I’d like to see a part 3, it’s nice seeing obscure and lesser known mmos.
Rappelz was actually my second ever MMO (after Anarchy Online). I had a blast with it back then. The mechanic that allows you to make nearly any mob a pet was really neat
I'm so sorry that was your first experience with Blade Mistress. I played it when it originally released, and when it closed down I followed it through a few privately maintained iterations. It appears someone else has now taken the source code and started modifying it for steam, as "BEAST" wasn't previously a stat and that punching bag minotaur did not exist. I still maintain my own installation of the server on my desktop PC and boot up the game from time to time but it is by no means a solo mmo and it's definitely a product of it's time.
A brief history of the game is that it was made by two guys in their garage as a response to the high bandwith requirement of MMOs at the time, they wanted to release something that could be played anywhere by anyone, and they succeeded. There was previously a subscription for playtime too, but that was scrapped early on. There's a lot of interesting and unique systems in Blade Mistress, and particularly the crafting is a joy to play with if you're mathematically inclined (We used to compete for making the biggest swords possible, though they were incredibly inefficient), as was Geomancy (Player created dungeons) and Explosives.
Super cool to see it still being played by anybody these days though.
Love these videos. I'm always trying out random MMO's looking for something new and interesting, these are really fun to watch
or just try out one bcs it's so bad for shits and gigls :p
Love yours videos man, got me into trying out mmorpg again, its been over 10 years since i played one.
Thank you man! I hope you enjoy whichever game you pick up :)
Dofus!!! I'm so excited to see Ankama has partnered with you for that ad! I've been a HUGE fan of Dofus and it's successors ever since I was a kid, and have been playing the games for over 14 years now, on and off. Dofus, Dofus 2.0, Wakfu, Dofus Touch, Waven, you name it.
To anyone wondering, the games are extremely underrated, and have a LOT to offer. If you can get over the initial learning curve and get used to the unique mechanics and game design, there's an absurd amount of content and fun challenges to take on, seriously give it a shot!
Keep these videos going man. I just found you out last week and been loving it. Good job.
I was thinking of doing the same kind of thing recently, going to the least played ones and maybe finding a cool little cult community somewhere. Im playing WoW and getting burnt out on every version and Im like "damn this cant be the best one"
Ah yes. My old nemesis the bright pink PH texture. Anyone who has worked on a large scale game dev team has been griefed by this.
Dude your videos are perfect I just put them on while I play wow or runescape and its peak enjoyment lol
Love the content brother! Keep it up
Blade Mistress is being continually updated, so check back in someday :)
I used to play Rappelz back then and spent lots of time playing it. Its actually a great game with much nostalgia. The whole progressions, storyline and job progressions were really great. Not sure if theres something off with the version you tried. But i definitely recalled having a ton of fun with the community throughout. Lots of grinding yeah, but lots of fun too.
I like your MMO content, thank you!
I've been a dofus player since I was a kid, I was so funny saw a Add about it, cool sponsor ma men
riders of icarus in next part myb,also much love for the videos they are absolutely amazing
You should try final fantasy 11 if you haven't try it. That game was my favorite MMO I still remember the people I play with 25 years ago 😅
Loved that game so much, was way ahead of its time. FYI its still active with around 15k daily logins, don't think it's appropriate for this kind of video.
great series - more please
I used to play Blade Mistress as a kid (for about 2 days), but could never come up with the name after all these years. Time to install some nostalgia again, thanks!
Dayum, havent heard the name dofus in like a decade
really enjoyed this one :)
hey man
like your content
i played rappelz for like 5 or so years daily back in the day. your version looks like a private server to me (all the oneshoting, lots of XP and all the free items)
there used to be story quests from your starting location up to the endgame. they were nothing special but still bad luck that your version didn't have it
btw i saw some warhammer ROR footage in your videos. will there be a video about it?
Would love to see you try astonia 3 resurgence, it's on steam. Has had multiple versions and servers released and been around since 2000. Also can try astonia 2 aranock. A very old style rpg from around 1997 still with a small active player base.
Love the idea. I hope you find Ragnarok online 2 (if it still exists)
Liked this video just because of dofus!! Game is soo good. Glad they finally made it f2p again. Dofus touch was amazing will be again.
Rappelz has a graphic like Silkroad online. It made me nostalgic and willing to run back to Silkroad :)
Its always a treat to see a mmorpg content creator in the current year
i find it INSANE that u ran into another player in such an old game. and a dead game at that. like... what was he doing? was Basil just as surprised to see u as u were to see him? how do u play an MMORPG by urself? and such an old one at that
Oh yeah I can remember playing Rappelz
about blade of mistress, the crafting system is pretty cool if you know how it works :))
I appreciate this. Often, majority opinion isn't guaranteed to be my opinion. I still think Rift is one of the best MMOs ever.
i would want to see you try entropia universe but at the same time i don't want to subject you to that haha. PMG did a video on it
When you mentioned Russian it reminded me of "Allods Online" used to be fun I think I even tried to come back to it
Try 4story, it's now a little abandoned, but the private servers are always full of people
The reviews for Blade Mistress say to use their discord for guidance. I can see why you'd need it for that game lol
okay but now you basically have to do Meridian 59
Time Raiders was a horrible mobile game engine thing - I've played or seen so many clones with the EXACT same mechanics, movement, text banners etc. The only interesting touch was being able to choose between 2.5D and 3D, although you'll likely find movement is much more predictable in 2.5D
Blade Mistress - a bit frustrating to see you interact with this one, it seems relatively intuitive for players of old MMOs and games like Daggerfall. Given the emphasis you mentioned it had on skilling I imagine if those were real players they were AFK beating on that Punching Bag, similar to picking up a new weapon skill in original WoW and autoattacking the training dummies.
Rappelz, despite not finding a tonne of engaging content on Trainee Island, actually looks like a nicely well-rounded MMO with lots of early 2000's inspiration [edit: because it came out in 2006 lol]. Hundreds of hours of min-maxing builds and stats, I'm sure! :P The actual Steam listing is weird though - basically a Russian localisation connected to a private server with paid DLC on Steam, I wonder if they even have the rights to distribute it.
Underlight - I usually find roleplay in games cringe, but seeing it in this old game makes me realise why: people aren't good at roleplay anymore. In these old MUDs with very simple but rigid frameworks people got good at it. You had a fairly bare environment, and imagination and improvisation were still important active tools in the making of fun.
Amazing video Waydot. Your content is literally my favorite. I'm so glad i found you man
Good Video as always Dot!Keep it up
I remember playing some of those Games back in the day
43 and been gaming since I can remember. I haven't played many mmorpgs but the 2 years I spent in guild wars 1 are some of my fondest gaming memories. Online gaming 15/20 years ago was really a special feeling
While not a dead game by any means, I think you should try Tibia. I remember seeing it many years ago and never really getting into it. I was always told it was better than RS, but just seemed lame to me as a kid.
Underlight actually looks fun, if the README were actually accessible at the start of the game.
If you're OK with an old french only MMO a bit dead, you could try Slayers Online.
It had a golden era years ago, now it's completely dead, awaiting a "reset" which sadly probably won't make people come back.
I used to play that ahaha. The only thing I remember was luring players into the castle at one of the first areas and closing the jail door on them (which you could not open from the inside)
@@JpRules123 Haha yes, quite good memories of that too :D
I would love for you to review Eldevin. I know JSH has already gone over this in Worst MMO Ever, but I feel your style of reviews differ enough from his that you could bring a fresh perspective. Despite its flaws and dead servers, I have found myself really enjoying the game.
i used to play rappelz way back, it was amazing, p2w sadly but have fun anyways
I played it back in middle school, but I don't remember it being that bad LOL
How can people be like "yeah this game will be good"
I want to see a tera online review but game got closed and there is only personal servers or console version
did archosaur make the first one? it looks almost identical to dragon raja
Someone should really makes vídeos about games that allows you to play as Spellblade 🙏
echoes of yore looks like its made of mostly pre made assets
Yeah... you're in fact correct. I've seen a dozen games with the exact same character models, and a couple of them are actually good.
They've mostly been used for zombie survival games. I forget what the model pack is called though.
They're called the synty assets. The are very common with low poly games~ to the point that all low poly games use them. The Character are the most notable, but a lot of the rest is a mixture of bought assets and made assets. Again common in low poly games.
@@MazeElwin Aren't they built with a character creator as well? I own a game with the synty assets... They're not bad.
lolol i remember when i was burnt out of rs as well. lmao you will crawl back soon dont worry
try Jx2 Swordman Online pls, there is cambodia server is English
This was amazing. You went from talking about obscure games straight into that ad read. Dofus touch lmfao wtf even is this game bro
Please try out flyff universe
oh man MUDs used to be the shit
Did lost ark steal from rappelz? That is clearly Kharmine....
Have you tried RuneScape?🤔
Lol the time raiders have a UI for mobile game 😭
Echoes of Yore, oh man. I was pumped for that game and was in testing lol. They borked the pre launch and launch so bad, killed any momentum it could have ever had.
Stay away from games that look too good to be true... it's because they are, since they're using store bought assets.
updates weekly, come check it out again :P all feedback is good
@@HaveButOneLife 80% of games use store bought assets... assassin's creed being the most know. Reusing and buying assets is normal and should not be shamed. It can cost anywhere for $50- $3000 for a single asset; just better to use asset collections if you dont have that million dollar budget for assets.
@@MazeElwin Assasson's Creed also has professional art teams that model their own meshes alongside the store bought ones. Typically they're only used for design prototypes and then get replaced by original assets from my understanding.
I haven't seen evidence of Ubisoft using store bought assets.
@@HaveButOneLife they dont have to use store bought assets, they're rich~ but they do reuse assets in nearly everyone of their games.
Still asking for city of heroes
As an EverQuest 1 player, your words hurt me. I wouldn't even compare Blade Mistress to RuneScape 🤣
Oh, I'm an old EQ1 player as well. I didn't mean the gameplay/world was anything even close to Everquest, i was more pointing out the general graphical feel and ambience of the game definitely took me back to playing EQ1 on the family computer in 1999.
try MIR4 PLS ?
Can you pls try Metin 2
play turf battles pls !!
Try rift.
Anyone wanting nostalgic charm should play Project Gorgon, not whatever that Blade Mistress junk was.
I am like number 263
1st 🎉
Your age shows through here buddy. Comparing an mmorpgs building system to fortnite is laughable. =D
🤓
Shut up Justin
God don't ever give Josh Strife views. He's a blight. All he does is whine about everything even in top tier MMOs, and he thinks he's a game dev despite clearly knowing nothing. He thinks his personal opinion is how all games should be. No one is more annoying than he is.
What do you mean by “He whines” Are you saying that he cries?
Disavow.
I have a game for you that's underrated and one of 𝐓𝐇𝐄 best FPS out there. I think the servers are still up but rarely anyone plays it anymore.
Game name: Tribes: Ascend
Crazy you mention tribes, i played tribes 2 and tribes vengeance when I was younger. There is also currently a Tribes 3 in beta right now, though it's not looking very promising.
@@Waydots Man, I would love to play Tribes Ascend again. I never played 1 & 2 but the mechanics on Tribes Ascend were legendary. I hope you will play it one day. I am downloading it as we speak. 😂
@@Waydots i also thought the game was way ahead of it's time.
Can anyone recommend good mmo game thats not p2w?Im returning player played allot of swotr back in the day and after a while decided to start some new mmo.Just pls dont recommend me japanesse hentai looking mmos pls.Thx :)
I played dofus for a couple of months before confirming what a piece of crap the game is. Hence, this video deserves a dislike from my part for recommending it
