Exploring Abandoned MMOs

[@christopherfoley8322]

"And i, Andrew Tate in a world without women still manage to die of crabs" lol, that was awesome

[@Just_jarmo]

That was the best thing I’ve heard since new year 2024, hands down!

[@LordLOC]

Requiem was one of, if not the first MMORPG to use havok physics and have "gore" in it when you kill mobs. It was quite popular in Korea when it launched, if I remember right. It's a shame the original devs never updated the menus, or the graphics a bit, or added much more content past a few updates etc. The fact it's still running (even if relaunched a few times now) is amazing to me.

[@Waydots]

That would explain some of the insane ragdoll effects the mobs and even my own character model had lol

[@mergenocide]

Is REALLY reminds me of other similar RtP Asian MMOs like Last Chaos, Shaiya, and to an extent Lineage II (Which Im sure they all claim descent from like some abominable King David)

[@LordLOC]

@@Waydots Yep lol

[@coedeed]

I played when it was memento mori and at the time known as the horror mmorpg. The pvp was actually really fun, pretty sure I played a defiler

[@Heisenbear]

Absolutely love these! I'm ready for more of the upcoming MMOs to drop so I can get more Waydot content Thanks for your time and effort!

[@NathanOutdoors911]

Nine Lives still has an online server but is completely dead. Creepy vibes and so unique. Love it

[@ReqFury]

12:21 Requiem is a smaller community but it a pretty helpful group of people. Concurrent players are probably in the low hundreds at peak time. Most seems to be European and Russian though. The community is global though. This does mean there is always people online but when I am most active (10pm Pacific time) the game is probably the least active since Europe is in the early morning hours.

[@misawa8629]

Titan Revenge looks exactly like League of Angels.

[@homesteadingWithDylan]

As a Physically Disabled Gamer, I back the Razer Naga plug. It allows me to play all the MMO's I love without the pain of clicking the keyboard!! I'd highly recommend this mouse to anyone gaming in 2025!

[@Waydots]

That's awesome to hear man. My dad is legally blind, gaming is super tough for him but through voice acted video games and tech like this, he's been able to game with me throughout my whole life! Keep on keepin on bro'

[@DinMEFilms]

Keep exploring for us Waydot. Really enjoy your content and have tried a few of these myself after watching this series. Keep on keepin' on

[@Waydots]

Thanks brother that's the plan! Glad you've been enjoying the vids :)

[@Apocail]

I only briefly saw the short scene of Shaiya and I was overcome with a feeling of nostalgia for how much fun I had playing the game with my friends back then. PVE and PVP, the healer was the strongest class.

[@tommyizon6731]

This series got me hooked up in the channel .. Hope you keep up the series... 🙂👌

[@OHTGames]

I remember back when Requiem was advertised as a 'horror mmo'. Holy hell talk about a long time ago!

[@brynion2117]

"reading a story with no characters in it" actually kinda inspired me. i believe it can be possible to write a good one with no characters, you just need to be creative (and ofc a good writer)

[@rc_daemon]

I remember when Tales of Wind got released was the best of the genre on mobile, i played it a lot.

[@ProblmSolvd]

0:23 REQUIEM! Loved that game.

[@coedeed]

Did you ever get the bug where the launch intro was in super slowmo and would take like 3 minutes to complete and the only way to fix it was restart your PC?

[@SixSixWurmToken]

Spent so many hours in this game with my childhood friends. Better times 😢

[@ProblmSolvd]

@@coedeed That may have been before I started. It was Requiem: Bloody Mare when I first played.

[@coedeed]

@@ProblmSolvd it was so bizarre, I loved it lol

[@ReqFury]

@@coedeed you can't alt+tab out of the game or click of the window if the game is in windowed mode or the intro goes black. It keeps progressing but only with audio. If you spam the mouse buttons then the client crashes xD. just hit escape to skip the intro if you don't care for it.

[@CorepunkTV]

i gotta say about the razer naga.. one of the best feeling mice ive ever tried (ergonomics, layout, weight, size etc) but damn the double clicking started WAY too early. barely lasted few months

[@akiba7204]

Loved requiem, I started because of the "first horror mmorpg" campaign and ended up playing with some friends for a few months.

[@dragonfangalexander]

Ooooh Requiem. I totally think a gore hiper violent MMORPG has a place in this world. It just doesn't have to suck as Requiem nor be a try-hard survival-esque game like Mortal.

[@MarceloPavez-x3y]

I'm going to download Requiem. I remember playing it in like 2009 lol

[@Gubbykahn]

Requiem was a great fun game, i played it with my best friend and stopped when he died of cancer back in its prime time it was a great Game really, you didnt even saw half of its features. You didnt encountered the Nightmare Events, you didnt progressed the story or even the Dungeons.

[@atmossanguine9468]

Literally the mouse im using. Love it, highly reccomended. Try to get the one with magnetic replacements. Its easy to clean and i can swap to a radial wheel at any time

[@leomartinstv]

Hi Waydot, you should try Puzzle Pirates. It was my favorite as a kid, it is still playable on steam, but the player base is small today

[@sukulele4962]

Tales Of Wind is basically the western re-released version of Laplace, an MMO from 2016 that was pretty decent in Taiwan/China and said region. Basically they gave it a mobile treatment and released it in a few different regions.

[@SeIfmadeEndboss]

Requiem is out datet but its an awesome game with alot of gory charm. You need to give it more time.

[@dileyraraven4847]

Titan Revenge reminds me so much of Josh Strife Hayes' video about League of Angels: Heaven's Fury. In fact it looks as if it was the same game.

[@diamondsanchez224]

I saw a Game Hollywood logo in one of the loading screens, the same company behind League of Angels. Looks like they just re-released Heaven's Fury with minor changes and slapped on a new name.

[@MarinoKadame1]

The 4th Coming is an old MMO still online today with official servers and a bunch of private ones too. It for sure doesn't have the amount of players it had in the early 2000s but is still quite enjoyable to play.

[@SoulOfFenrir]

The secondary PIN were really common in Korean mmorpgs in the mid to late 2000s. Rappelz came out in 2006 as a "dark fantasy" mmorpg and it took a lot of Requiem's playerbase.

[@bakabule]

I keep expecting to see a game I forgot the name of, but loved to play one of these days

[@alessandrobispoavelar519]

You should play tibia, it's an mmorpg from 1997 that's still online till this day.

[@Adragim]

I have a soft spot for Requiem. It promised horror in an MMO, but it never really delivered. Since its beta, I've played in on and off over the years, the brown depression mist is a mood and some of the creature designs are kind of neat. That being said, outside a little nostalgia boost, the game bores quickly. I always have had the feeling the game is woefully under developed, shoved out into release with only a minimum of systems developed.

[@losting1873]

Nowadays in almost every new mmos u can get to the endgame in no time (Couple of days max). In Requiem u have to be consistant and learn the game while slowly getting closer to the endgame (97lvl is max). I play requiem since it was Requiem Memento Mori and i was 10 years old child back then. And the game quickly became my favorite game ever. Yeah it was difficult reaching the endgame but i was having so much fun playing alone and with a lot of friends too. A month ago i started to play Throne And Liberty and in couple of days i was max lvl. And now when i am max lvl i did some raids/dungeons for couple of days and i collected some of the best endgame gear so easy and fast and i got so bored from the game and quit... Ive tried many mmos like this before, played some of them for some time again but in the end i quitted. Till this date and day i am still playing Requiem and when i started i was 10yo kid now i am 22yo guy and its my favorite! REQUIEM ON TOP ! 🔝

[@gravecruon9329]

That 2nd game is just like League of Angels lol Josh Strife Hayes has a plethora of vids of those xD

[@Deadeye777]

it looks like requiem doesn't reorder your tabs, it just move the back line to the front when you click a tab on the back.

[@Waydots]

That's what I thought at first and my clip in the video doesn't capture it properly, but I think what's really happening is the tabs used to be organized into seperate categories/sections. So you would have a category for "featured items" and a section for "cosmetics".. so when you click a tab that used to be featured in one of those categories it would reorganize accordingly. It seems like they removed the categories, without removing the category functionality of the tabs. (that's my theory anyway)

[@ReqFury]

@@Waydots The item mall shop is a complete mess. I personally think is is because the plan was to move away from a lot of the pay to win aspect which is why some of the pay items used to strengthen (reinforce) were moved to daily quest that you get at level 50. It is a shame that they screwed up the pricing on things like Premium and made it 5 USD for 24 concurrent hours, which is just absurd imo. In the past it was 8 USD for 30 days (date to date). Even on their website, they don't have any real info on the Cash Shop items. It just says coming soon. This is the outcome we get when the game is essentially maintained by a single individual (Helium). This, among many reasons is why I felt the game needed a strong Discord community server lead by fans so you can learn about these kinds of things. BTW. Not that anyone cares, but the whole row of tabs (left to right) for the Cash Shop moves to the bottom because if you look closely at it, there is an outline and color change to the specified tab that was selected which resembles the rest of the game's UI.

[@yescooliotime]

I actually remember playing requiem at some point. I, a young boy with no credit card, wished to try various free mmos instead of something like world of warcraft. The two that stood out were requirement and 9Dragons (I think), I put at least 20 hours into requiem and 100s into 9Dragons!

[@BenMonroe964]

Nice series, just discovered it. I've lately been playing Eldevin cause I liked a KZbinr's review of it. I recommend it for the series if you haven't covered it yet though at 30 people online at a time it may be too crowded.

[@NightmareOni]

No waydot, you resurrect the MMO's..... 1 online now!

[@salmonella7993]

I have the original razer naga and play grim dawn one handed so effortlessly. If you love those diablo-esque games like pillars of eternity, you need that mouse. Such a good sponsor!

[@zdravkodimitrov3016]

How about an MMO that died, got on a supported breathing by the community and revived itself in a complete make-over last year after the head Dev dipped for almost 12 years? The name of the game is Endless-Online. It's made in 2003 and it was a lot of fun to play back in the day. Never was and still isn't pay to win but is very grindy. 2D graphics, fairly large world with a lot of secred short cuts and areas, a lot of items to craft and very straight forward but extremely fun. Please check it out! :) I would be delighted to see a revew on it as it seems 99% of people don't know it. Played it since 6th grade back in 2008 and still come to it to bring some nostalgia from time to time.

[@rdizzy1]

I wouldn't mind playing that requiem game if there was a lot more players and it was active. Seems alright.

[@ReqFury]

I'm not sure the hour he was online but the game isn't a complete wasteland lol. The concurrent players are probably in the low hundreds at the peak time on average however. (wasteland is a relative term of course.) There are people that play and a strong community for its size.

[@filet777]

I loved requiem memento mori, it was my first mmorpg, it's a shame the game was abandoned years ago and everything they planned for the future of the game was canceled, they just gathered all the game updates and put it on Steam as Desderium Mortis and called it "Requiem Revival", it came full of problems that will never be fixed again and the few old players who were excited gave up within a month, the game mechanics and pvp were a lot of fun at the time and there were a lot of active players, but still the game is very active in Russia, Russia always keeps old games alive and I never understood why haha

[@christopherfoley8322]

I remember using an emulator to create an Everquest server of my own, yes i could great bots every level to back me up in fights and while it was fun, it still lacked that human element of the original that allowed you to be proud of an accomplishment and share in the glory together, like writing the tactic and carrying it out to kill the 2nd version of Innoruuk with just 13 people while others were failing with 30+. Others truly do help make you feel great about something in MMO's

[@dustincarpenter567]

You should try Everquest Online Adventure. Private server Sandstorm.

[@pj2600]

I really like this series of vids

[@Fusionfang]

Oh my gosh. Titan Revenge reminds me of a game I played on Facebook called Wartune. I was 13 and I thought wings that big looked absolutely awesome. But just think: every time a new server was released, everyone RUSHED to be the first spenders to increase their Battle Rating ASAP. Purchases came with wings, and there’d be hundreds of P2W people in the main hub with their decked out gear. You couldn’t see your character. You’d get cool titles under your name like “Highest BR” and everyone would BEG to be in your Guild. Those were the days. Egregiously flashy characters, over the top abilities, poor english translation, and wings larger than the continental USA.

[@FallenActual]

You should look into reign of kings that game had such potential

[@CrusaderGamin]

man all those games look like winners. i actually had requiem on my game list and was going to eventually play it. thanks for changing my mind.

[@ReqFury]

@@CrusaderGamin that's a shame. It really worth exploring for at least a day and decide how you feel about it. It definitely has its fair share of problems for an older game but it is pretty unique. The atmosphere of the game is what makes it cool to most fans with its Dark and Hardcore theme. Fighting some bloodied up, half naked she-beast centaur-jiggling her goodies at you while you're trying to decide if you should really be killing her is quite a peculiar feeling.

[@Sniper-kz6rh]

@@Waydots ohhh damn, missed it! 😅

You should give Pirates of the Burning Sea a shot! I was looking for a pirate MMO at any cost and came across this game. I think there was like 2 other people online, but the game was SUPRISINGLY fun for how dated it is! I think you'd enjoy it!

[@GoodBoy2069]

Hey, can you try some old MMOs? Like 4 Story- from Gameforge, or what about a Voxel Sandbox MMO like Trove- in this one you can build in guilds and it gets saved and the collecting costumes, mounts, pets are a big part of the game, there are so many stuff to collect it feels like getting all the pokemon in a pokemon game :D

[@z.s.7992]

Just added unlimited playtime? Its like a sandwich shop that allows you to have the second half of your sandwich.

[@ompRJ]

The Secret World( I mean the original, not Legends). This game had an epic story, a perfect thin line between truth and myths. There was literally freedom of choice to build characters, but nowadays gen Z can't think out of the box to challenge yourselves. It was a masterpiece in my opinion! The best MMO ever created.

[@Lord_Calf]

When they set Requiem offline to redo it, my expectation where not that high but i hoped for at least a graphics update, until today i got no real answer what they did except renaming it. Its quiet sad to be honest, as it has alot of things in it e.g when it comes to Skills and the uberpower(?) i forgot what it was called. Even i liked it, that monsters weren't standard and popped into bloody pieces. What it made it most intresting to me lot of years ago was, it called itself the first MMORPG which was 18+

[@ReqFury]

The changes that came from the "relaunch" were dismal for sure. There was a lot of things that were suppose to happen that never did. There was never even a real explanation as to what the issues were for not making the changes they planned and partially shared. I suspect it was because of major staffing issues during that whole covid period (beginning of 2022) and then the loss of one of the key members during that time. Not to mention the code for the game is extremely dated and modifying it breaks so much subsequent code. Uberpower = Possession Beast probably.

[@bakabule]

I don't know if you can count it as dead, but theres a ton of bots playing "Foxhole" steam

[@bakedbeyondbelief321]

Surprised you didn't try Everquest 2 released in 2004 and the Origins (different from the current "live" servers where xpacks are still released every year) server, you have to select Origins in the versions in the launcher pad in upper left corner.

Still haven't seen a video on it, been waiting for Josh to worst MMO it haha.It has a combo system with tab targeting. Fiesta Online was one of my favorites in middle school, I even made a plushie of the slime in home ec lol. It looks like Titan Revenge was probably made by the people who made League of Angels. That's the first game I remember the huuuuge over the top wings. Aion was the first game I remember that had usable wings. Eden Eternal was a game that was interesting with its skills and it had a marriage system. that gave you special skills and exp boosts.
