Final Fantasy XIV deserves a mention here too. Though it came back some months later, the original version was a massive failure, so they ended up remaking the entire game. They planned out a whole apocalyptic event for when the original servers went down, with a meteor visible in the sky and slowly getting closer in the months leading up to the shut down. They story behind it was pretty interesting, and it made the world a lot more believable when they brought it back for the new version.<p>Much like the article says of Star Wars Galaxies, everyone gathered for the server shut down, and at the end a video played of the impending apocalypse.
