Lost online games I got to experience before they were shut down.

Online only games (like MMORPG's or multiplayer shooters) sometimes are closed down. These are the games I got to experience before they were lost in time, like tears in rain.

Legends of Zork

Wasn't a particularly fun or well made game, still it's kind of sad never to be able to play it again, even though I only logged in once every 9 months or so.

Earth 2025

MAG

3. MAG

MAG was an enjoyable large scale FPS. I'll miss it (I never even got to try one of the three factions), even though we've got stuff like Planetside 2 that do many of the same things.

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat

5. Battlefield 2: Modern Combat

Played it on PS2, where it was available for several years after the Xbox and 360 versions had been shutdown. Even after the closure of Gamespy's services in 2014 it remained online for a couple of months, but has since been shut down.

Ridge Racer Driftopia

6. Ridge Racer Driftopia

Not too surprised this was shut down, as I have a hard time imagining anybody stuck around with the downright offensive free to play model in this game.

Wizardry Online

Darkspore

That EA made this game online only is pretty sad, since there was a single player campaign, which was fairly enjoyable. I barely managed to get halfway through before the servers were shut down.

Nosgoth

Didn't end up playing it much before it was shut down in 2016.
