>>730744443I wish we could go back to the days when game fidelity was such that some random literal who studios in places could pump out entire MMO worlds like nothing. Nowadays if an MMO intends to add one dungeon they need a year and a half to do it.
man I'm tempted to redownload city of heroes and just go crazy with the character creatorwhat's the popular private server right now? is it still homecoming?
>>730744549sovl...
>>730744870You can come close to that feeling by looking up random old MMOs that you never played and see if they have a private server, or the official server is still up. Just play them but shut off your adult ability to be critical of everything and you may have enjoyment playing them as if you were still a kid.
>>730744549Classic can't come any sooner
>>730744443Are you having a midlife crisis bitch ? why didnt you do your best to build a family when you could.
>>730744473nigggaaa
>>730746157you sound indian
How would you fix FFXIV with FFXIV-2?
I WANT TO GO BACKhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmZmtWZxib4&list=RDLmZmtWZxib4&start_radio=1
>>730746841Realistically just make FFXVII an MMO, whole new story, action combat instead of tab-target.
>>730744443i miss lineage 2 so bad
>>730746985there's no way SE would have the money to sustain data centers for three MMOs
>>730747217L2 Classic is good, you can go back to it any timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62Nl7CmdwUU&list=RD62Nl7CmdwUU&start_radio=1
>>730747332classic hype died roughly 8 years agothat's why all the popular vids you see of it when you look it up are old
>>730746985Kek imagine being FF11 Network Engineer working 9 hour shifts every day for dead ass old boomer.
just post S4LEAGUE already
>>730747269because of new bandwidht engineering it's actually cheap, look at all the ''mmo looter shooters'' EA published
Who Perfect World here?
>upgrade/enchant/power up weapon>it glows>do the same for armour>it doesnt glowone of the few things mu online did right
>>730744443I miss how older MMOs had every armor and weapon glowing
Anyone here played 9Dragons? It was so fucking kino.
>>730748440Me. It was very comfy and quite unique at the time.
Silkroad Online...home...
WHO>Fiesta>Luna>ElswordHERE
>>730744443mechas and dual wield succubus. What a combo.
>>730748423>>730748513dude fucking armor/weapon design and enemy designs back then were peakwhere did it go so wrong
>>730748579Freedom of expression has been taken away. Everything needs to push an agenda or an idea instead of just free flowing creativity.
>Hey guys this is Omer from MMOhut dot com
>>730748440I'll never forgive Acclaim for what they did to that game. They had the golden goose and they shat the bed.
>>730748440I feel like if I installed 9Dragons now I'd get malware even from the official site
>>730749141For me? It was Bots.
>>730749178There are still private servers that have decent populations.>>730749208I also loved Bots, really cool game.
Any Luminary: Rise of the Goonzu chads ITT? I'll never forget the first election and the absolute cinema of 16 year old retards using the mentor system to press ganging noobs into actual MS paint contract group farms so they could to make it in time for the first election
>created the most kino chinese aesthetic ever witnessed>the sequel completely fucked it up
>>730744443>cabaldamn, I havent heard of this shit in like 15 years
>>730748871god damnit
>>730748513>be blader>tfw you get the sick ass backflip combo at lvl 51>finally I'm one of the cool guys at the Jangan gate PvP club
>>730748306>summer break in highschool>private RO server with a bunch of my school buddies>wacky builds and custom items like naruto headbands>the excitement from exploring new region maps and dungeons, getting blasted by MvPsgoddamnit can never be the same, it's pointless to tryjust cherish what you had and look to the future (its grim)
I've found a way to enhance my old MMO kino by simply living life as if it were the years those games came out. Making my room look like pic-related, only playing 2000s games and watching 2000s media, not using a smartphone for anything other than calls, no social media, stopped paying attention to politics and e-celeb shit. I just went monk-mode but for the 2000s. The only thing I can't replicate are the people I knew back then, but I could always find people who share my passion for rewinding time and play games with them. As if time never stopped.

>>730749758reforged on eck is kino thougheverbeitthough
>>730748513The camels, wu xia and desert were all too much for me, I was in awe, too bad I was spoiled by wow
>>730748519>Elswordan old friend
>>730748423I hated that shit as far back as I can remember. Always preferred the starting zones and scrub equipment because it didn't suffer from comical overdesign. In Cabal it felt special to play a force blader and enchant the blade, until all equipment was glowing like a zoomer's PC case.
>>730744443Oh man, I've wasted so many thousands of hours on fucking Cabal... It was shit, but god damn was the infinitely high progression ceiling alluring. I've never grinded as much as I did back then.
>>730754363It's crazy that this game took off anywhere outside of Korea. The combo system was so latency-sensitive that it worked pretty much only inside of a tiny country. I could never reliably keep up combos past 15 because of variable ping.
>>730754363Maybe that's the trick to making a "good" MMO. Just make the progression ceiling insanely high. Shit that can take months to even a year to complete. Take in contrast to a modern MMO like FFXIV, not even the Ultimate raids take over a month for a group to clear. You can farm just about everything in a matter of a week or two.
>>730754617also leveling is a joke in modern mmosback then you had to grind for levels, like in ffxi and lineage 2
>>730754617Cabal had a high level cap combined with a more balanced exp curve. Until the endgame maps you could make tangible progress every day. Didn't have to level up to make some difference either because skill points were distributed several times per level. It was also one of the very few games that awarded exp for every hit landed. Kill stealing couldn't completely lock you out of progression.
>>730754540Oh yeah, lol. Reminds me how back when I first played it, soon after it released in EU, I had a shit PC and the combo would literally go in like 5 frames or so. It was near impossible for me to hit more than a few skills.>>730754617>Shit that can take months to even a year to completeMan, I kept coming back to Cabal every couple of years, and the last time I played, maybe 5 or so years ago, the progression was insane. I mean "months to year to complete"? I cannot imagine how long it would really take to be able to do the late game dungeons like Awakened FT3. You'd need to grind for years or to sink some real money in to be able to do those. And even the strongest people on the server didn't actually have the best possible gear, because of how ridiculously difficult it was to get it, especially the extreme upgrades.Honestly it's kind of cancer, but it did mean that there was always something better to aim for.
>>730755063What about upgrading equipment? I know in FFXIV for example, all you have to do is farm tomes which is easy as hell. They've dumbed down relic progression hard over the years too. FFXIV also has a problem to where none of the gear really matters a major patch later. It's all there for glam really.
>>730755239I only played early versions of the game. People farmed dungeons and bosses to get the materials for plusing the gear, this could fail at higher levels and of course cash shop had perfected versions that always worked. Top tier gear had to be crafted. Normal gear would only drop with one augment slot and crafters could make items with two slots and some augs that came exclusively from crafting. Crafting had some RNG to it as well, perfect crafts were premium grade.
>>730748423The only reason I know about Osmium is because of this game.
How did the French manage to make the best honorary Korean MMORPG of the 2000s?
It's time. Post your 2000s comfort MMO.>Phantasy Star Universe
>>730756176the one and onlylove playing it on cold days
I liked the bizarro fantasy/high tech setting and the weird korean metal soundtrack of Cabalhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPS_rjKz7xQ
>>730756848I miss the early versions with original 6 classes, the old UI that looked far more coherent and items that didn't look like they were crossing into generic chink fantasy territory. Old wizards didn't have those cringy staves, they used hand gestures and orbs for casting.
>Aika>Shaiya>Rappelz>Metin2Who remembers these?
So, anyone gonna tell me what AoC's developers were up to all these years when the game is still in a minimum-viable-product state?Graphics? lolGameplay? lolWorld? lolClasses? lolAudio? lolWriting? lolQuests? lolWhere did all the money, time and effort to? What have they been doing, setting up a sand mine in africa and building a ship to ferry ores to china for chips to use in their custom servers which they forged and fabricated themselves?
>>730757910I do remember playing Metin 2 back in the day. I liked Sura, though if I remember correctly body warrior was just objectively the strongest class.
>>730748306>>730756560I'm stuck on an infinite loop of playing random RO private servers and quitting within a month.I get the itch to play it once or twice a year, but it's just never the same.I made the mistake of playing Ragnarok M Classic a while back. The game is a zombie at this point.
>>730758571>>730759385I'm almost tempted to try out Ragnarok Online 2 after playing RO so much. It can't be as bad as people made it out to be.
>>730758029no clue what's happening now but back during early dev as in the first 1-2 years they were like 5-10 devs
Childhood is wondering why the foreign mmo looks like weird retarded vulgar japanese anime style adulthood is realizing they were korean
>>730760274Yeah this is so much better
>>730760450LMAO
Are there any private Cabal servers? I wonder if it would be fun to play, maybe with increased drop and exp rates to reduce the grind
>>730761419There's one called PlayCabal. Currently has 1.1k players online. Seems like the most legit Cabal private server.
>>730745070Not a Korean MMO, the developers were western, NCSoft was just the publisher they found that would take on the game. Try not posting an actual good game in this sea of gook garbage, especially because NCsoft shut it down because their big men in Korea didn't like it.
>>730761717so it's a korean mmo
>>730761580huh, sounds cool
>>730762508>free premium for everyoneholy based
>>730762508Damn I should try this
>>730744443anyone remember aion online?
For me, it was the Force Blader. Coolest fucker in the game.
>>730762508Last I played it was something like episode 6. It's up to 35 or so and the client is still all lose files, meaning we can effortlessly swap models for equipment.Fun fact: Cabal always had a built-in MP3 player. You can drop your own music in the designated folder.
Sometimes I feel like I'd like to do some stupid grindan' in a shitty korean mmo, but god, I'm just too old to be able to afford to waste that much time
