DAoC got us started but WAR brought us to an all new level of gaming community involvement. I wouldn't know many of you if I hadn't had the Warhammer Online experience. It got us podcasting. It got us blogging. It created Multiplaying. Due to that, it's is probably the most important MMO in my gaming history.

So where there any in game specials at the end did anybody log on?

I didn't. Seems like most people just sat around in their respective capitals and chatted about things they loved. When the servers closed there was a pop-up that said something along the lines of "Thanks for all the WAAAAGHH'S"

Sucks to see it shut down, but after looking at people's screenshots during the final hours I can't imagine ever going back. It had its place in time yet it never quite lived up to what I wanted. Glad people were still playing and enjoying it, though.
