Ragnarok online have one of the best progression in MMO i played.

The moment you done with tutorial, you pretty much free to go to any place you want, there's no wrong place to grind unless you minmax faggot. MSQ what's that? i come here to grind and chat, the only time you need to do quest is to unlock new area or accessing certain NPC.

It also have cool class system.

Too bad RMT, BOT and Renewal update killed that game.
 
My husband and his best friend go on and on about White Knight Chronicles 2 like it's their dead father.
 
Wildstar had some pretty good marketing leading up to its release. It lasted four years before it was dead forever, and it was subscription based, so a lot of people lost money and time they’ll never ever get back, which makes it funnier.
 
There was this text based political simulator, I think it it was called Clout, that was pretty neat. If I remember correctly the creator went total schizo TDS in 2016 and took the game down permanently.
 
When I was young, I remember having a lot of fun with FreeRealms, got a lifetime membership as a birthday gift, then about a year later accidentally scrambled my password and lost the account. Good times.

In more recent stuff, Planetside 2, while technically alive, is a vegetable on life support. It's a shame too, the concept of massive battles and a macro scale war being fought is really cool. Unfortunate that the people running it have consistently made terrible decisions, downgraded the graphics, and as of late, passed it around to new owners like a cheap, aging whore that's gradually losing more and more of what made her appealing in the first place. Good memories, but I can never go back to it now.
 
The one, in my honest to god opinion, that is the best free fps of the early 2010s - Alliance of Valiant Arms or AVA
It was perfect:
  • Standard teams always felt balanced
  • It had an incredible and super fun zombie mode
  • An equally fun hoard survival mode in a prison setting
  • Fun escort mission
  • 1v1 knife match competitions in a soccer field map
  • ...
I could just go on and on, but then the rat bastard chinks had to get their hands on it, and everything became the most pay-to-win bull you'd ever seen, even recently a few years back I tried it again, and every person was using an anime skin with weapons not made for human hands.
 
The official website for Disgaea had a geopanel puzzle game that I was addicted to. I wish it had been downloadable.

Oh man, I played the shit out of those Cartoon Network flash games. I was so young that my memory of them is hazy, but this thread makes me want to revisit them and see whatever- if anything- happened to them.

Virtually all of Cartoon Network's games, including Toonami and Adult Swim, are available through that web game preservation project, Flashpoint. A lot of them were actually Shockwave games since many of them were from before people started abandoning it for Flash.

To this day there's never been a game quite like it in terms of scale and flow. Dice dipped its toes with their conquest mode for Battlefield, but it's just not the same. We need a game like PS2 with a player base and relevancy again, ideally without the dogshit progression and microtransactions.
 
I bought neocron without knowing it had been shut down.
Apparently, people have brought it back since, but I still resent it as a paperweight.

Man - I seldom hear about GunZ: The Duel nowadays. The realest vet G's were PCfags back when Xfire still held a light in relevance.

(And I recall Steam still receiving vitriolic amounts of hate in its infancy as well. Too "walled garden" for the spergoloid wizards of olde - but fuck how lenient standards have gotten as of late.)

GunZ was great. I also liked rakion. I don't remember much about steam hate except you could always rely on the friends list not working.

Also liked some of the old AOL games, like Fighter Ops and Starship Troopers.

It was a bit fun, but very grindy. Tbh, you didn't miss much.
 
I miss Marvel Heroes. the gold David Brevik finally struck after the disaster of Hellgate: London. at its peak, it was a hell of a Diablo II clone and almost pure candy. for having such a huge roster of characters, it's really surprising how much of them actually felt unique to play, even with three skill trees per character. it was during the peak of capeshit too, so Marvel was releasing their dog shit movies like every six months, which always came with a big content patch tie-in for Heroes, adding new characters and game modes and missions and skins and all kinds of shit. it was awesome doing things like group wave challenges or public instance raid bosses and shit, in addition to organized group content with your bros. sadly after Brevik left to become GGG's advisor for the Chinese release of Path of Exile (???), the guy who took over immediately released a massive rebalancing patch that completely ruined the game, tanked its player numbers, and led to its shutdown soon after. no part of it has been preserved in single player modes or otherwise. absolutely tragic.
 
I recall a game called Bloodline Champions. It was MOBA-like, but had no creeps or towers and was 100% based around 4v4 PVP. Me and my friend played it regularly 10 years ago, but then it went into P2W territory and that was it.
 
Grepolis is so og


Motion twin (dead cells) had a ton of great web based browser games.


Kube was a cube based mmo before minecraft.

Their main masterpieces are hordes and mush.

Horde is a community based survival game. You gather resources and prepare during the day for the attack at night.
Most actions that help the community put you in danger, it's always about balancing your interests and those of the city.
The insensitive to be the last one standing is works because it's a week of premium.
An incredible game overall very interesting and deep.


Mush is pretty much better among us. Two members of the space crew are infected. It's up to the humans to find them and up to the infected to infect more people and kill all humans.
 
Vainglory was and is the true MOBA of the mobile space before the LoL copycats and the actual LoL mobile faggots took over. Balanced heroes, awesome visuals and suprisingly tight gameplay. The developer wanted to make it big but budget said no and the game went back and forth to different developers, until it is left dead. You can play it but no one is playing anymore.

shit man Free Realms was one of the most fun casual games I've played, I spent so many hours on that beach parkour puzzle, really sad how things ended up for SOE/Daybreak, especially with the cancellation of EQ Next
 
A game I’ve been trying to find info on for years that I remember playing around 2000 was a top down browser based MMO called Rust. There used to be different sites running their own servers and it was really customisable, so your guild or even you on some servers could build your own base or town.

I remember it always having people online when I should have been writing university essays and was tired of RuneScape.

I’ve searched high and low for information on it in recent years but I can’t find a thing on it.

My dream would be to find a server that still had a bunch of dedicated autists on it.
