It looks chill, I'm watching someone play the project 1999 thing of it. Anyone play it these days.

Played a bit of it a while back, it's pretty fun with friends but there's always the grind that isn't fun

The reason Everquest was cool was death actually meant something, all the classes felt super unique, the world was huge, and it felt like an actual world. I’m not sure if they ever made an MMO as big as EQ.

I wish I could go back to the late 90s/early 00s when MMORPGs were amazing and kind of magical at a conceptual level. Just the initial experience of interacting with hundreds of fantasy characters being controlled by real people all at once was an incredible feeling.

I'm much happier with online games now where they're shared experiences that are also mechanically tight. Instead of having to pay 15 dollars a month to play Diablo 2 but it takes 3 days to get one drop.

Yeah I'm definitely a lot happier getting into a matchmade instance in some kneecapped pseudo-MMO like Destiny where a dozen people just wander around grinding in a completely sterile environment afraid to interact in any way because they don't want their account banned by a trigger-happy algorithm, it's so much better than exploring a massive virtual world for the very first time and meeting new people who are also exploring a massive virtual world for the very first time and making friends out of the blue or arguing with several random people at once in zone chat over which lovely nu-metal band is better or w/e... NOT!

Honestly tho, the biggest injustice is seeing City of Heroes shut down in this age of neverending superhero movies. It had the most complex character creator and movesets.. it would've eventually made a billion dollars if it just stuck around a few more years. RIP.

Something that isn't really acknowledged so much about the initial success and rapid growth of World of Warcraft and Everquest II was that they both launched right as the LOTR trilogy hype was dying down and people were still thirsting for that particular style of high fantasy. The relationship and mixing between film and game audiences and demographics can be an odd one.

That said, what I've heard of Ultima Online does indeed make it sound like it would of been the most epic MMO I ever played but I was into watching someone else playing EQ for an hour even though I fell asleep, due to the chillness.

ever quest seemed cool, as does Ultima online. I should have gotten into those I only ever played final Fantasy xi right when it was brand new so it was real grindy but it was the hot new poo poo at the time so the community was pretty good at the time. I tried playing it years later but it was super weird that it wasn't grindy

EQ bards had this neat mechanic where you “juggled” up to three songs/buffs. Never really attacked or cast spells, just keep your three buffs up and stay hidden.

It was really dope, I played back when there was still world PVP and had a farm house with some other guys where we played as rednecks. We would piss ppl off and make them chase us back to our house then lock them out and go on the balcony and throw molotov cocktails at them . Everyone was extremely rude in that game lol

I played ffxi which was heavily based on eq (the producer made the devs play eq for months) and its the most fun ive had in a game in spite of how grindy and frustrating it could be.
