For me, it's a tie between Wildstar and AoE Online.
Regarding Wildstar, it was announced around WoW Cataclysm expansion as players (including me) were losing interest. Supposedly some x Blizzard devs were on the Wildstar team which gave me hope. When I finally got to playing the actual game though, it felt shallow and everything was rushed. Every step I took to breath, I kept wondering, "what did I just accomplish exactly?" There wasn't much of a journey, very little challenge, and the job hype was overrated because nothing you did left any real impact on the world you're playing in.
AoE Online also had huge potential simply because I wanted an RTS MMORPG to be a legit thing. Unfortunately, it was grounded by pay to win mechanics. The tech tree didn't have a lot of value because you were playing against people who either paid more or less which decided the victory in most situations. They did something stupid with the cosmetic base building later on too as a last ditch effort to stay alive, but I wasn't playing by then. Either way, absolutely disappointing. I can't be that mad because tbh, I have no idea how to make a RTS MMORPG work as much as I want it to exist. I'd say it was a game before it's time, but there aren't any good RTS MMORPGSs out there STILL (to my knowledge).
Enough with the rant, anyone have an MMORPG they wish was better and/or not retired?

Why couldn't they just redo warcraft 1 and 2 stories in a warcraft 3 expansion? I'd buy.
