asherons call 1 and 2 were two of the best mmo's ever made. asherons call 1 was very active on the pvp server (darktide) up until about a year ago when exploiters began crashing the server to dupe rare armor / ingame currency.

asherons call 2 was simply before its time. if the game was re-released as-is, with some marketing, it would be massivelhy successful

I had a bro legion commander that had most his gear decked out, i'll never forget those moments when we were outnumbered 5:1 standing on a hill with like 10 people, and him shouting with his gladiator to double maxDP aoe stun the whole fucking group.

I managed to get two shopkeep NPCs to fight each other and their regen was higher than their DPS so they kept fighting forever and the server had to be reset.

If anyone remembers another game called Dransik, I also discovered a bug in a quest that crashed the server and caused a rollback of everyone's characters. I did that like five times. I was a real cunt back then.

Yeah, the game killed itself with its massive unfairness and unforgiving system. At least Ultima gave people a chance. It seems that the game was built around fucking over the dungeon runners, and other playstyles, and giving all the benefits to banditry and looting corpses. Shit even the way the dungeons were laid out were fucked up, where almost all of them had narrow entrances easily exploitable by massive groups of PvP. I remember one time spending 3 days in a dungeon just running around and doing fuck all because the only way of getting out is through the dungeon entrance, which means taking your chance at outrunning PvP bands. On top of dying all the time you had the chance of permadeath at a moments notice.

Nubs just didn't see the point in gitting gud or even trying. It was a game that praised and rewarded dickassery and keeping the nubs in the dark so you can easily exploit them while they ran around trying to level, and stealing their gold and items.

Hell if anyone touched/killed me while I wasn't paying attention, I'd make sure to use the in-combat invis, step back for a bit and gank the everloving shit out of him and anyone associated.

The moment you 1v2/3'd guys and they run away was pure bliss.

>>340082693
When I tried playing again recently, it didn't have the same feel anymore. There was no-one running any dungeons below 55, full of BR/TR/retards. Also everytime I try to play with the group I used to play with, they always wanted to start pvping/invading enemy zones at level 30 ish to fight people our own level. Sadly these faggot 55-65's kept butting in and killing us on sight, it used to be that when you saw 2 groups of level 30's fighting, you don't massacre the enemy team but see how it played out.

Here's a fun moment which I will never forget.

>In the Dredgion (a PVPVE instance where you have to fights a lot of mob and kill the final boss before the faction enemy)
>Almost everyone go AFK
>I go alone and start to kill some mobs
>Then the low level Cleric follow me
>And the second Gladiator too
>We fight the enemy faction 3vs5 but still get some wins
>Suddenly motherfucking Tampax the Templar wake up and go with me
>2 Glad + 1 Templar literally crush the enemy team
>The little cleric dispel and heal us like crazy while he's protected by the Templar
>Then the Spirimaster come and it become a total massacre
>The Spiritmaster fear them while us the Glad rape their ass
>We end up winning a fight which started 3vs5 because the enemy team wanted to farm us instead of rushing to the boss

Fucking hell that felt so damn good

I'm thinking of one right now that I can't find when I try googling for it. I can't remember the name but it was a 2d sprites and it was probably made in the 90s.
I remember that there were plenty of different races, including nagas and that the male human sprite looked like your typical "barbarian" with long hair and a loincloth.
I think you could donate money to become a wizard which I believe meant you could create your own content for the game.
Does anyone have a clue what I'm talking about?

The cash shop can be annoying with the popup when you log in but otherwise it's pretty much the same as far as I've seen. Came back last month after about 3 years away.

Depends on how you view P2W. The many free archetypes are good enough for all contents, like the Behemoth (tank), Soldier (dps), and Radiant (healers) covering all three roles. There is more than enough costume to go around and build your dream character. You can get most of the cashshop item ingame, like Freeform and Hideouts. I stay on the game just for the character customization alone.

I mean the combat was bear bones easy, overpowered weapons, no balance at all yet you had this subclass of people who called themselves "jumpers" who lagged all across the pvp arena and used glitches with conjunction with all of that.

Mah nigga, came in here to post that. Well, it died quickly or slowly depending on how you view it, it lost a large amount of it's population early on, but the servers were around until like 2014 or 2015 and it had a small, but tight knit community.

it was entirely about player-built cities. most of the map was empty space intended for player cities. you could place walls, guard barracks, shops etc. all gear was obtained through player-built shops

there was essentially no PvE content after level 20. to get to max level you HAD to join a guild with a city near some good monster spawns, and then grind with your guild. the grind was not very long

players dropped the entire contents of their inventory (excluding equipped items), so killing other players was extremely profitable, but because of the mechanics everyone traveled in groups. this led to massive GvG, and therefore massive grudges, which culminated in server-wide wars in which everyone had to take a side. you could destroy player cities and this frequently happened as guilds that hated each other fought over the best spots

it was plagued by technical issues mostly related to the fact that 40+ players fighting each other in one area was a normal occurrence

It was fun before they went the generic MMO way, the rank system before open beta was still working. You could play with friends that started out while you were maxed and still had some difficulty. But then open beta came and it changed to that level system, and that one CEO that wasted $1mil on a bus to advertise the game, it had so much potential.
Getting 15 people with rank 1 frames to do T4 tiki's in a mayhem of mobs and mini boss spawns was super fun and various unique weapons with ore rarity ranging from 1 to 1000.

Didn't they also sell the enchantment stones or atleast the guaranteed one up in the cash shop? It's like they managed to fuck everything up, if the same game existed now but with GW2/Black Desert graphics (not that Aion's are bad, but I got low fps in Sanctum with 4.5GHz OC and GTX770) I would play it in a heartbeat, even if it was P2play.

Also does anyone remember Exteel? It was such a fucking good game ahead of it's time. I remember being at a LAN back in the day, and we played Serious sam for like 7 hours straight, before the host suggested we try this game out, we downloaded for like 2-3 hours, then shared it with the local shit for another hour and a half. But man as soon as I got the one with blades shit started popping off in that huge NY city at night.

so why don't we pick some old and obscure mmo that still runs and revive it slightly until everyone gets enough of it and fucks off in about a week?

Not a MMO in the traditional sense, but a completely free Korean Battlefield knockoff that went full merchant and became F2P and eventually P2W in the end. Goddamn was it fun in the early days though, especially before they had got the English voice acting and so all dialogue was ANGRY KOREAN.

I'd be down for this in a heartbeat. For all time nostalgia sake to play some old school MMO.

Playing MMOs alone or with a shitty guild is suffering.
