Do you play any MMOs, /jp/? I'm looking for something to play. I quit playing FFXIV because it's shit. I have no interest in WoW. Most other modern MMOs aren't worth playing.

I amused the idea of revisiting Ragnarok, but I don't know if NovaRO or Rise of Midgard are worth bothering with, and everything I hear about the official servers is awful.

Are you playing anything right now?

[Anonymous No.]

Last mmo I played was Runescape like 9 years ago. I have no interest in returning to that barren world or anything similar.

Guild Wars 2, because it is something different.

I don't have fun with MMOs anymore. I played private server World of warcraft last year but I got bored of that quickly. I would like to play something like TERA because I found PVP fun, but my latency was too high to have any serious enjoyment.

[Anonymous No.]

I play BDO right now, it has really good character "waifus" and is fun to play if you enjoy grinding a lot.

But there's quite a lot of RNG elements in the game tho.

I'm playing Tera because cute girls are cute and the action combat system is quite refreshing from the tab targeting one. Tried to play Tree of Savior but its total garbage, even some basic functions like storage are pay to play and has zero optimization, not even a SLI GTX 980ti can make it work at steady 60 fps.

I returned to wow just to see if the new paragon and diablo system was fun, and it actually is a lot more fun than WoD. Sadly the game is extremely unfriendly to alt characters

I've gotten back into PSO2. I never finished most of the story stuff since it wasn't really translated back then so I'm doing that. Still pretty fun.

Tree of Savior and Mabinogi are the only MMORPGs I can stand to play. Everything else is too lame/ugly/boring. Peria Chronicles is my last hope to take it easy in an MMO, but I'm probably going to give up.

I'm sad I'll never get to play MMORPGs with /jp/ again like the early days. Everyone interested here nowadays is some /v/ or /vg/ tainted faggot not worth associating with. But even /jp/'s own groups accrued undesirables over time.

I used to play Mabinogi but I dropped it a bunch of years ago because there was nothing to do anymore, and the continuous spam of events/gacha with exclusive items made me drop the attention on them.

MMO are an ancient /jp/ tradition. They were the hot glue that connected /jp/sies together.

I stopped playing FFXIV because I found the endgame boring. I tried ToS but it was very disappointing, like >>16592535 said. I've also thought about going back to RO, but I suppose most low rate servers would be lacking new people, and I don't really want to play alone... maybe if a /jp/ group (and by /jp/ I mean /jp/, not /v/) was formed I'd go for it, but I don't think it'll happen.

I'd be willing to play RO with you, Anon. I have the same problem: I don't like the servers with really high EXP rates. There seem to be so few servers with normal rates. I thought about trying the official servers but I dunno.

I'm playing FFXIV and i really enjoy it. I would play RO with /jp/ again but most of the times it dies pretty fast. I agree that most MMOs nowdays are nothing to what they once were, more if you want to enjoy actual pvp. But FFXIV is fine for chilling and PvE imo.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16596460
There's nothing in RO worth playing either.
If you want the battle system, play D2
If you want the cuteness and music play ToS
If you want to be a summoner play Furcadia
If you want PvP, play a MoBA.

There cannot possibly be anything left in that desiccated husk of a game unless you want to jack off to snake titties and fox pussy or something. .

I don't think the concept of "here's 4 different games that when combined do the same thing as RO" is a good argument against RO being good or not, a combined package of good things > many packages of good things.
Tree of Savior is terrible all around and if you want the cuteness and music, you could just change your wallpaper and blast the techno music that comes with it (that is for some reason lower quality than ROs OST)

I'd love to hop in here and attempt to get a group going, but with a few clicks you can already say that this thread is filled with crossboarders such as:

OP in the past trying to rally up people to adverte a /vg/ ragnarok online server on /v/ and /jp/
>>16595627
being a nameusing attentionseeker on the /vg/ board
Of course these people might not be bad people in any way, and maybe they've contributed to the well-being of /jp/ for eons, but there's no way other than to force everyone to jump trough VPN hoops and playing some obscure old and dead game on Eastern servers to (mostly) nullify out drama-seekers and just general advertisers, and even then most people who have played together thanks to threads like these are burned out from being tricked by some buttwads from /vg/, /v/ or even /pol/ at times.

Oh, Gelbooru filename, my bad.

Either way, I think most people here just don't want to play any new MMOs or any MMOs whatsoever with public/private servers.
I'd majorly myself be up for the official japanese mabinogi/ECO servers, or perhaps a custom made /jp/ only RO server where the endgame revolved around hats and hat drops rather than MvP rushes, but I'd have to admit that the chances of getting a population for said concept is pretty bleak.

Quit being a nostalgiafaggot. It is way better than RO's OST. In fact, RO still holds its place as the MMORPG whose music I've replaced the most with better tracks.

No, it's 4 games that each do what RO does but way better.

[Anonymous No.]

>Quit being a nostalgiafaggot.
What I'm saying is that the quality (bitrate) of the Tree of Savior OST is LITERALLY worse.

I'm not going to argue about the four other games doing things in RO better considering that's still a moot point as they don't do all the things RO does better or somewhat equally as good, aside from maybe diablo 2 without counting the cute factor.

I don't remember where I heard the multiplayer part though. So that's a bit sketchy.

I don't mind waiting though. I think Noa is trying to get it on steam, so I hope it'll be a bit more polished than Elona.

Though, I do think Steam is making it harder to get games in, which is worrisome in this case.

I've heard TERA works ok under WINE but it's giving me a pain in my rear end. Maplestory also changes a lot everytime I log back in, it makes me feel like an old man with alzhimers. Y'know, all confused and stuff.

I played Lineage 2 from C3 up until Interlude had ended on retail, afterwards I didn't think it was as good. I know the old game from inside out, so it's not fun to go back now to play on a private server. I tried out WoW; it was unique enough during WotLK but I quit in Cata because I hated the direction they were taking, I had a laugh afterwards at how they kept destroying their own lore. I love looking at all those new East Asian MMOs and their art styles suit me perfectly but I can't imagine myself playing anything anymore. Maybe MMOs are just dead to me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16608002
well for one thing, wow was better during tbc and wotlk. as far as other mmo's are concerned, it used to be more about building a world than clinging to wallets with micro-transactions. i'm not entirely talking about the games themselves either, but the mmo community as a whole. i loved silkroad, eden eternal, tera and whatever other flavor of the month mmorpg when they were young, but they all seem to end up ruining themselves through the combined efforts of developers and players.

i don't doubt that it's partly my own loss of interest, but the golden age for mmo's has passed (until something crazy happens).

[Anonymous No.]

>>16608286
Micro transactions aren't the problem, it's the lack of things to do and the attempt to fill that void with pointless raid treadmills and ``pvp''.

Incidentally I find microtransactions less scummy than making you pay for the same game you already own every month and/or every time there's an update, and denying you access to something you already have been playing if you don't. Let the gamblers gamble, the wallet warriors war, and the others have fun.

i was mainly talking about the pay2win kind, which are definitely worse than a subscription fee. also it doesn't help when the only additions to the game are the kind that take your money (cosmetics, etc).

I don't know what you mean by this because people call having to pay for literally anything in an mmorpg pay to win nowadays.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16609810
a new dress = not pay to win
10% damage boost item = pay to win
there's all sorts of shit in between that you could argue either way, and i don't like that stuff either because it's usually there to allow you to reap rewards without playing the game. it goes against the spirit of an mmorpg.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16609858
I wish there was some way to have neither of those. I like sandboxy MMOs and part of being a sandbox is customization. Locking all clothes into a cash shop is the same as putting weapons and whatnot there for me. Can't there be a game (besides Mabinogi) where you can get cute things in game too and let someone else foot the bill? But selling stuff like ammo or premium benefits or whatever would make people scream pay to win wouldn't it?

Maybe if MMORPGs had less focus on fighting things.

it depends what you're looking for because they're trying to please all different populations and failing in some cases. the tldr is that casual players (majority) like it and competitive players who care about leaderboards dislike it. overall, the good outweighs the bad.

small/random group content - dungeons are the best they've been because diablo 3 system keeps them interesting and relevant.
large/organized group content - raids are good this expansion as always.
solo content - leveling in the past 2 expansions has been great, but you're much less inclined to make more than one character now. there are a lot of campaign and daily quests at max level to learn the lore and stay busy if this is your preference. the story is pretty good except for the lame viking shit.

the main problems with legion are:
1. you have to play a ridiculous amount if you're striving to max out your character. even if you do, the game will still probably piss you off with the strongest items being completely random drops.
2. for basically the same reason, it's extremely unfriendly if you want to try another talent spec or class. it used to be just gear that mattered (and you could share this between class specializations). now it's gear, artifact level, random legendary loot. you have to grind everything again before you can do any difficult content.

I had fun with XIV for a little, especially the crafting, but I hated the endgame. I felt like is started out really strong and then just stopped giving a shit, as it essentially pushes you harder and harder toward the endgame. Titan HM might seem fun, until you realize it's just a set sequence and the entire fight feels robotic. "Move over here, and then a few seconds later, move to this other spot"
