I guess they made it free again, but I haven't played since. i was probably 11 or 12 when RO went p2p. i had to read the tos because my dad wanted to know which Korea made the game. then he decided i could weed the front lawn at 10 cents per weed to earn the subscription bux. before this i played furcadia bc i love cats; had no idea what furries were or the true purpose of those yiff palace dream maps ppl designed.

I downloaded Anarchy Online and hooooly poo poo did it have late 90s UI AIDS. There's so much poo poo to click on and none of it has labels. I'm glad developers stopped doing the dumb thing where nothing is allowed to have a text label and instead you must decipher hieroglyphics. Also, Escape does nothing in AO and you have to Alt+F4 to quit? now that's gangster. still not gonna play the game tho

World War II Online was the first MMO I played and despite some of it's incredibly poor design decisions and millions of bugs on launch I still had a blast with it. I still remember hooking up with a squad and driving around Europe looking for action all night. And I mean all night, real time. We drove around in a truck in the dark and never really did much but it was this cool adventure. At one point we found someone else (on our side) but because the came didn't have local chat we had no way of communicating with them that they should join us.

Literally LITERALLY no MMO has been good so far. This is why the genre is dead

Star Wars Galaxies had an unparalled crafting system where all raw materials deposits had varying stats that impacted the stats of finished goods and resultantly a player-driven economy rivalling the depth and complexity of EVE. Too bad everything else about it was hot garbage.

On DT I got a gang of confused newbie level 5-10s to run the phantom weapons quest once and we took over the academy lifestone in shoushi. Highest level we took down was a a level 90ish Blood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPiBrIXCiQE

Playing EVE as part of Goonswarm was probably the best example of what an MMO can really be. I can't even fathom playing that game alone, without the massive support and infrastructure that comes from joining an already established organization. Jumping into a hand-me-down Tackle Rifter I could barely pilot and tagging along on a fleet op two days into my trial made me really feel like I was part of something greater and I really felt like I was contributing in my own small way.

If your answer isn't City Of Heroes I feel bad for you Comedy option is Second Life and honestly looking back in its heyday it was kind of a cool concept done unfathomably bad but also 100% as you'd expect it to turn out. Visiting it today it's just a wasteland of rental land and broken things but some of the stuff that somehow has stayed alive since the late 90's/early 00's will hit you like a nostalgia truck Also so many furries

Don't worry OP, I miss guild wars too. The amount of amazingly broken poo poo they unintentionally made possible that then became the meta was fantastic. 55 monks were such a great oversight in skill planning.

Getting the MVP kill on the gold Thief Bug at the bottom of the culvert in Ragnarok Online was the highlight of 2000 for me.

Zero One posted:World War II Online was the first MMO I played and despite some of it's incredibly poor design decisions and millions of bugs on launch I still had a blast with it. I loved the idea of WWII Online. I got it when it came out and I just remember that the game was so empty. And you're not kidding about the real time stuff. I got into a tank that was probably supposed to be crewed by a few people but no one was playing by me. I drove it for about 30-60 minutes or so and came up to a bridge. Another lone enemy tank was on the opposite side. We traded a few shots and then he blew me up. I loved it at the time. Does that game like, work now? Are there any actual battles with more than 10 people? It was always just 3 infantrymen in a building in a 10 square mile battle zone or whatever and just waiting and waiting and then boom you're dead. Someone shot you from 500 yards away while hiding in a bush. Repeat.
