Why does no one else make a pixel art sandbox mmo? This should be a whole genre.

i like ragnarok online

Imagine the sprite sheets. What even is modern 2D graphics, anyway? Self-Contained sprites, accessories, and shaders?

Probably because of costs. Imo, these type of mmos live and die with their art, and that shit is getting more and more expensive. AI slop won't cut it.
And to double up on it, the era of mmos is over. Other social media has taken its place.
Also, I wish there was a good way to go about building up the mmo infrastructure, but holy shit that is even more complex than it used to be. If you don't want massive lag, desync, inflated costs, and cheating in your game, you will be throwing money into a black hole.

How the fuck do you not recognize the kafra sprite? The merch sprite, the novice sprite, sohee, the alchemist and wizard npc sprites, the beach kafra sprite, those succulent peco eggs. Even on the persons skill bar, quivers are old school ro, same with shadow arrows, silver, immaterial, crystal arrows, double strafe, charge arrow, ygg berry, identify item.
Did you even play RO?

They take up too much work and staff to make less money than gacha.
