It was always very fluid for an MMO even in 2004. I think since then others have gone for graphics, seeing that as a weakness of WoW that they an use to compete with WoW, and that makes animations often more awkward feeling. WoW definitely plays more responsively than pretty much any other MMO, which is striking given the age of the game (classic also plays responsively, so it isn’t a recent thing at all).
LOTRO I wish I could enjoy it’s my favorite universe with a poopy trash MMORPG
I miss wildstars
I miss WildStar.
Marvel Heroes Online. Miss that one.
I mean, I really miss WildStar.
Healing in wildstars was so fraking fun.
Oh my.
i enjoyed early warhammer online a lot.
i enjoyed early neverwinter online a lot.
i enjoyed early rift a lot.
i enjoyed early AION a lot.
*also enjoyed early wildstar a lot.
a lot of mmos start decently fun and then they take weird roads real quick.
seems like they all like to shoot themselves in the foot ~6months in.
I miss the early 2000s
Not an MMO but I have a finger, not a nice one pointed at Ubisoft and EA
One for removing the Unreal Editor
The other for making it so I have no proof of Colonel rank achievements in BF2
Reaching colonel and 1 star was much like doing Loremaster on 5 separate accounts.
Man… whatever happened to rift. Old rift was one of the most fun games I used to play
I played Shadowbane for a brief time while it was in its death throes. The lack of characters running around was just weird, made you feel like you were playing an alpha.
Wish I could play Asheron’s Call or another skill based mmo instead of a class based one.
AC back in … 99-2003 was just amazing.
i cant hear or read that without thinking about byron/reckful. he talked about it so fondly heh
Leaf cull for life.
I used to write the archer guides for VN Boards.
I miss the organized chaos of early Darktide.
Is Decal still out there??
RIFT was so amazing at launch. Then I took a short break and came back to a monthly fee and lots of fluff.
Like the other person said, COH is very much alive with 2 different version. Homecoming which is my preferred version, and has actual end game content which the original was lacking, as well as new powersets and pretty regular patches. The other is Rebirth which I haven’t played but I think it has lots more of experimental things and new powersets and cosmetic.
Both are totally free but i think Homecoming has an expanded monthly sub.
