We thought of this idea on /v/ to play through random niche and obscure MMOs we vote on. Preferably games that 4chan hasn't already played together so the experience for everyone is the same. The rules are:>vote on a game>whichever gets the most votes gets played>make a dedicated general for the game on /vg/ and play it for a month>end of the month vote a new gameFeel free to suggest more games be added to the list and suggest rule changes.https://strawpoll.com/NoZr3jbAey3
You know how in anime sometimes Japs are shown playing these weird old-fashioned MMORPGs? What the fuck do/did they play irl during those time periods? Did they have their own pool?
>>1276858How many votes should we wait on till a game is decided?
>>1276864We were suggesting 20 votes at least but I think we should wait a day for the votes. In the meantime we can talk about the MMOs in this thread and encourage others to vote on a game. We can also shill this thread every time there's an MMO thread on /v/ to get more anons interested.
>>1276858Maybe a 'pick 3' format would be better? Picking just one from such a huge list will split the votes maybe a bit too much.>>1276862Ragnarok and FFXI were the big ones over there AFAIK. I suppose there were some games that never made it to west or were quickly forgotten over here but I'm not sure if those would've been big enough in Japan to influence anime.
I'm watching this thread with interest. I can't vote though, because I don't know enough about any of these games, lolz.
>>1276874Google up the names and look at the images which one seems cool to you. No need to stress about it.
>>1276868In hindsight I should've used a smaller list that we gradually update every month. I don't wanna redo it now but when it comes to the next strawpoll I can edit the list to games that got votes but weren't the played games, so that way we know what games anons do wanna play.
>>1276858As someone who spent a lot of time on Atlantica back in the day, don't. It's basically the proto-BDO with minimal party play and socialization. That said, the jrpg-esque combat was pretty unique.
>>1276858I think you should expand upon the rules more. Does a game we already played get removed from the list so we can't revote it? If a game only has private servers and there's multiple ones who decides what server we play on? What if we all decide a game is so shit and boring that we give up before the month ends?
>>1276891Games already played can't be voted again but anons are free to stick to playing that game together if they're not interested in playing other games. For games with multiple private servers we'll just have to decide in the thread which to play based on our research of the server, like which server has a bigger population and better content. If we all decide a game is shit and pretty much all of us drop it way before the month ends then we'll start up another strawpoll. I'd say we give a game a week or two to decide on that.
>>1276891>If a game only has private servers and there's multiple ones who decides what server we play on?In some cases they will even have multiple official servers.For most games it would make sense to go for the most "classic" experience as long running MMORPGs tend to get weird and often receive updates that trivialize the early game, kill partying and such. Though we could also vote on the server.
Way too many options I'm not even going to bother voting
VOTE PHANTASY STAR UNIVERSE
You should touch up on the design of this list OP. Make it look better.
>>1276928I'm not good at image designing but I'll get around to it eventually unless someone else wants to make it look better.
>>1276916NOOOO VOTE FOR TRICKSTER
>>1276858>https://strawpoll.com/NoZr3jbAey3No way tales of pirates, that takes me back poorfag days playing every free MMO I was offered, perfect world I remember toothis seems like a fun idea if there aren't too many spergs or whatever, hope something comes of it, I'll bookmark this placeso when do the votes get counted and when does the playing start?
>>1277157>so when do the votes get counted and when does the playing startAfter a day or if a game gets 20 votes at least. After that the game gets a general on /vg/.
>>1277229Sounds good, I'll try and make a nicer spread for it in photoshop, might take me a while because I'm dogshit at it.
dnd online is a bad option, after a week you'll hit a paid content wall. the first 10 hours are cool but then you're hard stuck without expansions Requiem: Desiderium Mortis would be a good addition, i remember playing in early 2000s and it was quite unique
>>1277288>Requiem: Desiderium Mortis would be a good additionI tried playing that on steam and it just wouldn't work for some reason. Had problems like no volume and getting stuck on the startup screen.
>>1277245nvm got 3 games deep then accidentally closed out without saving, too inept sorry
I like how all the games are low spec that can run on toasters. I wouldn't be able to play if you had games like BDO on the list.
I voted Trickster. Let's go Trickster bros.
>>1276858I've been waiting for this thread, glad to see it got made. can we add another rule for no discord, or if we did only for voice comms?>>1277440voted Trickster as well, let's get it>>1276904maybe we can do a tournament style vote for the top picks if they're too segregated
I also voted for Trickster. Looks comfy and grindy.
>>1276916PSUbros...not like this...
Checking this out from the SWG thread on /v/. It's probably unlikely SWG will be the voted game but I'll still play whatever does get voted. This sounds pretty fun.
>>1276858MORE VOTES FOR ETHER SAGA ONLINE CMON BROS LETS GOOO
I would've voted Wizard101 but that game is only free until a certain point then you have to pay membership to go to different worlds. The day someone makes a private server of that I would play the living shit out of it.
>>1276858psu is actually fun but the controls might filter some anons. you do have the option to use a controller if you have one though.
>>1276858EQ2 is starting its EQ2 Origins server in June btw. Reversing the mechanics to be similar to what it was like in mid-late 2006https://mmos.com/news/everquest-2-origins-tle-server-announcement
I voted FlyFF
>>1276858Nice premise, but I feel like we need to attract way more people.
>>1277555then shill it in mmo threads on /v/ or shill it on mmo generals from here or /vg/we do have a good amount of votes already assuming all who voted are gonna try out the game that gets played
cool
>>1277562>assuming all who voted are gonna try out the game that gets playedI will unless uncharted waters online wins, just not interested
I don't care which game wins I'll still play it. The thought of anons playing an MMO they probably haven't played before and are experiencing it together and shitposting in the chat is comfy.
psu website seems to be down
>use a vnp to vote spam a game>force anons to sufferheh nothing personel
OP I think a better format would be we play a game that gets the highest amount of votes for 2 weeks then after that 2 weeks we play the game with the 2nd most votes. Then repeat. That way we can get through games faster and people who didn't have their pick win gets a guarantee afterwards.
>>1277646I think your idea sucks, and so do you.
>>1277288>>1277504These are good points. I think we might have to cut some options if they aren't truly f2p.>>1277528We should add this to the next vote.>>1277516It's such a shame because it's a cool game but the controls are just max jank. At least with a controller you can get right stick camera controls but even the rebinding is jank because you gotta pick from a list of buttons and they might vary from gamepad to gamepad and the rebinding is done outside the game.
Enjoyers of niche titles may present your games to me for review and observation, as I am fond of the late 2000s and early 2010s when a new MMO came out every other week, finding new random titles off random MMO lists off random MMO websites and downloading betas off fileplanet.
>>1276858Which one of these has world pvp? I wanna fight some anons.
Just dropping in to strongly recommend against Trickster, saw that it was winning the poll. I played that shit at launch and it was awful. I tried to find a related meme from launch but it's lost somewhere on my HD, but it boiled down to being fucked by the devs. But who knows, maybe you'd enjoy the jank enough to fuck around with it, but I'd still push you more towards PSU since it's a close 2nd.Personally, I'd say try Anarchy Online. Much more fun game, especially if you're an oldfag and recognize the word l33t as something from your past, more than 'ancient text'
>>1276858you can add asherons's call which has a large/active private server community with custom content. goodle gdle (gamesdeadlol enhanced)many servers with weird custom new content and custom pvp rulesets to explore.can also add warhammer online age of reckoning. good private server exist(cant remember name but easily googleable, there is only one)
>>1277794what about private servers anon?
>>1277819Doesn't fix a shit game unless they're like Ascension WoW or Project Epoch and take world/system/coding matters into their own hands (aka, extremely rare, most pserv hosts just put up the game as is and you're lucky if they fix anything)
For the love of God someone please come play with me.
My autism took over with the grid so I fixed it.So that I don't have to be the one always updating this, if you make a codepen account and fork thishttps://codepen.io/wosin123/pen/QWPeypLyou can add or remove stuff from the grid. Simply copy a <li>...</li> entry and change the values if you wanna add something. Then you can use the full view https://codepen.io/wosin123/full/QWPeypL and a tool like https://www.site-shot.com/ to make a screenshot of it.
>>1277858nice one anon
>>1276858is uncharted water online the og voyage century?
To the anons who voted Granado Espada, I know why you did.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKrnsK2_aEMGod-tier OST>>1277858Very nice
>>1277621I have their discord invite and there's the download and account creation in there, so if by the chance PSU wins and the site isn't up we're still good.
>>1276858>Secret of the solstice is backWTF
>>1278021It has a private server called Xen Rebirth
>>1276858Add Dark Ages & Xenimus for the next list OP
So 3 more hours and a game is picked right? What if it ties? Phantasy Star Universe is in the lead by 1 vote. What time do we start when a game is voted?
>>1278036If it ties by the time is up we'll just wait by 1 vote for a tiebreaker. I guess we'll see if the thread becomes active before we make the general on /vg/.
>>1278047we could try starting the first thread on /v/, and move subsequent threads to /vg/, to get a bump in anons to play with
Goddamn the poll has a lot of votes. I turned block VPN users on so people shouldn't be able to vote multiple times. >>1278056I've been shilling this thread in the occasional MMO thread that pops up on /v/. I think whatever game wins we just move it to /vg/ and remind people here. We'll probably get randoms that notice the general on the catalog and check it out.
>>1277288DDO's problem is it's essentially geared at small groups taking their time through content. Not necessarily suited for something like this.
>>1277528>EQ2 Origins server this will require a sub to play
>>1278100Have they said that for sure? I noticed that the beta required it but is it certain that it will require a sub once it goes live?
>>1278108EQ1 progression servers require All Access Membership so I imagine it will be the same here.
>>1277851>fallen earththat's still alive?
>>1278118Well fuck. I might still go and check it out for a month when it's out.
So it's likely Trickster is gonna win. Since we were talking about private servers there are two known servers I know of for Trickster. PlayTrickster and LifeTO. I'm pretty sure PlayTrickster is more populated.
>>1278145you spoke too soon, it's back to a tie
dudes voting with their phones or some dumb shit
>>1278149vpn still works, OP is retarded.
>>1276858What about Ragnarok, Lineage2, Priston tale and Asheron's call?!
>>1278149>>1278151I tried voting with a phone and vpn and it doesn't work
>>1278152Only bad games allowed, sorry.
>>1278149>nigga mad his game isn't in the top voteskwab
>>1278152Ragnarok and Lineage2 have already been played by /vm/ before. Shit RO is still being played but if you go to that thread enjoy the dramafags.
>>1278152It's missing way more than just those. Ragnarok is way too popular to be included here IMO. They have their own thread on this board if you wanna play it go there.For the next round we might wanna do some sort of preliminary round to see what games people are interested in and then only vote on those.
should we wait for a one vote tiebreaker or see which one gets to 20 first to be more fair?
>>1278163we'd probably be waiting another whole day for 20 idk maybe wait till 15
>>1278149If people were using VPNs or multiple devices you'd see more votes on other games
>>1278163>>1278164first to 15 makes sense
>>127816415 is a good choice
>>1278167Half the votes in PSU are mine though.
>>1278170prove it
>>1278172Why would I get myself disqualified? You all will play my game, and you will like it.
>>1278174so you're full of shit
btw trickster lets you make nude lolis
>>1278175Heh, see you in game nerd.
>>1278178I already voted for the game anon even though that's not true
>>1278152>asheron's callah yes nursing home patient game
>>1278183all the games in this thread are for literal geriatric anons bruh
>>1278184Most of these games are no older than WoW
I'm flabbergasted that nobody is shilling the choices enough.>>1277858You should update it again with a gameplay screenshot that best represents the game next to each title.
>>1278186And? MMOs in general are an old man genre. Only living fossils still bother playing them.
tfw 27 year old senile shitting in my adult diapers right now
>>1278203Same
Time for my pre-fap ritual to make my game win (PSU)
>>1278006>Granado EspadaIt has both the art style and OST, but goddamn it's a game geared at AFK botting.
>>1278219>wanting to play a literal tranny game
>>1278118>All Access MembershipNot that it matters for this as games should be F2P at least, but as far as subs go that shit is worth it if you're playing more than one of their games. You're getting a 4-for-1 deal.
>>1278219Pre-fap rituals don't work, I voted RF Online.
>>1278220Love this art style. It's weird how well it has aged when it isn't outright stylized cartoony shit.
>>1278224DCUO was trash and live servers for EQ are pretty terrible as well. Do you even need a sub for Planetside 2?
>>1278183True but its the only mmorpg where skill actually matters
PSU at 14
>>1278248I'll bake the general

>>1278248>PSUfuck it i am out, can't be arsed to jump through hoops to make that shit work
>>1278269same, someone make a Trickster online general

>>1278269this
>>1278278It can be worse. It could be EVE.
>>1278269>>1278273>>1278285stop being pussies
>>1278248i expected it to be a shitty version of Phantasy Star Online, but it seems to be fine. I thought there were only going to be shitty odd games, what's the catch????????????
>>1278296stop being grooming people to play your kusoge
>>1278304The games don't have to be shitty just niche or obscure, or games that haven't been played together on 4chan before.
>>1278304>what's the catch????????????Grind that makes RO blush in comparison.
>>1278316kek this is bullshit
I actually have a high level character on PSU myself and I can carry people and show them the ropes or I can just make an alt and start fresh with everyone.
keep the poll open so we know what people want to play next time and only poll those games also I'm downloading clementine right now
>>1277646i'm for this idea too
>>1278305>>1278285>>1278273>>1278269That sure is how this thing falls apart, "my thing didn't get picked therefore I will not play"bet you were the kids in preschool that wouldn't play with a toy but started throwing sand at any kid that touched it
Trickster will most likely be next anyway.
>>1278350I feel like that's a bitter samefag
>>1278357you forgot your meds, schizo.
>download Silkroad just to kick some time>every server is fucking full
>>1278357I'm sure that's a convenient belief to hold, but no. Just following the thread and saw the whining
>>1278332carrying defeats the purpose of this whole thing
>>1278370I feel like having someone around that at least knows how to get started will help with retention, even if they're playing a new character.
>>1278370True enough
>>1278371a new character would be fine, I'm just not interested in running after someone who oneshots everything
Game needs to patch once you log in so anyone planning on starting I suggest you launch it early and let it run. Looks like it'll take an hour or two
>>1278388did you mean me ? lol
god I hope star wars galaxies never gets picked the next time we do this, that game is awful>>1278390based chink
>>1278124If you count like 40 concurrent players at peak as "alive", then yes. https://store.steampowered.com/app/113420/Fallen_Earth_Classic/
I like the idea behind what you guys are doing. I did something like this with my friend group years ago. I would just find some old MMO and get us to play as a group from the start. The thing is though we would only play for like a week before we lost interest and this was when we had 9+ hours of free time each day. At least for me it was mainly doable because I would log on with all my friends and we would all be at the same quest progress and such. What do you guys plan on playing like? Just going in solo? Talking in town? Only waiting to party up with others?
>>1278435I'll still play even if we don't have a big group from the start. If I'm playing solo for over 2 days and no one else joins then I'd give up on it. Another anon said it already but the biggest drawback about this idea is there's always gonna be people who won't give the game that gets voted a shot or they'll only bother playing if their game gets picked. There's also people that won't start unless they know a game has a decent sized group from the start.
should make a party for others to join when possible
>>1278390How's silkroad currently? I remember they added european classes eventually, anything else new since then?.
>>1278289I get the feeling I would enjoy Eve, but starships don't do shit for me.
>>1278435Realistically this won't amount to anything because there's way too many options and you have to account not even half of the people who voted any single game will actually play. I'll be shocked if five people get together in PSU.
>>1278507I think every time a game that gets the most votes has almost no people actually playing it we should make a thread for the game with the 2nd amount of votes and see if people will play that or do a repoll. I think it's too early to call the PSU general now but if a day or two goes by with no one playing it then we should change it.
>>1278511there's probably some faggot tourists who see this thread and vote a game without any intention of actually playing it
>>1278513100% with faggots advertising on /v/ constantly. I don't know if OP has done this or if it were someone else. If you want /v/fags to play MMOs with then make the thread on /v/.
it was a fun idea but it's over...pack it up boys
even a small group will do, post ITT with your characters to group up etc
Is there a guild/method to group anons together in-game? That's the only thing that will make me play this, since organizing sessions otherwise would probably suck.
I feel like there's a better way of doing this that actually will get people to show up. Maybe we should put some games on the list that are well known and we alternate between playing a known game and a niche one. Just as long as the known game currently doesn't have a general for it already like Ragnarok, FFXI, Maplestory and Mabinogi. For example there currently isn't a Lineage 2 general so we can play that and the rule is we all have to start fresh characters even if you've played it before.For one month we can have a separate list of well known MMOs and the second month a list like the one in this thread. Then we just go back and forth between them.
I'm around right now, nobody seems to be posting in the /vg/ thread
>>1278652You all got tricked into downloading a game no one will play lol
>>1278652>>1278618/vg/ is where videogame threads come to die. /v/ finally had a good idea for anons to play together but it's wasted on a board for gachashitters and small circlejerks because no one new will come
>>1278698make a /vm/ thread then
>>1278739where the fuck do you think we are?
>>1278695My favorite is when someone in the /vg/ thread stated that there was no guild system, and parties only go to 8 members so there's no way to lump everybody together into one chat or any other method of mass communication lolWhat a godawful first pick how are you guys going to arrange anything in game?
>>1278739>>1278698>>1278767>>1278652I made a /v/ thread, it may be our last chance...>>>/v/675518223
>>1278778We talk in the thread
>>1278789Literally cannot fail.
>>1278778I doubt there'll be more than 8 people online at the same time anyways and if there were then the remaining players can form their own parties.
>>1278618>I feel like there's a better way of doing thisRun it tournament-style with 8 or 16 options. Vote (daily?) on each pairing to get people invested and narrow down mmo theme appeal. If someone's top choice loses they can at least flock to the next near interest that way.After 4th day, game is sorted and /vg/ is set up. What >>1278698 this anon said is fair I guess. Not super familiar with how having a thread on /vg/ or /vm/ would differ.I guess you could have the main vote thread on either /vg/ or /vm/ and then cross link the daily vote-offs on /v/?Dunno, kudos tho, this feels like a fun idea. I just don't give a rats ass about PSU. I'll be keeping an eye on if it's remade or if not just wait until next month's game.
>>1278841this is what happens when polls get botted, there seemed to be genuine interest in trickster from the posts here but all that vanished after. I'm still open for a revote because the threads on /v/ and /vg/ are sinking ships sadly
We've got a few people playing man, anyone's free to joinLook at all the fun we're having!
/vrpg/ thread might be a good idea.

Lurking this thread, came here from /v/. I recommend Fiesta next time you guys vote. I might join in on Phantasy Star.
>>1280055>>1280062It was my childhood but even so I admit it’s bad. The most populated private server right now is even more p2w than the original, it’s disgusting.
>>1280069>more p2w than the originalhow
>>1280069Which one? I remember playing playtrickster and didn't see p2w stuff.
>>1280026I played it for awhile, it is surprisingly active and full of treckie boomers. Also monetization suck major balls, they don't even pretend to have enough catchups to level the playing field.
>>1280073diff anon but I did some research and there's playtrickster (rTO) which is p2w and dying population. lifeTO is the non p2w and more populated and there's another one, eternal paula which has the latest content but might be p2w
>>1280073>>1280071I was referring to playtrickster though it has been years since I last played so things might have changed. What level were you at? The p2w stuff becomes more apparent after lv100 or so. From what I remember, the official server gets occasional events that give half decent equipment, usually in the slot that you don’t get many from in-game. But while I was playing pTO, almost all updates revolves around change to the cashshop, with the discussion thread being people asking for limited time cashshop item and such. The game also has autodrilling pet which is essentially passive income (at the cost of your electricity bill of leaving your game on 24/7). The pet is limited time cashshop in the official so its less prevalent. In pTO, the pet is always available so everyone is doing it, which probably hurts the ingame economy. Another thing is the upgrade system in the game. Upgrades are notoriously bad, as it often gives the lower end of the range values. The pTO offers an alternate upgrading system in their website where only paying members can use, and it gives better values.
>>1276858Okay but what about games that have multiple private servers? Do you then vote which server to play? Seems like you’ll get too many different opinions.
>>1280141We'll just go by what most people suggest for private servers
>>1280069I was looking around for private servers for old MMOs and it's disgusting how many of them are simply terrible>p2w>multiclienting>in some cases botting or autoplay>insane ratesI just want some servers with like 1-3x rates, no p2w, no multiclienting, no botting and no other bullshit. How is that too much to ask?>>1280141I assume that people are sensible and agree with what I laid out above and that we should pick a server that gets closest to that. But of course there's gonna be someone who disagrees.

>>1280141probably the one closest to classic in the spirit of the adventure as well as>least p2w>proper website documentation (no discord only servers)>no virus
>>1280080>>1280152>lifeTO is the non p2w and more populatedI’ll try downloading it later and see. I tried that server years ago and it was a ghost town so I never play.

>>1280158A server being a ghost town shouldn't matter as much if we can get anons playing. I'd much rather play a server that's good but dead than a populated shit one.
>That one other anon who voted for RappelzMy nigga in Christ. I had fun playing it back in uhhhh 2006/07 I think. Oddly, the version that's out now feels very uhhh...sterile ? I remember Rappelz being flashy and the UI really standing out for me. It just doesn't look the same somehow.
RF Online was probably my favorite of the shitty F2P MMO era, It looks cool, I liked the tech vibes. Shame these cool ideas ALWAYS HAVE SHITTY PUBLISHERS REEEEEE WHY GOD WHY
>>1280278>the version that's out now feels very uhhh...sterile ?That's a problem with most of these. The updates released over the years killed all the magic.
>>1280298Whoever took over the UI Dept has ZERO soul and just wanted to make something by the book. It doesn't even look like it belongs in the game at all.
>>1280026I absolutely loved the Duty Officer system.
Ima wait Trickster Online to join ur fags
>>1280152>tfw 11 hour time difference to lifeTO server timeIt’s over before it even starts for me.
So apparently lifeTO isn't completely dead (the rest of the town outside this pic is empty). I do get high ms for being a filthy SEAmonkey, but I'm used to it.See you next month, perhaps.
>>1280511Did they ever fix the native resolution to where you don't have to go change shit in the folders to make it bigger? Not that it's a big deal.>See you next monthI'm with the other anons on the two week thing. A whole month just feels too long to wait to play another game. I think the point was just to experience a game as far as we can not get to the very end and do every content, which you can't do in a month anyways.
>>1280534They offer 800x600, 1024x768 and custom where you just input the number yourself. I like the default res though.I'm not in a hurry to start so I'll just hang around until other anons want to go.
>>1280534Two weeks seems like just the right amount of time in my opinoin too. Anons who are enjoying the current mmo can always continue playing it together. There is always gonna be a number of people who are not even willing to try a mmo, just anticipating the next one.
nice DOGTURD anime "MMO" picksarigatou gozaimasu
i miss uncharted waters online so much
osrs gim
Voted psu, see you soon ingame chaps
>>1281208We're at /vg/ and active right now
If you voted but weren't willing to play the winning MMO if you lost, you're a faggot. I legitimately don't care what MMO we'd play but you faggots gotta make drama before we even play an MMO. Why bother voting and participating if you weren't going to play any MMO besides X? Why did you need to come here and suggest other people play? The whole gimmick was trying something random and likely new, together.
>>1281247ayo this nigga spittin fax
>>1281208kek>>1281247I completely agree with you. The reason i haven't even touched PSU was because i imagined if these faggots would just taint the experience for everyone else. Thankfully seems kinda comfy from the screenshots i've seen.
>>1281247>>1281332I voted trickster but got filtered by tech problems. it does disappoint me though that even people who voted PSU didn't come to play the game.I think next time OP could do a tournament style vote like some suggested, or do a poll that requires a password or bare minimum reading to filter outsiders
I just voted for PSU, thanks.
>>1281247I voted for Trickster and I'm playing PSU. It's actually fun.
>>1280534>>1280547Two weeks is short if a game catches on but long if it doesn't. I think we gotta see if people are still playing PSU in 10 days.
Maybe consider Aika Online sometime. In its heyday it had 1k vs. 1k PVP. Has a nation system where you can invade other nations and openly PVP, and even a player-run government that lets you coordinate alliances.
>>1281529Surely the population is dead now so the notion of large scale pvp is meaningless.
>>1281532For the most part yeah, it has been repeatedly in and out of service the last several years, but I'd imagine they're down to one server at this point. I doubt the playerbase is as huge as it once was, but some coordination could probably lead to a few large-scale invasions.
>finally freed up space on laptopit's so over...
>>1282973Looked it up and closest solution I can find is on the forums saying run psuc.exe as admin and make sure nothing is blocking the connection (antivirus, firewall) set exception for psuc.exe.
>>1282973The getting started page that was previously mentioned has a section on fixes, although it just kinda amounts to installing directx which you probably already have since it's so common.
Thread's been dying down. I hope you guys get active again when the next game gets played.
>>1283285Most of us playing are posting in the /vg/ thread
>>1283297Yeah but there were probably people who voted who only intended to play the game they voted. So I hope the next game that gets voted has an even turnout or better as PSU did.
>>1283307Oh I see what you're saying, and I agree. If even half the voters played that'd honestly be a lot more fun.
Any other mmoGROIDS play seal online back in the day?pretty sure the servers are still uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKVQRi-TJ7g
>>1283387>sound temp composerFuck they make good music
>>1283387looks coolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXSqGXRbya4
>>1283285That's the plan yeah, this place is for voting the next game, we try to keep the /vg/ up for discussion of the actual game and screenshots, though I guess we could post a few here too. Not like it's at risk of disappearing, /vm/ is pretty slow.captcha: SR0NX
So, when it comes time to vote the next game do we just leave the OP strawpoll up or create a new one in the thread?
>>1283778I think the next game's going to be TO from the votes and thread interest. we really should find a better way of voting to avoid a bunch of votes from people with no interest in playing together though
>>1283796Don't know that there's much way to prevent it, just figure they won't hang around for that long if they're not engaging anyway. And anyway, what's the nefarious plan, make us play a game we end up enjoying? Dastardly, indeed.
>>1283832I think the issue is more why even vote, if it's not the will of anons interested in playing together? I think TO will be fine, but going forward I'd at least like a minimum number of anons playing equal to the votes for a game.If I could suggest stuff like>fake poll in OP to filter passerbys>encrypting poll linksnot foolproof, but minor hindrances to get anons at least minimally invested in voting
How many are playing PSU?
For the next set of games we should do a bit of research what games should be on the list. Like anons pointed out DDO and Wizard101 aren't really playable f2p as you run to a paywall very quickly. There's probably more games like that on the list. Like for example Twelvesky has a trojan if steam reviews are to be believed.
>>1283886>fake poll in OP to filter passerbys>encrypting poll linksSeems kinda dubious. Like other anon said, there’s not much you can do about it. Getting just half the voters to turn up would be good already.
>>1283935Yeah, personally I think we just play it by good faith and let most of the people skip out on it if they want to. We can always veto the game if we hate it anyway.All this is a contrived excuse to play niche games and have someone to do it with, what strictly dictates which we play and why is superficial.>>1283923this might be wise, though it requires someone to do the research and if there's no volunteers we can still just trial and error with the voting process, not ideal but it will still work.
>>1283778>>1283796OP here. I removed PSU from the poll because there's no point in keeping it on there. It's also obvious Trickster is gonna win the next game so I'll keep the poll up and let the numbers reflect that but the poll site also gives me the option to reset the poll so I won't need to put a new link in the thread. I think I should do that after Trickster. I don't wanna have it to where people who voted once can never vote again.>>1283935Yeah there's always a game people want to skip but also we can assume someone voted a game and genuinely had second thoughts and skipped out on it. PSU had like 24 votes but in total I think around 10 anons played it so far.
>>1283923I can replace those games but anons will have to give me some games to replace them with or just outright take them off and make the list a bit smaller.
>>1284091here's how I think it should be from what we've all discussed in the thread>poll gets votes>play game with most votes for two weeks>play the second most voted game for two weeks>reset poll, take games off we already played obviously>repeat
>>1284091tourney-style voting would be better
>>1284091The only way i'd imagine you could make sure people would show up is by making a google poll and forcing authentication. That's a really moronic idea though, so might as well just stick with strawpoll and accept that some people that vote won't join.
>>1284177I would second a tournament vote. the idea was to get people who're invested in the threads and playing together
>>1284591How do you set up a tourney style voting system?
>>1285060there is this https://www.polltab.com/bracket-poll
>>1285091Alright we can do this after Trickster gets played.
>>1286076Ok boss
>>1286076Absolutely this
I picked up psu because of this threadhaven't played with anyone since I didn't follow through but it's been pretty fun solo, think I might keep playing this one and once I break out of my shell maybe talk to peoplenearly level 40 and it's getting rough alone so soon i feel it
I wish people posted in this thread moresomeone said they are using the general is that the pso2 gen?makes no sense why split the potential for people to talkkeep it here or in game sheesh
>>1286371Read the OP and thread
>>1286379that doesn't explain why /vg/ and not here
>>1286446example just have in the OP when the next poll is, what the current game is, and how to join current game
>>1286446Did you read the same OP I did?>The rules are:>make a dedicated general for the game on /vg/ and play it for a monthI think that explanation is sufficient enough, but since that probably won't satisfy you, it's probably to garner interest in the game to get more anons to join in. I don't see the issue
>>1286450These threads will probably last longer than a single game so it is difficult to keep the OP up to date
>>1276858>wewho's we?>votebecause a democracy is somehow entwined with enjoyment?literally all you had to do was make it random for it to actually be interestingthe whole voting shit just reeks of tranny drama faggotry>"games that 4chan hasnt played" so if you played a game, you shouldnt vote for it? keep this shit on reddit, faggots
>>1286494>tranny out of nowheredefinitely keep your shit on reddit, pedo newfag.
>>1286494>tranny and reddit obsessed ESL tourist trying too hard to fit in enters a thread just to complain and is still unable to properly read through the OPKek, why are you so upset? 2/3 of your questions were answered in the OP, you simply don't understand English or can't read words. Feel free to stay in your shell and keep playing solo.
>>1286494This must be the same guy that has been trying to shit on the other thread.
>>1286494Kill yourself faggot
We've officially hit a week of playing PSU. Just another week for the next game.
>>1286076can we replace some games like other anons said? from what people have already said some games are only f2p until there's a membership wall like ddo and wizard101 and apparently twelvesky2 has a trojan. a lot of other games are just really dated or unplayable that most wouldn't have fun with>everquest>mu online>dark eden>champions online>meridian59>eudemons onlineI can 100% guarantee no one would have fun with these games and drop them day one
>>1287035Could always limit the amount of days for really dated games.
>thread about obscure mmos>there's scant few obscure mmos mentioned in the thread>it's mostly people arguing to advocate for their favorite piece of shit not obscure but definitely dead mmos so they can have friendslol, lmao even.
>>1286591>>1286811>>1286909>>1286942>reddit drama jews ass blasted that their entire central planning scheme has been exposed>no defense besides "no u"exposing homo faggotry is too easy nowadays
damn anon, great b8 m8.
Well shit, we've been exposed.
>>1287207name obscure mmos then
>>1287035we could have some sort of a trial week where a week before it's time for the next game, the more dedicated regular posters in here try out the game for a day or two and report back if it is actually any fun at all to reach a consensus on its worthiness before dedicating a new general on /vg/ to it and bringing in new people, if most are saying it's not fun at all move on to the pick with the second most votes and try again
>>1287430Do we need such elaborated procedure? I imagine the voters themselves should have done minimal research on the game or have played it before to have voted for it. Maybe we don’t have to worry about those games since they won’t win the votes anyway.
the less work individuals have to do, the more likely this survivesJust let the voting work itself out, or tournament if you prefer, that works just as well
>>1288249yeah I think some anons will naturally do a cursory look at games during the voting, barring some weird, unlikely scenarios where an actual bad game wins the votes. still a ways off anyways since Trickster will be next
To the people who plan on playing most games that get voted I hope you're saving some images from each playthrough, then once this project ends we have a big compilation of pics from our time in different MMOs.
>>1288606Hopefully some videos too, there were some really nice ones made during /v/ and /a/'s rule over Tera closed betas. I would but my PC is a toaster and I'm ass at them
>>1288606>>1288633We're definitely taking lots of pictures/gifsI don't know about videos but honestly I think what we're taking now gets the point across well enough. Hopefully this idea lasts long enough to have a nice spread of group pics that we took at the end of every trial period.I'm down to keep it going long term, it's been very comfy so far.
>>1288645How many hours do you guys normally put in a day? I gotta wageslave and only have like 1-2 hours a day so I might be lagging behind when people hop on the next game.
>>1288648Well a sesh usually goes for like 4-6 hours, but people come and go pretty often, if you can only do 2 hours then do 2 hours, there's no pressure, it's a very chill environment.
>>1287296some worth playing off the top of my head with decent private servers or still just live: dark age of camelot (sorta), perpetuum online, a tale in the desert, gloria victis, discovery freelancer. do you feel sufficiently spoonfed now you smarmy faggot?
>>1288685Now imagine a world where you lead with that instead of being a pretentious cunt.
>>1288693you mean the one where I get disregarded anyways because you're a bunch of stupid nogames retards? is that really your last jab you can get in now that you've been crushed under the incredible weight of my vidja knowledge? suck a dick and get cancer.
>>1288648Go in expecting not everyone who showed up for one game is gonna be joining the next, but at the same time we can get completely new people for each game. >>1288711Dude kill yourself no one gives a fuck about your sperging.
>>1288712>get upset by callout>say some stupid shit>get shit on>"wahhhh no one cares!"shiggy
>get upset by thread>say some stupid shit regarding trannies, jews, and reddit>get shit on>argues with thread, advocating for his favorite piece of shit, not obscure but definitely dead mmo's so he can have friends>"wahhhh no one will care!!! I'm going to be disregarded by anons!!!"shiggy
>>1288741>conflating one shitposter with another because you have brain damage>not knowing how to reply because you're a mobile using zoomer>making contrived greentexts>shitting up a thread you don't want shit up to get the last word in: ^ )
>>1288711Well it sure as shit will if you lead with "all your games are shit wow what a gay thread" yeah, good job anon, you get to be right on toxic post #3 by burning your chances to participate in the first one, hope it was worth it.>>1288830>conflating one shitposter with anotherso you're not only a hypocrite but you also acknowledge you're just here to shitpost, good I'm glad we could be open about something for oncesee how much simpler things are if you just start with honesty? Now go hang yourself and see how long it takes for anyone to notice
>>1289144He really thinks we don't know he's from pso2g. He's the same guy who was shitting up the /vg/ general because he chimped out after noticing some known general personalities from pso2g play PSU.
So Sunday marks two weeks for PSU. Do we start Trickster the same day or the day after? Or do we wait till that week's Friday to start? Reasoning is if people might need a break before starting another game.
>>1290962How is the interest in PSU now anyway? People still enjoying it or ready to hop onto the next one?
>>1290970We do have people eager to hop onto Trickster, but the PSU general may be kept alive from people who got interested in the game by seeing it on the catalog or it got shilled in pso2g.
>>1290962I got kekked by tech problems trying to run PSU, I don't think I can wait another week to play together
>>1290962I'd be down to start day of or day after, depending on how much set up is necessary.Anyone pondered which server we're picking or what we need to do/know to play?
>>1291119I assume we are playing on lifeTO since that’s the least p2w server (you can convert ingame gold to cash currency). I’ve play other server before so I can try answering them when we got trickster thread up.

how do you guys talk to each other without discord
We talk to each other over discord, but pretend we don't.
>>1291562>>1291567Btw I'm trans
We just talk in game, smoothbrain-kun. Why do you need Discord when you have a fucking image board to communicate through?
Don't care, still not inviting you to the group.
>>1290962I'm up for starting sunday since we're basically treating saturday like the last day by taking a big group pic that day. >>1291131Yeah we're playing lifeTO. I actually tested out the client (didn't start a character and progress) and the account creation and download is really easy. Your windows defender will try to block the download though.
>already using their discord schtickHe clearly doesn't understand how this board operates, so just ignore him. Now, we do need a guild name for those games that feature a guild system. Any suggestions?
>>1291665We should discuss that in the Trickster general once it's made.
>>1291676Good call
>>1291665Could go with the usual <No Fun Allowed> but it might be fun to pick a new one for each game.
At one point someone in PSU asked us who we were and the term "tourist board" came up, since we only really demo the MMO's maybe incorporate that into the name.>>1291665
>>1291754He called us a bunch of reddit kids
>>1291665>>1291730>>1291754Just as long as the name doesn't have "cunny" in it like every other 4chan MMO guild name.

LifeTO is going under maintenance for about an hour on Saturday at around 11:59 PM EDT
>>1292993what time are we starting TO? early Sunday? it works for me since I play degenerate hours anyway
>>1292993そうですよね...
>>1292993So is LifeTO the server people are going to play on? Might as well start downloading it then and do a settings check
>>1293125Most likely yes
>>1293131Ok, I downloaded it and set up my character. Had some antivirus issues but they were pretty easy to solve.Did one quest and hit level 11 so I assume the rates are REALLY sped up which is nice, hopefully it won't become too much of a faceroll at the start though
>>1293157>He started without us
>>1293165I just wanted to see if the game worked, I stopped already. I'll be in timeout until you guys finish the first quest too
>>1293167It's too late now, Anon.. we can't forgive this betrayal...
>>1293169I just didn't want to sit in character creator for too long being indecisive about what to play
Do I want to play a bnuuy boxer, or edgelord dragon?
>>1293157>>1293167>>1293174
>You can chose your starting statsWhere are the boomer scholars when you need them? Someone explain this shit.
>>1293214The graph determines your stat growth per level. You need 4 points into it for the stat to increase. When you level up, you get that number on your graph + 4 points you can assign freely. Your main stat is locked at 4.Power and magic is quite self explanatory. Sense is for your drilling (can explain more later), max weight capacity and luck (crit chance, block chance AND magic attack accuracy).Charm is just defence, magic def and HP.eg. Power type can go standard 4114 (4 power 1 magic 1 sense 4 charm) for survivability or cut some from charm into sense to get LK for crit.
>>1293204I should explain about the classes a bit first. In trickster, the classes are gender locked. 1st job is the same but 2nd job are gender-specific. Then for 3rd job you get to choose between pure (get more skills that align with your 2nd job) or hybrid (get 2nd job skill of the other gender).Bunny would be the most beginner friendly. You get one of the strongest single target skill (tetra punch) and for your 3rd job you choose between going pure (getting even stronger single target skill but have exactly 0 AOE skills) or hybrid (get some AOE skills to patch up your miserable grinding).Dragon is a bit unique that it has 2 pure 3rd jobs. They either go light or dark spells. Light got a decent spread of skills with the best survivability skill in the game (shield of heaven, literally cannot die with it). Dark lord hits hard but die at the slightest touch unless you get lots of HP gear. Go dark if you wanna be an edgelord. Hybrid option will take too long to explain coz sheep got even more options.
>>1293238How the fuck do you make the game run on full screen
>>1293242In the launcher option.
>>1293243Can't click on the options button, it does nothing. Even setup.exe isn't working
>>1293245Are you sure you're not being blocked by an antivirus or something? I had some issues until I made an exception for it
>>1293245works on my machineMaybe post a screenshot. I'm not sure what you meant. How do you even start the game then?
>>1293249>>1293252Linux bros... the winsissies are making fun of me...
>>1293260
Are there any guides for where to spend your points in Trickster? Going all in on one stat is probably not the play I would assume
