Could it be the end of games for me, Sup Forums? I used to be able to cut Magic Trees for hours. I could kill Pinkies for days. Needed to kill 10,000 black birds for a Manta Ray Mount? NP. But these days even though I have all the free time in the world still I can't be assed to grind in video games anymore.
I'm the opposite. I finally got a big boy job and have all the systems/games I could ask for and then I got back into a certain MMO for nostalgia's sake - now I'm all about that grind and I basically work two jobs every day. I look at my huge backlog of fun games and all I see is xp waste.
Loved this game. And I'm checking the wiki they added a 3rd upgrade for classes?!

Second most disappointing MMO I've ever played.

Say what you will, it has the most satisfying crit mechanic ever

I remeber seeing ads for Flyff everywhere, but never actually played it. Why was it shut down?
David Foster
I think you're seeing the games for their mechanics and since a lot of MMOs share the same shit, there's very little novelty to them to hold your interest. Plus, they tend to be shallow games with grind to pad out your playtime cuz subscriptions and cashshops to help you get ahead
John Bennett
Nah the game is alive but everything is inflated as fuck. A lot of accounts were deleted back in 2012 I believe. They had a thing where if you didn't log into your account before X date your account was going to get deleted. No point in playing now though. The game went to shit after V8.
Nathaniel Gutierrez
Anyone with half a brain eventually switched to a good private server because holy inflation, then eventually stopped playing because of lacking endgame content. Since they stopped shilling everywhere the population withered. I'm inclined to say though that it had a decent run for how painfully pay-to-win it was. I think lots of MMOs tanked when MOBAs caught on. I mean is shit like Metin or Aion or whatever doing any better?
Jaxson Perez
Recommend a free to play MMO that's decent? I want to start subbing to FFXIV again, but tfw no cash to spare.
Isaiah Reed
Grinding is a sign of low intelligence Literally throwing your time away
Quitting because of "just released" overpopulation/queue is a sign of being a hypebabby
Ryder Gomez
Holy shit, I had forgotten all about Metin and Aion. Who even plays these dead MMOs?
Noah Thompson
I didn't quit because of queue times. I just didn't have it in me again to level to 45 again. I'm the guy that only has one max level and never levels anything else ever. Once I level up to max the first time I find it incredibly boring to do it again. I don't see how people have a max level and geared character for each class of said game.

Literally kill yourselves, everyone.
Tyler Ross
Masters of a game, rather than masters of just one character.
Twinking out a new character is its own type of fun.
Sebastian Parker
Hey, at least you did exactly what the game is called, i was glad you could actually fly even through it's felt boring like shit after a while
One of my favorite mmorpg was Mabinogi for the sake of a good balance of adventuring, making buds and playing music for people waiting for a moongate to open. Too bad it's went to shit the second they added a giant empty continent with elves and giants as it's killed that good travel balance people liked about the game
Lucas Collins
I feel you OP I used to be able to pic related for DAYS without getting bored. Nowadays I get bored in an hour if that.
Easton Moore
Most of the games people are talking about in this thread were at peak popularity well before BC.
Nathan Miller
Fuck yeah lutiebro
I solo'd an archer and monk there for a long ass time. Cake drops were dank dosh.
Solo maging CT and GH prison were the most fun I had with RO, too bad they broke firewall functionality.
Daniel Carter
That's because it was more of an adventure than mindless grinding.

Isaac Howard
Modern MMOs don't click for me for some reason, I always end up reinstalling Ragnarok Online or Phantasy Star BB for a quick fix instead.

>scantily clad jailbait and hoverboards
FlyFF is GOTYAY.

>Who even plays these dead MMOs? People who put a lot of money into it, they'll never leave. There's also people who play niche or not so popular MMO's(me) because those tend to have the best communities since all of the worse kind of people tend to play the really popular MMO's.
Jeremiah Rodriguez
That's pretty much it. Grinding nowadays nets no real rewards. Some fag can just buy their way to the same result.
Unfortunately, 99% of the market is lazy rich kids, and no game company wants to lose out on that money.

Guys I'm scared, I'm really tempted to play Flyff.
I don't want to play alone.
Xavier Parker
I would play with you user, maybe powerlevel or just give you 100mil gil. But I can't recover my account.
William Martinez
Oops,forgot. Meant penya

Idk, never played it and no idea what the fuck it's about

Fucking hang yourself. Everquest was the last acceptable MMO, and even that was pushing it. Don't try to lord it over younglings when you're a child yourself.
