What was your childhood MMO, Yea Forums?

God Shadowbane was such a disappointing shitshow

I was 12. Planetside caught my attention a year later but this was my first initiation outside of Club Penguin and a few smaller kiddie browser mmos.

Flyff, and thanks for making me more disgusted at it

Tibia and Maplestory.
Maplestory still is, Tibia no since it became pay to win instead subscription based.

Just a few I played. Flyff I spent a lot of time with, as well as Gunbound. Lunia was fun for a minute. My heart yearns for Drift City though.

This game was so fucking good, that jungling combo system was so damn satisfying.

JOINING PQ@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Es grand fantasia

Vanilla WoW. Bummed I missed out on prime EQ.

God I hope I'm not still here when I'm your age.

Ragnarok online. It hurts

user Maplestory is 16 years old, it has been in life support for a long time and only gets new content because it makes 2 Billion per year in korea alone.

>childhood mmo
not some dumb gook shit

Runescape, WoW and SWG

Runescape and Guild Wars.

Runescape

NexusTK. I miss it. I think about going back sometimes but I never do. I think it's because it doesn't have the old graphical style I grew up with.

p99 was great on launch but now it's just a janitor circle jerk

Adventure Quest

Runescape. I also played some MMO called "Evil Flames" which was renamed into "Heroes Land"(I think?). No idea whatever happened to it.

i had a pretty healthy childhood, had a shitload of real life friends and went outside and had a bunch of real adventures every day. my memories from playing maplestory are on par with my real life childhood memories, its a shit cash cow game but it had so many surprisingly cool mechanics that made it feel so organic and adventurous. riding the ships with other players, scaling the 100 floor tower, drop games, free market, spawning high level monsters in low level towns, there was so much freedom it made the world feel real

Runescape 2
then MU online
then WoW

Runescape. Didn't have internet at my place so I played at the public library. I grew up in a very small town, but somehow the library had enough computers for every single kid to be able to play Runescape together. They didn't even mind us putting our membership subs on the telephone bill.

10six. Yes, Sega had the world's first MMORTS.

Silkroad Online. I remember waking up super early because the servers were always full.

Attached: SilkRoad.jpg (800x640, 75K)

I miss the bot konga lines.

There. Never heard of it after I dropped it, and I don't know if it was really an MMO, but I sunk a ridiculous amount of time into it. Met some interesting people, got close to one, and then never heard from them again.

MU

WoW was the first mmo I ever played but it was when I was already a teenager. I was a normal kid before then.

People liked MMO back then because that was a fast way to be connected with people, you could log in and see them connected and ready to chat.

When technology evolved, it was easier to be conected to people, you were actually connected 24/7. No need to log in to stuff to see other people, just a message and you could reply wherever you wanted.

I don't know how to explain it, but I know somehow this two arguments are connected. I'm just to tired to think

Ultima/everquest when I was too young to even read I remember going to CompUSA to get EQ on launch then as a young literate lad I played a lot of lineage/L2 and Anarchy Online

I mean, it still there. You could play it on your phone, now.

Fuck, I spent way too much time on There...

The problem with private servers is that only the elite players return to do them. You don't get the casuals and sheep like you would did in the original classic run. EQ was made by the fact so much was unknown about it. It wasn't until the Velious expansion that people started getting a clue. Even on my rather hardcore PvP server Tallon Zek the average person was fucking clueless as to the deeper mechanics of the game. If you go play on 1999 everyone knows the exact best in slot items and the mathematics formula behind the stats. Up until.. some time in the mid to late 2000s the spawn pattern of the Ancient Cyclops was still somewhat myth and only revealed by a former developer on a forum post. Even 10 years after the game had launched the AC was a somewhat closely guarded secret.

The best mmo that ever was

They're probably on OSRS.

I miss FLYFF so much

I was a NAT on Delteria

All I remember was buggies going off ramps on a beach and sometimes blocking other people on the ramps, driving around empty landscapes for long times, and occasionally finding these tucked away places and hanging out with friends. I don't know if there was even gameplay, aside from this one person who kept making scavenger hunts with prizes.

It shows you if they're on OSRS or not when you log in user.

Why the fuck is there a Cock and Ball Torture event?

Loved XI but was pretty shit at it.
ROSE on the other hand, I really liked.
The amount of people camping certain mobs for a drop (like that giant fish guy) made it a decent community

i didn't and never have played MMOs

Started final fantasy 11 when i was 13. My entire teenage life was spent on that game. Friendships. Romance. All of it.

Playing Adventure Quest Worlds in middle school - met this guy named Sequitor who was a lot higher level than me and helped me through quests and shit. Said he had a kid and couldn't play as much as he wanted to... wonder what hes up to these days.

/join dragon-9999

Maplestory
Mabinogi

Does rakion count as an mmo?

Unironically, 4Story. I can't remember much about it, plus, it never was big.

Does Phantasy Star Online count? I have some weird stories from those days

Damn the game was utter trash but the sprites had so much SOUL
There's also a gacha game but shit's never going global

im surprised theres at least one person on this board that remembers this ancient eastern trashfire
never got past like level 30 because i've never been able to commit to mmo's long term
except runescape, i put so many hours into that game and i have no idea why

Flyff
youtube.com/watch?v=yDGyY7oyrwY

EQ, my only love. I take breaks for other games here and there, but I always come back. Raiding and grouping is just completely unique and I've never found another game that did either of them nearly as well.
The lore really gets me though, even if it gets a little silly at times it's all so well put together and consistently scratches that high fantasy Ad&d esque itch in a way that even singleplayer games can't.

While I could say you could play SWG Emu/Legend, it won't be the same. It never will.

Now, I have a house, a job, my retirement, but I didn't get to enjoy those mmo. Seriously, fuck Subscription Fee.

ArcheAge, Skyforge

I want to play a good mmo that isn't FFXIV, squeenix is reeing at my account. Any suggestions?

Yeah, the day blessings were added the game went downhill and fast.

There have been no MMOs since that got the social aspect correct. That was what made Maplestory thrive despite being a shitty korean grindfest.

The fact that games still don't implement a buddy list chat or private chat rooms is mind boggling to me.

It's also why Maplestory will never come back. Can't recreate that social aspect without an actual playerbase.

The servers were coded properly and could be run from shitty servers, it wasnt expensive since the game wasnt that big anyway.
