what happened to MMOs?

Lost Ark being in any other bracket than ZZZ- in any chart is a fake chart. I have never seen a more trash time vampire pointless progression system than that game.

The Internet turned to shit thus killing MMOs

Discord killed the chatroom aspect and social media removed the novelty of connecting to people through the internet

NTA, but MMOs, the old school ones, where a pretty shitty and born dead concept to begin with. It has nothing to do with the internet turning to shit.

No well adjusted adult has the time, or can be realistically expected to keep up with the insane demands of keeping up and progressing in an old school MMO, which required you to make it the sole focus of your life. Demanding that kind of dedication was never realistic in the first place, and it especially isn't realistic today. So there is little wonder they died out.

FF14 killed them ^_^ i made once a list of how this game was connected to the amount of cuties killing themselves before on Facebook. FF14 is one of the worst inventions in the history of humankind.

I think picrel gets released in the West at the end of October. Supposedly not P2W.

Dofus is insanely good but it's a broken game.

1) Social media, Discord and the general appification and commodification of the entire human experience destroyed the social element meaning the major element of MMOs are redundant.
2) The normalisation of the absolutely greedy and egregious monetisation methods that has permeated through the entire genre and broader industry fragments player bases and destroys goodwill.
3) the nature of the the hyper connected modern internet means that chinks, jeets, favela monkeys and other undesirables constantly ruin your gameplay experience causing playerbases to collapse
4) complete and utter horseshit moderation practices that are bias, automated or just completely opaque. Once somebody gets burnt once, losing all of their time and money, they're less likely to pick up another MMO. Also causes a chilling effect where everyone is scared to fucking say anything further destroying social elements.
5) Devs are incompetent faggot diversity hires who don't know their audience and sabotage their own games with political agendas and woke faggot shit, just making everybody angry, frustrated and polarised.

The death of the MMO genre can be almost entirely blamed on developers and their actions over time. They did it to themselves. Sure, shit like Discord and its consequences isn't their fault - but that alone didn't kill MMOs. The MMO devs killed their own industry and every day I pray that the dear Lord burns many more filthy game dev beasts alive.

WoW as artifically propped-up testlab proliferated predatory proto-mobile buisness practices across the entire industry by gaslighting the genre into submission.

Let me guess, in your mind WoW is an "old school" MMO.

Are we gonna pretend that everything except that shitty korean upgrade system wasn't kino as fuck?

Wakfu is a lot better designed but the masses (and the /vmg/ guild that keeps making these stealth threads) have nostalgia for Dofus

>>720718772
Better systems but overall Dofus is the better game, the balance in wakfu is a mess and playing monoacc is painful compared to Dofus

>>720717637
I'm not reading all that

>>720714136 (OP)
fuck maplestory

>>720721329
Well then its your loss you illiterate fag kys

>>720721767
Unity client is out and playing monoaccount is fun, no reason not to try it, sub price is still cheap

They were taken over by people who have no love for the soul of the art but excel at office politics brought upon creators by their corpo profit driven owners

What about Dark Ages?

Should be in S, put some respect on one of the only genuine social-MMOs left still going.

>>720722490
Fun game with nice sprites. I always hated the people who roleplayed too seriously like egotistical niggers

>>720714307
All KMMOs have trash systems and should be at F tier by default if you actually care about that. Lost Ark and most KMMOs still beat all western games in gameplay alone.

The whole point of MMOs was being the only multiplayer games where you could meet with massive communities in real time. That quickly stopped being a novelty so much it brought up that shovelware era of MMOs where chinks would rip off as many KMMOs as possible. Fists of Fu was literally a straight code by code Elsword rip off.

Then MOBAs came and after all genres had multiplayer elements hence why we have people saying PoE and Warframe being MMOs despite not having all the elements that tended to be in MMOs so the term became kind of a meme when now all mobile games have a global chat, guilds, lobbies, etc.
