let's play something fun this time
>>2918273Can we add Sherwood Dungeon to the list? It's a very old indie MMO who ran through unity 3d browser webhooks back then, while not remarkable in anything in particular, the sceneries of the game were quite lovely, and the game had lots of hidden details here and there, which encouraged you to travel off from the beaten path, stuff like secret quests, changing the race of your character through hidden questlines, taming monsters to be your goons and so on.
>PT was so bad that anons didn't even bother to do a screenshot dayOuch, guess we found a game people are less willing to play than Aion and Icarus
>>2918764I played this in the browser way back in the day, is there enough content for two weeks?
>>2918802Just enough for two weeks, I no lifed it and cleared the big ass dwagon in one week ans a half. I also remember that you could make player dungeons
>>2918787It's moreso that none of our usual photographers are playing that one, and those who did take screenshots aren't the type to post them in the thread for some reason.While it still happened at the usual time, the call for a photoshoot was made very late in PT's thread, leading to some initial ambiguity as to whether it would be a thing.
>>2918825The anon on the main thread said there were literally <one> anon playing when it reached the alloted time, that for a saturday is very grim.It's over, Jimbo
>>2918574Plead permission from the clique.
>>2918787the clique are boycotting because gema got gaped
>>2918832>The anon on the main thread said there were literally <one> anon playing when it reached the alloted timeI think you’re talking about my post. Just to clarify, I didn’t say that, but the outcome is still the same.We were two at 21:15Z and then another anon showed up a bit later. But it made no sense to take pics with so few people so we didn't.then one anon logged off and I think I logged out at around 23:00Z>>2918825>those who did take screenshots aren't the type to post them in the thread for some reason.once again, who took screenshots and with whom? was it after I logged out?>the call for a photoshoot was made very late in PT's thread, leading to some initial ambiguity as to whether it would be a thing.true, next one will be made on time.
>>2918825>our usual photographersSo the clique posting selfies with each other + Alle posting enough random screenshots to make up for everybody else who has ever participated in this project, combined.
>>2918859please please please please please clique-sama do what I ask.
>>2918787This is what happens when you drive off the clique.
RapeMaster took Match, Gema and Sheep into his Harem..they are "grinding" "mobs" in CoH now as we speak...He..He won..

you guys ever talk about video games here
Yeah, we talk about videogames, videogaymes, guhhhhhhhhhaha
I've been lurking 4chan for over 20 years at this point. I never thought full anonymity as a drawback to this site whatsoever, but holy shit. We really do need post ID's. It's extremely disappointing to see what these threads have devolved into just due to one or two mentally ill posters that are allowed to roam free with no repercussions.What the fuck even are the previous 12 posts or so? Seriously, pathetic. Get help. It's a shame really because the threads no longer reflect the spirit nor in-game experience.>inb4 "lul u conflate all negative post to 1 person huehue">inb4 more random namedroppingGet a new shtick, this isn't even amusing at this point. It's so predictable that it's just boring and repetitive.Also, rule 14.
>>2918764this is a game? I thought it was just a wow themed rp hub
>>2921005its a 3rd person dungeon crawler mmo with "Actual" combat, its just kind of primitive
>>2920979Just do what /agdg/ on /vg/ did and make the threads on /bant/ instead.
>>2920979>>Also, rule 14.? Not relevant here at allAlso your whining is pathetic and just feeds any trolls, for someone who claims to lurk here for 20 years you act like a tourist
As this seems to be a rather quiet night, I've conducted some cursory server research regarding a few of the titles due to be voted on for next Saturday's pick.Annoyingly, several promising private servers for said titles appear to require Discord for account creation, meaning I'll only be listing them for the sake of academic completion. Immensely annoying when promising servers become effectively barred from us because of this. It's a real problem.==Dark Age of Camelot==>Eden [Requires Discord]- Modern-style server, which includes content from several expansions- Large swathes of QoL features added, such as an in-game macro builder and visible damage numbers when striking enemies- Notably higher population on-average compared to rival serverhttps://eden-daoc.net/>Blackthorn- "Classic+"-style server, largely based on pre-Shrouded Isles content (the first expansion ever released for DAoC)- Has classes from Shrouded Isles expansion, but no maps or modes- Uses oldschool models/textures- Hosted in Germanyhttps://blackthorn-daoc.com/==Lord of the Rings Online==>Echoes of Angmar [Requires Discord]- Classic-style progression server, built around the 2007/Book 11-era client- Does not allow multi-boxing- Hosted in some nebulous region of the EU (probably Germany)https://www.echoesofangmar.com/[1/3]
>>2921103==Earth and Beyond==>Net-7- Space exploration and combat focused title, similar to the old Freelancer games- Three different categories of level to progress your character: Combat, Exploration, Trade- Seemingly unmodified from the original retail clienthttps://www.net-7.org/==Luminary: Rise of the Goonzu==>GoonZu: A New Hope- 2D isometric CMMO grindfest- No classes, characters progression is based on weapon/tradeskill proficiency- Light politics/election system, influencing who controls regions and whether minor buffs are applied to them- Closest equivalent would be a much, much older and jankier Nin Onlinehttps://www.playgoonzu.is/==Wonderland Online==>Wonderland Infinite- 2D isometric CMMO grindfest, but with turn-based JRPG combat...!- Rebalanced classes and quest rewards- Very likely hosted in Taiwan (rev-up those throwaway e-mails for this one)>https://wloi.org/---DC Universe Online does not appear to have any active private servers at this time.AdventureQuest Worlds /does/ have a few private servers to its name, yet public opinion on them is apparently quite sour, so I haven't included them here. Although it does appear the playerbase for AdventureQuest in [current year] is largely comprised of surly 30-somethings still playing the flash game they enjoyed as children, so the validity of those claims is debatable.>>2918901>Alle posting enough random screenshots to make up for everybody else who has ever participated in this project, combined.H-hey now, most of my 'caps stem from photoshoot events these days. Haven't done the whole pseudo-blogposting thing in quite some time, relative to this project. Just got burned-out on it, honestly. It's more work to make those posts than one might expect.[2/3]
>>2921107==Asheron's Call==Christ alive, there are so many private servers for this game, due to nearly all of them running off the same server emulator. Will just give a short blurb about the more-popular choices.Many of them feature custom content in some way, which isn't always a bad thing for a title which came out in 1999.All severs are apparently accessed via third-party launcher, somewhat similar to City of Heroes. Will categorize each server under which codebase said server runs on. Most servers have account creation upon startup, so they shouldn't require Discord (in theory).---ACEmulator (ACE)--->DreamWeaveRecently-launched retail-era server, with a variety of QoL features added. Also features new class abilities and a new crafting system, despite proclaiming to be a largely unmodified retail experience.>Levistras100% bot-free*! The only server with a hard limit of two accounts per IP, increasing your chances of finding an actual human out in the wilds. No clue what its rates might be, however.>InfiniteLeaftideCustom retail-era experience with infinite scaling, via uncapped levels and account-wide +XP% bonuses from completing quests. Most-popular server on the ACE client, excluding ones which openly allow botting.>ConquestCustom PvE server with enhanced crafting mechanics and a functional PK system. Second most-popular server on the ACE client, excluding ones which - again - openly allow botting.>PortalStormCustom PvE server with "years of custom content". Third most-popular server on the ACE client, excluding ones which blah-blah-blah.---GDL--->ReefcullThe closest thing to a #NoChanges retail server for the GDL codebase (supposedly). No limit on account registration.>SeedsowThe closest thing to a Classic-era experience full stop, based around the Dark Majesty era. Must use classic AC .dats to access.[3/3]
Asheron's call looks to be one of the great granddaddies of MMORPGS
>>2921091I want to believe it's bait mostly because of>Seriously, pathetic. Get help.
>>2921107>Closest equivalent would be a much, much older and jankier Nin OnlineYou son of a bitch im in
>>2921107>- Closest equivalent would be a much, much older and jankier Nin OnlineI was confused for a sec because of picrelated, then I read on the homepage>GoonZu: A New Hope is an independent game, built from scratch with our own code and only inspired by the original, so your experience may not be the same.It’s the private server’s first anniversary. makes sense
>>2920979with the right means, you can get around anonimity being a burden. did you know our resident little schizo rarely posts on the game threads? interesting.
>>2921358now this is paranoid schizophrenia
>>2921153It was one of the first fully polygonal ones, yes. Maybe not THE first, but certainly in the same ballpark.AC is the closest thing this project is getting to Everquest 1, for those interested in witnessing what the genre was like during its early days.
>>2921358Gema, we have already proved that the shadows you are constantly jumping at are all in your head and there's no singular "schizo" in the project threads. Using an AI to detect and hide posts is incredibly retarded, especially if you are hiding posts with as little as a 75% "match" Perhaps you would prefer it over on reddit.
>>2921366>we

>>2921189>>2921091It's Boggie, same writing style and same outbursts as before, seems he still salty that we all abandoned him during Crusty Krabs. He was always a whiney faggot, also, not an oldfag at all, he started playing with us this year
>>2921316Couldn't they bother to make a homepage by themselves? This eye banner format is making me annoyed at this point.Also>by ThiagoLmao
>>2921370We are many.>>2921380I kneel..
>>2921103>>2921107>>2921115Thanks for your work nonny! Wasn't aware that Asheron had that many servers
Why isn't EQ1 on the list again? Bet there's more people playing CoH and PSU than it
>>2921512No idea, feels like we've slowly been loosening the restrictions on what can be on the list. If we let LOTRO be on there, surely we need to let Star Trek Online be on there too
>>2921512EQ wasn't on the list because it had a general on /vm/ when this project started
>>2921419>>2921103>picrelatedseems like Blackthorn isn't publicly available atm.Reading over r*ddit, it seems like they recently started the beta which instantly put levels you up to 50.>Quick reminder that on August 28, 2026 8:00 PM CET we will re-open the server for the final phase before launch; instant 50.>You will be able to instantly level new or old characters to 50 and receive gold, RPs, craft skills and gear. You can change your weapon speeds, add procs or charges via an NPC or buy pots and dyes, poisons, arrows etc and jump straight into the action.So we'd have to either go to the discordfags server OR retail.retail server doesn't look THAT bad either for a F2P.It used to have way more limitations, but recently they have lifted them.https://www.darkageofcamelot.com/endless-conquest-faq/summary:You can:>get to max level>do all content>use any class and raceYou can't>create a guild (but you can join one)>craft shit>own or even enter a house (hobo bros...)main issue is the guild, and I doubt we have an insider like we had in NIN that could create the guild for us.Tbh I don't like any option, and I'd rather wait november and hope this blackthorn server doesn't suck.
>>2921316Holy obvious AI generated picture though>>2921358>98% MatchI knew it was Match all along!
>>2921517It is on there
>>2921551>hobo bros
>>2921551>launches in november>it's instant capwhat the fuck
>>2921512I think it has something to do with active generals and not wanting to intrude on those generals or confuse people with having two threads: The MMOD thread and the general. EQ's is one of the most active generals. Its why Tree of Savior isn't on the list even though it has 10 people actively playing at once which is extremely dead. Because it has a "general" even though its just one person necrobumping it over an over.
>>2921594I thought ToS had some activity because of private servers but I haven't looked at the thread
>>2921593mmmmhhh, I think the august BETA was instant cap, because supposedly they wanted to test the endgame.the server on lunch shouldn't be instant cap.
>>2921596the tos private servers are just as retarded and shit as the official server so im not too bothered about not playing it either, call me when someone releases a server based on icbt1 or icbt2 at the latest
>>2921517Camelot itself is still somewhat played, I believe.Same with Aion (if we exclude the barren dogshit server we chose) and CoH (if we exclude the barren but soulful server we chose).personally I would add any mmorpg we can think of to the list as long as a free server exists.If people dont' want to play them, they'll vote something else.I understand that adding WoW, for example, makes little to no sense given its huge popularity, but then again, who cares? Popular mmorpgs aren't that many anyway.Removing games with active generals seems fine, or at least putting them in the bench. >>2921594but I'm just a newfag in /mmod/ so I'll just shut up now
>>2921598ohh right I get it nowyeah let's hold off until that release and then vote in daoc
>>2921598>lunchI hate my keyboard and myself so much
>>2921618don't worry thirdie we make typos all the time
>>2921532But it doesn't anymore, so I see no reason not to, same as Star Trek online.I feel the only MMOMOS from old who should not be covered here are EVE, FF11 and KOTOR Online due to them still recieving proper support with a reasonable playerbase, everything else is fair game, I feel
>>2921608Nah, ya have a point, while I don't feel we should add stuff still supported (Worlo, Finno Fano, those chink MMOS), everything else should be fair game, we will eventually need to touch those games anyway, some of the games in the bin aren't in any playable state atm
>>2921510>Wasn't aware that Asheron had that many serversNeither was I! Expected to only stumble across a couple of 'em, but evidently AC1 has an entire ecosystem of servers for those keen on playing this fascinating relic.As someone who didn't get into the MMO genre 'til a few years after AC's initial release, I decided to mess around for about an hour on one of its many, many servers, just to see what I might've missed (probably not one we'll end up choosing, don't worry). It is very much a title best met on its own terms, with full understanding of the context surrounding it... Said context being:>"Whoa, it's 1999 and I get to play a fully 3D CRPG with HUNDREDS of other people across the world? That's so COOL!"There is a /lot/ of late 90s CRPG DNA in Asheron's Call, unsurprisingly.You strike your foes at high/medium/low heights, and vary how much power you put into your swing by how long you hold down those respective attack keys. Objects in your inventory are used/given to other objects/NPCs in the world by physically dragging those icons out of your inventory bag, and onto what you want to give them to. You are fully expected to read NPC dialog, and use context clues of your surroundings to have any clue of what to do and where to go. Et cetera.It is an incredibly oldschool experience, but one with a lot of charm. I can see its appeal, provided we have the patience for it.>>2921551Thank (You) for following-up on my remedial research.Knowing that PvP/RvR is such a crucial part of the Dark Age of Camelot experience, and being well-aware that the best time to hop onto a PvP-focused title is when a new server for it goes up and everyone is briefly on equal footing, I would agree with >>2921613 in waiting 'til Blackthorn launches on the 28th of November before we consider voting on it.Pressure would be on for us to visit said DAoC server during its launch window, however, as there really wouldn't be any better time to sample that title.
>>2921697Didn't read, but your pic made my cock hard, thanks anon
>>2921689It's fine if we wanna add themEQ is the sort of game where we won't get anywhere in 2 weeks though
>>2921693>Worlo, Finno FanoDo you have brain damage?
>>2921703look at where you are
>>2921693>Worlo, Finno Fanoahh shawty finna fanno muh worlo type shii
>>2921517>we've slowly been loosening the restrictions on what can be on the listI don't really mind this if it means we can play something fucking fun sometimes
>>2921693Waldo would just be a bad time and you can't xiv anything of consequence in two weeks. Both are questslop anyway.
>>2921703Learn proper lingo, newbab
>>2921828Some versions of Walie are alright, better than most of the koreanslop we played, but I don't think it fits the scope of this project>QuestslopIsn't this like 99% of the games we played?
>>2921860>proper lingoYou are the only one who uses retarded "lingo" like that.
>>2921868there are some wololo modded servers that function as complete standalone games like that one naruto one
>>2921874This board already got colonized by big dik /v/ and /vg/ anons, better learn how we talk, homeboy
>>2921596Last I checked (which was admittedly a few months ago), both Tree of Savior private servers required Discord for account creation anyway, so that'd rule them out of the running by default.Frustratingly, the vast majority of servers for MMOs hosted within the past ~3-5 years simply expect the user to be okay with joining their insular little Discord channel, and interfacing with some channel bot to make an account. It's something which has, and will continue to, deny us of potentially interesting titles/servers throughout this project, so long as anything related to Discord is an instant "no".Not like it's hard to make a throwaway Discord account for those occasions, but yeah, I do get it. It's annoying as hell for so much of the MMO development 'scene to be shunted onto a fucking closed-circle IMing client, infamous for being difficult to search or archive.Although that's moreso a symptom of a much wider problem with the 'Net as a whole these days.
>>2921874Lurk more one hundred years, thank you.
>>2921887>>2921901>you need to use my ebonicsNo.
>>2921897I don't get it. What is even the point of registration via Discord? Why do people do this? Makes no sense to me.
>>2921907sheer laziness, its quicker to set up a discord server than a website
>>2921907a misguided attempt to foster community
>>2921897It's not only private servers, everything is happening on discord nowadays, mod developing, troubleshooting for games and software, gaming forums and so on, I hate it because searching stuff there is a bitch, but that's just a sad reality that the new gen accepted and embraced it.Making a discord for a private server, setting up a bot to check credentials and forget, is much easier than making a webpage, paying for said webpage and mantaining all the systems tied to it.At this point, we should just accept it and remove this limitation if that ends up hampering our progress
>>2921915>At this point, we should just accept it and remove this limitation if that ends up hampering our progressMost nonnies here use discord anyway
>>2921907Basically what >>2921915 said, most of those people grew on the cord, so they use the cord for this project because everyone else is also using the cord. It's one of those "We are getting too old to understand" shtick. Besides, making a discord hub is mucher easier than a webpage, and you can do it for free
>>2921923>It's one of those "We are getting too old to understand" shtickFuck, I don't like this. We should forbid young people.
>>2921923My initial doomer reaction was lamenting over bespoke websites not being made for private servers anymore. But yeah, you're absolutely right from a practical perspective.Hosting some Discord outlet and grabbing an off-the-shelf bot to handle accounts/services is exponentially easier than actually bothering to do web design and having to pay for web hosting. Not to mention it poses much less of a footprint on the wider Internet for the hypothetical server to be traced back to its admin.We've been getting lucky in finding websites for these old and forgotten MMO servers, but sticking exclusively to them IS going to become an issue somewhere down the line, and prevent us from playing certain games entirely (like ToS for what it's worth).
>>2921938its coming back around with people vibecoding websites now
>>2921941Only for bigger projects. Webhosting is still an expense that can get you buttfucked due to copyright issues and handling data is even more of a bitch with vibecoded websites. We were getting lucky for most of our games til now, but some of the games in the list have like only 30 people in Mongolia that care about said game, so the whole pserver is kept in a discord hub barely touched in the last 10 years
>>2921933>We should forbid young peopleAnyone below 30 shouldn't be here and I think that's even five years too young.
>>2921953How much dick cheese you have, Oji-san~
>>2920979>newfag clique member can't help but grow upset any time anybody outside the clique mentions the clique>>2921358>same tired complaint where everybody is blinded by lollipops and rainbows for the past two years except for one guyLol!>>2921532The current "EQ general" is the Monsters and Memories thread on /vrpg/. There is a Solocraft EQ thread on /vm/ HOWWWWWWWWWWWEVER the server admin (4channer, not some random) is a virtue signaler who will ban you from his server if you don't worship Christianity lmao another private server is ran by a transsexual with an obsessed anon who brings up the guy and reminds everybody on a near-daily basis.
>>2921887>weYou mean (You). It is up to you if you want to speak like a retard I guess.
>>2921953I'm fine with newbabs trying these games, so long as they understand that the entire MMO genre was built for a higher commitment of attention span than most of what their generation was weaned on.Also so long as they don't act like retards in the thread, obviously, which can be a tall ask depending on the game/board.
>>2921897I don't really have an issue with the registration even if it is dumb. The real issue is the inevitable loss of data. Not only does useful information get lost in the sea of messages on a discord server but there's a bunch of ways for those messages to outright disappear and then it's just gone. >>2921948>We were getting lucky for most of our games til nowI think that's because we are playing a bunch of games/servers from pre-discord era. They are so old that discord zoomies won't bother with them.
>>2921991More than zoomiers use discord now though, I've seen a lot of boomer internet forums completely migrate to discord.
>>2922001They sure are and it is a big mistake.
>>2921991I miss forums. Discord was NOT an adequate replacement.
>>2922021Indeed. Discord is IRC+voice chat.
>>2922021Still pissy that Nin gutted it's forum and force moved everyone to discord. The forum bants were amazing the more you digged deeper, some of those retards were really creative
>>2922038That was always the potential of internet arguments until we entered the cope-seethe-dilate flowchart meta.
>>2921107I'm the only WLO voter here so it doesn't matter, but check out WLO Safe Haven:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM91AeBb8q8
>>2921941Not really, whatever gain of website creation has booned from the splurge of LLM assisted help has been punched down 5000 times by the barrage of AI data scrapers buttfucking bandwidth and CPU of said servers and scriptkiddies running Claude on websites to find vulnerabilities.
>>2922490On a serious note when it's time the wisest option seems to be playing on Rhode Island, the official server. https://wlr.dragongamerhk.com/index.phpThere's a population and it works, the translation patch seems to function. Registering an account is part of the adventure. (Can you find the download button?)
>>2922557>vigorous and supple loliUoh, alright, maybe Wonderland wouldn't be such a bad pick.Vaguely recall comments about it devolving into an autobattler, though. Maybe that was moreso for the mobile version, Wonderland-M.
>>2922572The one fight I did felt very RPG maker copying FF. My only complaint is that it's quite laggy to play because every action, like initiating a conversation with an NPC, waits for the server to respond. I'm going to stop now because it's the sort of game I want to play with mmod whenever/if it ends up happening.
>>2922557is this like a chinese ragnarok rip off

>>2925119>>2925206I just want an Asian MMO in general break. They seem to be the least popular of the MMOS in terms of general number of people playing them, only really being popular with a certain subset of people here. Plus it's been three in a row, and three in a row of controversial private server choices too and weird janky private servers.I think Asian MMOs work once in a while, but not back to back, due to how similar they all are.
>Dark Age Of CamelotTheres a new server coming out soon so lets hold off until then>Luminary: Rise Of The GoonzuLooks generic, seems people are only interested in it because hehe it has goon in the name like how people voted for Priston Tale because it sounds like Prison Tale>The Lord Of The Rings OnlineNot yet, I do not feel now is the time, but SOON>AQWorldsWould be cool as long as people are aware of what they're voting for>Earth And BeyondWould be cool>Asheron's CallWould be cool>DC Universe OnlineToo soon for more capeshit>Wonderland OnlineThis also seems alright since its turn based so its a little more unique, but maybe not this time around. Next time?
Even though I didn’t vote for it, I’d like to point out that Goonzu is currently hosting its anniversary event where you have to dodge 'coons to win a box of "friendship chocolate" >>2921316
>>2924801>OOOOH YEAH I'M VOOTINI say this whenever I vote and then I slap my big ol belly and chortle
>>2925402Me when I choose Rose Online as my second option and never my first.
I really did join this project way too late, damn.
>>2925704Theres always our revisits too if there was one you wanted to play.
If anons bitched about how wartale sign-up was retarded, and it eventually created a server chasm, oh boy, get ready for Earth and Beyond.
>>2925924it was a schism not chasm
>>2925930well, yes! some neurolinguistic fuckery happened there.
>>2925924>get ready for Earth and Beyond.what server options are there?
>>2925930You mean 'tism?
>>2925949I just checked Net-7 which seems to be the only one. I mean it's not that hard, same logic, create a forum account, then create a game account. FAQ on the site holds your hand, a bit dated UI thats all.
>>2926223>create a forum account, then create a game accountthat's not that badmention it in the op with the correct links and it should be clear enough
>>2926229yeah didn't get what was so hard about wartale before. I was absent during the start.
>>2925924We'll just choose a game with no private servers to get rid of the privaate server tism
>>2926248is there even another private server for that game? having only 1 pserver also fixes the 'tism
>>2926248Based live server advocate
>>2925924>how wartale sign-up was retardedi still don't get this oneit's literally a button that says "account" and if you're blind in one eye there's also one that says "create account"
>>2926472this looks completely different from what I'm seeing on wartale.com. but the confusion was with the forum/game account duality. not the design.
The only thing I ask for the next game is to have a download that doesn't look like it'd give me 30 separate pieces of malware
>>2926514I think some people had issues after they made one account and couldn't make the other?
>>2926556I think League of Legends might be more your style

uh oh anvil melty
bi-weekly movie nights have been running for over 2 years this nigga anvil has a watchtime 10x longer than his mmo playtime atp and he is one of the "core" members HAHAHAHAHA
>>2925345all MMOs are similar it's just different tropes, play Chinese games all same, Korean games all same, western games all same.
>>2925924looked up a little about it for additional information so we dont have a shitty start like we did with prison tale. there are factions in the game but theyre not restricted from playing together everything is crossfaction including guilds so no need for a faction poll
>>2925924Asheron’s Call offers dozens of servers to choose from, as shown in exhibit >>2921115 making the chances of people sperging out much higher compared to Earth & Beyond, which has only one private server.Therefore, the supposed difficulty of signing up is irrelevant.
I will vote for AQW and I hope y'all do the same, capiche?
I vote for the game with the cutest anime girls
>3 anons would rather have another week of priston tale than play an undisclosed mmo they hateW-what did those MMOs do to you to fuel such hatred?
>>2928742DAoC and it's not hatred it just shouldn't get picked this time since we wanna wait for the server.
>>2928747I thought so at first, but it’s not DAoC, since I’d expect to see some votes for it as the 9th choice.
>>2928742Wonderland looks like miserable cutesy uguu shit and DC Universe feels a bit too close to CoH.I might shoot myself in the back of the head if I have to play Wonderland for two weeks.
>>2928742Retards feel the need to press all buttons. I usually just pick 1, 2 and 3, cause I know I might cuck my choice if I pick too many games
>>2928863I like adding more volatility to the vote
>>2928867How do you sleep knowing you were responsible for the weird voting swings that led our project to this sorry state?
>>2928878pretty comfily
>>2928742Hey guys I'm a tourist.1. Why exactly is Priston Tale getting so much hate?2. Is this whole shit fun, or is just NEETs who have literally nothing better to do?In other words, if I do have a better game to play, should I try out your adventure, or go back to my good game?
>>2928933>1. Why exactly is Priston Tale getting so much hate?It's old with clunky controls and the gameplay is incredibly grindy and boring. Also, unless you have spent 2000 hours on that game, you can't really afk while farming because you'll constantly run out of mana/hp/sp so you need to spam pots all day long.>2. Is this whole shit fun, or is just NEETs who have literally nothing better to do?pretty hard to give a proper answer. Overall I'd say I have fun or I would be a complete retard to have stuck with this group. But some titles just aren't that great.>In other words, if I do have a better game to play, should I try out your adventure, or go back to my good game?try joining in when we play a game that seems interesting to you.
>>2928933>1. Why exactly is Priston Tale getting so much hate?You know those games where you constantly have to chug HP potions and SP potions like a madman while the gameplay is horrendously boring and monotonous of standing still in one spot while spamming one skill?Well, this one has THREE potions to chug.
>>2928933>Is this whole shit fun, or is just NEETs who have literally nothing better to do?It's literally just NEETs, but you can still have fun with them. It's kind of a unique experience playing abandoned MMOs with a bunch of autists. I can't do it for too long though, so I just drop in occasionally.There's a lot of shitflinging in the threads, people in-game are generally nice and helpful.
>>2929163ok but I still think Maplestory is fun
>>2928742One of those is me and the MMO I refused to vote for was LOTRO
>>2928742>>2928933Priston Tale isn't the best but its not the worst. It's like a lower C tier game.
>>2929535This year? It's only better than like Icarus and Aion, everything else is better
>>2929654Aion was better. Even considering the shitty server we played on.
>>2929713>Aion was betterOn what metric? Auto attacker (third person) on quest railroad vs auto attack(isometric) on level treadmill. At least PT doesn't lock you in place doing boring quests with slow ass animations, priston soundtrack and art design are miles better
>>2926895Time's up, here are our movies for the night.I'll be fetching the links for the movie. Feel free to join while we listen to some music:https://hyperbeam.com/app/room/zMCev-AJS9CbYgYzs7elvAInvite for newfrens (let me know if it expires):https://hyperbeam.com/i/2fTTqkd2
Aion managed to be more hated than Icarus, what are you on?
>>2928933It's a bit like bondage. You get a sense of relief when you go back to a good game after playing kusoge for a few hundred hours. It makes good games seem better by comparison.
>>2929291>the MMO I refused to vote for was non-animeKeep us posted, cliquenig.
lotr is most normalnigger shit everanime website tourist
>>2929780Not really. The server people chose was, but not much the game.
>>2929806No i'm the non clique ausfag, I've just sunk hundreds of hours into lotro already.(I'm also not a fan of anime)
>>2929808>touristlurk a lot moar, 2016+er>>2929907>I've just sunk hundreds of hours into lotro alreadyI feel you there. I can't see this group getting past Bree as a collective, within two weeks. Imagine the Barrow-downs grind runs though!!!!!!
>>2929950Wdym? I will spend my two weeks making weed in the Shire while I play violin
>>2929654I'd consider a lot worse. Icarus and LaTale specifically. I'd put Rusty below it even though I liked Rusty. And hating on Aion is a meme anyways.
>>2930269Oh and Toontown, I'd put Toontown below Priston too.
>>2930271>Toontown>The game anons bothered to stick around even after many moved outNah, Toontown had soul, loved deco'ing my house and the cartoon shenanigans were fun

>>2931168i played it a bit, including the beta, but ultimately stuck with EQthe magic system sounds interesting, i want to know what happened with itthere is another mmo i played that had a system with similar intent that players also completely subvertedthe biggest thing I remember about AC was some people complained about always getting killed first when trains happened and people made fun of them and the dev's denied itthen years later the devs finally admitted that they were wrong and the Wi flag was real and fixed it
Happy 9/11You get out of prison tomorrow!

>>2934192congratulations muhamed!aim for important people this time not innocents
>asheron's call is now 3 votes aheadI'm not looking forward the inevitable server drama.
>>2934970Eh every server has had server drama lately so I'm used to it.
>>2934970Let's see if I can alleviate that.While I've listed several servers previously (>>2921115), I'll narrow them down to the choicest cuts, so we aren't having to bicker over 8+ servers in a single poll. Also included a rough player count found via treestats.net, for those concerned of landing on a dead server.("End-of-Retail" means all expansion content is included on that specific server).>LeafDawnLargely vanilla End-of-Retail client, plus some custom content. This one appears to be the most stock-standard of all the ACE-compatible servers, 1x rates and all.- Players as of this writing: 72>InfiniteLeaftideEnd-of-Retail, plus custom post-retail content. Gain account-wide +0.5% EXP/Luminary bonuses for every quest completed, incentivizing exploration over raw grind (at least for a while).Likely to see the most content on this server over the others, due to its emphasis on questing and gaining flecks of +EXP% throughout the leveling climb.- Players as of this writing: 249>SunderingEnd-of-Retail with various quality-of-life additions/conveniences, as seen here (there's quite a lot): https://sunderingac.com/index.php/ChangesAppears to be 1x rates by default, so this is more of a "Retail+" type of experience.- Players as of this writing: 59>DreamWeaveRecently-launched open beta (runs 'til the end of September). End-of-Retail with a redefined class system via server-exclusive Class Abilities, and a revamped crafting system adding even more modifiers to your equipment.- Players as of this writing: 39Not the Anon who makes the polls around here, so hopefully someone with that authority can whip-up a server poll with these options later today, should AC be chosen for this go-around.If that ends up happening, I'll post a link to the ACEmulator client where all of these servers are located, with instructions on how to set it up. (Or (You) could just look that up yourself, obviously).
>>2934970for me? it's a classic server with low rates
>>2935002Very well anon, nice curated list with sensible picks, however...>Anon who makes the polls around here...add all of them and let the 'tism royal rumble unfold!
>>2935002>>LeafDawn>>InfiniteLeaftideone of these
>>2935024Jej, told you there are way too many AC servers.It's kind of heartening, in a way, to see such a ridiculous number of servers still being maintained for this title. There's clearly a passionate community for this one, maintained over the past nearly 27 years.Although yes, I did curate the list extensively to better align with our previously-shown tastes from other titles. Many of the options on that giga-list are either dead, overly customized, PvP-focused... Or are running off GDL/GDLE rather than the ACEmulator, which would add even more hoops to jump through in an already hoop-laden title.>>2935030It's a toss-up between InfiniteLeaftide and Sundering for me, leaning moreso towards IL. Luv me meta-progression systems.
Question. Where did Asheron's Call dominating the vote come from? I don't even think I saw anyone shilling for it this round.
gookslop fatigue so people just voted for a og western title
is OP pic the ones you guys have played?
>>2935191yes
>>2935201nicewas warhammer still a fuckup? i played it years ago but too many people switched sides when they were losing
>>2935191Yes.You can find the list of games we haven’t played yet on the website.If you don’t see an MMO you think should be included, feel free to suggest it.
>>2935206nah. i like what you guys are doing but i'm too burn with mmorpgs to joinlast one i played alone
>the CoH server wars are still goingJesus christ
>>2935080>>2935185the thread was leaning towards DAoC but server research revealed that we should wait for a cool server to release so people shifted over to AC as the other old western mmorpg option
>>2935237>Dakka dakka dakkaSOVL
>>2935205Not many people played. Non-anime + PvP.
Bros, I watched a gameplay video of AC, and it seems like the kind of game I wouldn’t have touched even as a kiddo in the 90s, let alone now.
>>2935808enjoy your vacation
>>2935205It was fine when we played. Though outside of the instanced pvp it was mostly standing around outside of doors.
>>2935735Some anons here seem to have fond memories of it, and I enjoyed my stay on it too.It was also funni how a /heals/ guild wanted to try the game at the same time we were playing, they were all elf sluts, and that ended up with us bumping into each other often in the siege zones, and man, those sluts jobbed hard all the time
>>2936235OIL! OIL! OIL! OIL! OIL! OIL! OIL! OIL! OIL!
>>2936235If you were ranged then you might get to plink somebody every now and again.If you were melee then you had one hand on your dick rubbing it to those stupid sexy doors.
Game 59 Finals are over.The winner and the next game for the MMOdventure is...Asheron's Call!I'm not entirely sure if I'll have the time to set up a server poll. I can let you know in about 10 hours.results link:https://www.rcv123.org/results/FhWwW4jVgCg7RQ68MMH8GmJ9/
I am not the pollmaker (again), but as previously stated, here is the download/installation guide for ACEmulator (Plebbit spacing for clarity):https://emulator.ac/how-to-play/There's a bit of a process to it given Asheron's Call came out in 1999, so I'd recommend getting things up-and-running before showtime on Saturday.Regardless of which server wins, we'll be using this as the base to launch the game when it's time.A few quick troubleshooting questions, since this is - again - a PC game from 1999, and troubleshooting is just part of the experience.>How do I get to the server we voted on after installing the game?Launch ThwargLauncher -> open the Browse Servers window (if it's not open already) -> scroll 'til finding the one we're on -> click "Add Server" -> close the Browse Servers window -> click on the server in the main ThwargLauncher window -> type your desired Username/Password into their respective boxes -> click Launch.You only have to do this process once, thankfully. The server we're on will appear by default in the main ThwargLauncher window thereafter.>Don't I have to make an account somewhere first?Server accounts are made via ThwargLauncher, so just pretending you already have an account will make that account for you.>The game launches in fullscreen 640x480, and I can't see shitAlt+Enter upon starting up, and it'll change the client to be windowed. The game's resolution can be changed in the options thereafter.>I'm stuck on some weird "Connecting to Server" screen when launching the gameClose the client and relaunch it. Sometimes that just happens, should be fine after a restart.>Oh god, what the hell are these controls?Asheron's Call was intended to be played with both hands on the keyboard, using the mouse primarily for UI/NPC interactions.Some of the default keybinds ARE pretty out-there, however. Feel free to change things to your tastes, although the defaults are what longtime veterans typically use.
>>2937222Isn't there a server with you know, modded proper mouse support? I am all in for esoteric MOMOMO OUS! But the control scheme on Asheron seems miserable
>>2937460That's part of the fun!
>you need to mod-in musicjesus, I really should stop reading about this game.
>>2937736wait it does not have a soundtrack?
>>2937743>The original Asheron's Call did not feature in-game music because the developers prioritized creating a seamless, large-scale MMORPG world, focusing resources on 3D graphics, dynamic load balancing, and persistent online systems over a musical soundtrack.>Asheron's Call was developed by Turbine Entertainment during the mid-to-late 1990s>At the time, MMORPGs were technically challenging to implement, as maintaining a single, seamless 3D world with persistent servers, dynamic load balancing, and thousands of simultaneous players required significant computing and networking resources >Given these constraints, the development team focused on core gameplay systems including skill mechanics, item crafting, player allegiances, questing, and environmental design.>Integrating a musical soundtrack could have added additional memory and processing overhead, potentially affecting server stability and client performance, especially for players with typical PCs of that era.
>>2937222>https://emulator.ac/how-to-play/>6: Optional – If you wish to use ThwargLauncher in advanced mode you will need to install Decal and add Thwargfilter into Decal. Should we do this part?
>>2937770Decal is a plugin manager. it may be useful even if you don't plan to use the launcher advanced mode.I wonder if any of these plugins are actually worth installinghttps://www.accpp.net/latest-decal-plugins
>>2937800>a bunch of botting pluginsguh
>>2937800>ACAudio is an open-source Decal plugin for Asheron's Call that adds music, 3D sound effects, and voice chat>>2937806What the fuck is it with botting and MMORPGs. I don't get it. Like okay I get it when it's WoW and turdies are botting to sell gold to make money. Botting some old ass game with players though????
I won't be here later, can someone else make the Asheron's Call threads this time around?

>>2937894no end time set, so just call it as needed, or around the usual time we switch games, which is in like 9-10 hours.
I voted for all the closest to retail ones.
>>2937222>Asheron's Call was intended to be played with both hands on the keyboardthis is good but mousefags will complain>>2937760another faggot complaining about things irrelevant to the game as if he doesn't play youtube videos in background anyway!never saw the game but i'm starting to like it already
>>2938071what a retarded take.those are objective flaws.some can be attributed to the game’s age of 27 years, but instead, you choose to stubbornly deny the undeniable to defend the honor of a game you admit you’ve never even seen.NIGGER
>>2937800>I wonder if any of these plugins are actually worth installingUtilityBelt and the Virindi Bundle seem to be the most-common things to get, if you plan on using the modloader.https://utilitybelt.gitlab.io/http://www.virindi.net/plugins/Both of them are prepackaged mod-suites which all work with one another (some functions even being dependent on the others' suite), although there is some overlap in functionality between the two.InfiniteLeaftide apparently has a slightly modified UtilityBelt suited for its server, if that place ends up winning (which I hope it does, personally).https://gitlab.com/utilitybelt/utilitybelt.gitlab.io/-/packages/51549597That said, if you haven't played AC before, just getting used to the core game itself will already be more than enough to juggle initially, so I don't suggest going deep into screwing around with the modloader on day-one. Days two and three, maybe, once you've gotten your sealegs a bit more and presumably haven't been chased-off by the sheer oldness of this title (which I suspect will be the case for at least some Anon here).
keyboard is both easier and faster, cope
>>2938071Those are pretty bad things anon. Soundtrack make or break a game for me, LaTale for me, was bearable due to how amazing the OST was. The mouse shtick also sucks a bit. I will still give it a try, but I think this one might be out of my league, what's with the whole emulation thing.Hope you niggas make a decent tutorial for /v/ anons or things will suck, badly
Very quick server run down to help with voting, in terms of people voting based on their priority:>I want the most popular serverInfiniteLeaftide>I want a server thats very anti-botLevistras>I want a server as close to end of retail as possibleReefcull>I want a server close to that vanilla 90s classic MMO experience as possibleSeedsow>I want a server with lots of QOL features and an attempt to modernize the gameConquest or Dreamweave (Dreamweave is newer)>I want a server with lots of custom contentPortalstorm>I want a server thats a mix of all of these even if its not the best at that thingLeafDawn
>>2938315when a game is so good that it's only enjoyable if it has something irrelevant to gameplay...or you could just play any music you want in background unless that's impossible for you because you're disabled or something
Not exactly an mmo but related>attuned gets an update to the play test>game has barely changed in a yearWhat have they been doing for the whole year?
>>2937222>ThwargLauncherThis installer is a cheeky cuntThanks for the tutorial though anon
Yo these race options are cool
I hope some of these dungeons are super long like some of the original classic dungeons (wailing caverns, blackrock)
>>2939073kek wrong thread
I think we need to decide on a starting town for Asheron's Call
>>2939082Speaking relative to InfiniteLeaftide (since it looks like that's how the polls are leaning), you gain access to that server's Town Network at level 10, which has portals to basically every major settlement. Getting to the other starting capitals shouldn't be much of an issue.Most private servers for AC have something similar to this (plus some manner of buff-providing NPCs in towns for that matter), so it's not necessarily an IL exclusive.Shoushi is generally suggested as the starting city on that server due to a few quests rewarding some nice gear. Although its aesthetic is very Japanesque due to it being the native domain of the Sho, which might give the wrong impression that the game is a KMMO/JMMO to the uninitiated.
when we calling the server vote?
>>2939082https://strawpoll.com/kjn1DGEp2yQhttps://youtu.be/KgoDEIURYwUhttps://youtu.be/AT9WBYaKnHghttps://youtu.be/r3FG1cly1Xshttps://youtu.be/pfctdz6YqII
>>2939273Yaraq Shiraq
>>2939273I like the feeling of Shoushi but I think the trees might get in the way of our figuring out the game since they block a lot of visibility. Yaraq isn't bad either.
I'M IN

>>2939630lol
>>2939630>picked the wrong server againcross it off the bingo
>>2939710idk, often in ancient games you would get buffs from high level players and feel like a god for a whilei don't see how replacing a player with an npc doing it is that different
>>2939630so there's no reason to pick up any buff skills? should have picked one of the chud servers like levistras.
Have we started?
>>2939726it gets rid of need of a support class and hurts party play, considering it's a pro botting server it makes sense they'd make these changes for veterans
>>2939751Are support classes active or are they like SWG where they stand around and doot your stats up
>>2939751Not exactly. These kinds of features are common in older games. The support classes fills other roles.
>>2939751if your class only exists to cast a buff once and hour why would anyone want to play that character?
>>2939710>>2939726You also get a set of beginner gear but I don't know how OP it is.>>2939731I honestly don't know if these are full power buffs or what the fuck is the deal. Maybe only noobs can use the npc idk.
>>2939743This is around the time we'd typically start, yes. Depends on whether the photoshoot in Priston Tale has finished up yet.At the very least, making a character on whatever server currently has the highest amount of votes wouldn't go amiss.
Any riggers online? We need your help.
>>2939743>>2939833we just finishing up prison tale pics
Hiii, what are we playing next? I've been away a while.
>>2939902Asheron's Call, looking like on the InfiniteLeaftide server. Real unc hours.See >>2937222 on how to get it set up.
>>2939908I haven't played AC in ages. Last I played I was terrible at it (granted I was terrible at all video games, I was like 8.)
>BZZZZZ BZZZZ BZZZZZ BzzzZZZzzZZZZZZZZZ
I gotta go to bed but some early impressions of the server. I don't know if the game is supposed to be like this or if it's one of those were the spergs who have played it far too long ruined the game because they only care about some sperg endgame max level spergism. It sure feels like spergs ruined the game. There's a buff npc that loads you up with a crazy amount of buffs see >>2939630 and you get a set of enchanted armor from after reaching your starting city and talking to some people. In the first hour or so of gameplay I oneshot every enemy I came across. I missed once I think but that didn't let the enemy live long enough to hit me. I went through a little dungeon full of some cat people and did a quest picking stuff up in the dungeon. If there's a more true to classic server we should go there. If the game is supposed to be like this then I'm not gonna stick around for long. Also, this game is extremely jank. UI jank. Camera jank. Control jank. Far far worse than playing EQ.
>>2939942>mmod unknowingly votes for the worst option againits a genuine skill how bad we are at voting on servers but also theres no way for us to know since none of us have played these games before. makes me more mad at the server devs. whats the point of running a server with horrible features and basic video resolution options missing
>>2939990It has resolutions up to 1920x1080 and maybe more if it is smart enough to hide the ones that are beyond my monitor. Fullscreen didn't work for me though. I ended up playing in window at 1600x900. I really hope my fellow anons check out some of the other servers before we commit to any.
>>2939990>basic video resolution options missing???Also, finding a server without buff NPCs near the start, or in some generally easy-to-reach location, is going to be a tall order here, as they're commonplace across most servers. Just the nature of the beast with this game, much like many especially old MMOs.
Pressing alt + enter broke my game
>>2940007usually we dont switch servers from the one that gets voted on
>>2921887neither of those boards have this strand of dementia. what are you talking about
This has to be sabotage at this point when it comes to the votes
Looks like the server has custom currency too
>>2939942>>2940065>>2940037make a /v/ thread and crowd research it. and yeah, there's not much we can do but go off researcher's recommendation, which is not always the best for the project's purposes unfortunately
>switching resolution changed my character customisationlol
>it's the server that sucks, not the game!
i used to know a cat from like early 2010s 4chan who played AOat least i think it was asheron's, it could always have been anarchyi wonder if he still plays all this time
ill be on tomorrow if anybody else is starting tomorrow.
>double click on key then click on door to unlock doorOkay this is SOVL
>I jobbed to cockroaches
>>2940101based retard
>all dose buffsSo no point in rolling a support-esque class outside of healing, right?
>Complete the tutorial>Feeling confident>Get stumped when trying to open a chest for several minutes straight immediately afterTurns out keys need to be double-clicked in your inventory to active them, THEN they can be used on objects. Whoops.Pretty sovlful so far, though. Tempted to not use my freebie armorset, just to see how this game would've played normally without the cheesy OP starting gear.
we need a guild poll dont we
>>2940110shan't be using the buff bot>>2940119yes, it seems we can make one right now for free
>tutorial gives you the worst outfit possiblet-thanks!
>>2939169Why don't we hold a town vote, just in case? Otherwise another PT might happen
is this normal? I don't think I can take 2 weeks of T-pose running ""animation""
>>2940133You picked the race that floats
>>2940135did I?do Empyreans float?>Empyreans in Asheron's Call do not naturally float; they are grounded humanoid beings, though their magical nature allows them to use spells or abilities that may temporarily levitate or grant flight. (ai)
>>2940142In Asheron's Call, Empyrean characters naturally hover or float above the ground as a default racial trait. When you create an Empyrean character, they float above the terrain instead of walking.Visual Effect: This is a cosmetic feature unique to the Empyrean character model.
>>294013399' presu understand.Where's the thread btw?
>>2940147fuck this crap, I'm going to do a new toon and then I'll plan the ethnic cleansing of the empyrean scum
>[General] Redchile says, "just remember. This game and this server is for people who UCM. if you don't bot you are looking for an extremely boring grind"Uhhh new server?
>>2940157Grind would be even more boring if we weren't getting EXP bonuses for every quest. Questing and grinding is better than just straight grinding, at least.
>>2940157I think you missed a part>This game and this server is for people who UCM>THIS GAMESo, enjoy your ride!
I'm getting flashbanged by this lightning
>>2940133whoa it's the DOMO Sylphs all over again
Okay yeah the pathwarden stuff breaks any progression
just watched a member of this project ask in chat to be spoonfed every bit of information about the game.For shame.
just saw an anon pretend computers cant screenshot things.For shame.
>>2940119Guild poll tiiiiime. Feel free to add your own, these are just starter choices.https://poal.me/1iu0krAppears that guilds can actually have some pretty lengthy names, so we shouldn't be stymied by character limits this time, for once.Recruiting for a guild in this title needs to be done face-to-face, evidently. Once we have a decent amount of votes towards something, I'll camp out somewhere in the Town Network for easy access to join-up.>>2940234>every bit of informationMingling with the natives and asking things a new player would ask is perfectly reasonable.Deliberately stayed away from inquiring about anything meta-game related, and even emphasized we weren't wanting to rush things during our stay here, turning down multiple offers of getting free gear or being powerleveled. Get outta here with this. Got me to reply, though, here's your (You).
god i love alle
>>2940234Askings tips isn't being spoonfeed retard kirito-kun
>Walking around Shoushi>Not using freebie gear because muh earlygame balance>Come across chefs who had their utensils stolen>Stumble into The Breakfast Dungeon™>Assaulted on all sides by cows, pancake golems, sentient pads of butter and gelatin, giant sugar crystals, and hot soup elementals>Friendly stone golem waitress sends me to the dank depths of the dungeon's diner>Nearly run out of arrows>Start scavenging delicious body parts off my enemies>Barely survive the onslaught thanks to my newly-acquired Tactical Throwing PancakesOkay, that was actually pretty cool. This game might have some sauce to it.
I did some research and the number one complaint about this game is that there are too many private servers spreading the population out leading to servers feeling barren.
>>2940382>pancakes>saucestop
>>2940382Stop early playing, retard
>>2940395Anon, the priston photoshoot has been done for hours. We've moved onto this game.
>>2940389>there are 14 servers splitting the existing ~2000 players left between them>"there are far too many servers splitting up our community. I know, I'll make one super-server that copies the best features of every other server so there'll be one place for everyone to play together!">end result: there are 15 servers splitting ~2000 players between them
>>2940399No guild, no thread, no game, anon. Wait for the fucking thread
>>2940401>>2940299>Mwah~ Mwah~Cutie!
W-wew
>>2940149>>2940439The usual threadmaker is MIA, apparently. >>2937848
>>2940462
>>2940462>Big Niggawtf
>>2940439>>2940471Not the usual threadmaker, but I'll get a /v/ thread going shortly.
>>2940476>Kissu Kissu
>>2940535As mentioned, /v/ thread:>>>/v/747542293
>>2940299Due to it getting rather late, and with how easy it is to warp yourself to all corners of the world via the portal network (and thus become even more spread out from one another), I'll call the Guild poll here so we can get a banner for ourselves going. Otherwise it's going to be about ~8 of us running around with no correspondence, and that just ain't right.If you're still alive, head to the Town Network portal, there's one in every capital city. Once you're there, you'll find (Me) camped up next to the Sho section of the main plaza.Gotta recruit person-to-person in this title as previously remarked, so get'cha self down to the site when you can.
>>2940739Alright-y, both our Allegiance and Fellowship have been made. The former being the closest thing this game has to a Guild, and the latter being a more convoluted approach to a standard Party. Not sure if Allegiances can be named, but Fellowships can, at least.Message either Allegreza or Krok Archferrum for an invite. Both of us have full invite permissions. Still has to be face-to-face, but meeting in the Town Network isn't much hassle.
>all of your exp funnels up like a pyramid scheme to someone that doesn't even play games
>>2940037We have done it before when it's very quickly obvious that it was the wrong choice.
I might quit if I can’t find a way to scale the UI.I don’t care if it’s through a mod or something else, but at high resolutions, the UI is ridiculously tiny and makes the game unplayable.>but you could play at 1024x768it supports higher resolutions tho...I even tried to use Vitaeum ( https://crimsonmage.github.io/Vitaeum_AC/ ), which is a new client rebuilt with rust which aims to>let us enjoy the game we love without those technical constraints.Unfortunately, it looked mostly like the regular client, and I couldn’t find any way to scale the UI there either.
>>2941011Extremely AI generated website so safe to say it's the same for the client.
>>2941015oh yeah I had no doubts about it, but still, I was hoping the dude behind it asked the AI to fix the UI scaling instead of just>please copy the client 1:1 but write it in rust while I dilate
so people can just money drop, gta online style?
>>2941172The locals are very keen about doting on us, due to the sheer novelty of genuine newbloods showing up to their nearly 27-year-old game. It's quite a kind gesture, yet nonetheless a somewhat misguided one, as none of us have any context for what they're giving us relative to the effort needed to normally obtain it.Take the goods they offer if you wish, but know that they will absolutely trivialize the earlygame climb even more than it already is. I've politely turned down their more overt generosity so far.The buffs from the buffbot NPCs in town are more than enough to survive through the earlygame, even when using gear plucked off random monsters. Haven't touched any of the OP freebie gear gained from the starting Pathfinder Token, the Old Man Willow questchain, or the Hall of Introductions, and I've been completely fine so far.It's understandable that these conveniences are welcome by the game's veteran audience. I wouldn't want to grind for months on-end just to raise another mule in an MMO I was thoroughly familiar with either. Yet unlike them, we're all completely fresh here; no sense spoiling that so soon into our stay.Also, a note on Fellowships and Allegiances: The former does not keep those who log out, meaning Fellowships really are just extended parties. Allegiances are indeed the closest thing we have to guilds in this title, and thankfully they can be named, despite my previous misunderstandings.Message Allegreza, Krok Archferrum, or Flanker for an invite, provided any of us are on. (About to head to bed after being awake for nearly 20 hours, but will be on later this evening).
>>2941220I didn't accept anything, I just saw a guy running towards me and then that message appeared in chat.
>>2941220>The locals are very keen about doting on us, due to the sheer novelty of genuine newbloods showing up to their nearly 27-year-old gameAlways love when that happens.
