Imagine: a game you've invested hundreds of hours into simply disappears one day. Millions of players lost access to entire virtual worlds when their servers were permanently shut down. This is no joke. Here are five such legendary games. Let's start with City of Heroes. The cult superhero MMO from Paragon Studios shut down on November 30, 2012, despite fan petitions. And Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning from Mythic Entertainment ceased operations on December 18, 2013, due to license expiration. Next up, the legendary Star Wars Galaxies from Sony Online Entertainment. Its servers shut down on December 15, 2011, giving way to SWTOR. And the vibrant sci-fi MMO WildStar from Carbine Studios ended its run on November 28, 2018, leaving players without a unique home. Let's not forget Paragon, the beautiful MOBA from Epic Games, which shut down on April 26, 2018. This happened so the company could fully focus on Fortnite. Surprisingly, even successful projects are not immune. A true digital loss. These games now live only in memories and on unofficial servers, like City of Heroes. Their worlds and stories are lost forever for most. Which of these losses do you find most unfair? Share your thoughts in the comments.
