Always thought private servers were fun for aqworlds, was wondering if there are any popular legal self hosted mmos. Mmos dont make much money and a lot of ppl developing them just want to play their dream games supposedly, wonder why no ones kickstarted or tried to groupfund an open source mmo, where the project cant die and any interested team could fork it or take over.

Last mmo I attempted was new world at launch, I liked the chopping of the wood at least lol.

I'm gonna be talking about two games, so I want to start with a description of both incase you haven't heard of them:

Brighter Shores is a newly released MMORPG from one of the original creators of RuneScape. This isometric, point-and-click game openly embraces its inspiration from the creator’s previous work. However, aside from this connection, little was known about it prior to launch.

Cube World is an open-world RPG that initially launched with great success in an alpha release back in 2013, only to be abandoned by its developers shortly after. In 2019, the game was released on Steam in an updated beta version, which is the one I'll be mentioning.

When Cube World launched on Steam it came with many changes, but perhaps the biggest one was the newly implemented Region system. No longer could you freely explore the world however you wanted and slowly progress your character with vertical power boosts. Instead, both your combat equipment and traveling tools were location boun

Game is good, now btw. Blizzard's changed! /s

Hello! This is my first "long" video (it's only 5 minutes) about Ardent Gale, an NPC players can interact with in Lowland Shore. This video is an extended version of a short I made last week, which focuses more on the Valravn lore: https://www.youtube.com/shorts//_TzZcGY001o

Feel free to provide feedback about the video (either one). I already have some notes for next time, but I'm always open to hearing more input!

I didn't follow the game super closely but it looked nice. Shame we will never get to try it at least.

Regnum may be the only mmo where players regularly refer to being in the flow state, in order to succeed in what may be the fastest and hardest pvp in mmos today:

i'm happy to discuss or answer questions about Champions of Regnum. I play pretty much every day, so can probably answer questions, here, in game or in their discord. This is a 6 month to 1yr+ game. Most players who make it past level 50 (max is lvl 60) stay for years. It's just a simple game to drop in and play/war whenever you like.
