Step from the light, now, letting the dark
Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes

MMOs are a dead genre. Until internet gets good enough to support any kind of advanced gameplay they're just gonna be watered down RPGs.
Only autists can't understand playing a game with your friends being appealing.
You say that like MMOs are the only multiplayer games in existence when in fact the multiplayer they offer is subpar compared to other genres which don't sacrifice gameplay in order to support "massive" player counts.
Name another RPG where I can play with custom characters with 4+ of my friends.
Hard RPG? Divinity
Action RPG? Monster Hunter
Divinity OS maxes out at 4 players.
You said 4+ not >4, cheeky c**t.
4+ friends. So by your logic I'm setting my friends up on a playdate and then jerking off in another room.
4+ means 4 or more.
Diablo 2 meets your >4 player requirement.
4 friends doesn't include me though anon
Fair enough about D2.
NTA but Diablo 2 doesn't have custom characters
You say that but one of the most common complaints about MMOs is the MM part. Lots of people are desperate to play thr game solo and it's one of the most commonly asked questions prospective new players want to know. I've made almost no progress in Stormblood because I was so used to duty support giving me AI companions. Frick playing with other people. I've had homosexuals kick me out of a dungeon because I got a cutscene and didn't want to wait for me to finish it. The second they realised this was my first time I was booted.
>Frick playing with other people.
Wrong genre then, homosexual.
Stop trying to ruin MMOs you Black person.
>Blade N Soul
I was actually really having fun when it first came out, was playing it everyday for like 2-3 weeks, and then it just got boring. I was really into the story and combat though, also I'm weeb trash. It was actually super popular in NA when it first released, though the HYPE died off pretty fast.
I had a lot of fun with it but I quit because I had to relearn my rotation for the nth time because they decided to give me a new skill at max level and I just got fed up. Was pretty fun leveling up though
does it run on a toaster?

The last 9 years or so people have said the same shit, yet it has outpassed all other asiatic mmorpgs. Take your meds 9homosexual.
let's assess how it's doing
>3 Black folk are spending $1500 per month that makes kog put out the bare minimum to keep the global server up
very alive
i agree with all of these except gw2, that one sucks too
it's ok, the journey to 80 was nice but there's literally nothing to do at 80
So you dont even know about game having mounts I assume? (Since you can unlock them only @80)
Its amazing how GW2 gets praised for its mount system yet EQ2 had it years before that.
Playing GW2 on and off, but I'm sort of waiting for season 1 of living world to be fully released and just drifting about doing random fishing.
But almost everything there is to do in GW2 becomes available at 80? I think it's the only game with horizontal progression that's been around as long as it has, there's so much fricking stuff to do at 80 if you haven't been playing the game for 10 years like me (and I haven't actually done everything myself, because I'm a gigacasual who will never, ever beat harvest temple CM).
could never get properly immersed in gw2 but it's not a bad game
you can fairly easily get even ascended ger if you haven't yet
after that it's just a matter of practice, it's neat that you can tackle everything relatively easily(gear wise), I don't mind the alternative either but it's nice to have a game like this too
The entire game opens up at level 80, you can do whatever you want. If anything it's the other way around: there's so much stuff you -can- do, it's overwhelming for a completely new player.
Yeah, everyone hates the game all of a sudden. People are way too critical towards WoW in my opinion: they get bored after a few months because they don't have anything to do anymore, but instead of quitting they keep playing and playing until they are completely sick of it.
If you're bored, just unsub and wait for new content? I don't understand why everyone's so obsessed with spamming the same dungeons and raids over and over and over for a chance of a +2% stronger weapon. If you're bored, quit: of course the game becomes a miserable experience if you don't play anything else for months.
Classic proved the game has always been like this. FF14 and every other themepark MMO is the same, even Yoshida itself said it: quit and come back whenever you want. Do WoW players need someone else to tell them when they're bored?
WoW (and to a lesser extent other gear treadmill games like FFXIV) punish players hard for not playing constantly. Weekly lockouts, daily grinds, constantly increasing gear power, etc, all mean if you aren't on the grind, you fall behind, or at least it fosters a feeling that you do. It's part of the sub fee business model, they need to make players *feel* like they should be constantly logging in, and in game systems do.
>gear treadmill games like FFXIV
The gear treadmill in FFXIV is an illusion when every raid patch comes with its own set of crafted gear. It's only there to help casuals clear the current raid tier.
Yes, but why do people care so much. "Oh no, I'm behind, now I'll only be able to beat Mythic+18 instead of +19! My life is ruined!" And the power level gets soft-reset each major patch anyway, and completely reset at the start of each expansion.
I make completely new characters each expansion, and after 10-15 hours of leveling I'm at the same exact power level as Asmongold. Nothing you do in WoW is meaningful in any way, nothing "sticks", what's considered BIS now will become garbage in a year. Just play the content, have fun and get out.
>hard for not playing constantly.
I started playing WoW ~3 weeks ago and I am already KMS and doing only +15~17 keys. I don't raid though, no time for that shit.

Best combat in any MMORPG.
The combat is so fun, weeb overload
Turtle wow.
Best thing I've played in years.
can you summarize the changes to normal wow a bit? did they change the leveling progress for example? i saw some stuff on their website, but theres not really info on how the client values are.
>built in cash shop into the game
>sells 36(!) slot bags and other bullshit items
>good
Jesus frick, I knew it was bad, as I have a friend who plays turtle wow, but he never told me it was that bad. Jesus fricking christ.
Your scam server is never going to take off no matter how much you shill it. good luck with conscription though homosexual
FF14 with my wife and her friend (and her husband). It's fine. I was huge into FF11 end game in college with Zilart / CoP. I miss the old survival/exploration MMOs used to have. It's all story or combat mechanics now. Which are fine, but mystery / exploration / discovery are great and lacking.
>I miss the old survival/exploration MMOs used to have.
agreed
no other place in any other mmo felt as atmospheric as altaieu
This
it was a breath of fresh air to have other players near you in older mmorpgs but now most of the time its a headache since most players are antisocial troons so they're just going to be near you taking any resources/monsters while also refusing to work together or communicate at all.
Yeah, different anon, but play ff14 with my wife as well. Old ffxi gay that played for a decade. I miss old school exploring, thought New World was gonna have some of that but it's trash man. I just wanna play some shit again where I feel like I'm journeying.
PSO2 NGS and Champions Online on the side. Causally doing dailies and Urgent Quests while playing in the salon.
MMORPG is a solved and dead genre
It is solved in that 100% of the playerbase is either: minmaxing metaslaves or ERPing troons, very few people in between
It is dead in that there will never be another MMO that isn't monetized in some way outside of a basic subscription model; there will always be some form of pay to win or cosmetic cash shop or something else along those lines.
It's over. It's time to stop. It's time to move on.
The glory days are over.
It's finished.
Say your goodbyes.
Why are you a currrent MMO player if you hate them?
I'm an ex-MMO player trying to save your lives god damn it
they want to die with their MMO. Let them be. It will always be a part of them.
Reread the OP post
Private servers are almost universally trash rife with either topsite voting benefit bullshit, donation benefit bullshit, admin favoritism, or a combination of these.

RO private servers were some of the most illegal shits out there.
Some of the top RO private servers had GMs who would exchange gear for nudes from underaged chicks -- then again, that is probably most private servers.
This also, I really miss when you just bought the base game and subbed every month which gave you access to EVERYTHING, this also meant you had a wide range of cool weps and armor to discover while leveling but now modern mmorpgs have regressed to the point you look like a fricking hobo or bland as frick for every level because the entire art team budget is being used on microtranscation which for some reason stupid fricks think is ok.
>well uhhhh its only cosmetics thats ok
LOL cosmetics were a major part of the adventuring process in mmorpgs from the start, sucks nogays had no clue what true mmorpgs were and gave the greenlit to shop sell armor appearances.
Microtransactions are too lucrative for devs to ignore
Correct, but I'm going to keep playing SWG regardless.
Legend, Resto3, or Finalizer?
Legends and Finalizer.
I played SWG for dozens of hours
When does it become an MMO?
It felt more like playing Daggerfall but there are players in cities than playing an MMO, which was fun but it's supposed to be an MMO
I guess when you start communicating with the people around you
So it's the same as joining a Skyrim discord and just talking to people there?
If you need to be guided by the nose, try WoW or FFXIV. Certain cities are going to be more populated than others. You can engage in trade, go to the Cantina and get buffs or socialize, you can pick up a profession like BH and hunt players. There is no real questing, the world is built by players, you have to go out there and discover shit and try to make friends. If that's too difficult to comprehend then maybe you should just go play Skyrim and sit in discord.
>dude just talk to strangers for fun like it's Ganker
some of you Black folk are hopeless, all MMOs have their shortcomings but you actively make it worse for yourselves
what kind of MMO experience do you want if you refuse to engage other people?
>dude if you want to play an interactive game rather than one where you just run by people and say 'cool hat' you refuse to engage with people!!!
You are hopeless, then. Not the same anon who replied to you, but engaging with people and learning how to break the ice is important. Yes, idle chatter is a drab but can open avenues to greater things for you. Forgive yourself and learn to open up a little, the world is a beautiful place.

For Legend, when you hit max level. Join the discord, sadly.
>It is solved in that 100%
imagine worrying about this, lol
> very few people in between
imagine believing this, lmao
honestly I missed when MMOs had the balls to have open pvp and lose items and exp on death, Tibia was fricking amazing back in the day it's a shame we'll never have that again
losing items on death is garbage, you could DC because of various reasons and lose your items
that's not fun
staking items in a duel, however, is fine, and i guess losing EXP is also ok, but leveling is kind of a weird concept
>losing items on death is garbage
git gud and it also encouraged not being a social moron which WoW and post WoW mmos don't do which completely defeat the purpose of being an mmo
This never works and there is a reason these MMOs are dead today, they only worked back then because they were the only ones on the market at the time. Doing open world pvp leads to one group snowballing with little chance of other groups retaliating. No amount of "getting good" will change this because gear almost always dictates your potential in MMOs and not actual mechanical skill. 0 people want to deal with the 500 poopsocking autists that control the servers. Everyone who wants open world pvp says that because they happened to join said snowballing group or happened to start playing before other people did and had a time advantage. I guarantee those same people would be shitting their diapers and be the first ones crying on the forums if an open world pvp MMO came out next month and they got mogged by the inevitable streamer simp guild that would steamroll the server
None.
Eve Online is a stinking zombified corpse.
SWG is dead
Earth & Beyond is cold in the ground.
Freelancer Multiplayer is dead don't talk to me about those mega-bloat mod servers, they are trash
What
posted is correct. MMOs are an insanely expensive game to not just develop but to support. The only way any established company would be willing to make one is for the game to function as an mtx vehicle. Unless a studio is willing to take on that risk and the game comes out which is a true MMO based on a subscription model, AND manages smashing success the way WoW did, no studio will ever touch the genre because it's financially infeasible.
I'm looking to the indie dev scene to produce the next good MMOs that don't play like they're cut from the same old Standard Model of Proven Profitability for Video Game Product that is prevalent. They have the leeway to take that kind of risk, and the general jadedness which people seem to have for larger and more established dev studios leans in their favor.
gw2 has a good system where they have a cosmetic cash shop but you can trade gold for that currency
>MMORPG is a solved and dead genre
It would never "be solved" if PvP was the focus of MMORPGs and there were regular item / balance changes.

A waste of cool character designs, they should just wrap up the moronic 4th paths and repackage it as an offline beatemup. Same with Closers.
Also Koikatsu isn't an MMO.
The characters in the koikatsu screenshots are from an MMO, so technically it fits the criteria. I can agree that all the female designs are literally elder god tier but the charm for them is to stay online.
Frick Closers tho, no korean MMORPG has killed Elsword at all.
Elsword has killed itself, and Closers is actually more fun to play. Also I absolutely fricking love the character selection menu in Closers.
It also helped that the events to get promo costumes in it were MUCH more common, nor did it frick with base hair on promotions at all. ElsKR just went and ruined CH with that shitty uniform, and even though I had the CH promo in my wardrobe, I didn't have the hair (in part my own frickup but still). Ultimately I got sick of this shit in both games, so I don't play either of them anymore.
>Elsword has killed itself, and Closers is actually more fun to play.
LOL
LMAO
Those 3 Black folk are ENOUGH to even satisfy the korean server as well, since it directly feds other KOG games, like DFO and Maplestory.
You have to be insane to still play this screenwipe fest with powercreep that was already excessive over 6 years ago. Closers being younger and having a third dimension helps, although it's obviously heading in the same direction.
There isn't even a point in playing for the designs when the promo sets are still temporary for some fricking reason.
>You have to be insane to still play this screenwipe fest with powercreep that was already excessive over 6 years ago. Closers being younger and having a third dimension helps, although it's obviously heading in the same direction.
The game is still fun, that's all what it matters. Not a sane mind is trying to just pvp the shit out of it, people actually has to play the game. The grind is NOT AS SHIT as they tried to do with Rigomor in 2018~2020. They lowered a lot of requirements and keep doing events to lower them even further.
The designs are great and people can play barbies or dolls with it, specially with the robutt. Sure some people like me like mostly the original design, but nobody really asks for the regular clothes of the characters, since you can keep the hairstyles if you make an accessory or hair invisible.
Your point is irrelevant as long as this guy exists in the game, frick you Black person.
He is browner tho.
He is also canonically, the death reaper himself.
oh okay i forgot that existed
i uninstalled, dodged a bullet there.

how do people enjoy this game? I played it for a tiny bit back in the day in like 2001 but it was complete garbage compared to juggernauts like EQ/UO/DAOC etc, finally decided to really dive into it a month ago and the world is really cool, the old mmo vibe is cool but for the same reason I barely played it back in 2001 the actual gameplay is the worse in the entire genre, it also lacks any meaningful player group content at least for the main core of the game, runescape is not a mmorpg at all, it's on par with dark souls where your on a single player path but you happen to see online players doing shit around aka ghosts who rarely interact with you gameplay wise.
For me it is an ancapistan wall street simulator and the only mmo with quests good enough to even be considered mediocre.
>how do people enjoy this game?
MMOs aren't for enjoying
Not him but I enjoy MMOs but that's because I play actual MMOs
Then you're playing them wrong
Good
Why are you angry anon
For me, its an RPG that is still playable after you finish the story. Most RPG games, when you finish it, you hit a wall and just quit or kill the superboss/get all ending then quit. MMO last as long as the server is up and you still get to play your characters. Customization is also important and MMO tend to have a higher level of customization of character creating and building than your typical MMO.
literally the only MMO in existence to ever get quests right.
nah, that's be classic Everquest
Nah that'd be GW2
osrs is good in that it attracts socially crippled spergs so you get to semi-regularly experience awkward but rewarding social exchanges that end as quickly as they started. similar mmos have fallen into the trap of not having a grand exchange so they become discord games with tons of mandatory social interaction that occur completely independent of what happens in the game.
Game is pozzed as frick and mods are getting uppity and doing shit underhanded to subvert the polling restriction as much as possible because they view the community as an obstacle needing to be pushed away instead of the railing that allowed them to survive after their frick-up. I'm not confident of the future of OSRS at all
reddit has already voted osrs into another endgame treadmill mmo
QRD?
cool frick off
I tried getting back into GW2 recently but completely forgot how to gear up.
I fricking loved leveling in GW2. It was level cap when I got bored and quit. Same with ESO.
P99 Everquest and sometimes Anarchy Online retail doing low lvl froob shit.
Rarely hop onto UO but my nostalgia for UO is as a kid with zero knowledge of macroing and just wondering the world so I end up quitting that quick everytime because everyone is afk skilling, while I remember literally hitting GM swordsmanship slow as frick by just literally playing the game.
BnS was cool, then in the later levels they FORCE you to join a PvP faction just to advance the storyline.
Forget that shit, man.
Any TERA private servers that noobs can get into? Never played it before.
I'd also like to know this. I tried some private servers but they apparently don't do dungeons or anything? It's just leveling to level cap solo?
Most TERA private servers has a level skip item because everyone is in endgame.

nothing but albion, the game is underrated honestly. ashes of creation which is the next step in mmos has some similarities to albion
I'm waiting for HorizonXI
I'm low on fumes. Blue Protocol is my last hope
How's Project Gorgon these days? I remember playing it back in the alpha(?) when it was free but now it's a significantly priced purchase. Would my character be wiped?
not sure about the wipe but gorgon is pretty good if you can look past the shit graphics - there's a lot to explore, there's actual secrets and knowledge feels like it's rewarded, build customization is pretty interesting, socialization is encouraged by the game design, however it is very grindy and a lot of the game revolves around inventory management so you kinda need to have the right type of autism. it goes on sale for $20 sometimes and for that price it's definitely worth it imo, there's a demo you can try too
Gorgon is probably the only modern MMO trying to be an actual world you can explore and find shit in. Wish it wasn't perpetually dead though.
How would the game be any different if it wasn't 'dead"?
I could convince my friends to play it 🙁
It's been confirmed by the devs that there's not going to be any character data wipes, economical or skill wise
So you can go ahead and spend 1000+ hours on your character without fear(like I did)
I'm still waiting for an old school LoL pserver and keeping an eye out for a good Maplestory pserver that isn't ran by a israelite that's designed to sell P2W features and items. I'm kinda done with MMORPG's, there's only so many times I can clear wrath prog.
I've been dabbling in LOTRO. Beautiful world, lots of book details, relaxing exploration. Quests aren't bad either. Just got to Moria and enjoying the shift from Eriador.
When do you start playing with other players (either in dungeons or group quests)?
To be fair, I haven't much. I found a guild that's willing to come along for the occasional dungeon and there's a fair number of old vets that are always kicking around in chat looking for something to do. One of the few world chats in an MMO that I haven't turned off.
>playing MMOs in 2022
What the hell is wrong with you people, are you REALLY that much of a crack addict?
I'm waiting on ashes of creation - after that inevitably fails I'm completely done with MMO's.
My problem with MMOs is that thr gameplay is too basic. Even turn based JRPGs tend to introduce nee mechanics and enemies at a good pace to keep things fresh. With MMOs you have your rotation and you just do that ad infinitum. You might as well just use a macro that hits 12345 on your hotbar for you over and over while you focus on movement. Is it really so hard for MMOs to have interesting combat?
Atm im playing gw2, prob the most fun ive had in any mmo.
My fricking gf got me to play GW2 with her and I was really enjoying it and then she suddenly didn't want to play anymore
Game was pretty frickin fun man, buttons felt good, I miss it
Any good Blade and Soul private servers if I wanna do dungeons and shit?
I tried FFXIV during the callback event but it's still complete shit to no surprise. Tried out Orbusvr earlier and it's pretty fun
XIV but I am so fricking sick of Party Finder.
When does FFXIV get good? Every time I finish an expansion everyone goes "oh no that one sucks the NEXT one is the best trust me :3" and its fucning annoying. On top of that, every side activity I'm interested in is apparently pointless and not worth doing because there's shit on the Moon that is either way more effective or renders it obsolete.
>ARR is fricking ass
>HW is mostly good
>SB sucks for the most part, the steppes, a couple dungeons, and the raids are the only
good shit
>ShB is pretty good
>EW was 2 expacs crammed into one and it fricking shows
Honestly it's not worth playing, especially if you didn't play play base game and expacs at launch, they dumb down old content way too hard
shadowbringers is when the story actually gets good but then it gets bad again right after so you're basically just playing for that one expansion
and i'm not sure what content you were trying to do but you generally don't have to worry about content being obsolete, pretty much all of it drops stuff that is useful somehow, the best part of the game is how it keeps old content relevant. endgame gear can be bought off the marketboard or obtained with an hour of grinding a week so you don't really have to think in terms of whether something is effective enough or worth doing
I was leveling beast tribes and botany. Then I was told there's no point when EW has better gathering levies and beast tribe shit means absolutely nothing. I was also trying out gold saucer stuff but apparently something replaces it later or something? No one will tell me what it is though, it's a "surprise" and I should focus on doing story content only to find out. People on the novice network have even told me to not bother raising any other classes and do it later since it would just slow my story progress. So I've been playing monk this whole time and I'm honestly kind of sick of it.
Speaking of which, whats wrong with beast chakra? Multiple people have warned me to not do any job quests after ARR because it will frick up my character or something? I've been told it will make me weaker and just give me more busywork to do to maintain my current DPS so I should save myself the effort and ignore it.
Monk used to be fun but they fricked it hard post SB, apparently they fixed it again but I don't know I couldn't go back. You won't find out until later since they neuter skills for lower levels so you aren't flooded with 80 skills at end game so anything below like lvl 70 on any class is going to feel dull as frick.
>beast tribes
old beast tribes aren't relevant for making gil, sure, but they're a good source of xp, good for levelling crafters (they sell mats you'd otherwise have to buy off the MB for more money) and they drop exclusive mounts/minions/glamour which are really the only rewards worth caring about in the end. if you don't mind the questing there's no reason not to get them done
>botany
leveling with EW leves is more efficient but who fricking cares, its botany, leveling it is absolutely trivial and can be finished quickly no matter how you do it, you shouldn't hold off on leveling it now just to get 10% more XP/hour at some point in the future
>was also trying out gold saucer stuff but apparently something replaces it later or something? No one will tell me what it is though, it's a "surprise"
sounds like they're just fricking with you because i have no clue what they could be talking about, gold saucer never gets replaced and its always worth doing because the MGP shop gets new rewards added pretty often
>People on the novice network have even told me to not bother raising any other classes and do it later since it would just slow my story progress
moronic mindset, unless you have friends who want you to raid with them asap there's zero reason to rush the story, it's not going anywhere. play how you want, forcing yourself to play a class you dislike just to speedrun the story is making the game unfun for yourself for no reason other than minmax autism
also ignore novice network it's a glorified general chat for the absolute biggest spergs in the game and anyone who knows what they're talking about isn't posting in there
>beast chakra
i don't play monk so i have no clue, sorry anon
You are getting shitposted on anon, you should stop listening to whoever is telling you this shit and just do whatever the frick you want instead.
Instead, look at the game like a tree, each expansion is a series of branches that climbs horizontally and vertically, but in the end they lead nowhere, so the only way to get further up the tree and to see more branches is to keep climbing up the base of the tree (The MSQ). Also, if you didn't start having fun/liking the story around the Heavensward expansion, you should just quit since every expansion after is just more of the same but slightly higher quality.
without any context to those answers I'd say you're being fricked with.
It gets good after 2 years played
Do what you want who cares if it's obsolete I spent the last 4 days doing ARR fishing. Why? For a shitty golden glowing fishing rod that has been outclassed immensely. But it fricking glows so I want it.

Been playing GW2 with some friends that joined in once it got released on Steam.
Been having a great time.
+1 for GW2, gr8 mmo worth revisiting if u only played at launch
Slowly grinding out all my relic weapons in ffxiv... before I put them all on pause for the EW relics in a few weeks.
I played Blade and Soul when I had a real shit computer and could barely run it and still had a blast. Now I have a pretty powerful one and wish I could actually play it back in its prime, but wouldn't dare touch it now with how convoluted and dead it is.
I've been avoiding every modern MMOs since I completed XIV at Endwalker launch. I'm not gonna lie, I'm starting to look forwards to playing XIV again once 6.3 drops but I think 90% of modern MMOs are complete shit (even XIV to a certain extent), so I've been spending my gametime on playing Turtle WoW, CRS and GW1
>I think 90% of modern MMOs are complete shit (even XIV to a certain extent)
Fricking have a nice day in the most painful way possible Barry
XIV is just modern WoW but with less shitty design decisions, it still has all the problems every modern MMO has and if you can't see that then you are either blind or will fully ignorant.
>XIV is just modern WoW
So it is shit.
It's mediocre, like I said, it's as if you take modern WoW and cut out about 90% of the stuff that sucks about it. Depending on how much you disliked the stuff that they removed, XIV can swing wildly between a 4/10 to a 8/10 depending on who you ask, but you'd have to like atleast some parts of modern WoW to like XIV in the first place
>with less shitty design decisions
I think that's debatable and I say that as someone who played FFXIV from 1.0 release to Endwalker without quitting. Though I finally did "quit" in Endwalker. I don't log in and actually play anymore but I'm still clinging a little because I log in to keep my house. I think if there's no reward for being subscribed for a decade straight (decade from ARR, since they don't count 1.0) I'm gonna finally pull the plug and just leave the game completely.
Your skin texture didn't load
Nah I just made her brown because almost all of my characters are white.
I'd be here for a while if I listed them all. I think the game needs significant changes to it's design philosophy at this point and possibly even needs another 1.0 to ARR type of just destroying everything and rebuilding the game again.
Engine
Combat as a whole
Class design (along with how they keep dumbing down/simplifying everything)
Dungeon and Raid design (everything is the same, I don't want to see another damn hallway or another circle or square platform with a boss in the middle)
Gear being boring as hell and a constant vertical treadmill where the gear you put effort into obtaining becomes worthless in 3-6 months
100% predictable patches that never surprise at all anymore
The actual world being completely pointless aside from taking you from one cutscene to the next during the MSQ
PvP being complete garbage and only done in instances, but that goes hand in hand with the garbage engine and combat in a way. Though I think PvP was at it's best in Heavensward personally, when classes had their actual PvE kits but with some extra flavor and adjustments
Speaking of instances, the game is entirely too instanced. I can't go back to that after Black Desert.
I could list more but I really don't want to spend a chunk of my morning listing my gripes about FFXIV. Though I will add in one more thing and it's that I think their monetization of the game is absolutely disgusting. Charging a subscription, charging for expansions, and then charging for extra shit in their real money cash shop on top of it, PLUS exclusive items tied to overpriced merchandise that ranges from $50-$300 is obscene.
To top it all off, there's no way to get any of this shit in-game with Gil. Meanwhile in BDO you can get a significant amount of what you find on the cash shop directly through the in-game market, and they happen to just give away shit for free all the time during events too.
Part 1
Part 2
Square Enix's management is peak stupid and I think they're running the company into the ground. FFXIV being rebuilt from the ground up after coming out as a failure restored my good will with Square Enix and then they just pissed it all away over the years with how moronic they've been. I don't think I'll buy another Square Enix product again after all their bullshit at this point. I don't foresee them redeeming themselves in my eyes again unless there's some kind of miracle at this point.
I do admit I feel bad when I talk shit about FFXIV, because I know some people really love it, and honestly, I really loved it too. I kinda miss how I felt about the game, and the people I grew close with on it. I can't do it anymore though. I'm not gonna continue to put up with their bullshit and doing the bare minimum while fleecing their fans/players.
Hey, mostly reasonable points. Some I disagree with but can see why you'd think that way. Hard agree on SE management though. No bloody idea what they're thinking, or whether they're thinking at all
what are your gripes?
>even XIV
lol
old school runescape
Not an MMO
yes it is zoomer
That's like saying minecraft is an MMO
lmao ok moron
Nice rebuttal, kiddo
What MMOs or private servers should I play if I like dungeons (and sometimes BGs and raids)? Preferably games or servers where you can actually play with people while leveling rather everything being at level cap exclusively but I can work with the latter too I guess.
wow is basically the only game where getting into groups with random people is feasible on any level, even on private servers
gw2 has dungeons which you can do during leveling but those haven't been a very popular form of content since 2013ish
RoR, CoH and XIV are the only other ones I can think of
Some private tera servers give you endgame stuff right away so you can just dungeon run.

Maybe when I stop being too lazy to set up the local server.
I used to play LOTRO, any updates on that?
LOTRO was always pay to win trash, and pretty egregious pay to win trash at that
It used to be a fricking Pay-to-play MMO with no cash shop, atleast look up the wikipage before you start shitposting anon.
No, the game has been in a perpetual maintenance mode since about a year after F2P happened and even before that the game got content updates at a snails pace. I used to play it while it still had a monthly fee and even if they went back to that I would still find it kind of hard to recommend thanks to the janky combat and PvE design, the monster PvP was a great idea though and it was what kept me playing for about a month after I got a single character to max back in the day. The music and housing systems were also waaaaay ahead of their time and it's pretty funny seeing just how many MMOs have copied those two things wholesale over the years (one of the noteable ones being XIV that just copied both almost exactly like how they functioned in LOTRO)
>It used to be a fricking Pay-to-play MMO with no cash shop, atleast look up the wikipage before you start shitposting anon.
That was before 2011 when I was playing it, that means it's been p2w for over a decade
They recently made all of their quest content free up until level 85, back in April. Right now, they are running a coupon code, until the end of October, for a bunch of post-85 content, as well as three expansions (Mordor/Minas Morgul/War of 3 Peaks) for 99pts.
I started playing it with my buddies recently. It's pretty comfy, though us being tolkienhomosexuals and me being a fan of generic old timey fantasy in general improves our subjective experience.
What’s a good maplestory like game? The combat is a lot of fun but for some reason game just isn’t clicking.
Waiting for HorizonXI atm, got banned from Wings for whatever reason and Eden just isn't the same with the multiboxing
dude I fricking hate multiboxers like you wouldn't believe
eden was the first bit of XI I played in like a decade and people will just join your group and be fricking terrible on both characters
>nah I'm dualboxing so I'm only doing rolls on my cor and songs on my brd, I wont pull or dd
>oh sorry you all died, fafnir window was open had to tab out
>no I can't afford gear on 2 characters that shit's expensive
suck my fricking dick, legitimately killed the game for me
Finding a Dunes party on Eden is really hard if you play in off-hours. People just run alts and power-level through everything. The grind to 12 is already very tedious so I couldn't be bothered to play anymore and quit.
Is there a XI server that doesn't do multiboxing? Game sounded interesting but that sounds gay.
Currently Wings but it's apparently dying or dead or something, I don't play it but something about a mod meltdown
Like the other guy said, HorizonXI is coming in I think December and it's a no multiboxing allowed server, but it's also going to do some custom balance tuning so people have reason to play other jobs and add custom content and gear with 75 cap horizontal progression in mind
Might be cool if you're down for that kind of thing, I'm really excited about them not using level sync, I fricking hate people sitting in the dunes forever, or above 55 everyone sits at leypoint forever, it's so dull not going from camp to camp
wait what? no level sync on Horizon?
source plz
DDO and some FFXI.
Is DDO fun if you can't get any friends to play it with you? Can you make friends there?
You can make friends either by joining a static group or a guild. Since you can control when you level, people often form groups where they level together. Typically, if I look at all the people online sorted by guild, they're all within a couple levels of each other with the exception of those really big guilds. I have a static group I play with for 2 hours every Monday for a couple years, and then I play on/off on both my main character from different server and the temporary perma-death server (which is up right now).
One problem DDO does not have is a lack of people in public groups to play with during the leveling process, thanks to the reincarnation system. You should always be able to find a couple groups in your level range. The issue with this is that those people typically have run those quests dozens or hundreds of times and built up a lot of strength in the characters resulting in them doing the quests on difficulties that are very challenging for you and at paces faster than you could do comfortably. You would want to go into it with a good leveling build and share a lot of "I'm new, please take it a bit easy for me" with groups you join.

wotlk with my gf but it's going slow since she's kind of casual
having a really good time though
My friend is trying to get me to play another Ragnarok private server, but I don't know if I have it in me.
Aren't they all shut down by Gravity or something?
I was playing BnS a month ago and actually loved the combat but quit because the game was too dead. Its depressing being the only player running around and no one talking in the world or faction chat.

Jesus that looks zoomer af
Thanks for the suggestion, my gf and I like playing stuff like this, but tbh it's basically a roblox game kek
ESO is the only mmo I keep coming back to. Unfortunately I haven't been able to play an mmo since I was in high school for more than a couple days, I want to kill myself anons. I envy notch so much, he can go on gaming binges and no life as much as he wants.
The grass is always greener on the other side, sure he has money but that brings vultures with it.
Hi notch
@613712902
yeah, there's no use in replying to you
keep seething
If your experience is basically the same whether there's hundreds of thousands of active players or 2 players it's not an MMORPG.
>he's still seething about useless semantics
give up, clearly MMOs are not for you, move on and play something you actually enjoy
I like MMOs though, so why would I play something else?
then play your MMOs
why do you care so much what other people consider a MMO, what's your endgame? to get more people to play with you? or you just need to be 'right' about this one definition?
in either case, people and devs are too stuck in their ways and will keep making/playing MMOs similar to the ones profitable nowadays, there's little you(or I) can do about it sadly, but it is what it is
it's not a genre where you'll see many passion projects taking risks
Dude why are you seething so much
If you enjoy it it's fine but it's not an MMO if you're soloing it

Currently playing Guild Wars 2.
I'm debating if I should buy Dragonflight or not. Two of my friends will play it, and the start of a new expansion is always fun for at least month or two. But I don't feel like paying €50 + €13 for WoW.
Long term, waiting for Ashes of Creation like everyone else.
Literally none of my friends are playing it which is weird since it's the first time I've had less than 50% of my friends trying a new expansion and now it's just straight up 0.
@613714828
>no u!!!
I'm not soloing them, though, I can just hit up people to run shit with(something that's inconceivable to you it seems like)
I'm sure you enjoy your MMOs thats why you're baiting with this stupid shit in a lot of threads
>no u!!!
Why are you so mad? Does your personality depend on this? Move on if you're having a bad time here.

frick this stupid bullshit
I finished ff14 trial. It feels like MMO players are scared of single player games and having fun, holy shit how do people put up with this outdated ass concept (MMO) and let themselves be milked at the same time ?
Project alfheim.
I've been playing FFXIV for a few years now.
I was playing PSO2 (JP server) on the side too, wand Etoile was very fun.
I gave NGS a try but it didn't really click with me.
gw2 feels incredibly aimless to me as a new player. in the "usual" mmos like wow or xiv there is a clear intended progression but gw2 is more freeform and that scares me
conquer your fears anon
how though
i made it to lvl 15 and it told me i could do the mainstory quest so i entered this frickhuge human city did the quest and now it wants me to go 4 zones away its too much
sounds like adventure
I hate t(rash)ab targeting combat like you wouldn't believe. Desperately need a decent action mmo. I wish new world was good. AOC and riots mmo can't come sooner.
>thinking those will be better

Ill be playing star trek online until the day it shuts down probably
Black Desert and I guess if you count at one, Second Life
Black Desert for gameplay
Second Life if I wanna play around with a fetish character

I've been playing GW2. Current project is the Spinal Backpack. Love how it looks on my Bladesworn.
I play RO during work hours, it isnt demanding on attention if you farm solo.
I downloaded Sword of Legends! I saw it on Steam. It's go time! I remember wanted to play this long ago.
Did it go p2w after a full year of flopness ?
>goyimforge
it's ultra p2w.
I return periodically to FFXIV to do the new content and quit again.
I've played RO for like 2 weeks and I'm already sick of it (again).
Now I'm giving OSRS a spin. As a first time player I must say it has the old MMORPG feel/jank, but I can't say the game is good by any measure - especially when they're prodding me to buy a membership every 5 steps.
I even thought about playing WotLK classic, but the thought of giving Activision-Blizzard $15 to play a game I've played to death 15 years ago makes me sick to my stomach, so I'm holding out for now.
I wish there was a good MMORPG on the market, but there isn't. FFXIV seems the best from what's available, but it still has many, MANY problems.
>Plays the demo version of OSRS without membership
>Complains
We did it boys, we found the most braindead post today. Speaking of which, I installed Halo 1 PC Trial edition today and it SUCKS, only one map and a 10 minute single player level? Awful game
But that single map is Blood Gulch, I remember tons of people playing just the demo for Blood Gulch alone
Also it has exclusive dialog for Johnson
I want a new MMO like the original Guild Wars
I wish..

EVE & Star Trek Online
Was playing SWTOR earlier this year, but I let my subscription run out & haven't played since.
I like STO but I had to uninstall and walk away because I wasted a ton of money on it. I want to know how the whole Mirror Universe V'ger thing plays out, though.
Oh I understand that. I've spent a decent amount of money since 2011. And honestly I'm sort of ready for the Terran Arc to end, it's not that bad, but I feel like it needs to wrap up soon. Supposedly there are either 1 or 2 episodes left in the arc.
best value was getting a lifetime sub like 10 years ago
Wesley Crusher the Terran Emperor appears out of nowhere bwahaha :DDD:D:D:D not even kidding
I knew Wesley was in it but I didn't know he was the emperor... but thinking on how shamelessly the game puts old characters in high positions I really should have known
I wish there was a decent ArcheAge pserver.
Not that ruski owned garbage p2w one.
Are there any sites/communities for GaaS private server emulation?
Every server for every specific title obviously has its own site, but I'm looking for one that discusses it in general.
Rate My Server exists for Ragnarok Online server, don't know anything similar for any other game
I mostly recently tried retail Allods (F2P server), burned out by level 30.
It was okay, I guess.
Might pick up retail LOTRO again because they are presently doing another "free content" push
- basically every quest pack up to the most recent expansion release for 99TP

Tried to get back to BDO via the season character, but kinda got filtered there, gonna try again next season and delete my existing failed character so I can just focus on one
Been thinking to get back to NGS but I after I got another M2 SSD, playing on HDD sucks and getting BSOD just from playing normally is scary
Been stuck with ToF, and already kinda felt like replacement NGS for me, wish it's just normal mmo though
Waiting for Blue Protocol which is going to be released next year, and with ToF 2.0 being able to backload doing shit at the weekend, ToF would by my secondary MMO
Anon... I have bad news... Nexon is being ultra extra supercaligayoulous moronic... they stop developing on project BBQ and shifted it towards soulslike gameplay, because the morons at Nexon thought we want that...
>Project ACK
JUST FRICK MY SHIT UP
I'm surprised how nobody went to play BnS after Tera died
They don't compare. Played years of TERA and BnS does not play at all like it. Its cool looking, but 10 times easier IMO
Just cruising along in BDO until something better comes along.
What's better, starting in the old levelling zone or new snowy one?
Depends, if you're a new player first char starting on the old zone is better, but if you make an alt and already familiar with the game the new intro is good for introducing the area (especially if you haven't checked it out yet)
Completely new. Guess I'll stick with the character I already made
Why does NexusTK feel difficult to get into? I've tried both official and BloonsTK.

The english private server went down recently: atlus sued the team because someone paid/bribed someone for items or something.

When you realize this kind of corruption is pretty much ubiquitous to private servers is when you realize you need a new hobby.

Currently working on 100%ing FFXIV. It should take me at least 3-4 more years I think.
I have nothing to play
what do/did you like
I used to like WoW
there's xiv if you're not burnt out by it and gw2 if you want a weird hybrid of tab target and action
I'm dealing with major depression daily. It won't stop. Games don't even feel good to play anymore. Nothing.
I want to get one of those runescape games since I can play it on my tablet at work
What one is more mobile friendly and more solo friendly?
Will play it on PC too obviously
I hate MMOs and the people who play them.
>Blade & Soul
They ruined the game beyond repair by downgrading the engine from UE3 to the mobile version of UE4
The game doesn't look like this anymore?
Nope, it even seems like they reduced the poly-count for the models
Welp, into the trash it goes then
I'm surprised this game hasn't died yet
everlook project SOON
I reinstalled GW2 when it came to Steam but I dunno, none of the classes really click for me which was one of my big issues years ago. It's a shame because the world is pretty fun to explore.
What's this Age of Wulin/Wushu looking game?
I'm interested.
Blade and Soul. Don't bother, fell prey to the usual KMMO self-sabotage
Weird request, but is there a single player game that imitates MMO grinding experience, willingly or unwillingly?
I recall having fun mindlessly grinding equipment/money/exp, but did not gave a rat ass about social aspects of the mmos. It always felt forced and awkward.
Kingdoms of Amular is exactly what you want
dragon age inqusition
wow classic super casually, think im over the genre until they release another game with competitive faction world objective pvp like Archeage where wins and losses have flow on effects. Grinding to grind has become stale
I don't have time for osrs. i don't have shit to do in pso2 ngs. i don't want to force myself into playing ffxiv because of sub. tried getting into gw2 since i owned the base game for several years, it's fun but le horizontal progression is confusing since i just explore the map/do story/trials. gw2 couldn't stick with me unfortunately but it's a good alternative.
I'm liking toram online
