I'm playing Astellia right now, pretty sure no one knows about this shit game. Basically Bless 2.0, but with mandatory loli pets and better client performance, also young race censorship because why the fuck not. Char creator is good though, not BDO good, but above average for sure, music is actually great too, but class selection is pretty much the bare minimum.

Attached: maxresdefault[1].jpg (1280x720, 251K)

I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, but I played it back in 2004 or 2005 and it was basically a free knock off of WoW made by Turks or Mongolians or some shit. It was trash but I remember playing it for a while all the same because my friend was.

4story?

Runes of Magic?

2Moons which is now known as Dekaron. I played it when I was like 10-12 and it was just insanely fun but frustrating because it took forever to level up and most areas were PVP so a high level player could just come and 1 shot you while you were questing.

SHIIIT

Lost saga

It went to shit after they started to add super rare gear in TC in ogplanet.

I played that, was cool at the time. I preferred 9dragons though.

DDO gets brought up pretty regularly. It has a lot of good examples of the right way to do things in an MMO (but a lot of bad examples too).

Pic related is NexusTK. It's 21 years old. It's still going, it's still damn special.

>company makes content

Holy shit

DDO had the closest thing to a good business model MMOs will ever see.

It killed Blade & Soul and then itself in the process.

Black Prophecy.

It was advertised as the next EVE even though they were nothing like each other.

It was a horrendous grind with serious balancing issues, but my god it was beautiful and the pvp was so much fun. Sad it died so quickly.

Attached: Black-Prophecy.jpg (900x563, 137K)

>Nobody remembers Metin2

As opposed to whole MMOs locked behind paywalls?

Also, there isn't really a true paywall in DDO. The in-game store points needed to get access to things if you're not subscribed to the game can be earned through normal playing of the game with no upper limit. Only the first two expansion packs need to be purchased with money to get access to. The third can be purchased in the in-game store for points, and the new one will have the same treatment later this year.

>ywn be running raids on crux prime and trading in nimbus station again

it's truly not fair

They didn't wait for the bait and switch pay2win even a month, so it fucked the game really bad. So China has super strong shit to help you catch up, if you join like 2 years late to the party, so the items are okish in a sense, someone spends money and gets enough progression to play the latest content or such. But they released those catch up items on Global, when you couldn't even get those items... it was a massive shitshow. And then they have this fucking maps that give you like a random quests, but one of those quests can give you a stupid massive amount of gold, so anyone buying those stupid maps had like 50x more gold than someone who just played normally, I quit after that and have no idea how the fucking thing could still be alive after all that and whatever they came up with later. A shame because the game had an interesting progression system and raids were actually challenging.

>Runes of Magic
Copied so much shit from wow and runescape, but still felt like an Asian mmo

Pretty bad Asian mmo but the combat was neat

I think Outspark folded.

Same, used to love RF but in EU people only played the moonlight cliff map and I eventually stopped caring.
Zone 4 was better if I'm being honest.

It had a similar look but the gameplay was more like Diablo. Randomly generated 3d dungeons with point and click gameplay and random loot.

The two that come to my mind are Metin2 and Allods Online, both pretty popular in the Turkish community although Metin2 was made in South Korea.

It had an amazing presentation and the concept of collecting playable versions of NPCs was cool but it was the most horrible grind ever conceived. Literally use the built in botting tool to park your team in a grind spot and go do something actually enjoyable with your time while the game runs in the background.

it is a fucking chinese mmo, i suggest you don't even look into it... i'm playing but i will try to quit as soon i get burned by the retarded grind.

It is a sandbox, you can trade, do sea instances, do land instances or pvp... pure p2w , in gear you hit a wall around mid level gear wise, in the PvP servers to be competitive you HAVE to pay. I'm playing in a dead server so just PvE, the strongest guild runs everyone down in server events be it pve or pvp.

played a lot, was playing Priest and it was awesome because you could AoE hunt...but i had to buy an expensive item to reset my points to go from full heals to AoE, too much effort so i ended up not playing anymore after 1 day of AoE insane exp.

Even though I've only played like one or two of the games mentioned in here, this thread is making me feel some serious nostalgia. I want to play an MMO and actually be able to enjoy it again and get immersed in its world.

Its shit combat didn't help either, despite the devs claiming that they fixed it. Also class streamlining.

I used to play that. Isn't it completely playable through a browser nowadays?

It was pretty popular in Russia. Not so popular as Lineage 2 or Ragnarok Online of course, but still, it had many players

i was grinding a holy strike priest, played until level 30 but i can't play mmos anymore so it was very short time playing. Fucking work man!

Spirit Tales was a great little MMO. It cured my addiction to paid MMOs, and I made a good bunch of friends. At least, until they merged the EN servers to the Chinese ones. All my data got cleared out, and I had to start fresh as a result. Then, it died entirely.

Tell me, tell me, tetetetete tell me

I loved Rumble Fighter, it was a ton of fun, especially when the PVE stuff came out. Sadly, I forgot to import my old account when they switched publishers. I wasn't about to start from nothing again.

i believe if devs played mmos and took notes of the best thing each mmo tried to succeed, they could make something amazing but they need to make bank on them so nope, never happening.

>playing MMOs with Yea Forums
You guys never learn, do you?

The game was gear-base so its not like levels really mattered. The real tragedy was that it was gear-base.

Obscure f2p mmos will never be a thing again. Esport ruined online games, as big prize pools is a big draw, even for casuals that will never win a single cent off the game.

Yeah, the main issue with MMOs nowadays is that the focus of development is on systems that will make them the most money in the short term. So many people are coming out with similar games that devs have to find a way to get players to play their game first and then milk them for as much as possible before the players lose interest and move to another game.
The one time I did that was in FFXI, and it was a pretty good experience. That's probably not going to be the case for a majority of games since I keep hearing people saying that kind of thing, though.

Well, had a few good times with 2 guys in 1st Guild Wars myself.
Other than that...

I've never had a totally negative experience playing mmos with Yea Forums or /vg/, if anything the only issue is the low attention span of most people so guilds get crowded and we're forced to make like 3 or more guilds, then like 3/4 of the people quit and you're left with very small and segregated cliques that don't interact with each other. The whole "meme spammer" trope is very small, like if someone is like that just gets ignored and drops the game, the only issue I've had were probabyl attention whores spamming pics of a russian futa and making everyone pay attention to her, but other than that people are chill neckbeard pedo incels who like to grind.

But god damn, Age of Wushu with anons was the most fucking fun mmo experience I ever had, so many things to even mention, and then I got banned and was left behind everyone and could never catch up.

Yes Freejack

youtube.com/watch?v=nylRZGrGcJo

I had fun racing other anons in that game, but they had this absurd progression system, where you would get random perks when leveling up... so not only you needed to be lucky enough to get a bonus that was good you needed to get a certain grade for it to be worth it, otherwise you might as well reroll because people with double speed perks or whatever was op just would win all the time against you. I'm guessing there was some cash shop shenanigans to make you able to swap perks or something but I just quit after a week of realizing how broken it was.

Each time I played MMOs with Yea Forums I had fun. Played LaTale, Mabinogi, dragon nest, Tera, ff14, elsword and maplestory 2 with them.

Anyone here played a shitty anime MMO called Grand Fantasia from Aeria Games? Wasted a lot of my younger years there, but made some good friends at least...

Speaking about racing mmos I wonder what happened with Tales Runner. That was a fun one.

I ground my way to unlock some of the favor based classes a year or so back. Figuring out how to make a build is so fun, plus I really like that each quest feels like an adventure, and not fetch quest, aimless wandering/grinding garbage. No time these days though.

Was about to post this. Fuck I played too much Conquer. I remember slapping apes for hours on end.

There was this Pre-rendered 3d anime MMO about Capturing pets and training them that I downloaded once. It was a grindfest, so I only played until around lvl 20, but I don't remember the name. Something-Master I guess

I did maybe for a few days, not even a week, it felt very generic and unrewarding so I couldn't stick with it, did I miss on anything?

I used to solo grind at an endgame dungeon as an asura summoner with a red pixie and a blue pixie, pet classes were so busted. It was more interesting in the early days too when each pet had their own unique skill tree.

What was that one web based 3D action game that had like no textures and functioned like a roguelike - being an endless dungeon below surface? I played that.

Dragon Nest has some of the best combat. Is it properly fucked now or is there some life on the asian servers?

whats it about user

I think early MMOs really had potential to spread wide through word of mouth. There were so few of them that they could spread like wildfire especially if they were free to play.
I personally started a whole school wide boom of Runescape when I found it really early in its life when it still looked like pic related. Who knows how many people it lead to playing the game in my city.

To me the game felt like an incredibly boring slog that tried too hard to be all about the story while you can't really use standard single player style story telling in an MMO. It should've been a single player game instead of some weird hybrid that had the worst parts of both worlds.

i have never been able to re-discover this game in one of these threads.

I did too.

My characters were Jogun and Orca

I played this for a bit in launch with a guild from Yea Forums. I got two characters to 30+ but the game was horribly grindy and basically required you to log in every day for a set amount of xp to keep progressing at optimal pace.
It had some neat things but also a lot of modern MMO retardese like a fuckton of story quests that didn't really give you any xp but did unlock a bunch of shit so you ideally had to do them anyway. Some of the comfiest grinding I've had in recent years though. Most games don't support that sort of grinding anymore while in lodoss it was the best way to level.

looks like a fun game

It boggles my mind that more games like Drift City or Ace Online/Space Cowboy/Air Rivals don't exist in 2019, even on mobile. They really helped the grind by making every encounter so much fun. Both games, ironically, were ruined by cheese.

Like even a good fast TPS with advanced movement like S4 League or GunZ just doesn't exist except for maybe Splatoon. Fuck, I just played a game on my phone that was a fucking Battle Royale that was S4 League/Titanfall and it was decent but it was a goddamned phone game.

I remember barely understanding english, finding this game, making a character through some weird old RPG style questionnaire, getting in the game and being utterly lost. At some point some high level dude gave me a bunch of buffs and I was the strongest and killed a bunch of stuff that I couldn't have killed otherwise. And that's about all I remember. Never really got into it.

Could've gone places if the devs hadn't put in the most jewed cash shop there is. Like holy shit was it bad.

What are some mmos you can play nowadays. One without 1 million of different items for crafting etc.

Oh btw i remember playing a game long time ago, probably 2010 or so....chibi characters...you had pets which were called spirits i believe. Does anyone remember that one ?

Kru has Darkages

I swear its run by one man named Joeker

>What are some mmos you can play nowadays. One without 1 million of different items for crafting etc.
Albion is pretty easy on the crafting. A Dagger requires like 12 Bars and 16 Things of Leather. A sword is like 16 Bars and 12 things of leather. And then everything is seperated by Tier from 1 to 8. Leveling up your mastery in a weapon just makes it slightly sftronger, so at like level 45 Broadsword Mastery your T4 Broadsword is as strong as a T5 Broadsword.

I loved rose.
Also loved:
Talesweaver (pic rel), flyff and seal online.
All i actually cared about were aesthetics and talesweaver was and will always be the best looking mmo i've ever played.

>What are some mmos you can play nowadays.
SWG has a bunch of private servers though I think the popular ones run shitty versions of the game like NGE and CU.
SWGemu Basilisk has 1000 people online pretty much 24/7 but a lot of it is people afking or grinding with macros. Jump to lightspeed should be coming sometime in the future but who knows how long it will take. I imagine that will spawn a new wave of life on the server though.

Albion is literally the definition of SOULLESS when it comes to MMORPGs. All of its design is so fucking sterile.

I tried to play this game once because I love mechs and what not but the fact you had to lock onto people to shoot them was completely stupid.

I played it for like 2 months straight and felt the exact opposite. It felt like a classic MMO experience from the late 90s, particularly due to the community. This was a few years ago, and I recently hopped on to see what a disaster the game had become. Steam release was a mistake.

Help me !
Looking for a mmo game from around 2010, kinda chibi style, you could have pets and i think those were calles spirits !?

Wasn't the netcode super shit for that game? I remember being in the alpha/beta or something since I was active in the WoW arena scene.
Think Raddy was shilling it like mad for a while.

Have and Hearth.

Everything about the game's design is so, I don't know what word to use for it other than sterile. Like the tier system. Everything is based on the same tier system and once you learn it you know everything about it. All branches of crafting work the same. There's absolutely no flavor in anything. It feels like a game designed by some statisticians instead of actual game designers. It doesn't even try to pretend that it's not a soulless machine for you to do time wasting grind in. It doesn't feel like a fantasy world to explore like UO did. I don't really like the soulless meme but it fits Albion.

Grand Chase
it still hurts

Attached: gc striker load screen.jpg (801x601, 83K)

just play the filipino/brazilian private servers :^)

I don't even play Albion but I've seen quite a few people playing it because I follow mmo streamers. I think the game exactly like you say, it's like a medical onahole, when you have cute onaholes that try to resemble a woman in some way, and then you have this generic transparent onaholes that look like gillete mach 3 design or some shit, but they both get the job done. So that's the thing I appreciate Albion, it provides an environment for autists to no life, and activities that promote grouping, and gear that promotes customization etc. Yes the systems are horribly computer like designed, and visuals aren't very creative, and it all ends up beign a clusterfuck, but it doesn't need to pretend being this tryhard fantasy world with some lore about dark and light lolis taking care of the tree of life because evil demon lord is going to make the world explode or some shit. It could be way way better? sure, but in it's particular niche there isn't much competition that has an active playerbase.

I played GC History, but some months after the realease the pvp was dead.

Rusty Hearts was awesome, supposedly theres a private server called revolution.
I remember Flyff, 4Story, 2Moon, Rappelz, Silkroad, Cabal and 9Dragons.
And god bless 9Dragons in times of its original publisher 10 years ago, i've spend thousands of hours it that. I still coming back to it with my friend once a year, we just love that game.

My buddy was super rich and bought us super OP pets, so we would play as tamers and exp on super high levels just with our pets, some kind of Magic and Psychic Genie and dragons. It was super fun.

It had a great style. You really don't see a lot of parody games out there, and the MMO genre definitely makes for a good one.
Think diablo 2 in 3d with mmo-style grouping, The game had a good sense of humor and poked fun at the genre, like the first string of tutorial quests involved you skipping ahead of people in a literal queue to enter the main game. Like a bunch of people in armor standing in line complaining that it was taking too long. It was f2p before that was really a thing and was honestly way too generous and failed.

Man I spent so much time trying out classes in neosteam, because every race got different abilities with every class. Finally found that human rogue was able to stealth and stun with a bow... fucking broken as hell, but the issue was, using poisons leveled your skills slow as fuck. Wish it was relaunched or something, heck I'd even take a mobile version.

It's a weird feeling.
Even weirder knowing that it only existed in that one little snippet of time from 1996 to 2010, and we're never getting it back.
Used to be that MMOs were basically just chat rooms with some gameplay tacked on (since that's literally what MUDs were), nowadays the social aspect has been destroyed by social media and discord.
It's a damn shame.

Ragnarok Online was probably the most fun MMORPG experience I ever had

youtube.com/watch?v=UN8CVOwcYus

this game have been rebranded many times, i played it when it was called "space cowboy online" but ive seen it being called "air rivals"

Anyone remember a subscription mmo that went f2p that was fully 3d and had structures that players/guilds could build? Also had a pretty standard fantasy style, but more drab than colorful. I know that's pretty vague but it's all I can remember and I can't figure out what it was called, probably was active around 2010 I think.

Mercenaries of Astonia & v3 have been my obsession for 19 years now

it would help if you described the gameplay more, including camera perspective

Wurm Online went f2p with a stand-alone version and has buildable structures, but it's first person.

An MMO I'm sure legit only I played.
Fighters Club Online, the kill3rcombo game that everyone was super hyped for that never came out outside of Taiwan and SK, and the Taiwanese version was only online for like a year and a half before being shut down.

Damn, that looks kind of fun. Can you still play on the SK version at least?

Same, the environments are really cute

I honestly have no idea, the Taiwanese version was done through Garena which I guess is some kind of F2P games launcher in Taiwan since it had shit like Fifa Online and LoL on it, but I could never figure out how to access the SK version outside of paying for an account or something.
I liked how even the low-level combat still had a bit of weight to it with grabs and enemy counters and similar things, like an actual beat em up.
Kind of a shame that it's dead.
Hopefully DFO2 can fill the void.

Yeah everything about it seems to be pretty generic and fuzzy from memory, it wasn't wurm though. Basically a third person MMORPG, dark fantasy style, different races, standard rogue/warrior/mage classes I think. I think one of the races was some gay devil/demon looking things. Pretty sure there was dwarves, elves, and humans as well. I think the structure building was probably the only thing really unique about it but even then I never built anything since I was too poor so it might have actually been pretty limited. There was some neat guild warfare mechanic as well. It was actually sold in stores at one point as I remember seeing it in a GameStop bargain bin and laughing since it went f2p at that point.

Not an MMO but Habbo Hotel. Making fake log in websites to get passwords, having a habbo gf that sent me nudes on msn messenger, what a ride.

So much great art and music wasted on games doomed to fail in this thread. Free korean MMOs usually have a great style to them, compared to how shit they usually are under the hood.

And I'm pretty sure it was turn based combat, again pretty generic stuff.

yikes those stock XtremeWorlds graphics
I remember the dev behind that engine being a real shithead
the most obscure MMO I ever played was probably TalesWeaver, and that's not really an obscure one in asian countries
It was basically Trickster, but better in some ways and with a much more engaging storyline
Hell I'm pretty sure Trickster was actually somewhat of a clone of it from what I remember
Then theres Space Cowboy/AR/ACE, but most people know about that by now- also fuck MasangSoft

Nevermind, it's shadowbane, guess I should have put in a little more effort in my searching.

i played the fuck out of that with some friends, we were all undergeared and we'd constantly try to fight the high level bots in pvp, we couldnt take them head on so we'd just run around gathering nodes and focusing on map control until we could build mazes of turrets/walls for the bots and their units to run in and die to when they went for our bases
shit was so much fun

This might not be the focus of the thread, but it kinda goes with the theme of it.
Anyone remembers the name of a hi-rates Ragnarok Online server that had pokemons as pets, with a battle tower where you could challenge pokemons, too?
I've been looking for it since a long time, but I can't find if it even existed. I feel like playing that kind of schlock now that I'm a wageslave and I don't have the time to grind in a real server.

This looks like a port of the mobile version which was pure, unfiltered ass.

As someone who sunk about 40,000 hours into that game in the last 15 years, can assure you, it's worth getting over the somewhat lame start.

Also, absolutely no justification for playing a single char at a time. Get 4 accounts going, get an autohotkey macro to switch between them and play as your own team.

KwonHo was fucking awesome, I wish they would just release the source code or something. They should allow direct connections. Judo was so fun

There were some other games that I played but the MMORPG that I most fondly remember which I don't think was popular is definitely Pirates of Caribbean MMORPG. As kid I was massive Pirates of Caribbean fan and this game blew my child’s mind. You could talk with almost all characters that were in the movie, you could sail the ship, and even be in pirate squad, where one guy would drive, and others could walk on the ship shooting with cannons and doing other stuff.

God I miss this game so much it hurts. I used to play on the Malaysian servers on E-Games

PVP was incredibly competitive

Someone mentioned my game. Guess it's not that obscure. But I'm a non'casher with Rank 9 (for non players: the endgame gear-ish set) so I feel a bit weird as a guild leader compared to the others. They're all whales.

Didn't it have some Korea only server that ran a bit longer?

also dunno if it counts as obscure but im still playing this right now, dont ask me fucking why
theres still some semblance of a community but the game itself does its damnedest now to get you to solo shit, getting to 200 literally takes a day and after that you hit a fucking wall, your only solution is to stack %money gain and go farm money dungeons endlessly until you can afford to either buy runs from high level players or just buy gear yourself outright
and pvp is completely dead
but i dunno, im finding the struggle kind of fun for some reason, it reminds me a bit of the old days, just with less people
i wonder when the nostalgia will wear off

how the fuck do you pay for 4 accounts nigga?

I tried to get into it, but I couldn't even get mining to 20, it's impossible with everyone camping the fucking spawns, I would expect a fucking dead game to have less people in the starter zones, but no, there's always at least 3 faggots in every mine.

Even speaking as a PWI guild leader your game sounds like shit user

I have yet to meet a single person that knows of puzzle pirates in real life or even among my online friends. I still play till this day. Have almost 10 years on this shit.

Absolutely based. Game was p2w af, but it will always have a place in my heart.

drift city still exists and is quite popular. Look it up under it's real name skid rush. It doesn't get updates like it used to but has events pretty much all the time.
trickster's pserver is better than the official servers were for years, including playerbase, it has a few thousand people playing on it.

Does anyone have the screenshot about the people trolling that german guy that played a shitty mmo for 9k+ hours.

Man this brings me back, I remember wearing this shit out of the black cat amulet.

can i get a quick rundown?

I wish I could find this mmo that I remember, it was an old one, the style was medieval fantasy and the class I played could summon creatures like an undine for healing/support, there was a large grey city and a castle that had a river run along side it, that's all I remember, shit has haunted me trying to find this game for years now.

Honestly, I had the most fun from beta -> otomai before it became the norm for everyone to have an entire team.
Single-account servers have me interested now, but it's been so long I'm sure it's not the same game I remember.

Used to spend days on end just downloading different obscure F2P MMOs and trying each one out, back in the day. Didn't care about any level caps, raiding or stuff like that, just played them then quit when I got bored since I didn't have money to buy many games, but I did have an old PC and a decent internet connection.
Then I finally managed to save up for the WoW Battle Chest (Worcha Worcha as my little sister used to call it) and struck a deal where instead of getting some pocket money each week, I'd get a set amount each month and could finally pay for my sub.
Guild Wars: Nightfall was somewhere in there before I started getting into WoW, loved that game too but it was real hard.
Runescape and AdventureQuest were also a thing before those.
It was strange but playing all those different games and exploring all those different worlds felt like a journey of its own and finally getting to play WoW was a goal of mine, since I loved Warcraft 1, 2 and 3 to bits.
I remember waiting for the game to download and install over the evening, reading and re-reading through the "strategy guides" that came packed in with the games, then playing through the first few levels as each class to get a feel for them. My little sister liked watching me play Warlock, specifically because of the Imp and nicknamed it the "Little Imp game" after that.
Played the game, loved it. Learned how to RP on there, which was always what I wanted to do in WoW anyway even if I didn't know it, to immerse myself into that world in the shoes of a character and explore it properly.
Started playing League of Legends when that came out too. Continued to play that while Cataclysm ruined WoW for me, only to end up discovering that that game would become shit too, mostly on account of its own business model.
A lot of the games I used to play simply closed down, or through innumerable patches and expansions and revisions transformed into something altogether different.
A lot of these games are lost.

my connection never allowed me to play that. Too much action for my third world pre-2010 internet.

The most recent two dead MMOs I played were Revelation Online and Astellia Online, although the latter isn't even released yet but it obviously going to be a total failure.

Revo was actually really fun, but sadly got probably the worst MMO publisher that exists with my.com/mail.ru, and thus got fucking slammed through the CBT process as fast as it could making the translation of everything fucking terrible if it even existed in the first place, and a bunch of bugs laying around because it was based off a russian port of a chinese game. Then they fucked it even more by including the abhorrently P2W chink cash shop in which you could all but buy the end game gear, instead you had to buy items you could trade for other items that would allow you to buy said endgame gear. Then despite all that people still played it, until literally every single person I knew who played that game, including myself, got hacked and had their items and money stolen. I miss it.

Meanwhile Astellia's CBT2 release tweet only has fucking 31 likes and 9 retweets. It's not even that bad, just painfully mediocre, I don't mind it too much because it reminds me of what it's going to be, some dead obscure korean MMO that never took off in the west, and those games just have some really unique feel about it.

I was playing Mage, since really you can't go wrong with mage, also all the other classes bar healer and warrior just felt like shit, especially archer.

Bless still upsets me, I'll forever stay adamant that it was a good MMO and got butchered 'for western audiences' by the horrific combat change they decided to do at the last minute. The JP build was pretty fun and I'll forever be pissed that retarded faggots who spout shit about how horrible tab target games are and how they only play action combat games managed to indirectly nigger the game. I'm sorry for ironically shilling it too.

Yeah, it's probably the most upsetting MMO I've played, Warrior was and still is one of the funnest tank classes I ever played in an MMO. Nothing beats a spear+board class that has leaps, pulls, spins, button mash for more damage, charge up attacks and CC for days. 1st level tier PvP was really great as well, when you could actually compete gear-wise with the whales.

Don't regret it though, it's seriously one of the best games I've played and everyone playing it was super friendly, it was nice.

Oh man, that takes me back. I remember back when Graal3D was launching. I wish I could get in to my old account but I don't have access to the email I used anymore.

There was a reallllyyyy old MMO I used to play.
It was basically secret of mana with a small group of people. You would all connect to each other and then play through stages, it was ARPG and some of the first few quests involved stuff like rounding up slimes.
One of the biggest things I remember is the main story character were a group of 2 boys and 2 girl. One of the boys looked basically like Sasuke.

I'll never get how Nintendo doesn't shut these down especially when the devs obviously make money through "donations".

Does it feature original content or is it just basically taking the ROMs of the games and making them multiplayer?

they totally do

Apparently for PokeMMO, since the player "provides" their own copies of the game and runs the assets off that, they avoid getting the boot.

It's just multiplayer Pokemon really. But it's fun to trade and battle randos.

Played a pokemon MMO based on the Tibia client... was pretty good too bad it was BR servers, Nintendo took down the first server in 2013 but they did launch another version of the game that is still going.
