Can we have an mmo thread? Ones you're playing. Ones you're looking forward to. Mostly I just want a place to talk about mmos that aren't just wow or ffxiv.

If there are any refugees fron the general thread lurking, feel free to post here.

Dead genre.

Only if you're not wow or ffxiv.

What do?

To start off, stop lying.

>try archeage private server
>heh, dancing is fun

Exactly? Only diehards of those fanbases and MMO's in general are still playing those games, despite that their trash. MMO's have been dead for years and nobodies trying to bring them back

I didn't want to stay but I keep getting sucked back in.

I'm not, though.

I gave up on the genre. If it is not yet another WoW clone, it's usually a Korean grindfest where you click on enemies for 0.12% exp needed to level per hour. Occasionally a MMO claiming to champion the return of the sandbox is announced, but slowly warps into another themepark during development.

Have you played Wurm Unlimited or ESO Online OP? They are the best.

Waiting for a burning event in maplestory so I can start a new character

really? that FFXIV are the only things worth a damn at the moment

bdo could've been a good mmo but they stopped developing it half way in.

Took me a great effort to quit for good this gachapon addictive shit. Still, best mmorpg ever, along with L2 (another one destroyed by greed). MMORPGs killed themselves.

I like so many things about wow yet FFXIV is just so much more refreshing.

it's amazing how they improved upon everything that makes an mmo fun. because combat isn't the focus, it shouldn't be.

Wow has left itself in the dust, it's like a Train that let go of everything that made it what it was and kept only the "story" and endgame cabins. it's like playing in a dead sandbox with broken toys and forgotten characters. It's like entering a buffet but needig to start at the beginner trays which are rancid and stale while only certain things are kept cooked and fresh.

and it's a shame because I LIKE playing as an orc, I LIKE the more aggressive and barbaric the world is, FFXIV feels too soft and clean, even the fucking pirates who were suggested to have "raped" someone dressed better then a wizard in wow.

Remember how the ff mmo (can't remember the number fuck off) began? it was apparently garbage, so they killed it and redid EVERYTHING for it to be perfect.

if Wow did the same, made a new one or update the decade old engine, cleaned all the assets, redid the areas BETTER THAN CATACLYSM AND ISN'T A RETCON.
visually improve everything, fix all the issues people have had forever now.
it would have a chance at being the best MMO ever seen. but it probably won't ever happen. Activision doesn't see it as a better pay off. and Wow isn't some friend who doe shit for free, nobody is. SE only did it because they were trying to tap into the market aggressively and it worked.

Wow will probably stay the course and never rebuild its failing everything. probably still trying to make everything just slightly more hardcore and difficult rather than adding shit that is actually important for a community based game

Does anyone play Ragnarok Online in private servers? Can I get a recommendation?

xiv is the most bland mmo I've tried. it's like the mmo version of 'jack of all trades, master of none'. It does nothing really great but what's there is really polished. I mean, I can't think of any other game with multiple idle animations unique to each race.

You can't "Master" a trait made in a game if you aren't even sure it's enough to capture somebody's wallet.

You don't see people lining up for pro fishing tourneys in wow if they did fishing like it was a simulator level of immersion.
The things I listed were simple concepts that pulled me in enough and they worked. they could be better but fishing is as good as I want it to be.

meanwhile everything in WoW is caked in dust and has been left to rot forgotten for a decade with no hope of ever being touched by an WoW intern. Everyone playing wow only seem to care about is PvP and story. and they wonder why nobody else is having it. the system itself is just dry.
in FFXIV your abilities actually have weight to them, have a unique animation and a constant stream of new tools for situations. meanwhile wow sticks to 3 buttons and animations are weightless and repetitive. you play 1 caster you've played them all for that race.

The areas look like they are still from the playstation 1 for fuck sakes.

Everything in xiv is only just good enough. None of it is really exciting, it's just a by the numbers mmo. If it wasn't final fantasy, people wouldn't play it.

if that's your grip then whatever. it's still better than wow in its current state. and I've listed the things it could fix

Start lying, don't listen to that other user

I'm really not lying, the girl was pretty drunk and I ended up going to sleep since it was 3AM. Told her to go to sleep and never spoke to her again after that.
