The BEST and WORST MMO you’ve never played

  • This is one hell of an MMO full of action, a varied amount of enemies, bosses, loot, and a lot of unique characteristics like a top down like view, is a shooter/bullet hell style looter game, has nice pixel art graphics, AND is a roguelike. The game’s original creator’s Alex Carobus and Rob Shillingsburg stated that the aim of the game was to “shake things up by breaking as many MMO ‘rules’ as we could”. Despite all of this, these factors can also be a pretty big detriment to the game too. So to understand all of this, the good and the bad, you need to know what makes up this imperfect gem of a game, Realm of the Mad God.

    Instantly knew he subject from the thumbnail. RotMG is the worst thing that happened to me, and I legitimately had such an addiction problem I nearly failed out of college. Loot is awful, and it's just not getting what the community really needs. I don't want to relive my anguish from doing so many events to get nothing (one time ran over 100 dungeons during a loot event and got no white bags), so I won't watch this video, but I will say that the operators of this game won't change, it's just horrible. It's so fun until you look to get loot, then it's just the worst.

      Like yeah it's fun learning how to play it and do high level content and stuff, but eventually there's little reward other than gaming the garbage markets and stuff. Going after rare endgame equipment is such a risk too, and losing a character right after getting one of those loots is devastating.

    For context, the IP issue is by design to prevent an exploit called multiboxing. It's a really old technique where a player would control 10-20 characters at once, be unstoppable, and prevent everyone else from getting any loot

      @@greyw0lv Nah it's actually to prevent muling, using a mule means that you have separate accounts to store loot on because you only start with 2 character slots and 2 vault chests so a total of 32 item slots (after getting enough fame to buy the 1x chest and 1x character otherwise 16) if you mule you get extra slots for free, but by them putting a strict ip ban on it you can't get extra free slots and have to pay them money for more. In a game where 300 slots isn't enough it's very predatory and that's without mentioning stat pot storage

    As a tester for the game, I've had the misfortune of seeing various designers let go that would have brought some seriously needed changes to the game's more core mechanics.
    As an ex-tester once described it, Realm tries to be both a roguelike and a grindy MMORPG, which do not work together on a fundamental level - and it's understandable this wasn't immediately caught. It _was_ made for a game jam, after all.
    But alas, we now answer to management who sees players as customers, and running constant events = constant revenue...

    as a rotmg player of several years and several 1000s of hours spent, this video was amazing, it covered all the great aspects and (most) of the bad aspects, but keeping the narrative positive throughout the video. the only thing you forgot in my opinion, is the annoying discord meta that comes with endgame dungeons due to their monotony and/or difficulty (probably since you haven't been doing too many), but besides that, I don't see how this video could have been better. thanks for shedding light on out community :)

    I am only 14 but I have been playing this game since I was 4. This game has been a massive part of my life and no matter what I have been through Realm has always been there for me. I have taken a few long breaks from the game but it always somehow draws me back in after a few months to a year. The rush of getting a white bag is insane, the dopamine a long time player of this game receives from seeing those few pixels is crazy. There is no other game that can cause me to get that excited, I think that’s why people get drawn in to the game after not playing for years even. This game is insane and there is no game like it out at the moment, and I am so glad that the community is growing.

    Great video! Couldn't agree more on certain topics in the video as a veteran of the game. Some things like the skins loot boxes etc. Are just things you get numb to when you have played the game for as long as some people have. It's just that new players get this feeling of being left out when they see people with high gear and cool skins and they think you can just buy them.
    Also some servers are usually very dead but it's good to check out other servers and find the one with the most amount of people.

    I think one of my main problems with the game at the moment is actually do to the games reliance on discords to run end game content, the monetization of dungeons to having incredibly exclusive runs gatekeeping content from new players and existing players by having requirements that can be challenging or time consuming. being forced to sit in a discord and listen to a 14 year old child tell me how to play the game lest i be banned from the discord and restricted from being able to do end game dungeons.

    As an OG of the game, this video hits all the right points of how I feel a lot of the time and it’s kinda why I haven’t played at all in the past year. I’ve done pretty much everything there is to do and and whenever they release new stuff I was mostly over it in a week or two. Right now I’m just waiting for enough changes to happen so that when I come back it will feel like a whole new experience. A couple things that I don’t fully agree on is that I truly believe Deca cares and is at the very least making an effort to improve the game in many ways, while they haven’t been perfect and have made so big mistakes in my opinion they often don’t get the credit they deserve. I know it’s a low bar to be doing more than Kabam did but during their era they literally forgot to end the winter oryx castle event for like 2 years and there wasn’t even any chests or extra loot to be had from it, I had almost forgotten what it was like to not have ice everywhere. The other part I don’t fully agree with is the seasonal characters. It’s definitely a good thing and something I’m looking forward to doing when I come back. For a lot of end game players we frequently make PPEs (pro player experience) which are characters with self imposed downsides that are literally the same as the seasonal character’s downside. I’d prefer if it would stay a seasonal character forever and just not be able to trade with seasonal characters from later seasons, but overall PPEs are one of my favorite ways of playing the game that kept the content alive for me for so much longer.
    Great video though it was very enjoyable

      Other than those ways, you can save up 15 of those ST orbs you get from daily logins and use them for a random ST item in hopes you'll get the ones you want. You could get them from chests rewarded in the daily logins or for doing daily quests (specifically, the white and purple ones). Other than that, you really just have to grind out the specific enemies or bosses that drop the ones you want. Popping a clover before the fight will help your odds too

    I've played RotMG like 8 years ago when I was a student.
    It was a pain when you don't invest a little bit real money in because the default storage(Vault) size to obviously too tiny.
    Recently I backed to this game, bought some storage and character slots during Black Friday sales.
    This game instantly became enjoyable.
    In many RPG games with hardcore features like PoE or Diablo, they are very exciting for sure but it is a huge pain when you die.
    So many hardcore RPG games force you to redo the whole champion story again and that is very boring.
    While RotMG don' have such problem, the begin of the game is the end game, do anything you want or you like.
    Also it is a huge advantage and boost when you got enough storage.
    You can make a ~30~60% strength of your previous dead character and restart.
    The early game pain is avoided with your preparation.
    Also I feel farming dungeons is not a tiring thing to do here compare with other RPGs.
    Since this is a hardcore game, every step may be your last step if you don't do it carefully.
    I can't find another MMORPG that makes me exciting everyday.
    So many of them makes me tiring when you starting pursuing max rolled characters because you know you'll eventually get it when you spent enough of time.
    But in RotMG, you got both GREAT and HORRIBLE surprise during this journey.
    P.S. Compare with mobile games nowadays, buying storage and character slots are extremely cheap enough...

  • @Toadster115

    Personally, I found the grind from 0 to 6/8 always the most fun. Why? Because you're constantly getting stronger, getting better gear, good loot, etc. When you reach max stats and have t11 gear or so, the only chances to get better gear are from super rare drops that I just don't like to grind. Not to mention, I have barely any sense of community at all. Everyone is just doing discord raids or chest events and they get 10 potions and much better loot than I do organically farming in the godlands, doing dungeons and killing event gods. And I've done that grind so many times I don't get any enjoyment out of it anymore. Even IF I get someone to accompany me they have outrageously overpowered pets and maxed characters so they just steamroll the entire thing. So I don't play the game at all. For that and so many other reasons (shitty microtransactions, DECA, cheaters, etc).

    Hey there decade old player here, the only real way to know if the game is for you is to download it (free) & try it for yourself. But be warned, the game is not noob-friendly, after the criminally vague tutorial, they throw you into the deep end & expect you to stay. If you do not know anyone irl, or do not befriend veterans, you will die. many many times over. But as anybody who pours thousands of hours into a game they love can say: once you get good at the game, secure legendary loot to make you feel like a raid boss, & understand/accept the game's simplistic mechanics...only then does it truly become addictive & imo one of the best MMO's of our time.

    I like this game for how unique it is among other MMOs, like you mentioned. I'm a pretty patient person so the permadeath doesn't bother me so much, if I get frustrated I just take a break. If anything I like that it gives me an excuse to try out new classes. I also tend to take the level-up grind a little more slow on purpose so that I have a chance to play the lower level dungeons too; especially because I don't really engage with the game's community, so I don't feel pressured to catch up to anyone. I only ever group up with randoms, or my friend who got me into the game in the first place. I fully acknowledge and agree with how the game has huge issues, as well as many design flaws that have even ruined the experience for lots of people, but I've made my own kind of fun with it in this way, so overall I'd say I really like it.

    Vet here, currently taking an extended break from the game for a multitude of reasons, I'd just like to state this;
    RotMG is a fantastic game... mechanically. A LOT of the games ideas are very intriguing and unique, but more often than not, fall short. The current owners are comprised of some people who care, but a vast majority show they really don't know about the game, or even seem to care about the playerbase as a whole. Having put thousands of hours into the game, playing since the paladin used a tome just like the priest, it's safe to say I have some attachment to the game.
    I personally am still salty towards DECA for various reasons. One being they did not give me the same support treatment they gave others (Being vague saying I *could* give something away, only to email a month later and say I could no longer perform said giveaway) or refusing to give me an 8 year inactive name, but having given multiple other players names that were inactive for only about two. A cherry on top was that their former community manager *accidentally* accepted me into closed testing, when he didn't mean to. STILL confused as to how you mess up like that. There are a few more things they've done, but I think you get the idea. This isn't even going near the MULTITUDE of egregious and predatory realm gold purchases.
    All in all, I still thing RotMG is a fantastic game, and I truly do hope it succeeds and continues to be updated. I just don't see myself returning anytime soon.
