Can you imagine how much of a rage kid that one guy must've been to have rerolled, named himself smirking revenge and undertaken the most arduous possible leveling path all to exact revenge upon rekcful and co, only to get hard outplayed and humiliated again.

[@giggledropsmore]

The way he talks about becoming immersed in AC sounds exactly like the experience I had with EQ in 1999. I was in 6th grade and that game completely engulfed my mind inside it. The only difference is, my dad didnt let me play. So I never got that deep into it.

[@Masked_Official]

Same for me but for vanilla wow. I was 24 when it came out. Hit rank 14 and was popular for the first time in my life. Oh those were the days. Early days of mmos were just...magical.

[@justsomeguywithagoatee8337]

19:29 it's true, even though Runescape classic didn't hold a candle to wow, I still enjoyed playing it more because it was my first and I just loved it so darn much. I had fun killing Goblins in Lumbridge for SEVENTEEN levels because I had no idea the game went beyond that castle. I still remember my first friend "El_Phil" level 37 (first time I'd been called a "noob) when I first met him and was so happy when I passed him in level and he praised me.

[@Surgicalshred]

That feeling of your very first MMO is definitely unforgettable. I grew up with shitty Internet as well, and I mainly played single-player games up until 2005 when I had my first MMO experience. This actually happened with WoW, and it was such an amazing memory exploring Elwynn Forest and Stormwind for the very first time. Great days gone.

[@creatorofpizza]

1:06 i really apreccitate the little times he was happy and laughing. his laugh was so adorable. :[ wish he was like that all of the time

Watching Reckful talk about Asheron's call brings back so many good memories I had playing this game back in the day.

The whole time he’s saying there were only 3 I’m yelling tibia, then he googles it thank god. Played so much tib back in the day

[@brainache555]

the old school mmos we’re so grindy and hardcore compare to any mmo after. Anyone can get the best gear and highest level in wow. but you actually had to work insanely hard to be the best in old games.

[@janne6657]

"And he was fucking dead on the floor and I looted his corpse" Sounds so grim when you say it

[@pablotorres8039]

Man that story reminds me of my runescape days. Every time someone picked up the phone to make a call it would disconnect....good times.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Reckful story time is best time

[@MachineOperatedBot]

that was actually a really interesting story

[@R4ngeR4pidz]

what you explained at 7 minutes in is something we had in Maplestory, it was called a family though, and you got points that you could spend on certain stuff, like exp/drop buffs and teleporting to players/summoning them etc.. It's cool to see where it originated from though :P

[@fpsDREDD]

Legends of Aria is nearing the end of Closed Beta 2 and about to hit Steam Early Access and it has parts of this (leveling each skill, no classes etc). There is a stress test that is wide open on Aug 17, 2018.

[@LegendStuff]

that class system sounds quite interesting

[@blessedbull1]

play archeage

[@MagicalPebble]

The non-existent class system? It's all skill trees.

The no class class system

[@hotzz5045]

You can try playing Gran Skrea Online. Its new game and have 'old school' graphics and is made by indie development team. Its still developing and patching and people should know about it. You lose items on death, farm life (farming, fishing, tailoring etc) and combat (archery, swordsmanship or whatever, forgot what they call it and etc) professions.... Just a new old school mmo. Also, no classes.

[@niklaswidmark909]

Oh god I remember those days. Me and 3 friends all played Ultima Online on the same 56k modem because it cost like a dollar per hour to be online back then. 20 years ago, time just flies by doesn't it? :D I actually found the game box at my parents place a couple days ago. That was a great game.

[@BenderdickCumbersnatch]

Hehe. Here in Sweden it was $2 per hour at daytime. $1 per hour after 6pm(18:00). I downloaded the entire Windows 2000 ISO from a Warez site and it took a few days and cost a ton of money.

[@konstantinpospelov951]

Big RIP. He had a very similar life like me. I've struggled as well but I didn't give up. Don't give up

[@austincurtis2192]

What if Byron just bought the rights to "Asheron's Call", hire a team to remake it from the ground up and buy a server to run the game?

[@djokovic122]

RIP Legend. Fly high

[@zerglin]

BLISSARD PLS UNBAN RECKFUR

[@TrueCasualYT]

no.

[@kae1839]

he broke so many rules. why should blizz unban him? lol unban my main too for botting.

[@kae1839]

accountsharing, boosting, letting someone else lvling his character. thats all stuff that can lead to a perma ban. He made alot of money with breaking the rules and Blizz dont like it if player make money with their game. Thats why bots won't get permabanned if they just farm form themselves, but they will if they find out that you're selling gold for $.

[@kae1839]

he boosted other people in arena and some viewers lvld his rogue and other chars multiple times, he cried all the time in the stream someone should lvl his char.

[@kae1839]

u really think he only played a pala once? xD u never watched im before, huh

[@jaypond4368]

I miss Oldschool grindy MMOs where a max level character was like a god. Silk Road Online was like this when it first came out

[@chrism45]

Jay Pond isn't bdo like that?

[@mileHIGHpro]

So true. Nothing ever compares to your first MMO. Mine was Guild Wars (vanilla).

[@ericmiller2189]

Holy shit, I played AC on Morningthaw with Anti Parazi... I didn't know he was a streamer, its so crazy seeing this and hearing he passed.. I feel everything hes saying.. Cheers m8 Good pking with ya -Basiledes

[@DanDewyea]

I played Tibia for 10 years. When it was first out and until about 2005 it was grindy and fun as hell

[@Supramandon]

Anti paparazzi! House of Supra - suprasword representing! You were the bravest kid that I saw playing in pvp all the time! Moringingthaw!

[@BravoCharliePlays]

can you explain what this means?

[@Supramandon]

BushFyreYT I played with him in asherons call. The server we played on was called morningthaw. Reckful was the best sliding mage 🧙‍♀️ player killer. When I was playing he was always red “player killing mode”. He was damn good on our server.

[@instynct02]

Ya, nothing that Reckful said in this video was made up at all, he was legit the best ever and it's to an extent that nobody actually disputes it. He's one of the few carebears (people that played on non pk servers) that was respected on Darktide (the only pk server) because of his skill.

[@oddrknot4]

Oh yeah, those 1999 internet speeds were ridiculously slow. Being able to download stuff took days. Napster at the time would take you hours to get a song. AIM, ICQ, and AOL chat rooms... small nostalgia moments hearing Reckful talk about this.

[@lordofdarkflame1728]

this is literally the meme of the old man telling the best story to his grandchild kinda scenario, its kinda awesome and sad that i can relate the story he is saying to the stories my grandpa used to tell when i was a kid, you start imagining stuff and not believing some stuff and yet you can't prove him right or wrong since the shit isn't the same anymore.. xD anyway love the uploads reckfull.

[@osands]

Darkfall is like this but gear is a bit more plentiful. You dont lose things that took 8 months etc to get. But that rush is there. You'd love it. In fact alot of people that played AC play or have played darkfall.

Tibia started as a proof of concept of MMO for some CS guy thesis in 1994, people wanted to play the game so they worked on it and released it in 1997. Before that we had MMO that were text based Multiplayer online dungeons(MUDs). These concepts of skills comes from role playing games like D&D which has existed since the 70's which Diablo, Ultima, Tibia, Runescape etc etc all just copied.

@Reckful In "The Legend of Mir 2" (which was released in Europe in 2001) u could loose any of ur shit when u die. It was the most popular MMORPG in China in 2002 and 2003. I believe it had over 100 million players worldwide. Anyways I remember that a guy from China stabbed his brother to death because he wouldn't give him his sword (Sword of War God). After killing him, he sold the sword on e-bay for 5k euros. Ppl been dropping shit everyday it was crazy.
