Shoutout Frog Act on first page who mentioned EQOA (Everquest Online Adventures for PS2), which was my first MMO experience. My two friends from SOCOM1 were the first to hit max level in the game, Remedy the cleric & Intangible the rogue I believe, on Castle Lightwolf server. Real absurd poopsock poo poo. They it max level and there was no content because the devs didn't think anybody would hit it for another month at least. I think they also talked the devs into making what would become the most sought after item (Ceremonial Vestments robe) wearable. When people mention nostalgia for their first MMO, which majority of the time is regular EQ, that will always be the game for me. Training mobs onto people from croc island just outside Freeport as a 14 year old, simpler times. Early experiences of what would be a repeating trend in my life of generosity or trust betrayed, another 'friend' from SOCOM who lent me his account changed the password as I was close to max level after PLing his bard about 20 levels. Or real life friend that changed password on rogue we shared at one point. Muhfuckers can't have nothing.

There's an EQOA emulator slowly moving along. That'd be fun to play some time.

It just has raytracing shadows, it's a subtle improvement and probably not at all worth the gigantic frame rate hit it causes.

I said come in! posted:I guess we'll know more on December 17 when it launches. It looks interesting, but the graphics are really rough and that doesn't leave a good first impression. This genre is difficult to sell people on because Eve-Online has this type of MMO locked down. Already on sale for $7.19 from $9.99. They released a few dev videos on their YouTube. Looks super, super barebones and a scam.

Jackard posted:I don't like mobas or know anything about Riot, could they actually pull it off? Yes. They're genuinely the only company I would trust with developing a large scale MMO at this point. They're packed to the brim with good designers, have an enormous budget, and are highly knowledgeable about online infrastructure and what it takes to make a game run well in multiplayer. Eox posted:Is there a league universe? I thought they just filed the serial numbers off of DOTA characters and worked from there They brought on a full team of writers around 6 years ago to begin fleshing out an actual League universe, which involved dumping almost all of the old stuff save some of the names and places and coming up with a fully-fledged fantasy world. All the info is on the Universe page, which also includes numerous short stories and comics involving the League world.

Eox posted:Is there a league universe? I thought they just filed the serial numbers off of DOTA characters and worked from there Heroes of Newerth was the game just implementing DOTA stuff; LoL has always had its own setting though it was pretty all-over-the-place for the first couple of years. "There's a place called Demacia and a place called Noxus and they use LoL for proxy wars and sometimes other places get involved" was the original plot; the whole 'LoL exists in-universe as a way to fight a proxy war' thing is now totally gone. Character mechanics are all pretty different; the closest character copy was AntiMage->Kassadin in terms of having an assassin with a blink and a silence and Kassadin doesn't even get to have a silence any more, just a channeling interrupt.

Yeah, but to me most of the fun of a mmo is mass player interaction. It would suck (just imo) to have a vast, expansive, story filled world that's effectively a single player instance dungeon that you run through similar to genshin if it's going to be touted as a mmo

I checked in on some of my own nostalgia games. In the MUD that I grew up on an item recently sold at auction for $40,000. The developers sold out and turned it into a gacha MUD somehow and are still kicking 32 years later. Biggest problem is the player base is IRL dying and it's practically impossible to attract new customers to a multi-tiered subscription+gacha MUD. So no, there will never be a good MMO ever again.

knox posted:Gacha MUD? Originally, they charged premium entry to special events that were held once or twice a year. Flat $30 ontop of your subscription fee for getting the opportunity to shop premium goods, and practically guaranteed interaction with GM-controlled NPCs that could change the look of the the things you wore. This was pretty reasonable and a good time was had by all. Now, it's $1/entry to participate in a slot machine that will occasionally spit out a MTX currency you can use to buy high-end items. Pretty regularly people are dropping $3,000+ during these events. They cater to the biggest whales by offering top-tier items with guaranteed-win raffle buyins equivalent to $10,000 worth of MTX currency. It's insane.
