Anyone up for exploring this old mmo?
Thought you guys might be interested, since as of only a couple of weeks ago you can try it with no subscription restrictions for a time. We're usually something of a walled garden.

Nexus:TK has been going since 1997, and still features a devoted community and developer updates to this day. It's a great contrast to the modern themepark mmos, as Nexus is centred around community interaction.

It's a wonderful little world to explore, and one of the rare bastions of real mmo roleplaying left. I'm the current head of a clan that's existed from the very start, so I can promise newcomers plenty of resources and friendly faces.

I used to play this, way back in like 2000. I was a poet. I was pretty casual though, so I never made it to level 99. This was back when people actually played MMORPG's for the roleplaying, not to powergame.

All under 99 experience is doubled right now, so progressing through the dull bit is a little easier.

The old deal was
Play up to level 49, with item restrictions, stuck in tutorial town.

The new deal is
Play up to level 49, with item restrictions, but you can leavve tutorial town.

Additionally -- every new character can recieve, upon asking, five days of no restrictions whatsoever. However, if you level past 49 during this, it won't let you back in without registering.

I don't own the game, dude. I'm a clan leader, heavily invested in its community, but I'm not making money.
Truth is that while the players absolutely adore the game, it's been stagnant for a decade. With newbies cut off from the world, it was impossible to get new players without personally inviting and guiding them. Recently, management has changed and a lot more effort is going into the game - including efforts to make the game more accessible to new players.

Plenty of people on /vr/ do remember this place, and I thought I'd let folk know that this is a rare opportunity to come try it fully free. You'd be surprised how many old names are still there - we might remember you.

Nexus is still standing after nearly two decades for some very good reasons. The playerbase is the most devoted you'll find on the internet, and all of us like to share the game with others where we can, precisely because it is what so many burned out mmo players are really looking for.
