Launch SWTOR. Endgame sucked ass, but the leveling experience was like a much better version of vanilla WoW. It was a magical experience and I would give anything to have it back.

Monk has always been a tank for high level MVPs. Especially when steel body effect was much better in pre-re before renewal nerfed it.

sure in a singular sense but it wasn't their entire identity like it was in renewal, they basically can't even do anything but tank now, you're better off just playing something else

RuneScape

It's fun playing old school, it's funny how much time I wasted on it as a kid and now I'm past where I was after only like a month and a half. I swear as a kid all I did was fuck around in it.

Talesweaver.

gunbound, even though it's not the same as a mmorpg, i actually used to play as my sister to get free shit and it worked for over a year.

Classic Runescape and Runescape 2.

Maplestory. Coming out of beta release and getting on the ship to Orbis for the first time.

Guild Wars 1 for me.

I remember the day I quit and announced to my guild I was leaving, had a cool goodbye session. Then years later saw the game still installed so logged in on a laugh.
I was now guildmaster, all other members had long since left.
So I went to the guildhall and turned all the lights out, then quit the guild thus disbanding it....then quit the game.

No im not brazilian.

Also, regardless of game did anybody ever have that moment where you form a big random party with all different people and you just do amazingly well? Like better than the devs really expected most parties to do?

So then you all exchange details in the game and pledge to meet up and never ever do again?

Yeah, those feels man.

>what's gates of hell

>tfw just a couple years too young to had had the chance to experience UO in its glory
I have some vague memories of watching my friend's big brother play it but the first actual MMO I got to play was Runescape in 2001 and shortly after Ragnarok Online. Both of them were still magical back then but I would've loved to experience UO as well.

It was a singleplayer story shoved into an MMO. It was retarded when you considered that all those players you saw running around were doing the exact same well mostly story as you were. Questing in MMOs doesn't work if it's your personal story and if it has no effect on the world.

Now, even with all the bugs it had I legit had fun raiding and PvPing in SWTOR when it launched. It was ultimately the buggy ass raids and the shitty PvP progression system that led to my guild crumbling and me quitting.

Ferentus. That fucking game was pretty good

impossible to expect results from unless you are rich and have slaves with you on top of it

The only MMO I ever really put any time into was the Phantasy Star Universe free trial on 360, but it was insanely comfy

nobody reads like that

How did you not know what ignore was? Were you 4 or just learning English?

If you didn't immediately assume BR or SEA there's something wrong with you.

I was like 10 and we started learning English at school when we were 9yo. It's not really a word you come across that much. I don't ever remember learning it at school but most of my English was learned using the computer and playing games.

RO. I feel nostalgic about it from time to time. It did many things right (but also many more things wrong, specially after rebirth and miles times worse after renewal). Saddens me to see MMOs nowaday no longer bother with skill trees and don't try to add interesting gameplay mechanics (like freezing an earth mob to kill it with a thunder attack)

Runescape gives me the most feels.

I also played pic related for like a week. When you get the max fishing level you get the title of "Master Baiter. Haven't really seen it talked about since then. I played it well over 10 years ago.

To be fair, that's how I read it first because I thought it were only 2 panels.

Yeah
The final couple patches of the game had it actually shaping up to be both unique and a successor to XI at the same time
The damage to the game had already been done though, so I can understand why they rebooted it
Still a shame it turned into WoW

One certain part of a certain song from Gorillaz makes me think of flying across The Barrens on a Manticore in Classic. The brain is a scary thing.

You're lucky. The right MMORPG fucks you up and gives an itch that can never be scratched.

yeah this. I actually liked the original FFXIV when it first hit beta etc. It had it's bugs and lack of content at first, sure but it was a solid game until they killed it with casualization (because WoW babbies cried about how hard it was and XP caps and the crafting minigame required actual skill and luck to get results etc).
Once they simplified everything to make those cunts happy and added materia (which basically fucked over the whole game's economy and gear meta) most people quit.
I have friends that say I should give nu-FFXIV another chance but I fucking pre-ordered that game and the cunts at SE not only want me to buy it again but sub and start from lvl 1 again.
Fuck em at this point.

Been occasionally playing XI private servers and Ragnarok Online private servers once in a while to get my MMO fix between playing Eve Online casually.
and dont even get me started on how much they've casualized fuckin Eve. Citadels have straight up ruined the game and it's economy, it's fucking ridiculous.

Weird Al makes me think of Tanaris. Tried out my friend's brother's fire mage there.

Yeah, they were actually trying to do some interesting stuff with the player built economy and so on.
Unfortunately, they just fucked up so hard, they had to take the safest option for recovery and make a WoW-clone.

at least RO still has a large variety of private servers, a good chunk of them still have a decent pop.
I go on a 1 week holiday back to RO every year or so. it's nice and refreshing, but I miss having m8s to play with.

RO was killed by multiclienting so you can't really experience it as it was meant to be.

>Clementine just released.
Official, for real? That wasn't a simple stress-test?

All I remember about this is eventually getting to some moon inhabited by space lobsters or something and burning out.

i mean TalonRO and OriginsRO are down to around 800-900 people sure but that's more alive than a lot of MMOs/private servers for other MMOs.

honestly that's killed most MMOs to be fair.

This was my first mmo. So many memories of exploration and excitement.

ah shit I use to play this with dangerzone looping

>Clementine
I never played PSU but played a bit of PSO back in the day. Clementine doesn't seem to have a client download on the website. Is it hidden on the forum or not there for legal reasons?

GW2, just because despite its many flaws it'll always be the MMO that I stuck by the entire time.
I was there for the 3 day headstart
Still have my Rytlock statue that came with the collectors edition
I still get feels from fear not this night even though the base game story kinda sucked in comparison
I did miss a few things due to life, but I can't get back into games like WoW because I took a 10 year break and I don't feel like I'm part of the game anymore

The best part is that I still enjoy playing it, I just wish there was more fluff. If GW2 had a proper player home system then I could play it forever

Lineage 2
Wasted so many hours on this game, the soundtrack of Hunters Village burned into my mind as the comfiest place in virtual space. It didn't feel like playing a game, more like going on an actual adventure with strangers who ended up becoming friends. Haven't been able to reproduce this feeling ever since.

Oh shit I used to post there a bunch. There was an mmo screenshot thread that I frequently posted screenshots in and talked about mmos with people.

oh man, the memories, I had a pimped out Gigas and Nevera, but never invested $$$ to get a Drifter V9

planetside 2 before the hatpocalypse I guess, used to roll around with two full platoons once upon a time, PS2 might be a bit recent for old feels though.

FFXI is like the elder god of feels for me, no matter what good shit happens in my life it never seems to top my halcyon days playing that shit

I have such a love/hate relationship with XI's NM camping
It sucked ass competing against others (especially Japanese players) and the long wait time for some NMs combined with the low drop rate for equipment's made it hell
But there was always satisfaction in claiming a NM, and even more when you get that drop finally

Unfortunately, I feel like that kinda led to the downfall of MMOs
In the earlier days of MMOs, shit was more focused. You had great MMOs because there were less options and the higher quality ones obviously stood out. Then some time during the mid-late 00's after the immense success of WoW, you had tons of companies making somewhat decent MMOs and the genre splintered hard, making it pretty difficult to really build dedicated communities which is what makes an MMO really thrive.

i used to play planetside 2 as recently as 2~3 years ago, with the HAMD Drunkest Division outfit.
Was good times, main focus on fun, drinking and teamwork.
They didnt have any sort of discord, forums or website though so fell out of touch with them and PS2 is mostly empty except for a few hundred Koreans/Chinese that take it way too seriously.

Honestly one of the nicest threads we ever had on the forums.
People always got along so well. There was only a couple of instances of drama.
People still post in it. I've no idea why.

novaRO has like 2200 going but most of it is probably vendors, still, you don't really need giant groups for that game, you still can kinda recreate the feel of a nice community. Sadly renewal is garbage

oh we got organized as fuck, one full platoon for infantry, another full platoon for all the vehicle support.
You haven't lived till you've max crashed a biolab with 50-100 people.

What are some examples of recent non-themepark MMORPGs? I've come to realize that's the aspect of RO I miss the most.

Probably, yeah. They were shit games, and typically shut down after a couple of years. But, they were so cheap and easy they just saturated the market.
The couple of interesting ones that came out just got drowned out by the tide of shit.

>you don't really need giant groups for that game
You can literally multiclient a functional party if you want but people multiclienting takes out all the fun about it. I wish someone had the balls to do a no multiclienting server but nobody would play on it because people suck.

>Unfortunately, I feel like that kinda led to the downfall of MMOs
Definitely. There was way too many MMOs coming out and most of them weren't really worth playing either.

I guess some habits die hard. Not sure they have much to talk about these days.

There's some in development but I can't name any that have come out in recent years.

I honestly can't remember. It's been way too long.

Is furcadia still a thing? Does that count as an MMO?
Last I checked that whole thing was kept alive by a group of pseudo-whales who pump money into the game to have custom avatars and instances and shit.
Which honestly, I think is actually kinda neat in its own regard. There isn't really much of a "game" to play, but if you're gonna pay the devs you might as well pay them for tailor-made content instead of a generic asset that everyone has access to.

furcadia is not a game. oh goodness no it is not.

The map editor in that shit was absolutely amazing. Too bad about the furries.

I started it alone and a random guild picked me up as I was leveling and I loved playing with them.
I think it was on Zodiark. Then at the end of the summer I just lost all my will to play the game and just stopped playing.
I couldn't even get myself to say goodbye to the guild members and the leader who was called Holiday Nova or something like that and then my sub ran out.
Recently I tried to pick up the game but this memory made me unable to play it because I felt an immense sadness.

I really miss it too but only the vanilla with lvl50 cap. Anything past that was a mistake.

DBL has become INFINITELY better once they introduced gliding, DBL sucked because the map was built around gliding but then they took like 2 years to implement it and everyone has shitty memories of it now
Desert also had a lot of gimmicky keeps and map geometry.

I feel like DBL wouldn't be singled out if it wasn't the ONLY other map, too. It really triggers me that they didn't at least include a third map to make the rotation even.

In a perfect world I would love to have a handful of maps and having some kind of mechanic in place to let the server choose which map they play on for the duration of a matchup. Maybe they could design maps in a "rock paper scissors" type of configuration so there's not a single map that every server takes every single time. There could also be multiple EB configurations, maybe the team that loses gets to choose the next EB as a sort of rubberbanding mechanic so their commanders can plan around it and their borderlands.

The WvW format has so much potential it hurts. Even in its current state it's pretty fun to play, I was in Cyrodil in TESO earlier this week and thinking it's just not quite the same. Though that might have just been because the whole faction system in ESO is retarded to begin with.

Played it back when they first introduced gun. I feel like it shits over everything else. Are there any semblance of balance between each class?

ESO was also a game I played, also rped in it but spent much more time with actual dungeons n shit later on.

Friend i quit with is now my best friend and i live like a street away from them, so im really happy to have played that game.

I so wish I could make an old-school sandpark MMO in the vein of Ragnarok for a couple hundred autists. Not even for profit but I just feel like this is the right thing for me to funnel my unrealised creativity into. But the amount of preparation it'd take to get to making actually fun stuff like maps, designing encounters, classes etc. just kills off all the will. By the time I'd get to it it's gonna take me a few years alright.

What are some features that you especially liked about those pre-WoW MMOs? Or some features you wished to see?
Come on, I'd really like to read from idea guys with such background.

I agree. I just got back into gw2 since launch, having given WvW a try for the first time and its the most fun thing to do in the game. So much can be done to really make it their staple of gw2, not fractals or Living World

What server?

GW1 and Dofus.
I spend over 5k hours on pvp in GW1 and i played Dofus since first open test server

Archlord

GW Factions got me into the series. I loved it so much.

>and there are always too few UO posts
because we are a dying breed, literally. I played from 98 to 2001 and am 43 now

>43
fuck im 26 and i feel old

i LOVED the palace. so many cool servers to explore and as a child it felt forbidden that there were lewd ERPers around all the time.

PLAY ARCHEAGE.COME BACK PLS ITS NO LONGER P2W

TERA had the highest PvE and PvP skill ceiling I've ever seen in an MMO, also the races are some of the funnest with the most personality ever made imo. They need to make a TERA 2.

now they are instead making this aberration that looks like TERA, from what i could gather, it is a faction vs faction PvP game, so at least they got that part right, but the combat is some tab targeting hybrid

i think there is nearly zero chance for a TERA 2, bluehole makes games with the west in mind, but TERA wasn't a big hit with asians, asians in general hate action combat in MMOs

Flyff. How I miss that game.

Slapping the nose of an odd nosed duck.

Sadly not all of game development is "fun". Still there's plenty of ways to minimize the work you have to do to get where you want to go. Unity, for all of its bad reputation, does have a lot of stuff available on the Asset Store that you can actually use for game development. I have no idea how good it is but there's an asset called Ummorpg which supposedly provides you with a lot of the ground work for an MMO. Obviously if you have no experience in gamedev you're better off starting somewhere much much smaller.

There's no MMO better than Ragnarok :(.
Fuck you Tree Of Cucks you ruined the dream.

ToS looks cool

No quests or if there were quests they were grand adventures and often used for stuff like dungeon unlocks or actual progress in the game and not just an excuse to grind and get some extra xp.

Actually SWG did procedurally generated quests. You'd get a waypoint to where you'd need to go and usually it was like destroy a nest of some beasts and the beasts try to defend it or destroy a bandit outpost or kill some "elite" dude. They were kinda basic but definitely better than precanned quests. A concept that you could improve upon.

The open ended design that didn't railroad you into the next leveling area. Even in classic WoW you could stumble into places that were way too high of a level for you though I like it more when if you can kill something is decided by more than simply being close enough to the level of that thing. Ragnarok is a brilliant example where equipment and your class had a huge effect on what you could kill effectively. People even made specific weapons to grind in specific places because it made it that much more efficient.

No cross-realm bullshit. You actually got to know the people who played on your server and in the case of PvP you'd create rivalries and such.

Community features like player/guild towns that are actually in the game world, guild controlled areas, pvp to contest areas etc.

Classes and character building options that weren't necessarily all combat related. SWG is once again a great example here. On top of the various crafting classes they had doctors, musicians and dancers for buffs and cool stuff like bounty hunters having their own bounty hunting quests and also being able to hunt opposite faction jedi.

I could probably come up with more but that's enough for now.

It looks cool and on paper the class system is cool but that's about where the cool things end about ToS.

Are there any movies that accurately depict the feel of going back to an old mmo and finding the major city and your guild empty?

That's a real tough feel

>tfw when i used to play with a couple in their mid 60's back in 2006
>they are now in their 70s or could even be dead
>another person i played with went on to be a lawyer
>in her mid 40's now

I miss the game so much. even if private servers weren't a fucking mess XI had such an interesting player base that I don't think a private server would ever be able to recreate.

Trickster. I miss drilling with my friends

I played FFXI, WoW, FFXIV and a bunch in-between. FFXI is the only one I got back to for a month when the nostalgia bug bites. Without any friends it gets tiring fast.

I only ever played Tera and Spiral Knights. I thought about playing Tera again, but apparently it became a Chinese botnet a couple years after I quit and Spiral Knights never advanced as a game I guess.
Feels bland man.

>that one guy who starts role playing all of the sudden and makes everyone uncomfortable

I thought I was the only one there’s a certain smell that makes me remeber maplestory and watching all those shitty mmv

RO.
I stopped playing on 2010. I don't know if it's worth coming back. 9 years of content...
I miss my Star Glad.

I really miss you...

elaborate. is it pay2win or something?

multiplayer
and rpg elements

The community is what matters most for a mmorpg. Imagine if whole Yea Forums joined a mmo all together, shit would be so cash.

Not really an MMO but damn I miss it so much. The community was small so almost everyone knew each other

UO was too good for this gay earth...

I too miss playing Spiral Knights, that game was peak comfy stress reliever in MMO form.

it's called newfaggotry

you two are newfags

I can't stand any of you.
The nightmare, imagine the 9yo memesters, the roneries, the fags, the power tripping worlders, the casuals know nothings, the obscessed sexual addicts, the psychotics and the paranoiacs, the absolute scum of it all.
I'm thankful you're all contained into little text boxes and the thought that after so many years i might in fact belong here makes me vomit.
I never want to, to any degree, associate what i consider my life with this place and its people, everyday this board's posters find a new way to repulsed me. I will never play with Yea Forums.
I am having no fun and you ruin my days.

None, I have never gotten into any MMOs and all my attempts over the years had left me frustrated and despairing.
The absolute worst one being that time I had someone on my Steam friends I was talking to who begged me to play FF14 with them since it had a free trial, so I spent all that time downloading it and talked with him over what class to pick and whatever, only for him to meet me ingame with his high level character just to tell me
>"Alright I'll see you at end game lol"
I played for an hour, alone, deleted the fucking game and fucking deleted him.

FF14 isn't an MMO.

It's not an RPG either.

sounds t me like the mmo wasnt the problem

please dont tell obvious lies

It's a solo collectathlon, same as nuWoW.

And every other MMO in the current year?

What MMOs?

Tank Ball was my first online multiplayer game ever. Playing live with other people through the internet was mindblowing to me.

I don't believe you

bros...

When little kiddie you raises your hand proudly in class to tell everyone bronze is an alloy because it's made of copper and tin

you don't have to be so tsundere, user. if you didn't like us, why would you hang out with us every day?

Fiesta.
I wonder how these MMO's are still up and running to this day.
Like, how do these studios keep making money?
Nobody is playing these damn games.

MapleStory. The music still gets me.

I loved this game.
I used to listen to Trance music while playing this and after every gaming session watch an episode of Azumanga or Excel Saga. Then go for a walk with friends and come back and fire this up again.
Everything used to be so easy and comfy back then for me.I can't remember the last time I felt like this. Thanks for reminding me

I want to go back

there is all that airship stuff, but it is a regular MMO

>DUDE... NIGGER LOL

Well, there's a few new ones on the horizon that might be good. Probably going to be a while before they come out, though.

Hardware advancements - the servers needed to run these old games are cheap, and the small playerbases help too. The people who ARE still playing are generally highly invested and happy to pay continuously for everything.

Tera.

Corsair was so much fun. I did it for hours. But then they started doing weird shit to it. And then the gearing system became just a complete reset after every couple of months. ie literally nothing you did mattered anymore, because a whole new set of gear and powercreep replaced everything in 2-3 months.

I could understand nerfing the bams/leveling. It was fun for the first time, it just got tiring to do on alts.

I decided to get a blue ray eternal drive because I decided to start ripping any blue Ray's I buy

Seriously, I know Yea Forums has a lot of underage babies who've never SEEN an MMO that actually has an interactive community and interesting world. For years it's been nothing but themeparks, chosen one questlines, singleplayer progression and zero interaction outside your guild chatbox.

You guys should take some time to play some of those surviving older games and understand what really makes the genre valuable.

How time flies

Are there any MMOs worth getting into now?

to be fair MMOs stopped booming long before you started posting here, you're just late to the party m8

heh

holy shit i had no idea others played endless

wow

pre-NGE Star Wars Galaxies, no contest. Best combination of nostalgia and melancholy I know.
FFXIV has the best music in an MMO that I know, so a different sort of feels from that.

Tibia, Dofus. Any non EQ/WoW-clone MMORPG

The music was definitely comfy S-tier

Released as in what? They've had a server running for quite a while now. Did they finally get through their first character wipe?

Not a traditional MMO but I really enjoyed Pangya. I still feel sad once in a while knowing it's gone (in an official sense at least).
