My yearly urge to play MMO RPGs is acting up again.Are there any new developments about viable (semi-)modern MMORPGs without MTX?I am fine with upfront price and subscription, or even both. But I can't stand any form of MTX. P-Servers are fine too.
I ended up going back to wow retail but f2p
>>736284835I guess MTX doesn't really fit here, but macrotransactions are also a no-no for mehttps://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/wow-classic-service-boost-progression?p=1919780&pfm=rec-recommendedhttps://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/world-of-warcraft-service-character-boost?pfm=rec-recommendedhttps://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/family/world-of-warcraft#housing...
Same boat, recco some games fags.I guess you could check out >>>/vm/2243009They check out different MMOs every half a month, I've joined a couple, it's pretty comfy
>>736285130I have like 700 hours in spiral knights, but its the most MTX riddled "MMO""RPG" in existence. I am done with it. I want long term commitment to something sane.
>>736284717All mmos are pay to win, even in the few ones that aren't there's black market ran by players where you can buy all sort of competitive advantage.One of the big reasons why mmo died as a genre is because autists realized that it's way more efficient to work a shift at mcd's and whale everything than actually playing the game
>>736285942I have probably have 5000-10000 hours on ragnarok online p-servers, where some still exist that didn't even have a donate button.But most of them only have 0-30 players left at any given point in time.There also were some Blade and Soul p-servers like that, but they died quickly.But I guess if there is still none, then I will just have to ask next year again.
>>736284931F2P caps at 20 and can't access housing yet so those are not relevant. But I suppose you mean any form of in-game advertising for real money shop, and that's always there.
>>736285276Eh, just wait for them to play something else. lol
>>736286290Like what? My question is what viable games exist.And like >>736285942 says its likely there are still none, so lurking there wouldn't help anyway.
>>736284717Monsters and Memories. afaik the game will be just a subscription, no box price either
>>736286336>wants to play an MMO>is mentally illthere goes my feeling of wanting to play an MMO, I hate dealing with you retards
>>736286379Interesting, I will keep it bookmarked to see when it releases.>>736286445Thank you Dr. /v/ for my diagnosis. What is your recommended cure? Blindly accepting dark patterns abusing mental weaknesses in humans?
>>736284717Literally only OSRS Ironman mode(s). Everything else has some sort of microtransaction or is dead. MMO pservers are always extremely corrupt, they all have microtransactions if you ask the right way.
>>736284717In 2 days /rog/ will be starting the new season of cc-ro The thread is on /vm/
>>736286605Monsters and Memories is in closed beta right now. On June 1st the game will go into EA (progress will carry over into 1.0)
How did the French manage to make the best MMORPG of 2026?
>>736286665I have thought about it, but Already back then I chose RO over RS. Also there these Bonds you can buy in RS. I heard RS3 also removed MTX now, but not sure if it is true thus>>736286690looks really promising. I guess we can't have a modern MMORPG yet with my criteria. Thank you both.>>736286890I don't like the idea of beta testing for free, and especially not paying to beta test. But I will take a look on release. Thank you.
>>736284717dead genre, move onto non-muhmorepigger mmos, like everyone else with a brain already did decades ago
>>736286690is it renewal
>>736287952No trans. It's a fairly fast paced card hunt that lasts around 3 weeks to a month.The card buffs eventually get you to trans level numbers once you collect enough.It's a lot of fun if you want a quick fix and the server resets every 3 months.
>>736284717I didn't realize until recently but Guild Wars has remake. Haven't played it but i don't think GW had microtransactions?
>>736288419It has macro shop that OP doesn't want either >>736284931More character slots, mercenary heroes, etc.
>>736288419Sadly it does https://store.guildwars.com/en-usAlso I am not a fan of remakes. I'd just rather play the originals instead and use my money on real innovation instead of nostalgia farming.
>>736288587>>736288626Well bugger me, that's sad
>>736288419gaynet is basically the peak of what everything op hates about muhmorepiggers is
>>736288626It's not a remake but some QoL updates to the same game from 20 years ago.
i had a dream last night i was playing an mmo and i was with a group of people hiding on a balcony in some kind of crumbling fort in a pvp zone. there were two max level players with us talking over the mic. one of them was clearly ian mckellen and he was playing a gandalf type wizard, and with him was another old guy as another type of wizard that seems to specialize in force fields, they were arguing like gay lovers over the mic. the other wizard summoned a force field around his head like an astronaut helmet. i was a higher level warrior type character. the enemy started poking in the fort then i jumped down and shot a cross brow then started attacking them with my flaming sword.
