Older or forgotten mmos that you used to play, what about it did you like and maybe miss.
Mine was Shin megami tensei: Imagine
I cant speak to high end anything, but the world drew me in the firdt dungeon was so much fun!!! I didnt get to far and wish I could have gotten into sooner before it died
Star Wars Galaxies, especially with the player housing and non-combat classes.
There was nothing like it, even now.
Iâll always hate WoW for being so successful, that it killed more original, sandbox-y designs, and companies would rather copy it instead.
Ashen Empires
I played a game that might have some copyright violation, Murloc RPG, it was so cute it was basically WoW but as a murloc to level 10 or so
oh boy, i was so devestated when that one mmo, i forgot what its called, killed WoW. Still shook to this day. Itâs a real shame, WoW coulda really been something if not for that other mmo that killed it
Rift. It could have survived well alongside WoW had the company not flitted off to make more games and let end game die.
Breaks my heart. It was honestly a better version of WoW to me.
Ragnarok Online. I played the heck out of that game before WoW existed but around 2007-08 it became a microtransaction p2w mess. I still play occasionally for nostalgia sake but mostly on private servers trying to mirror the game how it was back in 2003-04 era of the game.

Neverwinter Nights on AOL, back in the days before AOL had local access #s, so I ran up my parentâs phone bill and was forced to quit. By the time local access #s came around for AOL, I was long gone from AOL.
ive also heard âstoriesâ of the mods over on the rift forums.
rift was a fun game, i was on the forums a bit, but not to the same extent here. wasnât aware of any mod activitiy. I remember really liking the justicar tank soul from the clericâŚclass? I think thatâs the proper nomenclature.
the mogs were amazing, healthy mix of low-fantasy, with some high; and the game play and pve engagement with open world planar assaults made the zones feel alive.
my mmo was the age of conan. I played that a bit years ago, it was engaging, but never really got too deep into it.

Dark Age of Camelot
City of Heroes. I was a turbofan, I had the collectorâs editions and everything.
I always enjoyed the Comics of CoH / V. They were unapologetically cheesy that loosely connected what ever hot fix or patch took place.
Also, Dark Miasma + Thugs Mastermind.
I mained a Wolf Spider from CoVâs release to the end of the game. Crazy fun and versatile. Remarkably good story but little room for the PC to be a main figure in it. (Good for a comic book styled MMO.)
Wildstar
I remember seeing the Rift âWOW Killerâ commercials, lol. Rift was a great game, at first, and had potential. Before they simplified everything and made all the dungeons into ârush rush rushâ dungeons, like in WOW. The Dungeons, originally were great, had mechanics and detail like a WOW raid. The other thing that was cool about RIFT was being able to combine classes. Rift also had a separate PVP skill tree for each class, long before WOW had PVP talents, and that made it so that balance changes to the PVP tree did not affect the PVE trees. Also the âRiftsâ were obviously an inspiration for âInvasionsâ in WOW.
Funny enough it isnât dead yet, but EverQuest. It is the grandaddy of MMOs, and still has a surprisingly thriving community.
World of Warcraft.
