      @@Voidmoney It took more than a decade, but Ultima Online emulators now are reaching levels way beyond what the original engine was capable of, graphics have been modernized without visually changing the game, etc etc etc to a point us oldies aren't even embarrassed any more to show the game to younger people, I hope Asheron's Call follows the same road, and preferably quicker, because AC really deserves to reach another generation of gamers.

    This is the greatest MMO of all time and there isn’t even a close second. Darktide from 1999-2006ish may have been the most ruthless pvp ever in existence and I’ve played many MMO’s and compared them all to Asherons call and none of them are remotely close to Asherons calls greantess…man did I take this game for granted in its hay day. What an amazing game.

    I tried posting in one of their discords asking how to download and run the game and was greeted with "I'm not gonna hold your hand through the process, figure it out on your own noob".. like wtf, yeah i really wanna join a toxic server like that... I miss the game, but not that part lol
    this was like 4 years ago, so I dont remember which server it was, but thank you for this information! i may actually give it a try now! I played on darktide back in the day, and the pvp aspect of the game (in my opinion) was ruined when they added housing. I loved the fact that it was the only game where you were never safe, could always be attacked, and guilds fought over lifestones and leveling territories. That was the game to me, and that all went away when they added housing. Do you know if there are any pvp servers that don't have housing? AKA pre-Dark Majesty?

    • @Voidmoney
      @Voidmoney  Рік тому +1

      Dekarutide is Dark Majesty (not pre), that's the closest I know of. But yeah, some people in this community are pretty unhelpful, but I wouldn't say they represent the community as a whole. Most people want to see the game succeed and thrive. Unfortunately those sorts of people tend to be the loudest, in both the real and virtual worlds.
