I liked Trimurti, then something happened. A random guy gave me a bunch of gold. I assumed it was the goodwill of a more experienced player, it was not. Turns out the gold was cheated in. I spent some of it on expanding my inventory space and some of it on upgrade materials for my weapon on my monk. Devs deleted all of my items on every character I had and from my bank and reversed all of my inventory expansions. They even took away the items you get when you make a character. They were so incompetent in dealing with the situation that my monk even got softlocked because I was on the second map with no gear or money and it takes a bit of money to teleport back to the lower level map where I could have possibly built my character back up if I had the motivation for it for some eldritch reason. The devs ruined the game for me.
people often complain about companies like blizzard, but there's a multitude of reasons no one has caught up to them, and it's because of stuff like this i think
@@KAI3Kuroseiga That's just how the god forsaken capitalist economy works. Once a company becomes big it stays big and then the shareholders (who know nothing about games or how to make them or even that it takes effort for games to be made) come with their delusions of infinite growth and make games and the conditions of workers worse. Activision Blizzard deserves all the shit it gets and more. There's a lot of crunch and a lot of random layoffs (to make the imaginary line appear to go up), it pays 30% of the industry standard for devs and the like and there's a very weird culture there with things like "someone's breast milk got stolen" and "the CEO harassed someone into suicide" and general frat boy moments.

I remember Salem from maybe a decade or so ago when there was ~30 concurrent players at a time. I played about long enough to start being able to hunt deer. The issue with the game though was there was a farming exploit that made some older players have huge stats that got patched out so newer players didn't really have hope to catch up. I remember one player in particular that let several people attack them simultaneously and the attackers ran out of yellow bile (can't attack anymore) before the defender ran out of health. As far as permadeath it probably wasn't common. You could die to animals or players and still respawn. IIRC for a permadeath to happen the player that kills you had to perform a ritual over your dead body.
Salem actually had a fresh server launch recently. The current developer seemed to have put in some real effort into revitalizing the game, but unfortunately it fell rather flat. Some factors were outside the developer's control (owner of the game's Wiki was AWOL, while there were people with admin/maintenance access they didn't want to revamp the Wiki without permission, so new and returning players were left with massive out-off-date Wiki for a game where you really need one) there were also some instances of less-than-optimal planning and/or knee-jerk reactions. While the criminal system had already been nerfed a bit, the ability to put other players into "stocks" at the NPC town was still so powerful that the PvP meta became about "don't attack the enemy, try to force them to attack you so you can collect their crime scent."
Neat. Yeah I imagine the game has changed a lot since I last played. Shame about the wiki though. The obvious solution would be to start a new wiki but I imagine with an already small playerbase it's probably tricky to find a new owner (not sure if they'd have to pay domain hosting costs or whatever). Considering my experience with the patched farming exploit any knee-jerk reactions wouldn't really surprise me.
I have some weird nightmare that as you travel across one of these abandoned MMOs, you suddenly encounter another player, one who has waited here for years, for you to show up. "I've been waiting here for you!" lol
The annoying thing about dead MMO's is all they have to do is add Bots to make up the game play. When you see a static / dead MMO it's heartbreaking - so much work went into creating the thing, why not just make it a workable single player? I used to do online tutorials in BF1942, and it could be hours before a "real" player came along - I was perfectly happy finding ever more weird ways of killing the bots. Especially now with reasonably clever AI - a lot of these old titles could easily come back to life. You could Single Player an old MMO with decent AI. Not a sentence I thought I'd ever type but....
Angel Dust or PCP is a disassociate drug originally marketed as a sedative for surgery. It was ill suited for this type of use, as while the person seemingly feels no pain they are very active physically.
The problem, in my opinion, with the MMO model is that it never matured from it's early roots during the late 90's early 2000's. In fact, it regressed a bunch. MMO's had a lot more detail and complexity that you just don't see today. The MMO model has also become stale since it did not progress to a modern model like other non-MMO's did. In fact, you can find MUD servers which are very niche today that have higher modernized gaming models then current MMO's. So It doesn't surprise me that so many MMO's failed that released less then a decade ago.
(Sighs in Old Fogie) I remember mIRC muds. Ah the good old days. I got temp banned for 8 hours so I would go to sleep heh. (You have been BANNED. Duration: 8 hours. GO THE FUCK TO BED).
I think this boils down to the success of WoW that lead to all these boring theme park mmo copycats. That and the fact that being online and hanging out with people from across the globe doesn't feel magical like in the web 1.0 days.
I really love seeing you play old MMOs i played over 140 of them I played a ton . and i continue to play... I documented what i played and a good 70+ have been in graveyard . keep the videos coming !
Waydot - My girlfriend and I recently found your videos and absolutely love your content, and hard work you put into your reviews & Dead MMO's. I've played some and recognized plenty from the list. You're commentary is so soothing & relaxing which is so welcoming after having a rough couple months. Please keep up your hard work!
Starwars: Galaxies is probably one of the greatest and well beyond its time. More RPG MMO. Guilds that became entire cities, players playing politician leaders, and an endless cascade of trades and professionals of immense renown. It really was a Sandpit game in every conceivable way. It was just built when computers couldnt keep up with the demand of the game at the time.
@@firvulag The flying though, that was truly something. The sheer staggering size and expansive of outer space around each planet. If it wasnt for the map hud, you could actually get lost out there in the black and struggle to get back.
I played Salem in it's haydays, and what you say about the despair of being killed by someone when you had build a lot of skill is correct. There was a group of russian griefers just running around killing people, just because, and it took a dedicated group of players mostly of 5 months to track them down and kill them enough times that they left the game for good. I was a backup to the group of hunters, helping them generate the food and things they needed to raise their skills, so they would be stronger than the russians. We had a city of 25 active players, filling a rather large plot of land. The thing si that if you don't pay the upkeep on your land, you lose the right to it, and slowly all your stuff will start to deteriorate. That is why you came across nothing on your travels, everything that has been has deteriorated over time. There were also 3 servers at the height of the game, but because the developers was redoing something major in the code, they had to reset the servers completely (this was all in the beta days of the game), 2/3 of the playerbase left as they lost everything they had and had to start over, and that killed the game.
I played the HECK out of Tantra online XD Such a fun game, though back then it was extremely graphically demanding and it had a massive community, private servers, etc
Karos looks like a Shaiya clone, but Shaiya was a Rappelz epic 3 clone. There were a lot of Rappelz clones back then. Rappelz is still up, but there's only a handfull of player in it, and all are in hidden village.
I tried Trimurti once before and liked it, my only gripe was there is virtually no explanation from the developers on what to in game. I think people are trying the game and just thinking "I'm stuck here" and then just giving up because the game doesn't explain anything and the Steam community which is usually full of advice and guides is dead. I spent ages trying to find a mob when I first tried it but couldn't find the mob, I asked on Steam but no help there. I eventually got the answer from the discord channel, but I am sure there are a lot of people not using discord who just think, why would I bother continuing.
I think now I will skip this game, hopefully they can make some decent improvements. Constant dying because spells don't hit or they just don't register, target running at you and you are either clicking on your spell or pressing the hotkey, but all that is working is the basic attack that constantly misses. HP and TP regeneration is virtually non-existent and even drinking a health potion doesn't save you.
Funny, i just watched the previous video on this and when i saw this one i was so confused, like " i just watched this and it was from 5 months ago with 300k views, why is it suddenly no views released 4 minutes ago" lol
@@Thelos90nope. Its just a series ive been doing, you can find the other videos in the playlist. TH-cam seems to struggle connecting them for some reason
Stash is enjoyable but it’s sadly one of those games where you need either a few more people or a good chunk of change to unlock all the professions since you can only get 1 profession.
My very first MMO was in 98 called The Realm. 26 years later it's still up, but few people play. My second was Dark Age of Camelot. Early 2000s. Still there but totally vacant of players.
Will you consider doing Villagers and Heroes? An old indie mmorpg over a decade old, it still gets regular updates and isn't dead but id love to see you try it out Love your vids!
I still go back to Tibia every now and then. The game looks so bland and simple on the surface, when in reality it is crazy how intricate it gets. Its a true MMO, someday i hope they develop a true 3D version of it, because there is nothing else like it.
Never played a dead MMO, I did play MMO's that died overtime, I still miss two from time to time : Warhammer online and Pirates of the burning sea. I get my fix in GW and gw2 now a day.
MMOs will eventually go the way of shopping malls. They'll still exist for an older token player base but they'll be barren and empty, with content development having ground to an effective halt. Younger generations will have found a different form of entertainment. While I'm not certain how, I suspect AI will have a lot to do with it.
hey i watched your introductionary video about guild wars 2 when you first launched and it made me wonder, after seeing it again on my feed today, if you ever became hopelessly addicted to it? ive now relentlessly played it for past 6 months and clocking in almost 900 hours
This Trimurti game original name was tantra online, ive played from 2001 to 2013 until the final official server shutdown. The quest system is really boring for today standards but pvp its where it shines. But you need to get at least level 30 to start PvP. When WoW was the MMO, this was one of f2p alternatives we had. The game was great.
The Infinite Black on mobile is an interesting one. Used to be a huge player base with multiple servers. Terrible moderation and management of the game brought it down in recent years. Maybe only 50 dedicated people still play.
I used to play Rappelz like 15 years ago, it was a fun game but the devs sold out and sold the game to different publishers more than a few times and it killed it. I think at one point it had over 20 servers world wide and about 20,000 players
I miss Acherons call2. I was part of the beta team and was still there when they pulled the plug. There were still 100s of thousands of players but bethesda sold out.
played Karos a lot in the old days , its not dead , more or less a lot of ppl still plays , but in private servers mostly , it has a lot of good mechanics , pretty good game yea
i saw Rappelz on the list in the intro and felt a pang of sadness. I once ran a massive guild on that game. owned dungeons, etc. good times man. good times.
Awesome! Best loot ever! Awesome! Best loot ever! Awesome! Best loot ever! Awesome! Best loot ever! I can literally hear the annoying ranger behind you talking. She sounds....really loud. Glad you kept your sanity
When you look at games like these, you start to wonder why Runescape is still alive. OSRS is nostalgia bait but that gimmick wears off within a week of playing once you realize theres no social aspect anymore and the mechanics were already outdated in 2004.
I hate gender-locked classes, they're stupid and a bit sexist. If a woman wants to be a warrior, she should be allowed to do so. Likewise, if a man wants to be idk say, a druid, he should be allowed to do so. I really don't understand why people keep incorporating gender-locked classes and just allow us to be either sex for any class and it kind of annoys me that it keeps popping up in MMOs and really any game that includes classes in general.
Love the Video, If your at all interested in a game like Salem you should check out "Haven and Hearth". It's made by Salems original developers and is much more updated, its still very brutal and convoluted but its extremely rewarding. It's also much more active at peak times, with more then 1000 concurrent players at the start of the most recent world.
there was this cool mobile MMORPG i used to play, Durango Wild Lands. the server shut down but it was the most interesting gameplay element i enjoyed, from the classes to the crafting.. the mobs where you get resources from are dinosaurs, (wish it was monsters instead) but it was ok.. its sad that no other game ever got inspired from it.
Try the original Ragnarok Online! though this might be more 'alive' than the others you've played. The vast majority of players are bots.. There are official eu/sea servers, although any player will tell you to play a private server as it's more true to the original mechanics, quests, etc.
Have you ever did a video over Warframe its a pretty great free mmo (i believe) several years of free content and even the premium currency can be acquired by trade weapons and other items.

This Trimurti game original name was tantra online, ive played from 2001 to 2013 until the final official server shutdown. The quest system is really boring for today standards but pvp its where it shines. But you need to get at least level 30 to start PvP. When WoW was the MMO, this was one of f2p alternatives we had. The game was great.
Karos actually looked like a good game out of all the other games.
Boiling down hours and hours of boring games to 30 funny minutes is definitely worth a like from me.
The Infinite Black on mobile is an interesting one. Used to be a huge player base with multiple servers. Terrible moderation and management of the game brought it down in recent years. Maybe only 50 dedicated people still play.
Please continue this content series, this is interesting
I used to play Rappelz like 15 years ago, it was a fun game but the devs sold out and sold the game to different publishers more than a few times and it killed it. I think at one point it had over 20 servers world wide and about 20,000 players
I miss Acherons call2. I was part of the beta team and was still there when they pulled the plug. There were still 100s of thousands of players but bethesda sold out.
love this series sm
Subbed because of the ending music! Just wow.
Yessss✨I’ve been waiting for you to make another one of these love it so much. Great video🙌
the whole "hardcore survival MMO with permadeath and whatever" are kinda destinied to fail.
You may have spoken about it, but I recommend Animyst
Very bizarre multiplayer game, fits the parameters
played Karos a lot in the old days , its not dead , more or less a lot of ppl still plays , but in private servers mostly , it has a lot of good mechanics , pretty good game yea
I love these kind of video see me as a new subscriber cant wait for more and imma watch your old ones too thanks man
love this series! also try wurm online :DD
Waythot was great man!
i saw Rappelz on the list in the intro and felt a pang of sadness. I once ran a massive guild on that game. owned dungeons, etc. good times man. good times.
Really? tis the age old story of a lot of these games to be honest
lol that game was the gateway to my computer gaming played it in 4th grade now only private severs
Rappelz was the best. I was in Arcadia guild
10/10 love it !!!!😂❤ Try SHAIYA
My favorite MMO was Dungeon Runners. Unfortunately, the servers were shut down
Thank you, todays episode made me laugh out loudly severeal times! Keep up the good work.
You should try dragon nest, it's not dead on the SEA server but i don't know how is it on the outside of SEA
its sad that trimurti looks almost exactly like aq3d
Stash actually looks like it would have been very cool and have a little charm if it was playable
Yeah definitely’ would love to see a modern take on it.
Next maybe do a vid on abandonware. Planet Explorers comes to mind.
The thumbnail made me think of Roma Victor and I forgot that game existed back in 2009!
Probably weren't supposed to kill the horses, duh.😂😂😂
Awesome! Best loot ever!
Awesome! Best loot ever!
Awesome! Best loot ever!
Awesome! Best loot ever!
I can literally hear the annoying ranger behind you talking. She sounds....really loud. Glad you kept your sanity
What makes you think I kept any semblance of sanity? 😂
you should try 4Story next
I love how youtube has marked this as a town of salem video (its also probably why it ended up on my homepage)
Karos Should be called "Guild wars goes to Gulag" :P
I had a feeling Salem was going to make this list.... and it is!
When you look at games like these, you start to wonder why Runescape is still alive.
OSRS is nostalgia bait but that gimmick wears off within a week of playing once you realize theres no social aspect anymore and the mechanics were already outdated in 2004.
I have played the Salem for a few weeks :D :D :D hell of a game ;)
You could review Pax Dei in the "Dead & Abandoned MMOs" format again now :P It went from over 10.000 to 200-500 players since release :P
It doesn't exist anymore except in emulator form but I miss EQOA an old PS2 game.
Fantastic game.
trimurty seems like a brighter version of tantra
You should checkout runes of magic, not sure if it's still being played or not
I hate gender-locked classes, they're stupid and a bit sexist. If a woman wants to be a warrior, she should be allowed to do so. Likewise, if a man wants to be idk say, a druid, he should be allowed to do so. I really don't understand why people keep incorporating gender-locked classes and just allow us to be either sex for any class and it kind of annoys me that it keeps popping up in MMOs and really any game that includes classes in general.
I understand what you're saying....but is it really that big of a deal?
@@Ponkan45 Depends on who you ask and whether or not the classes are at least balanced.
@Ponkan45some people lose their minds when a game has a woman protagonist so sort of yeah
Love the Video, If your at all interested in a game like Salem you should check out "Haven and Hearth". It's made by Salems original developers and is much more updated, its still very brutal and convoluted but its extremely rewarding. It's also much more active at peak times, with more then 1000 concurrent players at the start of the most recent world.
Tbh there are plenty of dead godly and amazing mmos that are 100x better than popular mmos today like dark age of Camelot
I notice you don't cover Ultima. I literally multi cliented and made billions uncontested on production servers.
there was this cool mobile MMORPG i used to play, Durango Wild Lands.
the server shut down but it was the most interesting gameplay element i enjoyed, from the classes to the crafting.. the mobs where you get resources from are dinosaurs, (wish it was monsters instead) but it was ok..
its sad that no other game ever got inspired from it.
They are websites, you know 😅
@@Cola2013_1 they who? who are websites?
Trimurti looked like aq3d
And Concord which is a bit like OverWatch is shutting down 2 weeks after it went online.
Do uh... you not know what woodchips are my guy? o.o
NOT WAYTHOT LOL
Try the original Ragnarok Online! though this might be more 'alive' than the others you've played. The vast majority of players are bots..
There are official eu/sea servers, although any player will tell you to play a private server as it's more true to the original mechanics, quests, etc.
Subbed....you remember it and play it so we don't have to thanks WD :)
Have you ever did a video over Warframe its a pretty great free mmo (i believe) several years of free content and even the premium currency can be acquired by trade weapons and other items.
Waydot, can I leave heret wo suggestions? I love your videos, and would be nice to see your take in this two games: Warframe and Digimon Online
last game fonts and style is reminiscent of aion
The abandoned games are like abandoned malls.
Thats a great analogy actually
@Waydots Liminal space feel. Especially when you go back to a server that used to be a hive of action, to find its dead and abandoned.
It's just a chatbot you can find one in any website that doesn't care about user support
Near future Neverwinter will be part of this .
trimurti looks like free realms
I've had my steam account for almost 15 years and I've never seen an account alert... You hacking my dude? xD XD
Lol nope, thats just from failing to make a payment on one of my many many… way too many game subscriptions lol.
@@Waydots subscriptions, subscriptions, subscriptions, what's next a subscription to breath air...oh wait taxes... Huh the really made everything a subscription 😂😂😂
Just finished the video and subbed!
sadly that game is still thriving just need to find the right server
