Everquest was a chatroom where you sometimes killed a goblin, now you just hang out on discord and play actual good games together

my fav was the play sessions that were 5-6 hours of trying to recover your corpse

If people are mentioning free warhammer games, vermintide2 is free to download on steam for the next few days, recommended pickup.

It has all the exp grinding and forced social interaction you play mmo's for too.

What's the name of that failed Sci-Fi third person shooter MMO from like a decade back? It was in beta/early access forever, the game was originally supposed to revolve around guarding mining machines from hordes to upgrade your gear, the premium currency was called "red beans", the CEO spent a crazy amount of money on a tricked out buss to take to conventions, you had jetpacks, felt like a precursor to Anthem in a lot of ways. It's crazy how much I can remember about this game without remembering the name. I guess Wildstar is just occupying all of my brain's failed scifi mmo namespace.

I liked the bit of that I played in beta but I never bought it so I guess it's my fault it died. rip

e: I can remember the name of this track from the Tabula Rasa soundtrack, but not the name of a game I followed the development of for years :psyduck:

Man what a poo poo game that turned out to be. And I absolutely, completely forgot I played it.

There are a lot of those lurking in the back of my brain. Who remembers Auto Assault?

My Auto Assault story is they I played the open beta and said "Nope, not purchasing it." Then several months after the game had completely shut down my local Best Buy was selling the Deluxe Edition, or whatever it was called, for four dollars so I bought it for the soundtrack CD.

I remember one pax back in 2011 me and a friend accidentally stumbled into their staff party at a bar

the ceo gave us a really passive aggressive telling off -- but there was no signage or anything indicating it was reserved for them

I'm now realizing thats because they'd spent it all on the bus

As a Cosplayer that looks like a crap ton of cheap EVA foam. The Logo looks a bit better, I assume the bus cosplay just fell apart after PAX.

Don't have to fix bugs if nobody is filing bug reports (because nobody is playing) :v:

Or they're just lying. That seems likelier.

Or it's poor automation, like daily work to clear logs and consulate database stuff and other busywork people made for themselves to look important, and once the game had launched half those people got sacked and still nobody knows how to keep the game from imploding when they push even a tiny update.
