>>688201184
WOW Classic

>>688201184
Well shit, guess I can't recommend Guild Wars then.

Haven and Hearth.

I wish I could enjoy EQ but the interface and combat is just too bad. Especially bad is how the animations in combat are almost non-existent so it’s hard to know when a spell is cast or when someone attacks.

I remember falling in a canal in one of the cities and it was all so dark I couldn't figure out how to get out. So I died.

>>688201563
I don't get how games this old still intend to charge a monthly sub to play. Who the fuck puts that kind of money and time into a game only a few dozen people still play?

>>688201918
Isn't all MMO interface and combat shit?
It's frankly bizarre how Ammos STILL cling to cooldowns and such for attacks.

>>688201184
Should be pre 2004 shouldn’t it? Wow classic casualized the genre. It’s always funny when classic fanboys rag on retail wow for being causal and ruining mmos when it was classic wow that did that. Solo questing, basically zero consequences for death, hundreds of mind numbing quests to mask the fact that you are grinding

Is it all over for us, boomer bros?

Are there any private servers for the old Conan MMO?

I loved that game. It was so cool being able to dismember players in PVP and shit. Also there were tits.

>>688205110
based, it was all about the journey

>>688210824

>daoc
I have fond memories of the game in general and nostalgia for ToA (I was young when it came out and it stuck with me), but I now have a fear of shit underwater and I don't think I could handle it again.

>>688212289
I remember every single day in 1999 there were people forming "traveling party" groups outside Qeynos or Freeport, to make the run from one capital to the other.

I remember people getting lost/abandoned in High Pass Hold, or people falling off the ledge in Karana.

I remember parties hitting Kithicor at the wrong time, at night, and being torn apart by undead.

I remember similar parties for taking boats between continents, sometimes having a bunch of zombie sailors wipe entire boatloads of people. Or, people getting off at Will-o-Wisp island in Erud's Crossing, then not getting back on the boat in time before it left the dock.

It's insane how much soul EQ had in 1999.

>>688210985
sorry zoom zoom, this is a pre 2005 thread. Also the official servers for Age of Conan are still live, you can go play it right now. It's a zombie game with no development, but the servers are still up.

>>688215404

City of Heroes, exists as various different private servers now, each with different sets of custom content.

>>688201918
for spells the animation only plays after the cast completes, otherwise you have watch for particle emissions from the hands or mouth
attacks trigger an animation as well, but only after attack has occurred
it truly is old school dice rolling crpg behind the scenes, the visuals are all reactive to the underlying numbers combat

>>688202206
If a sub is like, $10 a month, you don't have to play it that long to get $10 worth. As soon as you don't want to play, you stop paying.
It's really not a very complicated system.

>>688202206
sunk cost
some people have just been playing them for 25 years so why change?
emulator servers like project 1999 for EQ most likely have a larger player count than the actual live games
daoc is a flawed game and the emus only good for about 3 months when everything is fresh, afaik there are no official daoc servers anymore

>>688201184
I'm surprised someone mentioned daoc, and early at that, so I'll say Anarchy online. Daoc has aged so poorly, you need so many buttons just for common movement and facing, commands such as /follow, /stick, /face just to function in pvp combat. What's worse, any pvp you experience will be against someone who has probably played the game longer than you've been alive with everything committed to muscle memory.
>>688210824
I never played eq1, I had no idea it was this gory, does the game have a lot of other things like this?

>>688216467
Daoc still has official servers and even a free trial with most of the more interesting classes stuck behind a subscription, dunno how much it limits you pvp wise but no one plays it for pve anymore anyway and even back then I felt like a black sheep in that I prefered the pve over the pvp whereas mostly everyone else lived in battlegrounds/rvr zones.

I won a competition in a magazine and got the game, the book (pretty good), the OST (really good) and the editors threw in a Blind Guardian CD since they were all into them at the time, which sparked a love for them in me.

It's very dark, dungeons are full of torture gear, blood stains, bones etc. Undead are very graphics (for the time) and you can literally cook cannibal recipes. My favorite being roasted elf with beer and dwarf sandwich. Also, brownie cakes are literally made from brownies, which are very tiny people.

I hate that every mmo turned into a faggy cartoon.

nice bro. i remember the ARK led tours around rubi-ka and shadowlands. those were fun events. ever do that on RK1?

>>688224561
Yes. I did those.

Here's just some fun behind the scenes stuff :

-All new people were forced to do nothing but teleport to new players and greet them to the game, there was no priority over who was on the trial or who was a fully paid customer, everyone generally got greeted before they got out of the training area
-After graduating learning how to use the teleportation spells, the second rung of responsibility was responding to tickets which took priority over greeting. 99% of this was teleporting to a camp and telling two people to stop arguing and recommending alternative but similar zones or just telling them to knock it off before they got pulled into a sit-down. You escalate tickets but have little power in-game.
-Next rung is administrative, new abilities include being able to spawn items which required players to log out in order for them to receive.

If you want to play the best version of EQ ever made, the Shards of Dalaya autists reverse engineered everything and are releasing a fresh server in a few weeks. Should be a good retirement home for boomers desu

>>688224561
-The mechanic used by GMs to issue items was an exploit in the code that was a broken Bureaucrat briefcase allowing us to check for date of quest completion and dispense items.
-The final, second from the top position as an ARK was as a full GM. I made it to GM after 3 years. My newest power was being able to turn players into NPC items, mobs into NPC items, spawn mobs, doing sit-downs and submitting bans.
-Sit-downs were when players were being rowdy and were irritating other players, ARK had an island zone that was just a small cafe area with a race / class / trait changing machine that was a version of the intro scene when you pick them all originally. The sit-down rooms were a series of black cubes on a lake, there were about 16 of them, we would teleport players into them and that's where they served their short term, non-banned offenses. Up to 3 days, you could log in and bitch at ARKs, but every time you logged in, you were in the cube. Some guy got out of one on one occasion and we caught him running around admin island with max level everything, unable to get off the admin island without teleport commands.

In the end I got my GM account banned for spawning one of the 7 day spawns about 200 times in 4 hours, I was younger, I wouldn't have done that now.

>>688225409
I got in trouble about a week into GM after turning everyone in ICC into those giant low-poly tugboats you'd see off in the distance. Like 200 tugboats, no one could see anything, just clashing flesh-colored geometry until they gated out. They encouraged us to go into busy areas and interact on our off time, turn people into reets and just cause little interesting events that didn't kill any players.

Great fun.

>In the end I got my GM account banned for spawning one of the 7 day spawns about 200 times in 4 hours, I was younger, I wouldn't have done that now.

reminds me of stories of GMs/admins for asheron's call. i remember an incidient where a GM for that game teleported one of his friends to a new island/area named marae lassel weeks before it's patch actually went live. guy made a video and uploaded it to ign's vnboards. that guy got fired too.

The way the game is now, you can have as many accounts as you want for free, sometimes I think about making a trio and seeing how far I can get them. It's just such a foreign place now. There's no real OT / Clan, it's just one main hub with neutral shortcuts, 99% of the items are useless because the meta hasn't shifted in 10 years, it's a mess, but I miss it.

Old MMOs were mostly about the novelty of playing together in an open world. If you didn't play them and don't have nostalgia for it, there's literally 0 reason to play them when you could play private server WoW or just roleplay in second life or VR chat if that's your thing.

Everquest leveling (or at least when I quit in 2002) was fucking torture. Grind, grind, grind. None of it was "hard" you just had to put in 5-8 hours per level and then another 5-8 hours for every "AA point" (kind of like how talents work in WoW but worse).

When EQ went free to play on the twentieth anniversary or whenever. I logged in, ran through all of Antonica with my jboots, had some big hits of nostalgia, logged out and did not look back. It was hard enough to play when I was a kid with no responsibilities, it would be utterly impossible now.

Yeah, but free accounts don't have 100% access. I think they can't hire mercenaries or whatever the NPC system is. I don't think they can trade items or use the auction system either.

>>688227207
Its more or less the lack of option at the time. A chat room with a game on the side. I'm in one of those people that think mmo with sub fee should burn in the fire of hell for preventing me from joining and play any of them during their golden ages. Its utterly depressing I miss out on FF11, SWG, City of Heroes, Everquest, Runescape member only server just because I couldn't afford it, and my parents refuse to buy me those games. Even now when I have my own house and a good job, I still resent that style of payment for denying me an adventure I could of have. Going to a private server means jack shit. Fuck subscription fee and fuck anyone that defends it.

>>688227207
Tangentially related to your post but
>VR chat
I find it so strange nobody has tried to make a VR mmo yet. You already have the social systems in place, VR being way more immersive and easy to socialize in then a text based MMO, but nobody has put in the effort to try and created a world people can play in despite it seeming closer to the platonic ideal fanasy MMO immersive game.

The only MMO from that time that I still play is RuneScape I'm playing it right now. The rest were kid MMOs that are mostly dead now, because I was a kid at the time. One that did stick out to me was Pirates of the Caribbean Online because it had PvP naval combat. I saw that there was a private server for it and checked it out recently. There's no PvP going on anymore, just people grouping up on the biggest player ships in the game and running trains on the strongest NPC ships in the game for hours on end

I'll check out his progress, more out of curiosity of what he's doing exactly. But just bringing over assets doesn't make a game. You can remake Freeport in the Source Engine if you truly wanted to. My guess is he converted it over to Maya and then brought it into the WoW engine.

No, he wrote a converter. You can see the code on the github, and he talks about it in the WoW dev community. It'll straight up convert the eq content if you have an install directory. Apparently there is trickery to get animated textures / waters / ladders and other shit like that to work. I don't know what's really involved but it sounded complicated as hell.

how does that compare to P99 or retail?

>>688216654
WoW or warcraft had some really dark shit. The black dragonflight or the way the orcs got dragon minions was essentially turning the red dragon mother into a rape victim birthing unit for them

Scholamnce was a fucked up necro torture dungeon for their necromancy experiemnts. Now it's all watered down and censored.

ToA was by far the best pve focused expansion and it released for pvp game of that era, bur my fondest memories come from stealth dicking around for days in darkness falls while its opened for another faction

>>688216654
A lot of those older MMOs were probably edgier than you'd think, the opening cinematic for FF11 got pretty crazy after the exposition dump at the start. Considering it came out in 2002, it was one hell of a way to set the mood for the game.

HorizonXI is the only old school MMO private server actually worth investing your time into. Final Fantasy XI has good soul and good gameplay. Horizon is the best version of it with the most active players.

Truckload of custom content, lots of modern-ish improvements to how classes work in tandem better. Everything renamed to fit the custom lore, shit ton of class-specific quests for good equips. Go play it, still pretty fun and easy to install. Just dead as hell.

>>688223127
Agreed.

What a small world... I'm the guy doing this.

>>688234519
Pretty much this. World of Warcraft doesn't have support for those things. Ladders took a unique collision solution (pic related). Water is especially tricky since EQ has things like vertical water and that water sphere in Cazic Thule. Animated textures is faked by rendering the geometry for all frames and cycling through them. Getting music zones and whatnot is also a pain, and I still have a month of work there.

>>688201184
If you don't mind 2d, I think Graal Online Classic is still around.

>>688240179
are you just doing this to learn or do you intend on completely remaking all of EQ to be playable in WoW one day?

>>688240654
I'm going to make it all playable. At least Classic, but probably through Velious. I'll make some changes to make it more WoW-like though, like making some zones proper instances, proper WoW style quests, and item/mob balancing. Probably going to redo mob spells to save time too.

>>688241123
that's pretty cool man, good luck, i look forward to trying it out. the game EQ is good but the client is such a hunk of shit.

Smash a High-Elf, Human, and Erudite meat into one gory pile. Ogre delicacy.

It's free to play now. Some of the classes are locked behind a sub though.
I liked the game a lot but it's almost unplayable now, the engine is severely dated and everyone left playing has been grinding ranks for 20 years and knows every possible trick and exploit.
It's fun to tour the world though, except they accidentally bricked half of it and you can't get to any of the underground parts anymore.

>>688243120
What did they do? I played a month ago and went to a few dungeons/zones but after getting my nostalgia hit I quit.

>>688244767
All the catacombs zones are disabled, people speculate they overwrote the data without making a backup but who knows.

so what's up with Pantheon

Dead since it failed its kickstarter in 2014. If Brad was smart enough, he should've just bought back Vanguard IP and retooled it with a new studio. Much of that mans reputation was destroyed with that game so nobody really trusted him back in 2014 on top of the already aging fanbase he was targeting towards. Doesn't matter anywho, guy is dead (unknown causes lol) for the last 5 years and Pantheon is pretty much just a development hell limbo that only a few geriatrics care about.

Monsters & Memories will save us for real this time

>>688247527
Bro, I just want to see what playing Pantheon is like.

>>688247527

Both of these, but unironically
been looking forward to them both after Crowfall fell through
