It was a great game, but it was ran by incompetent people. I was a member of the first Chaos raid to clear Altdorf, and Mythic shut our server down because they didn't want the content cleared yet! Demoralized so many people on the spot. It seems petty, but after all these years, it's one thing that has burned a place in my MMO memory bank and I'll never forget.
i still have two boxes of collectors editions on my shelf, it was indeed a great game and i completely agree it was run by morons, this game had so much that could have been great!
When things are run by mega corporations, they are often not run well or with the customers best interests in mind. With it being free, only 1 server, and free from corporate influence, that shouldn't be a problem now.
@@XPGoblin I mean he leaves out the part where they were exploiting to get the kill. Thats why the server was shut down. They literally CHEATED for it lmao. He probs thought no one was still around who played, but i played in that same guild with him and the leads and the core were running a spell exploit that let you basically double the damage output of your raid. But yeah thats what REALLY happened
I still pop into this private server every other day or so, just to hop into an RvR lake for a few hours. There was something genuinely special about the PvP experience in this game. Something really 'clicked' here that hasn't in other MMOs I've played, something that still makes me turn my head to it. I'm sad that the private server itself is in a downturn, but I'll be damned if I don't treasure every huge fight I can throw myself into when they come along.
@@MakeYouFeelBetterNow Number of players for the most part. I'm not going to pretend I have my fingers on the pulse of that community, but I constantly hear things about GMs abusing power for the most part. Server population hovers around the 700s, higher on weekends. And the majority of players are European, so take timezones into account. Yet somehow, still manages to be a good time.
As a vanilla WoW player who also played Tabletop Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer Online was a dream come true. I absolutely loved it, though imho as a mass-pvp game all the CC destroyed the pvp experience. I remember playing world PvP was just getting knockbacked constantly
Just started the game the other day and by far the best MMO out there right now. Nothing else feels more freeing and fun, community based, and MTX-free. It's not perfection but its damn good and very fun.
I think one of my favourite aspects of Warhammer ROR is the fact there is both instanced and open world pvp zones that people actively take part in, something about low-mid level pvp is just very engaging for me. (probably because I am bad)
Give this game a modern polish and its a REALLY good game ppl would love. No need for lots of ingame cash shit, P2W. Game was so much fun back in the day.
I joined few days ago after tww bored me, 1 very good community ( at least t1-t2 that i experienced) and VERY good mechanic, pvp is super fun and is not like wow, is genuinely a good pvp
exactly, usually i am not a fan of pvp in MMORPGS but i am level 32 squig herder and level only through scenarios (battlegrounds) and RVR. Don't know why but i really love PVPing in this game, really glad i stumbled upon it.
If this game’s PvP had been ready to handle the massive amount of people going at it in world PvP the first weeks, would have exploded for a while The lag and desync was so so so bad 😢
Agreed, that was my experience at release. Had an absolute blast leveling up and engaging in small scale pvp, but then when I reached the high level zones, there were so many people and the servers just couldn't handle it.
I was there on opening and the RVR and scenarios were awesome. Not too many people, just enough. I think the best complaint in the first 1-2 weeks was the clunky graphics, which they fixed in a week or two.
Squig herder was the first mmo class I ever played, and warhammer online was my first introduction to the franchise since as a kid my dad played somewhat often (chaos knight iirc) and would let me play when he was out.
WAR is such a fun game, i had a ton of memories of my childhood into this game. i made friends to this day I still incontact with... Roaming rvr ganking or even just chilling in vent while q'ng for scen is such a cool moment... also rerolling just so I can play nordwatch and tor an roc punting people is just endless fun!
The problem with the original game imo was the way it segregated the community. Between the 4 tiers of rvr lakes and the race variants and scenarios, it basically split people up into about 12 different areas in addition to those questing etc. It was a great game but hideously flawed in this regard. The way return to reckoning allows you to port to the active rvr lake is how the original game should have done it. Also shouldn’t have added scenarios in until max level imo. Way more valuable having those people grinding rvr than scenarios.
I play RoR since 2016 and never even thought about locking Scenarios to T4, that would actually be awesome because t1-t3 has always been impossible to balance
@@templergun6689 the thing that annoyed me was there was some seriously cool rvr lakes tiers 1-3. They rarely saw action because everyone was everywhere but the same place. With a huge chunk just queing scenarios over and over while questing for each no effort PvP. I so wish they’d build a new game and go harder on the rvr element
IMO this RvR is still one of the best, it is not balanced for 1vs1 duels, it is more balanced in group play. And it is one of the few MMORPGs where a Tank make sense and can guard his teammates so they take less damage, what makes it easier to heal when huge damage is taken. That makes Battles longer and more interessting. How I loved my Chopper while getting Guarded and healed. Killing machine :D Shaman heal I loved too, very unique and cool looking Gits :D
It got so boring to me after Tier 1 and I loved tier 1 so much I was amazed and in love. Tier 2+ is just such a Zerg fest. They bottleneck everyone into one moshpit. And the players are to blame too because they all just blob up 40+ T1 was anything from 2v2 - 15v15 way more interesting Oh and they deleted my forum post detailing this respectfully the new player experience 😔 Playing new world right now fun so far
I feel the same way. T1 RvR was awesome, after that it was just a cycle of Run to objective, Die, Repeat, without any sense of contribution whatsoever. Your actions simply have no value and do not matter in such zergs, which just isn’t fun for me. Scenarios are much better, but it’s still tough to actually do anything as a new player against veteran players, which is by now the majority of players.
@@jakubpetras3605 EXACTLY!!!! That's my issue everything was so tangible and impactful. From the battles to the simple objectives. No big siege and bosses. I grab my little box and i bring it back and i can visibly see the bar move. And the last thing I want is another WoW esque endgame where you afk in town and spam queues
@@jakubpetras3605 So I started playing RoR this weekend, and while most of it was fun, I found that the Order side was very PUG and people didn't even want to join warbands. Meanwhile on Destro, it seemed like they were very coordinated, probably on Discord, and they had greater numbers. They also know the game really well. As a new playing coming in, it's discouraging. Veteran players should stay away from tier 1, unless they want to discourage new players from coming in.
yeah i was playing and i noticed this as well the experience after you leave t1 is terrible and it seems like that's not only intentional but that they are actively hostile to it being criticized
Been playing ashes of creation last few weeks, and that game shares a lot of similarities with this. Loved this when it came out, i even won a collectors edition in one of their giveaways
comment for algorithm, because i got into the game by a youtube vid and i love it, there are a lot of people but would be fun if there would be even more :D
This is great to see, I really enjoyed Warhammer online for it's PVP, fairly balanced combat but it lacked a lot of meat. It's like of similar to World of war craft at level 60, when you only get on to PVP, or at least I did. I enjoy these older MMORPG because they have more creativity than they have graphics. I've recently been playing Asheron's call and that game is still going very strong with user hosted servers.
I will add one important note: The tome of knowledge in this game is the absolute best Achievement system/Lorebook ever. The Achivement system in WoW is extremely simple compared to it.
I remember playing this and age of conan while off from WOW This blew me away, public quests and the tome were great but the fluidity of the cast bar, action bar was years beyond WOW so it felt "bad"
WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!! Man I miss the chaos Marauder it was such a fun class if you played rogue type class in WoW or DAoK .. Fun times, might have to give this ago again, it was a mess 4 years ago, half of the teams then didn't wanna work, getting kicked as soon you ventured into RvR
Yeah.... everyone complains and says how "dead" it is, and how NA is dead, and especially destro.... but I joined up, found a guild, and had fun. It's almost 1:30 in the morning East Coast US time and there are still like 10 people in the discord. I've played on WoW private servers that didn't feel this active and the community that is there is very helpful and welcoming. I think if everyone who complains and says how they are NA and wants to play and wants to go destro just logged on there would be more than enough that the issue would solve itself. You can complain about the problem or be part of the solution.
@@naejimba the game being dead is the result of the ROR staff being abusive and toxic to their own players. they have a long history of abusing players inside and outside the game, they are terrible people. there are tons of fans of the game, we just don't play the ROR server because its managed by insane people like an insane asylum.
Back in the days I waited for this game so bad it hurt. I loved it but I had to stop playing after a little while because of financial stability issues. :( Maybe I'll join the fight again someday. :)
It is a shame because the game could have been massive. ROR is trying but it just will never have the resources to make it as great as it should have been.
I picked this up a couple of years ago... no disk drive, just wanted the mini. Looks like it was on point of warhammer fant, seems cool. Also the real WOW killer is Ed, Edd and Eddie online
Any one remember they turned everything pink for a day. Because the chaos lady that died of cancer. She would let anyone in her war band until later in the day when her guild members showed up
I've played on WoW private servers that had worse population; it's not ideal but it's not the end of the world either. There are enough people, but more would be great especially NA players. What is there is solid; good people who are super friendly and will bend over backwards to help you and include you. You see so many people who complain about how they want to play and wish the population was higher, that I feel like if all those people riding the fence logged on then they'd have nothing to complain about. XD
its a huge problem with todays mmos, they are not social at all anymore, you dont sit down and chat in fornt of a dungeon, you dont chat in a dungeon, you dont make friends, there is nothing of that in modern mmos anymore, its all about battlepasses, p2w shops, timegating and extract as much time and money out of the player as much as possible. the golden age of mmos was truly the golden age of mmos.
might not be dead, but it's pretty sick. you can zerg only till a certain point, than you're out. Also population is getting lower and lower as we speack.
Not sure why I keep seeing videos like this recently, which is odd cause the playerbase is at it's all time low as of late which sucks to see, it's the weekend and only 400 people on granted that's still decent for a private server, it's enough people to atleast experience the full game, I use to see over a 1,000, at all times, could be the sudden New World hype or the announcement of Interbellum which is a new War private server in the works, as far as the videos I've seen there's tons more QoL features and new much needed mechanics, figured I'd wait for that server to come out instead of waste time on Return of Reckoning, I imagine most probably feel the same way sadly.
Well it's probably going to be a looooooong time to wait for that other server and there is no guarantee. In the meantime this is the place to get your fix if you want it.
Warcraft annoys me because there are no truly "bad" guys in the Horde, (unless you count the Forsaken) just a bunch of lovable misfits. Warhammer is proof that people want to play the bad guys, because theyre far more interesting.
Unfortunately no matter how much the devs put into the game, the experience is ruined by power hungry GM's with zero oversight - the lead GM is incredibly biased and has banned hundreds of players over personal dislike, getting killed by them, or even for asking advice on the forum. There is zero oversight and a large number of players and guilds have quit the game due to these actions. The game used to have 3,000 active players which has now dropped to 600 as a result.
I figured something happened. I saw videos about how alive the game was but the other day when I logged in there were only 300 people. Not sure if there are better peak times to play but that's pretty low
Do you post this on every RoR video you see to deter people from playing the game? lol. Either I’m crazy or I just seen this comment on another video last week
If only RoR dev team would do things the right way... If only. It's like there's a fire in the kitchen and they are cleaning the bedroom, Non sense all over the place.
It's not what it was lots of players have left the game is being drawn further and further away for what it is its a dark mmo. It's being run on a snowflake server the list is endless but you will see the longer you play :)
I think the mirror system really hurt this game. it puts off a lot of people and did. No one wants to play a weaker version of a class, even if their faction has a better version of another class.
When I gave RoR a whirl a few years back, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they'd done some extra class balancing. The mirrors feel more equal, and the more egregiously OP builds were brought down to where they're no longer fun-killing nukes, but still feel powerful. (Yes, I'm talking about YOU, Bright Wizard.)
Idk, never was a big fan of the whole massive PvP trend. Its messy, chaotic, laggy, you got some fat nerd who thinks they're genius at the game barking orders at you, sometimes you don't even know how you died, and these things go on for hours. If I wanted to have sweaty PvP, I'd play a Moba or a shooter. MMOs are supposed to be chill and about world exploration, character building, environmental ambiance, resource collection and crafting. But instead they use this cheap trick of "ooohhh look at the SCALE, look at how many people are here, don't you feel so insignificant as you're part of something so big?" I know MMO stands for MASSIVE multiplayer, but sorry, not sorry, ain't my jam. If I wanted to congregate with a bunch of people I'd go out to some shitty club on a Friday night. There was an MMO I played a long time ago, and several servers got shut down but were picked up by other companies. Its called WYD or With Your Destiny. The graphics are shit, but you can run multiple accounts on one PC, and the best part is, they have an auto farm system (that still takes some strategy, because the system is janky). I could leave my PC on at home running a tank a healer and an archer farming one mob spawn spot and I'll check in via teamview remote access while I'm at work on lunch break and I can clear out the inventory. You can buy stuff from other people, form parties with your friends, so yeah it's still better than a pure single player Gacha game, but the game isn't barebones UNLESS you're willing to do the massive PvP stuff. There should be multiple selling points of an MMO. It's an online sandbox almost. But too many companies rely on the crutch of massive PvP to sell an underdeveloped game. (Cough GW2 cough) In Guild Wars 1, in order to get an elite skill, you had to find the monster with the skill, kill it while having sigil of capture equipped, then use the sigil on the dead monster to take the skill. You could assign any mix of skills that matched your primary and secondary classes, giving rise to almost infinite combinations of playing a character. In GW2 they removed all that. Skills auto unlock, you're straddled with certain skill combinations based on ur class and ur weapon. Basically just told the playerbase to stop being creative, don't think so much, and once you're done with the slim content of world exploration and campaign, you have nothing left but to jump into World vs World. So much wasted potential, Arena net. I played GW1 for years after the launch of GW2, because I "finished" GW2 in about 3 months.
Believe it or not, it's not super complicated in this game... but it's REALLY fun. Everything is built around PvP and that is what you do to level up, so it's easy to get into instead of most games where you quest and do dungeons and later on you try to get into it and it's overwhelming.
Please note for anyone getting all excited about this (as Ive seen ALOT of small content creators suddenly blitzing TH-cam all at the same time... Im guessing its paid advertising ) What you see is all there is. There is NO PVE groups, NO dungeon crawls, Nothing else. You either go immediately into PVP or you sit in empty zones soloing what quests you can. Unless you're a die hard pvp guy.. its a pass.
for a pvp focused game, the pvp is boring edit > I only experienced t1 and a bit t2 but I guess I have to get used to the game first because it feels old schooly paced. maybe later on things get better
@@OrphanCrippler1 and what does it matter if it is not official? heck I prefer private servers over whatever the greedy out of touch big names put out. Also, it is clear as day you havent played the game cos it is pvp 24/7. now go crawl back where you came from and continue playing fallout 76 or whatever official garbage game you think is alive kek

Any one remember they turned everything pink for a day. Because the chaos lady that died of cancer. She would let anyone in her war band until later in the day when her guild members showed up
is there a good player base it sounds like an interesting game. I would like to start but i am just curious
I've played on WoW private servers that had worse population; it's not ideal but it's not the end of the world either. There are enough people, but more would be great especially NA players. What is there is solid; good people who are super friendly and will bend over backwards to help you and include you. You see so many people who complain about how they want to play and wish the population was higher, that I feel like if all those people riding the fence logged on then they'd have nothing to complain about. XD
bro, why no link to the community keeping it alive :D
its a huge problem with todays mmos, they are not social at all anymore, you dont sit down and chat in fornt of a dungeon, you dont chat in a dungeon, you dont make friends, there is nothing of that in modern mmos anymore, its all about battlepasses, p2w shops, timegating and extract as much time and money out of the player as much as possible. the golden age of mmos was truly the golden age of mmos.
might not be dead, but it's pretty sick. you can zerg only till a certain point, than you're out. Also population is getting lower and lower as we speack.
i love this game , and i already loved it when it released (with all its flaws)
Not sure why I keep seeing videos like this recently, which is odd cause the playerbase is at it's all time low as of late which sucks to see, it's the weekend and only 400 people on granted that's still decent for a private server, it's enough people to atleast experience the full game, I use to see over a 1,000, at all times, could be the sudden New World hype or the announcement of Interbellum which is a new War private server in the works, as far as the videos I've seen there's tons more QoL features and new much needed mechanics, figured I'd wait for that server to come out instead of waste time on Return of Reckoning, I imagine most probably feel the same way sadly.
Well it's probably going to be a looooooong time to wait for that other server and there is no guarantee. In the meantime this is the place to get your fix if you want it.
Super fun; well worth your time.
I love RoR, but hot damn do the "devs" not like to listen to anyone and ban people with a differing opinion lol
i still got my discs :D how can i play?
Not sure if the original discs are any use for the private server, but you can download the game here :) www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/install
Warcraft annoys me because there are no truly "bad" guys in the Horde, (unless you count the Forsaken) just a bunch of lovable misfits. Warhammer is proof that people want to play the bad guys, because theyre far more interesting.
Unfortunately no matter how much the devs put into the game, the experience is ruined by power hungry GM's with zero oversight - the lead GM is incredibly biased and has banned hundreds of players over personal dislike, getting killed by them, or even for asking advice on the forum. There is zero oversight and a large number of players and guilds have quit the game due to these actions. The game used to have 3,000 active players which has now dropped to 600 as a result.
That's really sad to hear. Seems to happen far too often with private servers - a lot of the OG FFXI private servers were ruined from a similar story.
When is next roleplay event?
I figured something happened. I saw videos about how alive the game was but the other day when I logged in there were only 300 people. Not sure if there are better peak times to play but that's pretty low
@@bastinelli443 Yeah the GM's are emotional insecure angry man babies and they destroyed the community because it wouldn't kiss their ass.
Do you post this on every RoR video you see to deter people from playing the game? lol. Either I’m crazy or I just seen this comment on another video last week
w time to play fr
If only RoR dev team would do things the right way... If only. It's like there's a fire in the kitchen and they are cleaning the bedroom, Non sense all over the place.
how i can use ather keys exept numbers can i change them?
If you press escape there's an option for keybinds :)
its great
How do i fix the chat spamming this annoying error code i chat every second?
It's not what it was lots of players have left the game is being drawn further and further away for what it is its a dark mmo. It's being run on a snowflake server the list is endless but you will see the longer you play :)
I think the mirror system really hurt this game. it puts off a lot of people and did. No one wants to play a weaker version of a class, even if their faction has a better version of another class.
When I gave RoR a whirl a few years back, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they'd done some extra class balancing. The mirrors feel more equal, and the more egregiously OP builds were brought down to where they're no longer fun-killing nukes, but still feel powerful. (Yes, I'm talking about YOU, Bright Wizard.)
@Deuzen is correct; you see people still complain about balance issues but the truth is it's WAAAAAY better than the original game.
I tried to download it 6 times only error 😢
This mmo refuses tô die but actual deva keep killing It whit stupid decisions
❤️🔥
Wtf i started playing today and didnt know it was a private server lol
How do I play this?
www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/install :)
Look up Return of Reckoning and you will find the website. Have fun. =)
🎉
wish they made a new warhammer mmo.
Apparently they are doing just that. =)

god I wish I had pc
The only people I knew who played this game were too toxic for WoW, which is a real achievement
That's funny because of how nice the people on the private server are. XD
too bad the private server is run like an insane asylum with insane people for admins.
Its funny i just downloaded the free version yesterday gonna enjoy it
Is it anything like the real game? These fan servers are usually a disaster.
I played for a few months and the game was just not for me
Idk, never was a big fan of the whole massive PvP trend. Its messy, chaotic, laggy, you got some fat nerd who thinks they're genius at the game barking orders at you, sometimes you don't even know how you died, and these things go on for hours. If I wanted to have sweaty PvP, I'd play a Moba or a shooter. MMOs are supposed to be chill and about world exploration, character building, environmental ambiance, resource collection and crafting. But instead they use this cheap trick of "ooohhh look at the SCALE, look at how many people are here, don't you feel so insignificant as you're part of something so big?" I know MMO stands for MASSIVE multiplayer, but sorry, not sorry, ain't my jam. If I wanted to congregate with a bunch of people I'd go out to some shitty club on a Friday night.
There was an MMO I played a long time ago, and several servers got shut down but were picked up by other companies. Its called WYD or With Your Destiny. The graphics are shit, but you can run multiple accounts on one PC, and the best part is, they have an auto farm system (that still takes some strategy, because the system is janky). I could leave my PC on at home running a tank a healer and an archer farming one mob spawn spot and I'll check in via teamview remote access while I'm at work on lunch break and I can clear out the inventory. You can buy stuff from other people, form parties with your friends, so yeah it's still better than a pure single player Gacha game, but the game isn't barebones UNLESS you're willing to do the massive PvP stuff. There should be multiple selling points of an MMO. It's an online sandbox almost. But too many companies rely on the crutch of massive PvP to sell an underdeveloped game. (Cough GW2 cough)
In Guild Wars 1, in order to get an elite skill, you had to find the monster with the skill, kill it while having sigil of capture equipped, then use the sigil on the dead monster to take the skill. You could assign any mix of skills that matched your primary and secondary classes, giving rise to almost infinite combinations of playing a character. In GW2 they removed all that. Skills auto unlock, you're straddled with certain skill combinations based on ur class and ur weapon. Basically just told the playerbase to stop being creative, don't think so much, and once you're done with the slim content of world exploration and campaign, you have nothing left but to jump into World vs World. So much wasted potential, Arena net. I played GW1 for years after the launch of GW2, because I "finished" GW2 in about 3 months.
I recently played a bit. Got a Squig boy upto 16, then you get T1 chicken and game kinda sucks coz there is no T2/T3 pop.
I agree.
The only thing to do at that point are Scenarios or go to Tier 4, find an open group and gain experience/renown.
yess we love RoR
Meh i prefer pve. Pvp just seems complicated
Believe it or not, it's not super complicated in this game... but it's REALLY fun. Everything is built around PvP and that is what you do to level up, so it's easy to get into instead of most games where you quest and do dungeons and later on you try to get into it and it's overwhelming.
It's funny how you just roll right into the game and not talk about the stupid BS you have to go through to download and install.
Please note for anyone getting all excited about this (as Ive seen ALOT of small content creators suddenly blitzing TH-cam all at the same time... Im guessing its paid advertising )
What you see is all there is. There is NO PVE groups, NO dungeon crawls, Nothing else. You either go immediately into PVP or you sit in empty zones soloing what quests you can. Unless you're a die hard pvp guy.. its a pass.
Your second paragraph I can agree with. The first paragraph is completely false, at least from my perspective, but thanks for stopping by either way.
End game is broken last time I looked at this game
for a pvp focused game, the pvp is boring
edit > I only experienced t1 and a bit t2 but I guess I have to get used to the game first because it feels old schooly paced. maybe later on things get better
The real experience is T4. T1 is like kindergarten comparatively. The game really starts feeling right at T3, but T4 is *chefs kiss*.
looks pretty dead to me
region lock. just let it die
...so the game is dead lol. Fan servers dont count for anything
how do they not count when you can play
Few hundred people playing a game is walking dead lol
@@SuperSinSlayer Because they arent official, and the fan server itself is dead.
Please use some common sense
@@OrphanCrippler1 and what does it matter if it is not official? heck I prefer private servers over whatever the greedy out of touch big names put out. Also, it is clear as day you havent played the game cos it is pvp 24/7. now go crawl back where you came from and continue playing fallout 76 or whatever official garbage game you think is alive kek
@@SuperSinSlayer lol...All that cope doesnt change the facts
