm actually going to re-download ot today just to give myself that nostalgia. While it was never a popular game, it ran on my old junky PC and was free. To me, altalntica online is just as essential to my status as an mmo junky as games like wow or dungeons and dragons online.
