Is rougeGE still up? That private server been around for over 10 years now but I don't remember it being shady. Actually I don't remember it being hard to get cash shop characters on official servers either. You could always buy them from other players. Then they eventually put them in a in game shop where you could use raid points or something to buy them.

I also remember some of them weren't even that good but its been awhile.

>Alright and now you fight a boss who is nigh-immune to all forms of damage, has Berserker on at all times and crits you, can one-shot tanks with ease, and is fast as all shit so you can't be a caster and just hide behind his arena's messy geometry so you can progress the main story quest
>Alright and now I just need you to mine an item that is the lowest on a drop table of dozens of items (most of which are literally less useful than if you just got a message that said "No item found) in order to complete a single main story quest
>Alright here's three spell-sealing minibosses that will rape you into the ground with raw damage while you cannot respond with regular magic attacks that you use to progress through 99.9999% of the game, literally all other boss fights, PvP, and even in events, all so you can complete one more story to progress the main story

This game took more of my life force than it should have.

I still play this occasionally but its not the same. It used to be this cool sidescroller action game and now its just enter a room and kill everything in 1 button simulator. Endgame is like mmo-lite with all of the aoe dodging and waiting for burst windows. I feel like the game was at its best before it even had an english release, but the early nexon days weren't that bad either despite it being nexon.

>>721868781
Ah so you cry because they included things that you don't like. Well, cry about it, I guess. The game is still alive and full of that Pay to Win bullshit that it always had. Unironically shut the fuck up.

Just like premium mounts, it was the easiest way to show off a character was elite since the low poly nature of the game made it hard to see the finer details between gear. It was either wings or auras.

I remember the GM’s would have these random events where they would bless people, but the skill they could use was only one at a time so you’d have like hundreds of people surrounding them and they just seemed overwhelmed.

I think Ragnarok had the best class system of any MMO. It encouraged teamwork, there were tons of synergies between classes, and there was this complex system of countering classes with buffs, dispels, CC abilities, equipment, etc.

WoW went wrong. After most every other game tried to emulate it and failed, it became the only game in town. So when it turned into a steaming shitpile, there was nothing there to replace it.

That isn't even a thing you fucking retard, considering individual servers and regions exist idiot. Then those get split ever further with channels in korean games. By your empty-head logic, COD is a fucking MMO. Like I said, a bunch of retards conflate persistent online game with MMO, ignorant to the fact that "massive" also included the world. Hence every MMORPG having a massive world. Seriously, was your PC too shit to even play Flyff?

And if persistent worlds is what actually makes an "MMO" an "MMO" then WoW is not an MMO because nothing you do actually persists in the world. Nothing you do matters to the world or the story. It only matters in the 'meta' sense. You are just experiencing a story that WILL play out exactly as the writers wrote it. Nothing persists after you start, during your play, or after you stop.

Massive - Large, huge, big.
Multiplayer - More than 1 Persons Playing
Online - Not Offline
Role - What your function in a community it
Playing - Not working, this should be fun but you clearly are not having it
Game - Something done out of whimsy for pure enjoyment.

So what an MMORPG is...
A lot of people playing a game online with specific roles for their 'community.'

Yeah actually it's a persistent world that I can call people slurs in.

My first WoW raid guild broke up during AQ40 because we wiped and someone aggro’ed some mobs during the run back and wiped us again

The raid leader went absolutely berserk screaming asking who it was and it got so bad that we had emergency meetings after and he decided to “take a break” from everything which eventually resulted in the break up and the guild savings being divided up.

Some of the more senior members (aka geared) immediately got poached by the #1 guild on the server but funny enough that guild eventually broke up during Naxx too

That was a funny and fun time

I still have an old program used to rip songs from the game. The background music files were in some format I can't remember but the program is able extract into normal music files. A lot of them were in weird formats too like .wma, .wav, oog, etc. or some shit. Program might still work on the steam version of the game if nothing changed.

Otherwise I still have an old mega link for Granado Espada soundtrack rip from 2014 ish with over 200+ songs. I kind of been wanting to update my GE music folder just to see what's been added after all these years but I also don't feel like downloading this game again(or maybe I do).

I got my account stolen in Guild Wars 1 once, but I managed to reclaim it. Only to be, much to my surprise, contacted by the people the scammer had stolen from. One guy had his Runescape account stolen from him with something extremely valuable and the characters that I played had all their gold and platinum cleaned out, at least one had new mildly expensive items in his inventory. He had given away my elite armor set to he dude he scammed out of that Runescape account as a loan, even though he could not wear it and I managed to get it back by explaining that I had nothing to do with what had happened and I guess I was convincing enough that it worked out in the end. I still have that account to this day, now with a much better password. I never found out who was it that stole it from me and he never tried getting it back either it seems.

I formed an actual thieves guild on Wizard101. Back when I was a poorfag kid who couldn't afford membership. Most of my friends were in the same boat. However even free players were still allowed to purchase housing and decorations, but they cost a lot. Couldn't make enough gold as a f2p player because you couldn't go to the higher level worlds and sell those gear. So the workaround was selling treasure cards dropped by mobs. They were the only tradeable items in the game. Some were worth more than others. How it started was
>went to the busy marketplace area in the game
>yell in shout chat "TRADING CROWNS FOR TREASURE CARDS"
>crowns were the in-game paid currency, you couldn't outright trade them to people (this was the scam)
>unknowing players would approach and agree to trade, we add each other and they give me their treasure cards
>I un-add them and teleport away
>do this for weeks getting so many victims and so many cards
>even scammed higher level players who should know better, and they had rarer cards worth more gold
>eventually players started wising up and getting suspicious
>asked a friend to pretend to be a passerby who successfully traded with me
>others fell for it
>friend wants in on the scamming so I help him scam others by pretending like he did for me
>we get other friends involved
>got to the point where I had a base of operations (my player home) and had a group of 30 or so people

One of them is the official Korean one, another is the NA steam one I'm guessing and I'm not sure what these other servers are.

Did some more looking into. Both Andromida and New Era are private servers with different gimmics. Classique is obviously a classic server.
https://andromida.miraheze.org/wiki/Server_Information

New Era has this 1 monster/item count for quests instead of the kill 50 [blank], its kill 1 and be done. I remember GE having a shit ton of quests, especially for beginners that shit was too much. You could spend a whole week doing quests and you wouldn't even make a dent in the list of quests you've accepted.

This had never happened. Every time some retarded third party picked up an old mmo to revive it, it was always a shameless gut it and discard it to eke out the last bit of money out of a retarded, clingy fanbase. I have more trust in an autist living in Russia somewhere to produce a better service than a multi billion company would, because for that autist it is a matter of pride and identity and not a quick profit.

Still hoping this whole "Waven" relaunch they are working on turns out fine but I have my doubts after that horrible handling of multiplayer in it would you believe they didn't even have fucking lobby chat when I first played you had to use shitty canned lines to look for a party.

In bots, i was in a room farming items with some randoms. after we beat that lv 84 elite boss, it dropped some items far from the side. Some Ram guy got lv 3 lv 100 Surge parts and everyone wanted some.

It ended up trading for payed transformations and Ram parts, the room master getting pissed and kicking them

The windows version and steam version are different servers, which was a dumb decision by KingsIsle. Windows has the bigger playerbase. As for Pirate101 some like it some don't. I don't think it gets updated nearly as much as Wizard101 despite releasing after it.

First of all, every single MMO sucks ass, especially korean ones. The only distinguishing thing about them was sharing the same online world as many other people, which already became stale and mundane by the end of 00s, since everyone was already online.
I do lament Blade&Soul though, one of the most fun and spectacular combat systems ever, and it was a prisoner of a grindan kmmo where you had to slave away for weapons, slave away for skill upgrades and share your world with mmo subhumans. I've noodled around in Neo and I forgot how much I loved running and flying around and beating up mooks and dueling bosses (and how much I hated everything else)
But imagine my face when they announced a sequel where they ditched the sexy artstyle, ditched the hype gameplay in favour of looking and playing exactly like Genshin. What a shame.

>>721881113
Mmos were always made with lowest common denominator PC's in mind. The only exception I can think of that had requirements high enough on release that many struggled with it was Everquest 2. This fantasy universe in which mmos were not overran by retarded underage morons or third worlders is an invention of yours. The real rich people hobbies were and always will be as far removed from videogames as possible.

So true, I loved sieges in L2 (where everybody got 10 FPS because the game engine was not designed to handle large scale PvP that the devs advertised)

One of the things I liked the most about older games is their simplicity. MMOs in particular. You just sit down, enter the zone and grind for a few hours because there isn't much else to do. New MMOs are way too complicated. Too many things to you can/have to do.
>>
>>721879739
Also they aren't playing it thru steam. It has its own launcher like any self respecting game.
>>
>>721882407
I agree, the pace was much more laid back, reaching """endgame""" wasn't the goal because it was so unreachable and took literal years, there were no daily or weekly systems forcing you to engage with the game constantly, you could go as slow or as fast as you want which meant that a lot of people would just hang out and chat instead.
>>
>>721882494
Which makes all these private servers with 10 or 100 times the XP even more baffling. Why the fuck are you rushing? The non-existent endgame?

Log Horizon isn't bad and the author actually played Everquest. But most of these stories aren't based on real games, but only the vague idea of a game from other isekai stories. A copy of a copy of a copy with at best some Dragon Quest thrown in. The game elements have become their own tropes of the genre independent of real gaming.

>>721881793
Japan is weird in that it didn't do the Massive part of MMOs and kept most of its games to itself. Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy 11, Dragon Quest 11, Monster Hunter was big over there long before it took off in the West. Capcom had an entire MMO division that never published anything in the West, including Monster Hunter Frontier and Dragon's Dogma Online.


>>721884646
This. I still remember my first MMO(some Korean one where everyone could tame pets and the best ones all required burning through P2W consumables) and somewhere around level 30 quests would just stop. You'd grind to 35 to get your class quest to unlock your specialization, but it was something absurd like kill 250 lvl 70 mobs and there was literally nothing for you to do until then other grind the same mobs over and over, while high level players could kill you and erase hours of progress(unless you got another cash shop item of course). No adult with a job has time for this shit.

2000s and 2010s Korea had soul but something was off. To this day I don't know what their problem is. They imagine greatness and the execution is solid, but the way they handle it thereafter is so incompetent or self-destructive. Nowadays they've just been making unimaginative 6 hour singleplayer games based off existing franchises from other countries, and pure coom gacha with 0 gameplay or worth to speak of.

I hate how Greed always ruins them. Both from developers and players alike. The lack of moderation, the rampant bots. The microtransactions and pay to win or artificial barriers to prevent you from playing. Gacha are kind of similar in that regard.

Rakion was wild, they were so neck deep in kikery that you literally could not win as a f2p, but the only good p2w gear was from level 15+
So as soon as you hit 11, you get thrust into the 11-30 bracket and put through an obscene humiliation ritual for 4 levels until you could buy the p2w gear at 15.

Or if you were like me, deleted your character and remade just to keep playing the comfy 1-10 bracket with no payfaggotry until they found out people were doing that and made it so you had to pay money to delete characters

My MMO career started with Guild Wars in the Beta then Release. Was like 12 or 13 at the time.
I made a guild and was the leader of 40 turboactive and around 80 overall players.
Shit was insane. I might've been the underage leader but the people around me organised every piece necessary for us to work properly.
Homepage? Some guy whipped one right up.
Teamspeak Server? Another guy got it for us.
Forum for us to hang out outside the game? A third guy got one working in a day.
This was such a peak experience.
Early GvG must've been hilarious for my mates. My fucking voice didn't even break so I was leading grown men with my pipsqueak voice to victories in Teamspeak. Sad that we had to part.
Then I went to WoW and spent three years there however as a simple player with no leading responsibilites. Stopped during WotLK because the guild I was in had insanely retarded drama and it meant me and my friend had to start over elsewhere. Incredible experience and learned my best friend in this life like 3 days into the game through a string of insane coincidences.
Gookgames like AION (goat Soundtrack that I listen to this day) and Tera followed afterwards.
Guild Wars 2 I was hyped enough for that I camped their booth on Gamescom every year they were there. Sadly when it released it simply didn't feel good so the entire group dropped it.

MMOs back then also doubled as a "social media" of sorts, that's why they could get away with simpler designs. Online communities were fragmented, even MySpace wasn't that big compared to the giants we have today. There wasn't a "go to" place for people to hang out online. People just got on a MMO and hanged out in the virtual space there, but now you can easily go on reddit, facebook, twitter.

Granado Espada was actually very good. I liked the added complexity of having to manage not one but three characters at one in a "traditional team JRPG meets MMO" format. It made it challenging in a fun kind of way.

Plus Lineage 2 was fun for a while before assholes took over all the servers and would just PK everyone just for the shits and giggles. And Lineage 2 has (in my opinion) the ebst representation of dark elves in gaming.

The idea was good on paper but terrible in practice. A MMO being heavily based around your gear will always be a terrible feature in MMOs due to how greedy devs will become. On one hand, its great for gearing up new characters as this was the type of game where you could collect an army of characters and made it easier to get them up to speed just by passing gear to that character but devs can never control themselves and not put cash shop gears into the cash shop.

Makes it piss easy to buy your way to the top.

The more recently added characters are certainly much higher quality than the older ones, they are higher poly and better texture res.

I want to be excited, but having played Mabinogi in recent years, it feels like its evolved in the worst way possible with MapleStory levels of bloat and a large emphasis on trying to push you into endgame as quickly as possible
It's only natural all things considered considering the games age, but it's a very overwhelming and lonely experience

I have seething hatred for Korean MMOs the moment their monetization broke containment and infected the rest of world. Every Korean MMO is a

>F2P
>Horrid item mall, with many different obfuscating currencies, boosters, cosmetics and other shit
>Tedious grindathon to encourage players to go to the item mall
>Little to no balance, literally P2W in some cases.
>Often gacha/lootbox style content where to get the thing everyone wants, you need to try to get it from random boxes
>The companies behind them are entirely predicated on whales who will spend 5 or even 6 figures buying random boxes, and will bend over backward to cater to them specifically
>Each game is on a time limit, designed to squeeze players for as much cash before they get bored and move onto the next one, leaving only the addicts/whales.

When I was working for a major MMO in the late 90s circa 2000, we looked over and figured that our users would literally riot and quit if we dared to charge for cosmetics much less those that cost the same amount of a month a subscription ( that allowed you into the game to unlock all the cosmetics by playing it!).

This is usually due to the game deteriorating and whoever buys them out/publishes it trying to turn a profit.
