Ready to be disappointed by another anime-esque game under the watchful eyes of AGS yet again! Please keep me posted.

Honestly as long I don't have to trawl public lobbies for raids on 6 different characters with this one, it should be fine. Although Lost Ark was instrumental in showing that AGS will somehow find a way to steward the game in the most annoying but still technically serviceable manner possible.

As for actually productive discussion - not sure how to feel about the fact that there's a lot of support flex but no dedicated support class. Or I guess that the closest to it is the Archer from what I was seeing in the video?

So when is this savior of the MMO space that will bring us all back to when we were 20 and had free time and the world was good going to actually come out? I can't find anything solid on a release date from some quick looking.

Blue Protocol FAQ posted:

Blue Protocol will be available to download for free in the second half of 2023.

So stay aware, but don't wait up.

He also released a follow up video earlier today here.

Opening words are: "Blue Protocol is a good MMORPG... it's not the best MMORPG. It's not groundbreaking, it's not innovative, and I'm gonna go ahead here and talk about why that is."

Most of the video was just complaining about standard MMO problems (a cash shop exists, mobs don't have 100% drop rates on quest items), before pivoting back to "but despite all of that, I'm having a good time, although it doesn't do anything really new."

Which uh... I guess? But show, don't tell, buddy.

(He did get the opportunity to grief random players on the map by luring a world boss though.)
