I don't understand criticism of "theme park" MMOs or MMOs being "just a theme park". Theme parks loving own.

So it turns out a private server for City of Heroes has been privately running all this time with strict NDAs and ruthless banning of anyone who might reveal what was going on, but the secret is out now and Reddit is in butthurt histrionics about it screaming that City of Heroes subreddit mods were gaslighting them the whole time. Ain't quite no drama like MMO drama. Article here: https://massivelyop.com/2019/04/15/score-city-of-heroes-emulator-leak/

Has anyone done anything in the turn-based MMO space recently? I gather Dofus and Wakfu are still running.

Customer support kept telling her that she's not the real account owner and to send a picture of her ID next to newspaper with a recent date. Finally bit the bullet and did it, they still told her she wasn't the account owner. She's probably going to lose the account and whatever hundreds of hours of went into it. Also possibly her identity.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Bless Online first launched as a Korean-only game developed by Neowiz. It failed, then relaunched in Korea with the bless "Rebuild Project", then launched a western port/remake. The Korean bless rebuild died in 2018. The western version died in 2019. Then in 2020 Round 8 Studios remade it as a console game under the name Bless Unleashed. Bless more like Curse haha got ‘em

I'd be keen to give Book of Travels a shot once I get some free time after this weekend. It's certainly a different vibe than the other MMO choices out there.

Well, they market it as a Tiny Multiplayer Online RPG rather than an MMO so that tracks. 7 per server is still lower than I thought, though. I managed to make a character and walk around for a while. The game is certainly stunningly beautiful and has an incredible vibe/mood to it, even if I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. With the intentionally restricted communication and small amount of players occupying a larger world it does feel like someone said "Hey what if Journey was an RPG?" and I'm here for that.

I’d say it mostly resembles a point and click adventure game.

cmdrk posted:what would it take you to get back to MUDs? is it just the missing population? Being 16 and having zero responsibilities, tons of free time and the ability to regularly stay up gaming until 4am again would also help a ton. There's definitely an approachability problem where MUDs haven't really taken any of the design lessons that modern MMOs have, but at the same time I can't blame them. A lot of them are sheer passion projects as it is and people won't see any sort of financial return on the amount of time and effort they need to invest in coding and building. I think also for some long-established MUDs that have managed to retain a decent playerbase, substantial change of any kind comes with a degree of risk - a lot of the players who've stuck around will react to the idea of change not unlike a vampire hissing at a crucifix. I think to get back into a MUD at this point I'd need it to have a population of around ~30 or so folks on in my time zone, do something modern/interesting with the game and combat design, and not retread ground that's already been well trodden by other games because I spent years sinking huge amounts of time into a variety of MUDs so anything that feels too same-y will immediately lose my interest. That magical theoretical MUD will never exist.

CYBEReris posted:i thought the discworld mud was neat for like the 2 hours total i played The Discworld MUD is pretty fantastic. It was one of the first MUDs I ever really sunk a lot of time into, the sheer size of Ankh-Morpork (the main city) alone was bigger than some other MUDs, but it had actual effort put in to making unique and well written room descriptions at least across the main roads. At least once a year or so I'll make a new character and wander around for nostalgia, do some quests that I remember, hang out in whatever guild space I've picked this time and just generally luxuriate in the nostalgia, but it's too much of a time sink to get reinvested the way I once did.

Actually I'm thoroughly owned because I could have sworn the title was "there will never be a good MMO ever again" and turns out I've been misreading it for years.

Looks very dark, drab and generic for something claiming inspiration from Miyazaki / Ghibli aesthetics imho.

I mostly played DPS but seeing folks try and do wall pulling in low level content before DPS have their AOE rotations online feels real, real bad. As soon as I had my toolset though I ended up preferring it, the mechanical interest to me lies solely in the boss fights. Quite honestly if you excised trash packs completely so that a dungeon was just a series of pretty corridors that connected boss fights, I'd be 100% fine with it. I accept that's not going to be a universal opinion.

There was a MUD thread for ages in TG for whatever reason but yeah once Retro Games opened a new MUD thread sprang up there. I go through a cycle every oh, eight months or so? of spinning up a character on the Discworld MUD, trundling around my favourite parts of Ankh-Morpork, doing the quests I can remember of the top of my head and then immediate stop playing because I can't plunge hundreds of hours into that game like I did when I was young. Extremely fond memories though, great game.
