    Back in 2008-2012 I played a lot of Regnum. The Realm vs. Realm in the central Warzone was epic. Later Gamigo added invading the other realms. It was honestly fairly hard to do and they did their best to balance out the realms. After that the game went downhill and monetized way too much. But for a long time that was my go-to MMO. Loved it!

    as a regnum player for 17 years
    i can tell you the game is not dead, the developers are still active (and just expanded their team). right now the 17th anniversary event is live!
    with an active roadmap and many updates to come in the future!
    also a sidenote for 11:54 chicapro was not a high level player flexing in the newbie area, that balloon you see takes you to the warzone. using it backwards brings you to the newbie area which opens up commerce for players which isnt available in the warzone. theres also an endgame daily quest involving the newbie zone xD so we are usually just chilling in the newbie zone for commercial reasons :D
    also squid island is not THE most dynamic player driven battlefield, that crown goes to the actual warzone!

      So with the saying a game is dead does not imply it's actually dead, generally it means the player base is lacking or not as high as it used to be. happens a lot with underground MMOS or ones that a majority of the player base stopped playing after a long time.

Would recommend to everyone. The English-speaking community is very small, but it's still a great game and everyone is very polite anf friendly.

    Never heard of Islet, but I'm surprised you didn't mention Trove at all, which leads me to believe you might not be aware of it. It's certainly got various differences than islet, but in terms of a "Minecraft MMO" it's the one I always think of, and unless things have changed since I last looked into it, there's still quite a few people playing.
    I'll always be happy to bring Trove up because early on you could actually create and submit voxel items/styles and submit them and one of the permanent hairstyles in the game is one I made.

    I'm fairly old. When WoW first came out I was intrigued. But I wasn't buy a new gaming pc/pay a monthly subscription intrigued. I had never played an mmo before and the closest I had gotten was watching my buddy play muds when I was a teenager. I searched the internet for mmos and non of them worked on my pc or cost a subscription I wasnt willing to pay. All except Regnum which was all the game was called at the time, 'Champions of' came later at some point I dunno, I never stuck around that long. Long intro to a short story; when I first logged onto regnum the whole concept was so new to me that I just sat there ontop of this starting zone icehill trying ot read all the help guide. There was this dude standing there. Another player like me, the first online real person I had ever laid eyes on in an mmorpg. He turns to me and says 'hi. are you lost?' and I said 'Hi. Ya kinda I guess. I've never done this before' So he says 'I'll show you where to go for 1 gold'. I look in my inventory and sure enough the game had started me with 1 gold. I give it to him thinking this must be some normal sort of transaction in these mmorpg things. He takes it and says 'follow me'. I follow him and we run for 25 sec...to the next hill where there was an npc. 'You go here. Good luck'
    It took me 5 min to get ripped off in my 1st mmorpg ;p

    amazing idea for a video. in my opinion what you're documenting is deeper than video games. We have all been sucked into this vacuum on the supposed world wide web. with new tech it seems our window of discovery is dwindle to a few mere apps and in this case MMOs. You literally just going to page 4 is proof the internet does still exist. I would say that a vast majority of consumers are so invested in things they are told to like everything after page one on steam might as well be a blank page

    Regnum online was one of the games I played the most in my childhood, nowadays it is full of p2w elements because they want to keep making money, but my God how I liked the PVP of this game, the combat is really bad nowadays, maybe in its time when I was younger it was easier to make me feel dopamine when hitting enemies. But the fact of taking forts, castles and then trying to break the door to the enemy kingdom and steal the dragon eggs was great. It made you feel nationalistic in a game that you would never think you would achieve. I still played it with a lot of friends which made it more fun. 3/10

    I am probably one of the players with more hours played in Regnum, and if only it had a decent administration... It had a pretty unique RvR/PvP which you dont see very often in MMOs, and the community was good back in the day. As I said, the company did many mistakes like abandoning their main project (Regnum) in order to create some others like "Quantum League" which LITERALLY DIED in months, and leaving the game in the hands of the current Developer, who hasnt played the game in YEARS now, destroyed the game balance, since, well, he doesnt know anything about the meta, made it more pay to win every time, banned a lot of people for literally nothing, doesnt listen to advices, didnt make a single update in years in order to help the game (they promised a rework for leveling that never came into the game), and I could continue the whole day. This seems like a classic hate comment, but I can asure you not many people loved that game like I did (since 2007) and it had sooo many potential, it could have been muuuch more, and everyone who played Regnum back in the day knows this, but the truth is it was kill*d by their own company, and it has """""survived""""" until now just for its community which, unfortunately, is non existing by now.
