The Digimon MMO You NEVER Knew About

[@ventous8411]

I played during closed beta, open beta, release and for years. I can tell you this is literally a shell of what it used to be. Leveling used to take way longer, the tutorial explained way more, no as many bots. some of my fondest memories of that game was farming a specific digimon with my buddy for weeks hoping to hatch a 5/5 digimon (which is essentially a bigger and stronger version of said digimon). When the first big raid dropped and we found out you could get the OG tamers as a drop from that raid it was a crazy time. But even back in the day it was always heavily P2W.

[@Goldenkitten1]

The thing is they've made some truly great Digimon games in the last decade. I mean Cybersleuth is generally considered a classic, Next Order was well received and though Survive was probably the most polarizing it still did some interesting things. So they've proven the property is absolutely grounds for a good game. It just needs to be put in the hands of the right team. Unfortunately I have a feeling that no matter how good a game it is it would be destined to be P2W due to the relatively small fanbase of the series, it could never survive on sales or a subscription model.

[@acationx1154]

As someone who DMO was a big part of my childhood and teenage years, I wanna give my 2 cents: The game didn't used to be like this. It actually had a full tutorial (I saw the game go through 3-4 different iterations of it), the level up experience was more "normal", Yokohama Village used to be a whole map that had quests leading you all around it (One of the last times I played, this wasn't the case anymore: I assume these last two are to try and get new players into midgame faster). I audibly GASPED when your "tutorial egg" was Piyomon (They used to give you a stanky Kunemon, I'm thankful for that at least). The story progression is also different from what I can see: You went from Data Center to File Island, it used to be Data Center to Western Area. File Island used to be the placed you'd go to for high risk high reward EXP. It's also important to note that this game has gone through MANY companies over the years and was plagued with problems since the beginning (bad translations, disconnects, exploits, bugs, bots). Here are some core memories for my fellow DMO players: - Intensely changing channels in Silver Lake to find out where the Kuwagamon raid was happening - Desperately trying to click on the NPC's in Data Center but you keep clicking on everyone's shops (Data Center had 17 channels and they were always full) - Farming Renamon for hours and STILL not dropping an egg (you know who u are, u furries) - Using your parent's credit card to buy Riding Mode items - Scamming the survey system for free ingame currency - That period when every time you logged in, the patch notes were "Server Maintenance Announcement" "Server Maintenance Announcement" "Server Maintenance Announcement" "EMERGENCY Server Maintenance Announcement"

[@IDESTROYER236]

I miss when Gizumon:AT was a rare event reward. I had one at 4/5.

[@Yosfelino]

Keep Changing channels on all boss raid to see which channel the boss spawn first and then if you are not fast enough while you join that channel the boss will be already dead bcs of many people hit it at the same time XD and then the Data Center CH 1 is just that crowded with player's shop so if you want to talk to the npc without getting annoyed by the shops you need to find the calmest channel of Data Center XD and the train station is only have 2 train i believe, village of begining and i forgot the other one but the other can lead you to the area where you can monsteruse card to spawn monster that drop mission item for Alphamon Ouryuken and Omegamon Jogress Mission

[@Bifito]

Yup, pre-File island era where DATS center had a waterfront and you could farm in the human world up to level 40s.

[@Arenumberg]

This levelling feels like what happens in an MMO this far in that just wants people to level and begin the "real game" (which here probably involves spending a lot of money)

[@TheGamerAccountant]

Maplestory nowadays comes to mind too.

[@ayoubp7689]

That's pretty much it, i played the game long time ago when it released. And lvling up was atrocious, it was hard to lvl up. You'd go through every stage and spend time in it, every map youd pretty much know it cuz you'd be spending a long time in it. It was pretty fun tbh and meaningful. Then P2W hit, then i lost interest and the game just went down hill from there. This game is now just money grabbing

[@maxstroski3047]

And Even with paid buff and shit, lvling is so awful, So shit and the worst... Full of bots that don't let You lvl

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

And then it punishes you for paying money cuz it's mostly a lootbox or random chance (and even the eggs aren't guaranteed to be worth anything) that has almost no chance of giving you what you actually want. Anything that requires you to spend money will almost definitely require hundreds of dollars before you get something of worth.

[@Goldenkitten1]

From my experience this is the last ditch play all MMO's (especially Eastern MMO's) that begin to decline throw (well either that or they just die). They try to appeal to the whales by basically neutering all early and middle game content so you can get to the end game in an hour, maybe even less, and just immediately get to where all your other whale friends are. For people who loved the climb in the games golden days it's a tragedy but the game isn't for those people anymore, it's aimed at getting the last few players remaining who can't drop it to open their wallets as much as possible.

You know what's funnier is that this ISN'T the only Digimon MMO. For the record, Digimon never disappeared or anything.

[@gamerraito2153]

Wow, I do not remember Digimon Masters Online feeling this... weird. I remembered always wanting to play this game as a kid, and the few times I did, I had a blast (before needing a password the next time I wanted to play that my mom never told me since my computer itself - not the game's login - always needed one to play it for some reason). It wasn't the best game in the world even back then, but it was alright for what it was and a sense of progression actually existed. The game still had issues like not explaining its mechanics well, but it treated itself as a proper MMO, fulfilling being a Digimon one at that. But after watching this video, wow... It's like the devs just stopped caring and treated this game as if it's about to shutdown the following day.

[@BijutsuYoukai]

Been playing DMO since about 2012 off and on. Spent maybe $300-$400 on the game over the time period through small purchases. Honestly all those bonuses/boosts you were getting have made the game a lot more f2p friendly as time has gone on and there are even events held every few months that give even more extra stuff to new players (Known as 'Jumping' events). There's still a lot of p2w in game - like the latest strongest U rank series of Digimon, but even f2ps can do a good deal of the content without actually having to pay. However, those boosts/etc do mean there's far less emphasis on actually doing the story in order, and fractures that questing structure. The myriad typos and mistranslations do not make things any better in that regard either. Partying up to do dungeons/etc is also a nightmare as its done through in-game yell/shout chat rather than any actual matchmaking or party finding system. But it's really the best you've got currently if you want a Digimon MMO. There's the unofficial DMW server as well with rebalanced and custom Digimon, as well as their own unique events, but its still quite grindy and not super satisfying imo.

[@Goldenkitten1]

The inevitable final form of a dying MMO, or at least one that reached a certain level of popularity (unpopular titles usually just go dead silent). The fans of the long climb are long gone, all that's left are whales and so the game has been changed to blitz past early and mid game content to get to the end game as fast as possible so you can start shelling out major cash and showing off your purchases to other whales. I'm sure people who played it during its heyday would be shocked by what's become of it, I've certainly been when I revisited an old favorite to find an identical situation.

[@SenpaiXico]

I loved to see you tackle this game in 2024, a totally new player into this game with zero knowledge is something courageous to see honestly. I've been playing since 2012 and the tutorial has changed so many times throughout the years. I've done several characters to re-experience this new feeling and it's just gotten worse and worse. Really, nowadays as you saw it gives no sense of achievement and leaves you totally lost. Especially now that they introduced a new gacha system to all digimon evolutions, with no daily free way to do summons on you are dependent on people that spend to buy evolution items off from. When you picked your Steve, that was a new player package to get a digimon of your choosing from that list, once again not enough clarity into what you are actually exchanging. I suppose one of the great changing factors for this game was in 2015 when the game changed companies, because no old players have complains of the game before 2015. The tutorials back then actually gave you a sense of playing and didn't let you one shot anything, you had to actually be at the target level and exp was so so little. What you did in 15mins it would take me like 2 weeks minimum of grinding to achieve as a new player at that time. When the level cap increased from 90 to 99 (currently it's 170) it took me at least 10 hours of killing mobs to get those 9 levels. Nowadays it takes you 20 minutes for that, but later levels get so so grindy as well that it doesn't matter, billions of exp that take weeks of grinding and they keep increasing levels. As some people pointed out in the comments, this game is straight up pay to win, there is no excuses around it, I've been stuck in the "mid game" if you could call it that for half a decade because it's just not doable as a non-spender. The introduction of lootboxes and now the gacha system, along with license issues and revoked evolutions just keeps making it worse. Bots plague this game, as you were stuck in that quest due to the bot killing before you could reach them, as still do I when trying to level myself. Manual leveling has always been the major thing I do because I cannot do hard content, nor do I have the time to invest or even money to throw at this game. And yeah, 3000$+ evolutions is comical. I've stepped away and came back to it more times than I can count but I can never fully abandon it, I always loved digimon and leveling different digimons and seeing their forms. I always enjoyed manually leveling with people and talking to them, helping newer players and guiding them on how to play. But it's just impossible today, I've seen several people quit the game, come back later and in two weeks of spending they get a stronger account than mine that is more than a decade old, all due to whaling. I go try to level up in the new spots that give "modern" experience rates, it's filled with bots. Alright then, I go to old leveling spots that take 10x the time to level up, they are also filled with bots. Over the years there has been and still is a lot of drama and controversies. An overall lack of communication with the community between the GMs and players. it's just sad. I miss the casualty the game had, now it's grind for 8h daily and spend if you wanna keep up. Yeah it would take me hours to do stuff back then too, but I actually could do it and have fun, grinding for new digimon and showing it off to your friends. Nowadays anyone can get it in minutes and it get no actual feeling of "finally, I did it!", it's just, "I bought this". It's very hard to put all of this into a short text, this is more than a decade of experience and so many things that happened, but overall I feel very sorry to newer players who are trying or thinking of trying this game out, it's just sad, so sad. Returning players even more, it's a literal water drop compared to an ocean. Veterans are used to all the bullcrap this game keeps giving and it's just hard to fully abandon it because it's all we got. We were promised a remaster on unreal engine years ago (March 2021 I believe) but they give zero progress posts on that, in nearly 10 years they still have no interaction with the player base, we had at best 2 updates on how that remaster is going, and it tells your jack about it still. Only just a few weeks ago the game updated to 64bits, and it caused major issues which are still being fixed, it's just hilarious.

Digimon as an MMO has so much potential because of the digital world theme. I remember trying this game out in 2019 and being very confused. I heard that you can get new Digimon by farming it for egg drops, so after the tutorial I just spent multiple hours in the first area trying to get diaboromon's preevolution egg. Just wanted to make a team, like you would when starting out something like Pokemon. But I never got an egg and the grind started to feel tiresome. I looked into the games ways to obtain the cool digimon and almost all of them were locked behind real money. I talked to an other player, who also told me that the game is pretty much a grindfest and some digimon can cost ridiculous amounts of rl money. So in the end I kinda dropped it and played some of the other digimon games like cybersleuth instead. I hope one day we will get a better digimon MMO game. Maybe not full classic MMO, but something like an open world genshin-esque digimon game with multiplayer functionality I can imagine working well in modern times.

4:33 fun fact: this whole sequence is a reference to a movie. Basically the god of the digital world was killing off the majority of the digimon, so Omegamon X ends up killing it and resetting the entire Digital World. Of course, the game does badly because it expects you to already know about this very obscure movie that even fans might not be aware of and so doesn't explain anything about it.

[@cnreijan]

Good Video and as a player of this game a have to say that: This game seemed to be improving little by little, but lately it has gotten much worse. The team doesn't take proper care of the game and doesn't change the anti-cheat. The players you saw were automated machines that we hate but there are players who support them since they only know how to spend money so they buy items from these cheaters and this week there was a great dissatisfaction within the discord community that a CM(community manager) told another player that if he was dissatisfied with the game he should play the pirated version(Private version). This game has become a thing like or you spend tons of money or you don't play. There are three versions: KDMO, NADMO and LADMO and to the North Ameria and Latin America version they harm players claiming that they are trying to prevent hackers/cheaters but they don't really deal with them.

[@Douglas628]

The completely nonsensical intro is vaguely based on the Digimon X-Evolution movie from 2005. Definitely confusing for people that know the context. This game was originally based in the 5th season of the anime, for the most part, with its own loosely adapted version of the plot. It never actually ended its original storyline and just decide to focus on adapting other more popular series and storylines instead. Every single Digimon had to be rebalanced multiple times to keep up with the power creep of the Raid Bosses and new maps, which eventually made the older ones completely obsolete. So in return, they made it extremely easy to level up so you could be directed to the newer content while simultaneously raising the level caps. It eliminated most of the grind for any potential new Digimon you raise, but for someone that it's just getting acquainted to the game, it's really jarring. There was also a period of time around 2014-2015 where the game nearly unplayable due to poor server and connection issues. You had to try multiple times to be able to login, it was as if the game was coded that way, since you could get back pretty easily in case you got disconnected after having already logged in once. Eventually the Korean developers of the game got the rights to handle the game in the west themselves and fixed and are running it to this day, they even have other Digimon MMOs. And yeah, Korean, the game is actually a licensed title and not developed by Bandai Namco, which makes them run into issues of what they can and can't use from time to time, but if this game was actually run by Bandai themselves, it would very likely have been shut down already. The previous game producer of the Digimon series did say he had an interest in making an online based game and also confirmed there were multiple projects in the works before he announced he was being moved out of the series last year. So maybe we'll a proper Digimon MMO someday.

The thing about "objectively better" games is that sometimes that doesn't matter, sometimes it's about the personal experience and in this case nostalgia almost certainly blinds at times.

For instance while Tera wasn't really an unknown MMO it's certainly dead at this point (not counting private servers)but I would still rank it as my all time favorite MMO even though plenty have done it better in the time since. Purely because I have five-years of incredibly hardcore nostalgia for everything I experienced in it and all the people I know or remember to this day that I met there. I'm sure the people who play a game this old are still playing it because it holds an important place in their hearts and memories. That there are obviously better games means nothing to them in this case. And I can understand that even if this game isn't for me.

Damn this game has changed, I remember playing on launch and leveling took so long, once I got my first evolution the champion line I think I was atleast a whole week in, and maybe a month for the second evolution it was a very nice experience as I'm used to deep grinds in oldschool runescape so it felt familiar to me, but I am baffled how you exceed my max level in maybe 30 minutes XD

[@kikafightstheboredom7029]

As someone who has played DMO since it's Korean debut and still enjoys it, this video was absolutely hilarious 😆it does bother me how easy it is now to level up, it used to take days if not weeks to reach digi level 41. But with a playerbase so old and advanced, it was discouraging for new players to try the game and it was pretty much dead for a long time Many of the items/perks you said are paid can actually be obtained either by game currency, events or drops, like the different Tamer, clothes, Mercenary slots, inventory slots, etc

Hey at least you can play as your Digimon

[@canaldoekl7318]

To give you some context about that weird cutscene before the tutorial, it comes from a digimon movie called digimon x evolution, and it the final act of the movie, and theoretically (emphasis on the theorically) it is a "prequel" to digimon data squad, the series that DMO kinda adapts

[@S-Possum]

Oh man this brings memories. The second password thing was actually introduced due to hacking and the devs thought it would help (it didnt). I used to LOVE this game but I made 3 different account, all got hacked and couldnt recover a single one. I felt devasted because my friends gave me special digimons eachtime and I decided I should just stop or they'll would continue giving me things Seeing your fullvideo gave me a massive whiplash, Silver lake uses to be one of the hard levels. Looks like the devs stop caring about the level system...

And therein lies the absurdity. Nope this is the official server on the official game, there actually are private servers that exist in which they have removed all of the P2W aspects LOL.

believe it or not, this was, at least to me, this was a good game when it realeased, getting your first mega digimon, wich is level 41 taked like an entire day, the first evolutions mattered, i remember leveling up on my ultimate. Now the game gives you to much xp, im not against that, but, at least, they should change the level required for evolutions so i can play more with every piece of the evolution line.

[@EsteMen2k23]

Im going to be honest, 18:02 is a extremely low lvl bot who is (without a doubt) earning real money by farming because not only shop items are expensive, you need a terrifying amount of items in order to have a strong account (items that could take you years to farm). About the sea of "exchange robots" those are shops and many ppl use multiple accounts to have dozens of them to sell items, items that could or not being cloned / fake. dmo is rotten to the core and needs to be closed ($3600 dlls for a digi evolution nowadays for a 0.05% gacha).

return and scan is for items from late-early/mid and late game on early game is somewhat rare to get an scannable item.

[@skarmorydx2989]

I really wonder what they have done to this game. When I used to play (I played for about a month or two during release, and then some time after), leveling took so much more time, the tutorial was at least much better than whatever that was. That silver lake zone seem to exist only to farm levels and skip all the zones the game had before, as normally quests would have a minimum requirement, those daily quests can be done as early as level 1 and gives so much exp.

[@OO-rt9yf]

It’s a mildly fun game. I’d recommend putting more time into it. Some goals would be to get aox and beat myotismon. Aox is going to be a DNA evolution where you need two digimon to evolve. It’s a grind but you need to go through file island to the end before the leveling starts to flatline a bit around 100 but then you’ll unlock the desert area and after that the real game starts where you’ll find actual raids and players to talk to.

I would have got your Digimon, "WayDotomon"

[@Mark-fo6hz]

subscribed after seeing digimon mmo that i didn't know but immediately unsubscribed by the usual clueless take. i was expecting that as somone covering old mmos he would know more. but i guess he just do it for content, most youtubers covering old mmos has almost the same outcome. Even though i didn't play it, I'm pretty sure the game was super grindy at start and since its old, the max lvl is going to get bigger meaning it would take months reaching end game. Hearing such condescending take mocking the devs attempt to ease the grind without even trying to understand anything shows who u are tbh. This is where no matter what choice the devs make people will always complain. Now im curious about the end game content of this since surprisingly there are still people playing the game

I'm confused, is this a private server or something? The last time I played this was years ago. But it took you months to get 1 level and let alone reach level 40 for example yet you did that in 10 or so minutes. I'm just a little confused. I checked on this a year or so ago and it still was like that if I remember.

[@Dankusez]

the guy said in the beggining that this isnt a private server

[@Skyrus646]

game has progressed to far from just being a leveling up your digi game. Hes still pretty much in the "tutorial" phase in the eyes of any actual player.

[@Dankusez]

@@Skyrus646 yup, thats why i think the video is good, but as a dmo player i cannot take it seriously, cuz what he played was the same as 30 mins for a new account

digimon RPG is stilll ON since January 22, 2002 and DMO since October 30, 2009 and still has active and also we just got 1 new map/expasion and level cap from 140 to 170 a ton of new systems and updates for digimon. and the tamers are dropped within the game. also the chess piece is Yggdrasil and check digimon wiki to know more about it.

[@Rikarikun]

honestly the reason DMO never came to your attention sooner is because the game is and always has been lackluster. there's a decent KMMO buried under everything, but the problem is that the company still has a huge ways to go on making things accessible. (player from the beginning of time btw, I don't currently actively play but I revisit it every so often. one of the biggest problems is that there's basically nothing to do unless you're at max level. Your experience was vastly different from mine, and arguably probably better because there was NOTHING to do before they added the adventure digital world and you STILL have to somehow reach max tamer level before the game opens up and you can go to literally anywhere else. There was also nothing to do after they added the adventure digital world because this game actually has a massive p2w problem and has since just before I started playing, but I remember this particularly egregious moment when they added magnamon and basically locked him behind either a paywall or being so juiced up with an armor digimon that you could reliably farm the content that drops his evolution item.)

[@slathers.309]

I use to play this game back at the start. I even had a Japanese Account and played it there before its global launch. I loved this game more than anything. until it became a pay to win game after like 3 years of launch so sad... playing through the zones and leveling was so much of this game, boost ruins all of it.

[@carlosp.574]

Same here, played for years but it is definitely sad that p2w stopped all progress or made it almost impossible to do new content.

[@TaiMizuki]

"you never knew about" actually I knew about it years ago and many others did too. However, the game never gave you this much exp.
