Yeah it was definitely cool but from a gameplay standpoint it was a little annoying, and even if not that, the ROBLOX engine and servers just suck ass and can't handle the amount of strain it put on the game from a performance perspective.

what i loved about world of magic is its openness. World of magic feels like a true open world game because it never forces you to go do this quest or go to this specific location. Everything is optional. every quest, every enemy, even the storyline is optional. When I started playing, which was before the storyline was added, it felt like could i create my own character and make it go through its own adventures. Other games don't invoke such feelings. They make you play as a character they created that you may customize it (but that is just visual appearances) and you go through a story that may have multiple routes. World of magic (of when i started) felt different, as it allowed me to make my own character and story for that character. tldr world of magic allows you to make a character and its story whereas other games dont (at least to an extent) and i loved it.

[@shawermus]

YEEEES. That's what I hated in Arcane Odyssey. Islands are small and boats are cool and all, but they are just not as fun as travelling on feet with new movement system that doesn't force you to wait every minute for stamina to recharge. The game overall gives much, MUCH less freedom than WoM That's what I missed so much, thanks you for clearing it up to me.

[@bowldawg4394]

WoM definitely feels more like a sandbox, but I really appreciate the build variety and expanded customization AO has

[@The_Copper_Element_Itself]

Honestly, the fact they removed cultures, culture specific items and the GODDAM DIFFERENT BIRTHPLACES FOR EACH PLAYER was kind of sad for me in AO, those were so much nice and original ideas, it helped the immersion with the game

@@The_Copper_Element_Itself tbh culture locked items were stupid. However just having culture specific items would be really cool

I loved WoM because how interactable the enviroment and the npcs was, threats were hella fun. Also i absolutely loved the random generation of things, you wouldnt find the same npc in the same place or there could be not any npcs at all, the camps, the outpotst, mini bosses, bosses, enemies, travelling sellers, townfolk were all randomly generated. It was great being able to both talk to and fight npcs, even bosses... I miss the wom era, even its still in roblox it wont feel quite the same

[@SteveEpic]

i like world of magic a lot but we all know the absolute pain of having to run 10000 thousands miles back and forth to do a quest, than later having to need to wait even longer because back than in WOM npcs have a sleep cycle and when you try to claim to finish quest THEY ARE ASLEEP😭 AND YOU CAN'T FINISH THE DAMN QUEST TIL LIKE 10 MINUTES or something.

I also used to play World of Magic, my character was named Jeff banks, I loved it so much and played it during lockdown and before that.

[@LatinoAmigo.]

i played wom and all i got was a lousy badge in arcane odyssey whats even worse is all my characters was MAD edgy cus i grew up on the game thinking "spikes and blue." honestly i was fascinated by the game originally because i had never experienced something so cool. a game where you can roam a pretty big world, fighting bandits and evil wizards, with a morality system too? it was all so cool to me. the combat hooked me. though i have to admit what really made me love the game was the magic system. you could just... name all of your attacks. it was such a cool feature how my little brain could just make an attack with the edgiest name possible, and not just the same prenamed attack. i also just loved how everything you did had an impact. had an epic fight? going in the town shows the "repairing" status. a criminal is in a town? theres a status for "this area is under threat by ____ ___" the news thing was absolutely amazing.

[@pwnomega4562]

One thing i think AO needs is the immersive NPC AI. We dont need the super destructive buildings, we can live without that but i think the immersive AI of the NPCs make WOM better than AO in that respect.

[@bluelanterns2589]

Agreed. The super destructive buildings did make World of Magic itself, but since AO can't add that in, it at least needs the immersive NPCs.

[@PIXEL3D_WorldofMagic]

It’s not really a predecessor it’s just Worldof Magic was revamped into Arcane Odyssey

[@nevenevada6041]

The highest difference to me is the world Like, I love the ambience and how you can interact with the world in Arcane Odyssey But it's based in Islands so it's VERY limited. And I feel obligated to do the main quests until I finish the game. I love how World of Magic has an open world and the news are filled more easily But the quests are boring and repetitive, and if you are a criminal you can't do much more than a hero AO world is undoubtedly more real and submersive than WOM but you feel stuck to it, while WOM is open-world so you feel free. But it's lacking difference of biomes, so it kinda feels repetitive

I mean we have mount othrys but it currently doesnt have anything to do there (aside from the storyline progression). Despite that its my favorite island in the game. It feels so peaceful and free. I do hope it gets some more content soon. But that goes for nearly every other island as well. Most dont feel much reason to go there as theres only like one or two things to do there. Ik you'll still go there for the things that they do have, but thats all stuff that can be found on any other island (fruits, chests, shore items, villains and heroes), which makes them not feel very unique.

[@bowldawg4394]

What kinda kills Mount Othrys for me is that there's only one way up the mountain, and even then that path takes a while to navigate because of how dark it is until you get to the top

[@astral_law]

@@bowldawg4394 U can actually scale mount othrys from the outside.

WOM had way too much hate, I believe that it was possibly the best game on Roblox at the time, I loved the game and it was the game that introduced me to vetex’s series. The world just felt so alive compared to other games, like if you destroy a bandit camp a magic council fort will replace it, or the NPCs having different sleep schedules and run away when a villain comes near them. The only thing I could complain about is the quests, they were fun the first time but got repetitive. Truly a game of all time.

[@BaguetteThe1st]

Yeah, people didn't see how much true potential the game had. If the whole map really did get as big as it was going to, I believe it could EASILY get 30k+ players. And imagine the new quests too. There could be one where you go into a cave to collect minerals, help somebody brew a potion, TRANSPORT PEOPLE WITH YOUR FLIGHT SPELLS! Wom really could've been one of the best games.

[@bluelanterns2589]

Agreed.

[@Infernalisk]

As great as Wom is,I believe that Arcane Odyssey plays better,even if it's rather laggy it's still a much more immersive experience in my opinion

[@Selatapey]

Villains in world of magic go around, destroying cities and murdering entire platoons of the magic council. Villians in arcane odyssey fight glitched navy boats that crash into nearby islands, and then they get hunted by metamancers. It’s such a shame they removed the feature where things unanchor if you destroy them, and that you can’t kill every NPC. It’s understandable though, just because of how laggy it was when people destroyed the silent tower and stuff. Edit: One thing that could be added no big deal is blood footsteps, they really made you feel powerful. There shouldn’t be an issue with that in Roblox’ terms since the game already has blood pools. I also really wish Vetex reused the world of magic music more, themes like Riverville could work really well with medium sized towns like Redwake or Frostmill, whereas themes like bell town fit perfectly with smaller towns like Palo town or Sailors lodge.

[@BrevnoPolenovich]

The metamancers part hits me on spiritual level,i remember getting trapped in Merlot room because i was attacked by 2 warlords, who, thank god, were afraid dealing with my homie Merlot, thats really sad thta being villain in AO right now isnt THAT profitale to make obstacles really worth being evil one.

[@The_Trident_Master]

[@lonely_mcnulty-zq6fz]

Nah it wasn't lag problem IT IS EASIER TO UPDATE because they just doesn't needed to caring about the NPC's life so they just straightly update one update in 10 month 10 FUCKING WHOLE MONTH AND THEN TURN OUT TO BE AN ACTUALLY SMALL UPDATE I know the game was hard to update but if the Dev being this lazy I couldn't stand it all that long and yes player wouldn't too

As someone who spent nearly a thousand hours on WoM, I honestly loved it from the day I started. The content was unique and well made, and I especially loved the NPCs' more player-like AI. One thing I loved to do in my spare game time was just have them battle and follow me around in an army. The people I encountered were also, in general, quite enjoyable to be around, especially compared to some of AO's players. It's sad that it was discontinued, but at least we can still enjoy the reupload.

[@ventex1352]

Tbh i played wom long time ago before I dropped it rather early on. And once I started playing AO, it got me hooked. Because in AO there is an option to use something else rather than pure mage. The only thing I'm missing is that the game doesn't use your character name instead of your own name and it has no villain storyline

[@ghetoknight7801]

The variety in AO is fine but WoM was good in the sense that it feels realistic enough to make the megalomaniac spree enjoyable Realistic in the sense that the game does not revolve around an plot involving you as its selling, but rather an overarching plot as a whole AO feels like a typical rpg and honestly I don't think I can ever reach that high in AO odyssey, raiding a police base killing everyone, magic gunfights and shootouts, and eventually dealing enough dmg for the whole thing to crumble Maybe it's just me but there's significantly less to destroy in AO And for some reason hiding behind trees only for it to break on you because of the onslaught of spells is significantly less exciting in AO

[@NewBeginnings571]

I have an idea for pvp issues for AO. How about a setting that turns on and off pvp. But when you turn on pvp a minute countdown appears before you can inflict damage, and this will appear above the players head to other players. And you can see this timer through walls and it gets bigger to a certain extent the further they are so that people can see the timer, preventing ambushing or exploitation of the feature. Doing this would make it so everyone gets what they want, people like me who don’t like getting jumped and like consented pvp can live in peace, and if there are people who like the surprise and possibility of being jumped they can keep pvp on etc.

[@OOFUS4103]

Well that would ruin the whole point of AO. Leaderboard people could easily just turn off PVP and avoid all people going after their bounty, imagine you are running away as someone chases you, and you just turn PvP off and annoy the fuck outta them.

[@NewBeginnings571]

@@OOFUS4103​ hmm good point. Perhaps some kind of punishment or something, or you can only do it once of and only turn it on or off at a specific point in time for everyone in the server. Yeah this might be an impossible to solve issue. Thx for replying. I love food for thought.

I wish Flamingo and Russo played the game a bit more. It may have encouraged Vetex to continue it for longer

[@akitoyami4284]

Yea i srsly loved WoM and played it for years. The fun for me was just playing a bit on hard mode by just picking spells that looked cool and weren't rly that good for PvE (eg : lightning, light, ice). I then make my character's outfit and hair color, etc match the magic, before then finishing the build by getting the most optimal armor sets and power enchant on everything (the long part). So my whole quest was to just complete drip builds while activating my neurons playing with magic, and tbh that's still kinda my thing in Arcane Odyssey lol (plus unlocking all magics in the future)

I still think World of Magic was better than Arcane Odyssey, it felt a lot more open and unique. Arcane Odyssey has a lot less exploration because 90% of the map is ocean, so the total landmass might be less than Magius, and even if it's more it certainly feels like less when you have to travel overseas for 15 minutes for a single quest. World of Magic had randomly generated NPCs, not just the bounty criminals or heroes to assassinate in AO, but all NPCs besides the bosses were random. They truly gave life to the world, I felt it really was a society that people lived in, even if they just walked around in and out their homes. The blacksmiths were random, the enchanters were random, every playthrough of World of Magic felt unique. And you could impact their lives, be an evil mastermind destroying towns, or be a saviour of the people (I was a saint, so you can guess what I did) stopping other players from destroying these towns. The map expanding on one big continent felt a lot more fun, the idea of horses was amazing to me because you could travel at quick speeds while still seeing the beautiful scenery of the forests, mountains and everything as you passed them by. Not the endless sight of a skybox and seawater that you see in Arcane Odyssey. Honestly, to me, World of Magic was the greatest game to ever be on Roblox. Awaiting the updates was exciting, and when the sunken gear first came out I fished for every moment I could (I only got the leggings, but I remember I was so happy when I got it. And so upset when it got removed from my inventory in Arcane Odyssey)

[@trgyfhgnt3]

why did it get removed?

[@JoicPersonal]

@@trgyfhgnt3 It apparently caused a lot of lag to have everything on one continent, since instead of one island fully rendering at a time, it was one big part of the continent you were in. Also, the NPCs were randomly generated to populate the world and towns which could also cause lag, though I never had this issue and had a pretty shitty laptop playing it so. Most of all, I think they wanted to just redo Arcane Adventures and they didn't like that WoM was too far off the original formula, since they were gonna add horses instead of ships for faster travel, which must've not been their forté. I personally find it quite sad, it would've been really fun if they just continued development on WoM slowly while sending the majority of their team to work on AO, that way people who preferred WoM still had the game they enjoyed, while now it's just basically mindless grinding since there's little to no story and all you can do is be good or evil and get super strong with your magic, still fun don't get me wrong, but I just wish they continued to expand.

[@trgyfhgnt3]

@@JoicPersonal I was talking about the Sunken Legs lol, and I already know that. But it's good to see that other agree with me and that WoM had a feeling that AO will never have. I agree that they should expand WoM even just a little bit, as otherwise there would be nothing to do after you reach level 500 and can wipe the floor with David other than turn cities into rubble.

[@breddoge9369]

World of Magic was the best.

[@bluelanterns2589]

I agree with a lot of this. Imo, WoM had a more open world feel and was so much more open to the player's wants, whereas Arcane Odyssey has a more "follow the storyline" type thing, which yes, was closer to AA, but not exactly what I wanted to see. It felt like you were more in control of what happened in WoM. You chose how you behaved and thus your reputation, you chose to make teams or guilds or how often you fished, you chose to destroy the silent tower or become a legendary hero, you chose to go down the hero or villain storyline, you chose to do that one quest or defeat that boss or explore that region. You can choose some of these things in AO too, but it's to a more limited extent, e.g., you can control your reputation but if you follow the storyline without extensively countering the rep gains, you basically have to be a hero. AO and AA almost make it feel more like you're "trapped" in this storyline as this character and you just have to go along with it, with you not being able to choose what you do to a big extent. World of Magic had no such problem. Additionally, since NPCs, magic council/bandit outposts and where minibosses/bosses spawned were randomised and not consistent, the game also put you a bit more on your feet because you didn't know what would happen next. The NPCs in towns actually moving around, (even though this feature was partially broken) having unique sleeping/waking times and unique things to say also made the game feel less repetitive and more lively. Just my opinion though.

[@isaiaholat3293]

Why dont people realize that the storyline is completely optional. So many people get to lvl 125 on their second slot without touching the main questline once

[@bluelanterns2589]

@@isaiaholat3293, completely optional is a bit of a stretch imo, rather you don't have to do it, but the game really pushes you to. I didn't know of anybody who completed the game without touching the storyline so thank you for letting me know. AO may have a more open world feel afterall, though I still feel like it's not expanded to the dimension of WoM.

[@TheScarletShadowYT]

In arcane odyssey, fighting is much more chaotic. Like a parkour battle about dodging and hitting as npcs AIs are much more bloodthirsty. Also the weapons aren't like in WoM since in WoM they were slow and needed skill to be used properly. In arcane you just spam for a good dps which should be fixed. We'll see what vertex can cook for us though.

People like dissing this game alot for being a "walking simulator" when honestly, it was a much needed break from all the sea based games. The game had a more "sunshine and rainbow" feel to it that gave a calm vibe compared to its predecessor and successor who went for darker paths, as in the WoM lore, the supercontinent is meant to be a way more peaceful world. It's just everso... charming? How interactive the world is to yout every action, unlike AO where NPCs are stuck in the same spot, saying the same one liners and never caring whatsoever about anything you do. The game also almost deserted the concept of names entirely, which I find upsetting.

[@bluelanterns2589]

Perfect capturing of WoM imo. I never once had a problem with the game being a so called 'walking simulator.' Walking through the forest was part of the experience. Sure, this was definitely a flaw and could get annoying. I can see why people would want it fixed, but it really immersed you in the game. You could fight bandits, see cities, talk to town members, watch the Silent Tower get destroyed or do countless other things whilst walking about. In Arcane Odyssey, or 'world of rowing' for comparison, there's literally nothing interesting about rowing in generic water. Nothing to find except for the occasional shark and castaway, which are much more generic and boring than the brilliancy of WoM. I also agree that WoM had just a nicer, more wholesome vibe. Like dude, I don't want to be a test subject and put into this whacky story. It felt so interactive, and I remember feeling unironically kinda proud when I got in the news for making people in Ironport feel safe and some of the nicer townies thanking me and stuff. The AO NPCs will never be this immersive. The name thing is just awful, yeah, I agree.

Someone should take World of Magic and try to finish the game almost like what the developer of Arcane Reborn did

[@suleyman901]

Wom is too fun

[@sergeantrose]

idk why people find WoM bad, its good, simple as that.

[@RandooGaming]

I still play wom. Wom2 gang assemble. Its even more fun now since you can get every spell because there is no level cap and you can grind to absurd levels. My suggestion is pick explosion and nuke the villages at level 500

[@gpz1106]

I liked it more then arcane oddesy tbh 😢

[@Lazar-TS]

The thing I'm missing most (I somehow don't see it mentioned explicitly) is the EFFECT your chosen magic had. The elements used to be very unique and distinct, and their synergies actually had an impact. Similarly, the CLASHING SYSTEM between the magics. You don't really get to clash spells anymore in AO... It's like how Bawxol decided to nerf every race's passives from Classic Voxlblade to Revamped Voxlblade. Your most important character creation choice almost just turns into a mere cosmetic change with little actual effect on your abilities and gameplay.

[@BaguetteThe1st]

Wom was THE #1 best game for me. So much wasted potential. I'd sit every day grinding on it just to be informed that it was no longer being worked on. If you zoomed out at the map, you could see this HUGE country, but it never did get to be that big. Today while I was grinding, a Magic Council soldier told me they loved seeing the icy mountains, caves, and deserts. That made me think of all of the wasted potential this game really had.

[@ssneakyandfriends1626]

i liked the set your own pinpoints on the map. hope those return.

[@AcaimoCole]

I want my favorite game back, i wish ao never came out and i could just walk through the bronze grassland forever

[@HorizonIncarnate]

I will always love the World of Magic, because I miss my Arcane Adventures and all the Online Fighting I did back then, and I still respect it even as I’m now on my Arcane Odyssey.

[@BAWEVENTS]

Tbh when we were waiting for AO, we were doing pvp in WoM. It was really fun, really. Also I met a racist potato 😂.

[@JohnWick-in5bk]

wom is actually got i liked it but sorry i like arcane odyssey more

[@JohnWick-in5bk]

good*

[@jiafeiavocadoss12]

WoM kills your fps like crazy though, on my RTX 3080 I get like 48-90 fps on highest settings

[@TorgusMaximus]

0:44 ight all that aside WHY WAS BRO'S FIRST THOUGHTS THOSE 2 NAMES?

[@TheRealHankJ.Wimbleton]

I cried while watching this video

[@drewsimon7745]

Anyone thinking of playing should know they unlocked the level cap to 10,000 and it’s super fun

[@mishkahunter158]

made such good friends from this

[@vicentescangarelli2361]

i miss WoM

[@levie4654]

WoM is not a prequal. The story, nps's and locations are not cannon in the arcance universe. Arcane adventures however IS a prequal.

[@amazingnameamazingeponin-sl8ix]

Arcane odyssey is better

[@Voiddity]

Games actually so good

[@Matezzas]

The most fun thing was making the minotaur fight with the exiled or luring the minotaur into a city and watching the magic council fight with the boss

[@Professional_Narcissist]

Honestly, the way i see it, world of magic was such a downgrade from arcane adventure that I just stopped playing world of magic after a couple days of grinding. The game had nothing to do, and honestly felt pointless to play. This i feel like is what caused the game to lose popularity, mainly due to it feeling lazy compared to what amazing game that arcane adventure was. Now we have arcane odyssey which feels 100x better than world of magic, but arcane odyssey still doesn't have the charm arcane adventure had, hopefully it will live up to its predecessor.

[@normal5389]

Arcane Odyssey hasn't even come close to completion yet though, it still has years of development to come

[@Professional_Narcissist]

@@normal5389 that's why I said I hope it lives up to its predecessor

[@Hiruwar]

everyone saying wom confused me and I just realized they were saying "WOM" as an acronym and not "wom" as a word

[@lcplaystuffsonline3200]

funny thing is that,world of magic is the aftermath of arcane odyssey and adventure lol

[@saikou5839]

Wom was so good

[@Shadowboi989]

I just loved murdering every npc in the towns and then running away cuz i was lvl 30

[@zoiker3512]

Just give it a couple years before someone gets the coding and make world of reborn or something along those lines
