Any good MMOs in the hellscape 2020+5 or is the genre dead?

Dead genre

Yeah there's a ton unless you want to play shit games like ffxiv or wow

>>718443165 (OP)
for population,
wow is #1 by an insane margin.
tier 2 is xiv and eso
tier 3 is gw2 and destiny 2
tier 4 is lost ark, black desert, throne and liberty, lotro
tier 5 is rift
tier 6 is private servers

>>718443165 (OP)
Why play MMOs when you can play Wuthering Waves and get the same hype moments you were getting with FFXIV in the past?

>>718443165 (OP)
Discord killed the genre. MMO only existed for the social interactions but now that you can easily find autist to hang out with on Discord those losers don't need to bother with some game with dogshit gameplay with a social hub.

i wish rift had a private server

>>718443984
But how's the gameplay?

>>718443873
Haven't touched GW2 in 10 years...what's it like now?

>>718443873
How do you play the same game for 21 years and not get bored?

>>718445668
Sunk-cost fallacy. Or if you want a more recent term, MAZED.

>>718445426
You team up with a cripple, an agendered person, an autist and 2 lesbians to protect a dragon that leaves a rainbow behind her from bigots. I wish I was making this up.

>tier 5 is rift
>tier 6 is private servers
????
RIFT literally has less than 500 active players. There are singular WoW pservers with 15k+

FFXI

>>718443165 (OP)
Pantheon is a lot of fun

>>718444142
there was one before that i kept seeing during the storm legion expac. forgot the name though - i guess it shut down went rift went full f2p

>>718444142
I'd pay $30/mo for RIFT classic / first expac. $50/mo even. Shit was so much fucking fun, and then they trashed it all by going f2p and stuffing the game with microtransactions

>>718443165 (OP)
I tried crystal of atlan, but the only co op mmo stuff it had was end game, which was boring.

Try final fantasy, its the last remaining mmo.

>>718444137
you're retarded

>>718446072
Aww man...I enjoyed the combat in that one, what a waste

>>718446101
yeah but at least it won't get shut off tomorrow when vladimir can't afford his vodka.

>>718445668
some games are just built different.

>>718446361
what
very few pservers are hosted in russia

>>718446234
Got to the end of Shadowbringers and I can't find the motivation to pick it up again

>>718446207
they ran rift classic years back, not sure if you played it though.

>>718443165 (OP)

Do it for her.

>>718446581
It wasn't true classic, it was literally the modern game but with a lower level cap and less content.

It was the RIFT equivalent of taking current retail WoW, sticking it in old azeroth and calling it classic

I'm playing on the new turtle wow server. Never really played it much back in the day

About to do DM for the first time. Hype

>>718446335
I'm right.

>>718446456
their future is uncertain was the point.
like how everybody was playing the shit out of tera classic last week and then it got shut down.

>>718446650
Yep
bummer, is all
the curious thing is that now the game has gotten its first updates in years over the past couple of months
>>718446662
i'm idling on nordanaar RIGHT NOW I ran the new MC earlier today, that sure was something

>>718446479
Endwalker is apparently REALLY fucking good.

Dawntrail, is mixed

>>718446630
looks like she eated all the sirloin steak

>>718443165 (OP)
There's no way school computers can run wow

>>718446662
Tranny server

Dofus

>>718444137
It was discord along with more focused multiplayer games coming out. The pvp crowd left mmo for serious competitive titles, the social crowd left for social media and discord and the grindy crowd left for gachas.

The only remaining aspect that's unique to MMOs and not done better by a focused game is the economy.

>>718443165 (OP)
How did Kenny get so fat? He's poor

Aion 2, what do we think about it?

>>718453297
>>718444137
That said, I think MMO had everything together in a single immersive package. It was special in a way that those other more focused genres can't replicate.
Its biggest downfall though, and also biggest appeal, was the amount of commitment needed. Games that require that level of investment just don't cut it these days, and if you casualize the experience too much the appeal is lost and you might as well just play another genre.
