There was a mmo that has an unique mechanic (at the time) that set a weird zone of efect for every skill of every class and u needed to run/move to aim with that on mobs and avoid the ones from mobs, eventually i see that on modern games now but at the time was so cool, it had some sort of space theme, and a cartoony look, like wow but smoother and more light coloured, name was something with "wild" but i cant remember it... when i fount it it was dying from low players and i never find it again ! Please helpme find it and see if has got any dedicated servers?
@@PandaRizzArg sadly i have witness a couple of mmorpg closing their servers forever, some cameback with different name but it closed again because of hackers, now that i remember there was also one called wild city for phones and the same thing happened.

Hey hey!! OG Argentinian Regnum player here!! From way back into '07-'08! First of all, the three kingdoms offer different starting points and races, although the classes are the same. Reach class can evolve into one of two specializations. Each kingdom has 2 zones: a training, and a quest. Then there's a common middle zone that is a war zone. Any of those strongholds can be captured for points and xp. It used to be an absolute epic war up there. I was one of the very few supports of my kingdom so they protected me more than their lives ('cause I actually could revive, heal and give mana). I have fond memories of that game. Oh, and it wasn't that buggy. And fun fact: one of the guys who worked on that game also worked on the GODOT engine :)
The objective was simple but very interesting. There were 6 gems in total, 2 inside each kingdom. The realms were protected by long, tall walls. Outside the walls, in the War Zone, each realm had 3 strongholds. One realm could only invade another if they managed to capture the 3 rival strongholds at the same time and defend them for 10 minutes. After that, the target realm entered an “unprotected status” and could be invaded to steal their gems. When a realm collected the 6 gems, it would open a door into a dragon lair that granted 1 wish for the entire kingdom. The players inside the lair could vote for the wish: the actual ones are exp boost, gold boost, more loot rate. (The boost lasts 1 week). After that, the gems would reset and the cycle would begin again. It was very fun at that time, one of the best PvP experiences for me. It was evolving really nicely, with graphics and map updates, but it was ruined by bad decisions, lack of updates, and a ton of P2W stuff.
Back in 2008-2012 I played a lot of Regnum. The Realm vs. Realm in the central Warzone was epic. Later Gamigo added invading the other realms. It was honestly fairly hard to do and they did their best to balance out the realms. After that the game went downhill and monetized way too much. But for a long time that was my go-to MMO. Loved it!
Been playing Islet Online for about 4 years on and off now. Amazing game, tons of fun! Especially when you get your flying mount and build your home, it's very addictive. Would recommend to everyone. The English-speaking community is very small, but it's still a great game and everyone is very polite anf friendly.
@@flannelpillowcase6475 idk if anything has changed, but I played Palia for months before it came out on steam, but the players were extremely toxic and rude, full of botters and cheaters, and the developers seem to only care about taking as much money as possible from the players. Maybe it's better now, but honestly I don't think its any better than Islet Online lmao.
The childlike you felt uncomfortable is a genuine old (and well liked overall) artstyle in many mediums (anime, manga, figurines, etc). It's called Chibi. It's actually one of the OG (MMO)RPG styles to exist. They are usually out dated due to them being translated poorly and cultural differences from Japan, China, and Korea.
Same & if they are real players I wonder what fuels their desire to play a game (MMO) knowing you're the only 1 online. Just standing in a starting area awaiting a new friend. Crazy.

For Islet when you started training your jumping skill my first thought was "find a low ceiling to bonk your head off so you don't jump as high every time." Am I broken? Or is this normal?
It's actually smart. fwiw, this is how I power-level jumping in Daggerfall - doorframes are just a bit taller than your character, so you essentially jump very fast
Out of all the MMOs displayed the one you liked the most was the one i disliked the (second) most from a viewer watching gameplay perspective :P I agree with the childish cartoon characters thing but the final MMO had the same effect on me. Looking forward to the deep dive on it though, love this content!! keep at it
Sleep Paralysis demon got me xD Greetings from Argentina here! Didn't have the chance to properly play Regnum, but indeed heard about it; I was most likely busy playing Cabal Online, Granado Espada and L2 :D

O yea, it's still got a good following. I have played it several times the past year. I still have my first character which is my main I created 18 years ago haha.
So glad i finally got around to watching this video. I love exploring concepts like this and I know the exact feeling of something being just out of reach. Thanks for making this, and I hope you reach 1000 subscribers!
I love this series, I played many MMOs after the rush UO gave me back in the day, even did EQ's ps2 game. Everything from Runescape to EVE, 2Moons, 9dragons, Flyff, Rose Online, Maplestory an many more. Thanks Waydot.
I even didnt know that Ryzom is still online.. it was really interesting mmorpg it had feature to mix abilities together.. I never seen this anywhere else. It can make your character very special.. like you take fireball and change it to poison damage and make it to do not just dd but also dot.. etc :D
Perpetuum was a fun game, I remember finding it and playing it with my group back in 2014, it was heavily inspired by EVE online but the devs just kind of abandoned the game before it came to steam, and eventually gave the source code over to the community to continue developing the game.
Speaking on getting lvl up on random things i like when using skills lvls them up It just makes sense that using a skill more makes it advance further like any other skill in life the more u do it the better u get at it Unfortunately not many mmos or games in general use this system Which is a shame
You’re quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-camrs brotha. Always a delight to see you posted a new video. Started playing LOTRO with my twin brother due to your vid. Thanks and keep it up!
Perpetual seems like they tried to make it feel like you were controlling a mech with an interface, but they over complicated it to the point they stopped it being fun.
I played Ryzom back in 2006 and it was pretty popular back then for several years. It has a complex combat system where you can craft your abilities via stanzas to do more damage, attack faster, be more accurate, etc. at the cost of using more sap (mana). There's a LOT to this game and it's still doing well to this day. I was actually surprised to see it in this list of dead MMOs because it's not really "dead". All the other titles in your video after this I never even heard of haha.
Ryzom in its prime was a really cool game. It's definitely a unique world and setting... hampered by a cumbersome game engine. There was a lot of interesting and enjoyable stuff in there, wrapped up in mechanics which made everything harder than it had to be. But I've never played in an MMO setting more unusual, captivating, and one-of-a-kind than Ryzom. If the developers had been part of a design team for a larger dev, and left others to work on the engine and mechanics, it might have been really successful.
Happy to see another Regnum player. I played on Ignis. We were mostly Latin American players, but I stumbled upon some Frenchies once and taught them how to play
@@Sizzer1337 Dude, I didn't even played THAT much, but a LOT happened to me there. Witnessed an online marriage. Got into a friendly gathering and duel with a rivalry faction. Got into many epic battles. And somehow I was quite known (was one of the very very few full healers and my friend got me into the top faction of the realm). Oh. And we had a three days session with NO SLEEPING.
You should try out Palia. Its an online persistent world and plays like that last game on your list here. It also has Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing vibes, but its online and has a very friendly and helpful community. Its free on both Steam and on Nintendo Switch. :)
@@GygaxxGrows Despite the layoffs, development is still trucking along. A new feature update was just announced. I'm still hopeful for Palias future. It's only really if community abandons game it may topple.
17:07 alright I understand that the characters arts can be bothering, but you gotta say the world assets like houses streets and trees are actually pretty good
I have played 2/6 of these :'D 1/3 isn't so bad! Ryzom was great fun when I was a kid. I used to play with my dad. It was and still is super underrated. Legends of Edda is boring and grindy but the community is super welcoming and lovely, so it's strange that nobody spoke to you because when I first started I was hounded with guild invites.
If you can, figure it out and get it working. There's a way to play Lego Universe. When the game was released, i fell in love so quickly with it. Player created homes/ weird creations. Zones were so cool and had hidden areas/puzzles to find. It was such an amazing game that unfortunately closed due to the cost and not enough players.
i used to think the lady on a world of warcraft box was the lady i saw in a dream once when i was little and i blamed for my lack of video game skills. and how you see the textures reminds me of 1 of my gaming beds in imvu. i mashed 2 gaming beds together as part of a way to create the perfect gaming bed and at certain angles its sometimes a superman bed and sometimes a purple bed with leopard spots
Ryzom's a complex game. Almost as complex as EVE online in some respects but after playing both of those MMOs for well over 15 years they seem so simple now haha.
Regnum was and still is one of my favourite games with a lot of good memories and i enjoy coming back at it from time to time :) gave me thousands of hours of fun within the last 15 years, can't complain :)
Islet is pretty neat game. Not the typical MMORPG experience, but I think a lot of MMOs could learn off of its simple yet effective addictive gameplay loop.
Ryzom does get much better. I played it about 12 years ago. It was old then. There are dedicated players and if you can get with a group of them you will have fun. You will feel alone a lot until you get to the maps where most players hang out. Also you will find players that run 5 or more accounts at once using macros. I though I was playing with a much larger group in the beginning until I found out 5 of the players where one person. It was impressive to see them all play as if they were different people. I loved the game but moved on to Guild Wars 2.
I play Champions of Regnum. You did a good video, but the problem is that the game require leveling to get to the part of real RvR fighting. You should be at least level 45 to be of some use there. Max level is 60. Also, at level 11 you get 2 more clases. For the mages, there are warlocks and conjurer. The game have times with more or less gamers online.
One of my Favorite MMORPG's, probably 15 years ago now, was Atlantica Online, I LOVED the Turn-Based Combat in it and NEVER found another game that did it like that, sadly it got bought out and the Dev after did not care and made it super P2W.
I might try that last one out myself, I been wanting something like that in my life. Graphics could be better but that doesn’t bother me is the game play is good.
At least give the game a shot, its strangely addicting and really hit a lot of those feel good mmo receptors that i didnt assume it would just judging the game by its cover
i bought ryzom when it came out. back in the early 2000s i bought almost every MMO that came out. Neocron was my absolut favorit, extreme thick atmosphere. I played it a lot back then. Its now a free game and omg, cant believe how buggy that game was. Its horrible to replay today. Its just bugs bugs and more bugs, can believe it was my favorite.
You should do a video on "Eldevin". I got super hooked on that MMORPG when it came out. It has a very nostalgic feel, with the music and graphics. But practically nobody plays it anymore. I'm truly surprised the devs still keep it going. The majority of updates are all just holiday events now, but I really wish that game would've gotten more recognition. I feel like it could've gotten up there with WoW and RS.
wait what hunt cow studios went on to make an actual mmo? I used to play their web browser game that i cant remember for the life of me. Started with F, fallensword maybe? You could even do pvp with the GMs in that game lol
Never heard of Islet, but I'm surprised you didn't mention Trove at all, which leads me to believe you might not be aware of it. It's certainly got various differences than islet, but in terms of a "Minecraft MMO" it's the one I always think of, and unless things have changed since I last looked into it, there's still quite a few people playing. I'll always be happy to bring Trove up because early on you could actually create and submit voxel items/styles and submit them and one of the permanent hairstyles in the game is one I made.
Haven't played any of these, but I played a handful that I never see on top XX lists anymore: Tibia, Lineage 2, and Neverwinter Nights Persistent Worlds
I've been looking for a different kind of mmo to sink my teeth in that isn't mainstream (because i don't like them) and i think that Islet Online is just something i might enjoy since it reminds me of Wakfu. Thank you for showcasing it. 🙏
You may not see this but i would absolitely love to see you explore FF 11. I hear some amazing things but i genuinely enjoy your perspective and would love a vid on it
amazing idea for a video. in my opinion what you're documenting is deeper than video games. We have all been sucked into this vacuum on the supposed world wide web. with new tech it seems our window of discovery is dwindle to a few mere apps and in this case MMOs. You literally just going to page 4 is proof the internet does still exist. I would say that a vast majority of consumers are so invested in things they are told to like everything after page one on steam might as well be a blank page
I played Regnum online from 2007 through the transition to Champions of Regnum right up to the closure of the last English server. I would say they were accurate in their description at least up till 2010. The original game was like a scaled down DAoC with superior skills and at least on the English speaking server the realm was filled 24/7 so PVP was non stop anytime you wanted to log in. Sadly they lost the original creator around 2010 and the guy who replaced him drove the game into the ground. Starting in 2010 he completely changed the combat system and lost 50% of the playerbase then a couple years later released Champions of Regnum (most referred to as Champions of Rectum) losing around 50% of those remaining and it got even worse. All you had to do to illustrate his incompetence was realize there were 7 or 8 servers around the world when he took over and they quickly dwindled to only 2 then only 1 left in South America. I will always miss that game as I've never found a game with such fun PVP since (the original not the mess it was at the end).
The problem with regnum if that he really didn't go to the real battle zone. You gotta be 40+ to fight and do something and it really shines there. Doesn't shine at the leveling aspect
Legends of Edda actually looks legitimately cool in art design. Not gonna say it's a good game but I do like the style. It's very Dark Cloud 2 and Radiata Stories.
I'm playing Rogalia on Steam. After these servers died a few years ago the game revived in Free-to-play form. Nothing much to look at but it has some unique mechanics that I like.
A few suggestions: APB Reloaded (Died a few years ago not sure if even possible to get into). Tera Online (Died off a few years ago as well). Gloria Victis (Small PVP MMO, that is still standing somehow after all the years). Metin2 (Not even sure if this one is still alive, but was my childhood mmo).
APB reloaded has an emulator, but not recommended. Tera Online, likewise, has an emulator as well which I have played off and on but more off due to work.
I really enjoy, some 1 call. Eldevin, from Hunted Cow Studios. The mmo, have a lot of potential, but the managers cant do it better. I hope some day have a great renewal.
I'm fairly old. When WoW first came out I was intrigued. But I wasn't buy a new gaming pc/pay a monthly subscription intrigued. I had never played an mmo before and the closest I had gotten was watching my buddy play muds when I was a teenager. I searched the internet for mmos and non of them worked on my pc or cost a subscription I wasnt willing to pay. All except Regnum which was all the game was called at the time, 'Champions of' came later at some point I dunno, I never stuck around that long. Long intro to a short story; when I first logged onto regnum the whole concept was so new to me that I just sat there ontop of this starting zone icehill trying ot read all the help guide. There was this dude standing there. Another player like me, the first online real person I had ever laid eyes on in an mmorpg. He turns to me and says 'hi. are you lost?' and I said 'Hi. Ya kinda I guess. I've never done this before' So he says 'I'll show you where to go for 1 gold'. I look in my inventory and sure enough the game had started me with 1 gold. I give it to him thinking this must be some normal sort of transaction in these mmorpg things. He takes it and says 'follow me'. I follow him and we run for 25 sec...to the next hill where there was an npc. 'You go here. Good luck' It took me 5 min to get ripped off in my 1st mmorpg ;p
please do visit Elemental Knights Online. Its a 15 yr old japanese game and still running. It has a wide character feature and skills with a ton of classes. And also still have tons of japanese active players too. 😊
You should look into a game called Gods of Zushin, it used to be called Zu Online and there is a single guy running a server and finishing the translation from the Chinese version. The game came out around the expac of Cataclysm for WOW. I use to play this game all the time, but since it disappeared because of translation and marketing issues, I had to find other games to play. I miss the game and I've never met anyone who's known about it before.

Perpetuum was a fun game, I remember finding it and playing it with my group back in 2014, it was heavily inspired by EVE online but the devs just kind of abandoned the game before it came to steam, and eventually gave the source code over to the community to continue developing the game.
Regnum looks like it reuses quite a few assets from another MMO called Cabal Online. Particularly the UI.
If Islet online release around in 2004-2009. This game should become one of the best old MMORPG ever .
Speaking on getting lvl up on random things i like when using skills lvls them up
It just makes sense that using a skill more makes it advance further like any other skill in life the more u do it the better u get at it
Unfortunately not many mmos or games in general use this system
Which is a shame
Dude. I think I played Ryzom a long time ago. The character creation brought back memories i forgot
Regnum actually doesn't look too bad. i would have played this 7 years ago
Would you really? Legion was already released o.o Ragnum looked like garbage
Nice video, I subscribed because of it. Ever play Anarchy Online before? That was my mmo for over 13 years but not many know it.
And a great soundtrack!
You’re quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-camrs brotha. Always a delight to see you posted a new video. Started playing LOTRO with my twin brother due to your vid. Thanks and keep it up!
Perpetual seems like they tried to make it feel like you were controlling a mech with an interface, but they over complicated it to the point they stopped it being fun.
I played Ryzom back in 2006 and it was pretty popular back then for several years. It has a complex combat system where you can craft your abilities via stanzas to do more damage, attack faster, be more accurate, etc. at the cost of using more sap (mana). There's a LOT to this game and it's still doing well to this day.
I was actually surprised to see it in this list of dead MMOs because it's not really "dead". All the other titles in your video after this I never even heard of haha.
Ryzom in its prime was a really cool game. It's definitely a unique world and setting... hampered by a cumbersome game engine. There was a lot of interesting and enjoyable stuff in there, wrapped up in mechanics which made everything harder than it had to be.
But I've never played in an MMO setting more unusual, captivating, and one-of-a-kind than Ryzom. If the developers had been part of a design team for a larger dev, and left others to work on the engine and mechanics, it might have been really successful.
Ah Regnum, or now Champions of Regnum, this one is my childhood man, spent countless nights with my best friend playing this game. Good times.
Happy to see another Regnum player. I played on Ignis.
We were mostly Latin American players, but I stumbled upon some Frenchies once and taught them how to play
@@teknomax7883 Was Alsius the first times but I liked Syrtis map so much I switched some day. Sounds like you also had some good memories with this
@@Sizzer1337 Dude, I didn't even played THAT much, but a LOT happened to me there. Witnessed an online marriage. Got into a friendly gathering and duel with a rivalry faction. Got into many epic battles. And somehow I was quite known (was one of the very very few full healers and my friend got me into the top faction of the realm). Oh. And we had a three days session with NO SLEEPING.
You should try out Palia.
Its an online persistent world and plays like that last game on your list here. It also has Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing vibes, but its online and has a very friendly and helpful community.
Its free on both Steam and on Nintendo Switch. :)
Palia was fun for a few hours played it on release. To bad it seems like it might not be around long
@@GygaxxGrows Despite the layoffs, development is still trucking along. A new feature update was just announced. I'm still hopeful for Palias future. It's only really if community abandons game it may topple.
@@GygaxxGrows might not be around long? says who lol?
17:07 alright I understand that the characters arts can be bothering, but you gotta say the world assets like houses streets and trees are actually pretty good
I remember Ryzom, had such huge hopes for it but I just couldn’t get into it. Stuck to the other mmos of the time.
Not sure how interesting it would look in one of these videos but one of most famous French MMORPG is called Dofus. Brings back so many memories
11:28 the "rest emote" is a normal mechanic in Ragnarök Online (insert to sit and recover more hp/mana)
I have played 2/6 of these :'D 1/3 isn't so bad!
Ryzom was great fun when I was a kid. I used to play with my dad. It was and still is super underrated.
Legends of Edda is boring and grindy but the community is super welcoming and lovely, so it's strange that nobody spoke to you because when I first started I was hounded with guild invites.
I really enjoyed the video, I think I might do the same this weekend on my iMac and see what random obscure MMOs I can find for Mac lol.
If you can, figure it out and get it working. There's a way to play Lego Universe. When the game was released, i fell in love so quickly with it. Player created homes/ weird creations. Zones were so cool and had hidden areas/puzzles to find. It was such an amazing game that unfortunately closed due to the cost and not enough players.
i used to think the lady on a world of warcraft box was the lady i saw in a dream once when i was little and i blamed for my lack of video game skills. and how you see the textures reminds me of 1 of my gaming beds in imvu. i mashed 2 gaming beds together as part of a way to create the perfect gaming bed and at certain angles its sometimes a superman bed and sometimes a purple bed with leopard spots
I still remember playing an MMO that sadly died many years ago called Earth Eternal, which was pretty fun during my brief time with it.
No way Rappelz it's not here. It was my first mmorpg ever and I'M OBSESSED. Sadly, it's a ghost game by now.
Rysum was great back in the day but remember doing alot of online research before you tube to understand what I was doing.
Yeah, I remember it as the good alternate mmo at the time, but it was too much to get into.
Ryzom's a complex game. Almost as complex as EVE online in some respects but after playing both of those MMOs for well over 15 years they seem so simple now haha.
this guy is so off the wall with his anecdotes xD its hilarious
Regnum was and still is one of my favourite games with a lot of good memories and i enjoy coming back at it from time to time :) gave me thousands of hours of fun within the last 15 years, can't complain :)
I played quite a lot of Ryzom when I was younger.
The question is... why are the servers still up if there's nobody playing?
Islet is pretty neat game. Not the typical MMORPG experience, but I think a lot of MMOs could learn off of its simple yet effective addictive gameplay loop.
Ryzom does get much better. I played it about 12 years ago. It was old then. There are dedicated players and if you can get with a group of them you will have fun. You will feel alone a lot until you get to the maps where most players hang out. Also you will find players that run 5 or more accounts at once using macros. I though I was playing with a much larger group in the beginning until I found out 5 of the players where one person. It was impressive to see them all play as if they were different people. I loved the game but moved on to Guild Wars 2.
The textures glitching on regnum could be DX12 related, if you try it again if possible set to DX11. Same issue appears in WoW as well periodically.
I play Champions of Regnum. You did a good video, but the problem is that the game require leveling to get to the part of real RvR fighting. You should be at least level 45 to be of some use there. Max level is 60. Also, at level 11 you get 2 more clases. For the mages, there are warlocks and conjurer. The game have times with more or less gamers online.
23:00 They stole the Level Up Sound from the game NosTale btw. Don't know if you reviewed this game already but I would remember that sound anywhere.
Quick shout out to the Dead Legends .
-Rakion
-Grand Chase
One of my Favorite MMORPG's, probably 15 years ago now, was Atlantica Online, I LOVED the Turn-Based Combat in it and NEVER found another game that did it like that, sadly it got bought out and the Dev after did not care and made it super P2W.
my first MMO was Shaiya, nobody talks about it nowadays but it holds many beloved memories of discovering the genre 😌
amazing dedication and information. you sir, get an A+
I might try that last one out myself, I been wanting something like that in my life. Graphics could be better but that doesn’t bother me is the game play is good.
At least give the game a shot, its strangely addicting and really hit a lot of those feel good mmo receptors that i didnt assume it would just judging the game by its cover
i bought ryzom when it came out. back in the early 2000s i bought almost every MMO that came out.
Neocron was my absolut favorit, extreme thick atmosphere. I played it a lot back then. Its now a free game and omg, cant believe how buggy that game was. Its horrible to replay today. Its just bugs bugs and more bugs, can believe it was my favorite.
Ryzom was funny and great. Regnum had a rvr discret funny system
i've played PW, Priston Tale and a lot of old ones that are dead but has a special place in me
8:36 Oh my gosh... I can't remember the last time I literally laughed out loud so hard at a video!💀
Champions of Regnum is basically Dark Age of Camelot but B-Flick Level.
You should do a video on "Eldevin". I got super hooked on that MMORPG when it came out. It has a very nostalgic feel, with the music and graphics.
But practically nobody plays it anymore. I'm truly surprised the devs still keep it going.
The majority of updates are all just holiday events now, but I really wish that game would've gotten more recognition. I feel like it could've gotten up there with WoW and RS.
wait what hunt cow studios went on to make an actual mmo? I used to play their web browser game that i cant remember for the life of me. Started with F, fallensword maybe? You could even do pvp with the GMs in that game lol
The devs have basically abandoned Eldevin and the events are just repeats of previous years
The speed option in the youtube clips it's such a good feature ^^ x2 is the best.
You can play Anomaly Zone. It's a stalker-like MMO RPG, that's pretty old and indeed is a dead one.
Never heard of Islet, but I'm surprised you didn't mention Trove at all, which leads me to believe you might not be aware of it. It's certainly got various differences than islet, but in terms of a "Minecraft MMO" it's the one I always think of, and unless things have changed since I last looked into it, there's still quite a few people playing.
I'll always be happy to bring Trove up because early on you could actually create and submit voxel items/styles and submit them and one of the permanent hairstyles in the game is one I made.
Haven't played any of these, but I played a handful that I never see on top XX lists anymore: Tibia, Lineage 2, and Neverwinter Nights Persistent Worlds
Huh..? Lineage 2 is pretty known. I played it! It was quite popular for a while here in Argentina
@@teknomax7883 Cool. Didn't say it wasn't known, just that I never see it on top XX lists anymore.
I've been looking for a different kind of mmo to sink my teeth in that isn't mainstream (because i don't like them) and i think that Islet Online is just something i might enjoy since it reminds me of Wakfu. Thank you for showcasing it. 🙏
You may not see this but i would absolitely love to see you explore FF 11. I hear some amazing things but i genuinely enjoy your perspective and would love a vid on it
I'd like to see you play Shaiya, if it's still around. I had lots of fun there as my second MMORPG long ago.
First time i've ever seen an Eve-Like rather than a WOW-like. Perpetuum reminds me a lot of Classic-era EVE.
Your character in Islet Online looks like a shiny drifloon lol
Eda looks like such a passion project. look at those detailed enviorments. plus the cash shop is there to support free mmos. its so basic.
amazing idea for a video. in my opinion what you're documenting is deeper than video games. We have all been sucked into this vacuum on the supposed world wide web. with new tech it seems our window of discovery is dwindle to a few mere apps and in this case MMOs. You literally just going to page 4 is proof the internet does still exist. I would say that a vast majority of consumers are so invested in things they are told to like everything after page one on steam might as well be a blank page
I played Regnum online from 2007 through the transition to Champions of Regnum right up to the closure of the last English server. I would say they were accurate in their description at least up till 2010. The original game was like a scaled down DAoC with superior skills and at least on the English speaking server the realm was filled 24/7 so PVP was non stop anytime you wanted to log in. Sadly they lost the original creator around 2010 and the guy who replaced him drove the game into the ground. Starting in 2010 he completely changed the combat system and lost 50% of the playerbase then a couple years later released Champions of Regnum (most referred to as Champions of Rectum) losing around 50% of those remaining and it got even worse. All you had to do to illustrate his incompetence was realize there were 7 or 8 servers around the world when he took over and they quickly dwindled to only 2 then only 1 left in South America. I will always miss that game as I've never found a game with such fun PVP since (the original not the mess it was at the end).
Well, maaaaybe all those mmorpgs, but i am fairly certain most have on their minds Lineage 2 too. It is a popular game too, you know. :)
The problem with regnum if that he really didn't go to the real battle zone. You gotta be 40+ to fight and do something and it really shines there. Doesn't shine at the leveling aspect
At this point they should rename this genre into Massively Lonely Online RPG.
Legends of Edda actually looks legitimately cool in art design. Not gonna say it's a good game but I do like the style. It's very Dark Cloud 2 and Radiata Stories.
I'm playing Rogalia on Steam. After these servers died a few years ago the game revived in Free-to-play form. Nothing much to look at but it has some unique mechanics that I like.
A few suggestions:
APB Reloaded (Died a few years ago not sure if even possible to get into).
Tera Online (Died off a few years ago as well).
Gloria Victis (Small PVP MMO, that is still standing somehow after all the years).
Metin2 (Not even sure if this one is still alive, but was my childhood mmo).
APB reloaded has an emulator, but not recommended. Tera Online, likewise, has an emulator as well which I have played off and on but more off due to work.
I really enjoy, some 1 call. Eldevin, from Hunted Cow Studios. The mmo, have a lot of potential, but the managers cant do it better. I hope some day have a great renewal.
Regnum reminds me of ragnarok online. The clicking to move, to attack enemies, using the rest emote to recover mp faster. Very RO vibes there
mmorpg... Hellgate London comes to mind
I'm fairly old. When WoW first came out I was intrigued. But I wasn't buy a new gaming pc/pay a monthly subscription intrigued. I had never played an mmo before and the closest I had gotten was watching my buddy play muds when I was a teenager. I searched the internet for mmos and non of them worked on my pc or cost a subscription I wasnt willing to pay. All except Regnum which was all the game was called at the time, 'Champions of' came later at some point I dunno, I never stuck around that long. Long intro to a short story; when I first logged onto regnum the whole concept was so new to me that I just sat there ontop of this starting zone icehill trying ot read all the help guide. There was this dude standing there. Another player like me, the first online real person I had ever laid eyes on in an mmorpg. He turns to me and says 'hi. are you lost?' and I said 'Hi. Ya kinda I guess. I've never done this before' So he says 'I'll show you where to go for 1 gold'. I look in my inventory and sure enough the game had started me with 1 gold. I give it to him thinking this must be some normal sort of transaction in these mmorpg things. He takes it and says 'follow me'. I follow him and we run for 25 sec...to the next hill where there was an npc. 'You go here. Good luck'
It took me 5 min to get ripped off in my 1st mmorpg ;p
23:13 oh, trust me, I am 100%, diagnosedly so, on the spectrum and I agree, numbers going up make my brain feel some type of way
Amazes me the fact that the Servers werent shut down
i've always wanted to try Wurm Online. but my PC wont run it. not sure why.
No mention of Guild Wars 1, sadlife. Even though it was a direct competitor and arguably more influential than FF14
please do visit Elemental Knights Online. Its a 15 yr old japanese game and still running.
It has a wide character feature and skills with a ton of classes.
And also still have tons of japanese active players too. 😊
I can go wash my dishes and hoover up IRL and get a +2 skill in cleanliness
You should look into a game called Gods of Zushin, it used to be called Zu Online and there is a single guy running a server and finishing the translation from the Chinese version. The game came out around the expac of Cataclysm for WOW. I use to play this game all the time, but since it disappeared because of translation and marketing issues, I had to find other games to play. I miss the game and I've never met anyone who's known about it before.
