This whole thing felt like an MMO designed by an A.I., like you've told a computer what an MMO is but not why they're fun.
Champions of Regnum is a very, very poor MMO.
Thank you to the supporters on Patreon and Twitch for your continued support of the channels :D
It's interesting that they chose to use grey for their textureless models. Most Devs choose a Pink, Green, checker or other to help them notice when there's a texture issue.
or its intentional. If its textureless, but blends well with surrounding objects (with texture), keep it as it is lol.
Fun fact - while making an open world MMO (some years ago, never released sadly) our dev team was changing something with the engine and had to run every model in the game through a script. to identify models that the script missed, we set the "wrong model" to be replaced by a bright pink Utah Teapot and then run the game.
To this day I regret I havent made any screenshots, cause the post-apocalyptic wasteland peppered with pink teapots in all sizes and positions was absolutely hysterical.
@@CrimsonTentacle so how does that work, does all those models and code just go to waste or did you repurpose them for your next games
@@CrimsonTentacle Is that MMO still in development? Are you making any other games?
@@Fox_Olive if the project gets cancelled we either try to repurpose, or sometimes the publisher has the rights to get all the code and assets in the project so they decide what to do. In that case the publisher was Gamigo soooo... I think they were trashed xD
Combat progression... Goblins -> wolves -> skeletons -> werewolves -> tiny ferrets.
Yep makes perfect sense...
Still more variety than New World
Furret is unstoppable!
@@Chaosghoul Hate to see it lmfao
It's like FFXI. Even at level 80 you'll come across rabbits that are chasing down entire squads of bad ass warriors, samauri's, and mages. 1v8
Missed the wolves>combat tutorial>skeletons lol
What shocks me most is how these games manage to last enough for certain people to be of high enough level to be able to clown on you.
Usually they have gamebreaking exploits that makes progress fast
Any game that has heavy p2w is going to have a small whale community. Im in a discord with guys that literally search for these games that they can take over with their wallet. Its an interesting community of people that isnt ever talked about. Most of them are compensating for something in their life, ive done quit a bit of research on them for a paper.
@@jonathansoko1085 its an enjoyment to pay $$$$ to get easy fast power and then you just move on when it gets boring.
The world of warcraft private server community have had the same called "255 Fun server" where its all basically overpowered shit, but if you donate you get the best items in the game usually better than anything obtainable for like 100$
And majority of the players has the gear for 100$

Having played this game for about 2-3 hours, the takeaway vibe I got from it was "This feels like an MMO being played by characters in a movie written, directed, and starring people who have literally never played a video game before in their life, but have seen what other movies think an MMO is, and base their whole shit off that."
you know how they make those "for motion picture use only" dollar bills that look super real until you look at them closer? this game is those, but it's meant to look like WoW from a distance
"you could have the character hold up a news paper with eye holes cut out." I would... - love.- to see that in a game as a comedic version of stealth xD
Same here, same here indeed.
i used to play some tbh run of the mill moba, but one thing i will say is it had fun with tropes. the cyborg fox ninja (i did say run of the mill) had an ability that iirc, let him hop under a cardboard box and walk around. stealthed him from enemies and gave him some other bonus.

@@jamesonm.7925 To be fair there aren't many mmos like New World out there.
However i agree that some parts of it, especially the quests and enemies feel incredibly generic.
Entenburg (a german youtuber) compared it to a piranha bytes rpg
"The game cannot decide if I need to do a go talk to someone quest or a go kill x quest so it just combined them"
"Go talk to five wolves."
.... I'd play that.

So yeah. I was chasing this pig and it made it into this shelter of thick straw, pretty solid construction, and I used my breath power to destroy it. Then I was hunting this other pig and it ran into a wood shelter and I used my breath power to destroy that. But the third pig oh man, it built it's house out of bricks and my breath weapon didn't work on that. Big sad.

17:53 I like how the ghost NPC is more invisible than your character model is when you drink an invisibility potion. They clearly know how to do translucent models, yet didn't feel it was necessary for the player. Nope, that's too important, better save it for an NPC.
The mysterious noises, BTW, sound like the kind of pure white noise you get when you play back a misencoded sample --- like it's actually an MP3 but someone told the game it was a WAV. Given the general level of quality here that might actually be the case.
But it also kinda sounds like those hand dryers they have in public restrooms, so maybe its on purpose to remind you to wash your hands? It would fit the setting :]
Another possibility is noise-stacking, where it starts to load the wind background noise, fails, tries again, fails, (first attempt starts to retry), tries again, fails, (second attempt starts to retry), and then all attempts succeed at once giving you this bedlam which is actually just normal background noise that's stacked on itself slightly out-of-sync. It's not super likely but I have seen it happen before.
I thought white noise was supposed to be calming. Then again it could just be my paranoia
It reminded me of trying to play a .ogg video back in 2005 when most video players had no drivers for ogg vorbis files.
Dang you just taught me something super useful. Thx chief.
For some reason, this made me think of playing Everquest as a teenager.
I remember we used to just form groups with total strangers, sit in one location, and kill enemies as they spawned. And we'd do it for hours on end. You could even leave the group to go do something else and come back hours later and rejoin with some of the same people still in it, and others having rotated out.
No adventuring. No questing. Just camping one spawn and killing things as they respawn. All for experience to level up.
I can't imagine why I ever did it, I could certainly never bring myself to do something like that ever again.
Something about the graphics and text boxes made me think they somehow stole some assets from EQ2, or at least copied them
many many mmos copied artstyles/approaches from each other in that same time period: Metin2, DAOC, EQ, Flyff, Silkroad, COnquer Online, Drakensang etc etc
Because it was fun to feel like you belonged somewhere in the world, and there were other people there too who you could interact with.
This game was my first mmo ever, i played it when i was 12 more or less, at that time it was called Regnum Online only, it was free with just cosmetic shop. 2 years later they introduced the loot boxes and the game start going down, every high lvl player had very broken items, and it was imposible to play. Also, at one time the max lvl was 50, but with an update, the max lvl became 60 and the company forced you to pay exp scrolls because the last 5 or 3 lvls were imposible to reach. I played during 6 o 7 years and i quit. Once upon a time, was a funny game
How could you have wasted so much time in what looks like to be a game's design graduate project when MMO's such as wow were on the market?? Even playing on a private server seams better than wasting time on that garbage.
@@triploshadow not everyone likes wow. wow also have a sub, this game was free.
Yeah i plyed this game for Hours open end as well. unfortuetly it is one of theese games that only gets Good Endgame and we have not seen it in this Video so it is a bit misrepresentive but true at the same time. Given that it went through 3 Companies allready. One of them was GAMIGO should sound familliar. it was a good F2P game back in its Day , but today its just didnt went with time and stayed static. And the Single....yes 1 Developer works on the game. So updates or new Stuff do just does not exist.
@@triploshadow This game is *very* old (almost prehistoric internet era) and when it released it was free and 95% of the community were school students from Argentina just chatting in the spawn points. It was like the Club Penguin of Argentina.
@@triploshadow lol, actually the combat in this one is the same as WoW, haha. There were and are way better MMOs than WoW.

"you could have had the character hold up a newspaper with eye holes cut out"

I know you like to mention "quit moments"
the 12:40 falling into water, lack of collision, and dying to fall damage only to respawn at the VERY start.
THAT is 100% a quit moment.
Even if I'm already invested in the game, thats generally a "log off and try again" moment at very best.
From my experience on working on a sound engine in the past, these loud noises right after loading might be related to the game trying to play a sound cue at a specific position in the world, without knowing the position of the player (the sound engine hasn't caught up yet). In this case, the engine does not know how loud it should play this sound, so it just defaults to 100% volume, blasting sound directly to your ears.
More teams need to set the default to 25%

Early days FFXI.. fighting one enemy that the game told you was "even match" could mean certain death if you didn't know what you were doing.
@@bloodlustshiva1 Sounds like it was correct, near death difficulty is pretty evenly matched.
@@chaotixthefox you got a point there
@@chaotixthefox Right, but it said that regardless of what gear you had, it only took into consideration your level. So even match with scrub tier gear meant death pretty much all the time, vs somebody who had the best stuff and some skill could face roll them. Hence the "even match" not making much sense. Also, at higher levels, some enemies that showed as "easy prey" could nearly insta kill you.
"This is a game made without love."
I think it looks like a game made by a tired student's college project. So, yes. I agree.
take a time to try the game i was playing every day since 2 years on isolation, the comunity its so nice
Couldn't disagree more with that. If someone is going through the trouble of spending years of their life studying video game development then they sure as hell have passion for it. Iron Pineapple has played many student projects in his steam souls-like dumpster diving series of videos and had a great time in plenty of them despite the expected jank.
it has one of the most interesting open world pvp's but the leveling is intentionally made painfull...
You end up getting to the point of having to kill 250 monsters in the open pvp area where you are ganked all the time just to get 80% of a level
This is a game from my country, Argentina, and the only MMO we had made natively for Linux like a decade ago.
It was such a joy to be able to play a game with friends on Linux back in the day and made in South America. Gaming on Linux was not that easy like today back then and we had very shitty hardware.
We used to play Regnum with our laptops (with Ubuntu installed) at highschool and university during lunch break.
Is really funny to see this review, I remember it better than this, but definitely the joy we had didn't let us see how many bugs it had. Anyway, I do remember it crashing a lot.

I would've also. I've worked way too many customer service positions go accept peers acting shitty, honestly. I tend to treat customer service people with more respect than the majority of people, so if I'm being polite and someone did that, the pleasantries are over.
It's sad that meme-state takeover has shit on absolutely ANYBODY asking for manager in proper situations now thanks to the Karen population, though. Sometimes people just aren't cut out for customer service of any kind and need a push to find other work. I know entry-level work can be limited, but there are usually still other options to work toward.

2:57 Heroic Strike on Warrior in WoW Classic... The worst ability in the game, especially because it manages to convince you it's worth using, but it's not.
Every auto attack generates Rage, your main resource, but heroic strike empowers your next meele hit with some damage. Doesn't sound too bad, but then you realize that the ability COSTS rage and prevents the empowered meele attack from generating any , meaning it technically costs more than it states and you're better off doing literally anything else.
biggest noob trap ability off this class for sure, especially as a tank.
you are literally better off going into def stance, using shield block and use revenge, ones you have blocked an attack.
HS is somewhat ok, if you are dual wielding, though. since it increases you hit chance of the main hand attack by 19%.
@ye or maybe nah
It is actually not that much aggro and most of the time you do not have enough rage to spam sunder armor and heroic strike, so 90% of the time you are better off not pressing that button ever.
In a raid, sure, spam away :)
First time playing a Warrior in a classic server, thanks for the advice!
It's okay if a) you have literally no other skill to spend your rage on (first part of the game) or b) you are going to hit the rage cap and all your other rage spenders are on cooldown (the last part of the game). So for 60 levels long it's utterly useless.
tehnicaly correct,but in practice its all kinda moot,as when you are low lvl there is nothing besides rend to spend rage on,the class was simply poorly designed same as paladin,they shine later but the lower lvls were just otrocious for both
9:54 i love this bit, that little animated portrait feature is not only unnecessary but its so lazily done that its jarring to see out the corner of your eye.
its like making a really shitty cake and trying to hide the taste with a bucket of cheap icing on top
this game was my first MMO way back in the day. It is an Argentinian game and back then all of the global players played on the same server as the spanish speakers. Made mixed language pickup groups to hunt down ppl in pvp as a hunter. Good times. Made lifelong friends in that game. Left when the game started to monetize.
Me seeing any snowy bio zone. “That’s not Dun Morogh”
The whole AI painting allegory has aged remarkably well, huh
exactly what i was thinking!
And guess what? He is 100% on point
Actually started playing this game in 2008 and still play it a few times every month😅 it was HUGE back then. There were several Servers, which were packed. World Boss fights and pvp fights at the Forts were huge and made my Game Crash from time to time. Really had a great time, when the Game had a bigger Playerbase. The game changed a lot over the years. Around 2010 when the Level Cap was 50, the best Armor you could buy was from a Vendor (no pay to win). If you don’t want to spawn at the beginning, every time you die, you have to interact with the columns which you can find in every City
oh hello there fellow player. this is exactly what i remember. i left this comment above "This looks just like a failed attempt at updating/exporting regnum online. Which was an awesome argentinian 1v1v1 mmo back in 2007, fully focused on the three way pvp and fully in spanish so you could meet local friends there even before league had a latin server. I can see here though, it did not transfer well onto other years or regions, that's nothing at all how it used to look, or feel to play." I made so many friends on here, and what you said is totally true, back then just the hairstyles and coloring your armor/tunic was what premium currency served for. And the "Chewbacca" race was the one from alsius, those tiny lamais did not exist (they look super out of place in this game, gotta say) if you will (had a lvl 50 conjurer of said race). And battling for the castles at the war zone was fun (among other things of course). Played on Alsius since i liked snow, felt the player number difference back then lol, could be a little hard to beat syrtis in the war zone. Oh And if you were a good hunter who gave unaware souls out there a scare, your name was remembered lol. Anyhow, a different game, look and feel from what is shown in the video.
So this is where all the Dobbies go when they're free.
To be fair: NPCs wandering off causing quest windows to close happened to me in WoW Shadowlands a lot! There's even merchants that can wonder out of the tiny area where their window is active, closing the trade window.
That probably speaks more to how far WoW has fallen
@@clayxros576 That happened far more often in old WoW...
Nothing bad could come of this.
or good. Well outside Josh's humor.
lol
I shit myself when I saw my post on 14:45
Regnum online was actually a decent MMO back in the day. Very PvP oriented and unique RvR combat.
As someone who played back then, I'm inclined to disagree. The grind was identically bad, one realm could snowball once they win once, and all the underlebeled players suffer when the towers get captured.
I think the loud sounds are because, when making a game in an engine like unity, you place audio players (source) in the world.
These audio players can be made to play sound within distance, or global.
What i think happened is that they put every audio player (source) at global position 0, 0, 0.
You when spawning in are also placed at 0, 0, 0 and because you are so close to the audio player, the sounds are really loud.
your position is then loaded and you are teleported to the location that was saved on the server.
Judging by the hitboxes on those stairs... I have a future as a map designer! Sure, I've only messed about with Hammer for a few hours and barely knew what I was doing, but that doesn't seem to be a problem.
At least with hammer the brushes double as the collision, so you will never run into that issue.
@@Otakumanu Oh! That's true, I hadn't thought of that.
I remember Josh once describing a game as that fake game shown in a movie or on TV when they don't want to portray a real game
This game feels exactly like that to me
That game was Inferna
"Choose your Realm and engage in the most dynamic player driven battlefield available on any MMO." Josh read this on the steam page and at that moment he knew what the next week of his life would be dedicated to.
That definitely didnt age well! But for its time its 3 way World vs World was quite good.
@@Dwarfurious not sure what youre trying to say but it aged perfectly, the games crap that was the point
19:20 Not only was it a loud random sound reminiscent of TV static from the 90's, but it only came out of one headphone for some reason. Incredible.
I remember playing Regnum Online back in ... 2007? The graphics and combat mechanics doesn't look like it's changed since. Physics hitbox were so terrible you'd occasionally get stuck and need to click on the "Die" button to respawn. It was fun back then because the only other MMO I knew was WoW which I couldn't afford. Also yes, it was one of the very few MMOs playable on Linux back then. Until Steam Proton came out I would dual-boot Windows and Linux because options used to be quite limited.
Everyone was really friendly there and the Realm vs Realm mechanics was amazing. It was basically base capture which eventually unlocks the gates to the enemy's inner realm, where it turns into a capture the flag sort of game. That meant coordination and different guilds would hold different forts. Or you could join the mindless zerg mass that oftentimes form and overrun a fort. And then because it was three realms you could cooperate with the third realm only to backstab them (or be backstabed).
But eventually with the level grind and discovering better games I moved on to greener pastures. Surprised it's still running, although all those technical issues is a sign it isn't quite running.
PS if I recall correctly those white stone pillars with blue flames you've walked past a few times are respawn points you can attune to so you don't need to walk all the way from the start. It's probably a tutorial fault!
There were many mmo's at that time that were better than this crap lol. Id rather be playing wow private server than that dump
Why not runescape? (i am not sure if it works on linux)
@@belstar1128 Yeah RuneScape ran native on Linux, it was alright, but just as grindy back then *campfire spamming flashbacks*
The looks have difinetly changed. and those lamais did not exist, so they look out of place

The end game rvrvr is I think still unmatched by any modern mmo. No one really kills mobs to grind, you level up through exp from rvr kills. It's not a pve game. Mobs are just there to get accustomed to the abilities or test damage. Animation is simple but serve important function because it is really important to be able to see what buffs/abilities are on players.

To the game's defense at 5:00
You've done combat already, yes, but it's unlikely you've met a red-named enemy at that point, since it's still the beginning.
I agree that it's quite far into the beginning of the game, but it's an information you didn't really need beforehand.
I think it's a decent decision to have it appear later, to not stress the player with too much information they don't immediately need
then again, meeting some combat instructor who explains you the very basics of combat mechanics would fit better at the very start of a game, maybe together with the general controls and important qol-things like attuning to respawn-points and such. its literally tutorial-stuff you should be tought before or while coming across those things, not after.
If you want to see what end game looks like for this game, it becomes a lot more interesting once you know how to play it. I post videos on this game pretty often.
This game feels like a lazy satire of MMOs. It introduces you to a crashing grey hellscape with disjointed hitboxes only to die immediately in the tutorial and then be thrown on to a high-level PVP island and get murdered there.

This is an old game from my country, Argentina. I played it years ago, even got to max level with a Barbarian.
The game itself, it's a pretty shitty barebones WoW clone. But it was fun having a community from your own country back in the day, when MMOs were all the rage.
It's been over 15 years, but I still remember many players from Alsius (blue kingdom). Drailord, Quiara, Sranko, Carpo, Oscaoburio... May your gentle virtual souls rest in peace.
Actually the original game "regnum Online " was not a "WoW clone" it was an improved (at least as far as skills were concerned) Dark Age of Camelot clone.
Don't trust anything Bred says --- he's taking money from the goblins. He needs the dough.
I played the game. I really liked the atmosphere of the game world. It has more soul than New World.
You do not recognize the bodies in the water.
Another game that gives me the "Ah! This is like something created in MMO Tycoon!" kinda vibes. Happens with almost every single MMO in this series. Like, I finally understand why MMOT is the way it is, the devs absolutely nailed it.
I wish this game wasn't so shamelessly garbage, i've been addicted to it since before I even started highschool. life goes on and my unhealthy obsession continues to grow stronger. Thanks for pointing out how useful the Die button is!! you're a life model
Uninstall it.
no ❤️
Don't get me wrong, I loved Regnum back in the day and its brain-dead simplicity has a relaxing charm, I won't deny it, but if you ever get bored, check some other classic MMO like Guild Wars 2. GW2 was released around 2012 (when Regnum released in Steam) and has different "realms" and a constant warzone too but also dynamic public pve events that make the game feel much more alive, a better campaign and a lot more of character options. I highly recommend.
@@ardenorcrush649 GW2 has pretty shit graphics itself, I find their art style horrid, plus it's only slightly less dead than CoR (NGE is actually hiring new devs unlike Anet which mostly loses them) and the combat is super floaty and unexciting despite all the fancy animations. I bought it and both xpacs, only played a couple dozen hours then quit for good. The game is bad at the core. Plus most people that play it are either trailer trash, SJWs, furries, groomers or the mentally ill.
I can't believe that Josh accidentally predicted the soulless dregs that is AI art 2 years ago. Hopefully Apollo's dodgeball didn't hurt too much.
I played this game years ago when it was called Regnum. An Argentine game made by a small studio, a flawed work of love. Then they got bought by some company or another and the already so-so game went downhill faster than a cheese wheel
to be honest we all just play the game because of nostalgia and the friends we got to know inside the game for many years, its a small comunity with now just only one server left but we still love champions of regnum

Gotta say, AT LEAST the ships sway with the water...I play ESO and have played GW1, GW2, and various other games and none of the boats in those games seem actually buoyant, they're just...statically there. I would love it if the big ships in ESO at various docks actually were slightly animated to appear they were actually in water...
I played this before it became Champions of Regnum for probably 2 years. It was actually a lot of fun. Close tight community and constant RvR combat. Simple loop of capping forts but it was a great time to be honest.
I played this when it was called Regnum Online over 10 years ago. Tried to play last week, wouldn't even start. Judging by this video, the only thing that did change over that time, is that the cash shop is even worse. I do play on Linux, and thankfully there are much better options nowadays like Albion Online (which runs natively) or Guild Wars 2 (which runs fine through Proton).
Or just play WoW, I guess. Also works in WINE last time I checked. Which admittedly is a long time ago. I don't like MMOs actually.
@@Marco_Onyxheart but then you have to play WoW.
I also played at this time. Ignis!
We would be lost without Proton and Wine, wouldn't we?
Does runescape work on linux i always wondered if it would work.
I found you from a 2020 post I think and that list of patrons is just growing fantastically
I think having the skill replace the auto attack is a good concept. More realism in a sense where you are choosing what attack to make. Though it should be designed well so that you can use consecutive skills properly.
I think one can imagine that you can't make consecutive spells because you are in melee combat, so you HAVE to at least defend yourself in between casts. I actually like this from outside view (never played the game).
Think the bigger problem is the fact that you can't make two seperate abilities in a row- you have to do at least one autoatfack between abilities, which just feels clunky
The Chronicles of Spellborn had a combat system like this actually, also dead mmo.
its not without merit, per se. But the system still needs to allow you do more than one action every 3 seconds. Have skills that boost the next auto-attack in some way, but also have skills that don't behave that way, or make the auto-attacks faster.
@@Nirual86 the autoattacks being faster would probably make this system feel worse .
Having abilities that are next autoattack is fine, having abilities that are global cooldown is also fine.
Having abilities that are both simultaneously is the problem here- use an ability- have to wait for global cooldown to use the next one...but by the time that's up, I've already taken a swing and have missed my opportunity and have to wait again for my swing timer to reset, so you can only use an ability every second swing which feels slow as molasses.
Those abilities are already balanced around the fact that they can only be done once per swing, putting them on the global cooldown as well is silly.
21:00 regarding the city's theme, it makes more sense for it to be epic considering that danger CAN get inside, that's the whole point of pvp in having another realm invade yours.
This game is unfortunately made with the realm vs realm system in mind, which you only get to experience after 100 hours or so.
And this gets even worse once you learn that 60 is the max level and the quests end at about 45 or so, so the final levels can only be achieved by grinding monsters.
Wild thing that still gets to me (as much as I like it): FF14 has that exact "combat does not unmount/there is no mounted combat" design problem. Of everything it does *right*...
i prefer the "combat does not unmount" thing personally, it helps when navigating through the land without getting dismounted when something aggressive so much as looks at you
the "mounted combat" thing would be cool though
@@ladyarmourlapras I think Funkyfox is looking for something more akin to WoW's mount system rather than kicking the player off of their mount when an enemy pulls. In WoW you can transition directly from travel to combat by simply clicking an enemy and using an ability. The game will automatically dismount you when you choose to engage. In FFXIV you have to explicitly tell the game to dismount before you can do anything, adding an extra step to something people do fairly often.
@@Spectere I mean it does automatically dismount you when you talk to most NPCs or enter a zone where you can't mount.
@@Nirual86 And when you die. It's a nice touch!
@@Nirual86 Sure, and that's a good feature. It keeps people from parking giant mounts on top of NPCs like they do in WoW. 😑
That doesn't help with transitioning from travel to combat, though. If anything it just makes the omission of that feature even more vexing. It's not a huge deal, but it still seems strange to me.

Ah yes another random MMORPG that I used to check out as a child when I got bored in WoW.
This game has been in decline since 2012, the only thing that saves it is its PvP system, I can say that it is the best PvP system of all the MMOs in the world

They should rename this game to "Champions of Rectum"
Because clearly the game is "ass"
The mount runs faster than diarrhea.
Not one "Champions of Rectum" joke in the whole video. Josh, it was _right there_ .
For those who can put up with the failures in this game and yet still bear to play it are 'Champions of Regnum,' indeed.

I played that game with my two friends when we where 14 i think ^^ jump was not in the game yet but yeh there was no scummy show it was just this questing and leveling experience ^^ as if you are stuck killing bores :).
But the best part about the game was the unscaled pvp.
Cause outside your save zone (the tutorial basically), you had the good quest but also other Players.
And by looking at their name’s color you knew to run or to stand around menacingly.
And then there where the Real fights ^^ best experience ever!
You run with 40~80 people into the other factions Base and try to steal their Crystal.
But you have no mount ^^ cause mounts are only for lvl 50 players.
Those where crazy weekends!
It’s a bummer that this game turned into this :/.

I'm not even a huge MMO fan (The only one I'm really into is Star Wars: The Old Republic), but I fucking love this series. I've also watched the Otherland series three times. Keep the great content coming
I found this this game years back as I had just a linux box and this was one of the only f2p game that was supported on linux. Graphics was on par with other mmos of the time. 15 years back. I had a lot of fun with an awesome community as part of a clan called Ghosts in Ignis realm. It has one of the best RvRvR for sure. After I got unplayable ping, I went to Guildwars 2 for the WvW and found my perfect game :)
If you really want to play a game that genuinely chose to not add texture, try Horse Isle 3 (its technically an mmo)
5:35 I think jump was probably just keybound to the ";" key or something.
Oh my god, thank you so much for this video! I have been waiting so long to see my first MMO ever on this channel.
I started playing in its early stage back in 2007 up until about 4 or 5 years ago (with long breaks). Regnum Online was owned by Gamigo in Europe, so no wonder it didn't get any better - we had to wait months for bugfixes and barely any new content was added over the years. There were two major "expansions", Warmasters and Champions of Regnum. The novelties included updated graphics and world (in 2010 or so), level cap raised from 50 to 60, some new armor sets for level 60, here and there some new mounts (mostly cash shop) and PvP battlegrounds that nobody played because it destroyed the game's sole purpose: the RvR combat in the center of the world map.
The game is a single frustrating grind and the leveling is the worst I have ever experienced.
Why did I play this game for so long? Because of my friends that played this game, the clan we joined and had heaps of fun with and the genuine RvR fights for glory, but definitely not for its well designed gameplay. Looking back, I almost feel bad for enjoying Regnum, but it was the first MMO I played and I thought this was the norm.
To the people thinking about playing this game: Don't do it! Let it die. If you're into RvR, play Elder Scrolls Online. It has RvR like Regnum, but 1000% better.
You described my same exact experience, played from beta till Warmasters, they way they literally made everyone grind from 50 to 60 without even a quest and then introduced the 500% exp boost was a slap in the face, specially since you needed more exp from 50 to 60 than from 1 to 50 LMAO That expansion literally killed the game everyone in my clan stopped playing I had no reason to log in any more.
I wouldn't say ESO is better. I like Regnum's RvR the most. I tried ESO and GW2 but found them lacking.
12:01 is such a quit moment, great that you included that clip :D
This was my very first MMO. I played it with my friends back in 2007 when it was just Regnum and was mostly in Spanish.
The game is a grindfest. It is a PvP centric game, the reason why people give praise to the Realm vs Realm aspect is because that's the main gameplay and because it's a poor man's World vs World from Guild Wars 2.
But the PvE is mega lacking. It's a grind fest that has you resting every 3 fights or less the higher level you are. Eventually the quests stop and you are stock grinding levels until eventually you out level everything in the PvE area and have to grind in the PvP zone.
A lot of things seem to have changed. For starters, there use to be no quest to go do PvP at low level. In fact, you only got a quest to do PvP at level 30, which was to go kill players and was the only quest you could get, but at least you were not asked to do this at the beginning of the game. Also, you used to be able to distribute your statsbupon leveling, it wasn't automatic, and you could enter a command to reset your stats and skill points.
The game is also mega unbalanced. Archer classes used to have to buy arrows, meaning that Archers had an inherent disadvantage to all other classes, and since they couldn't get any other weapon, running out of arrows meant you couldn't attack. Mages however had almost the same range as Archers but without the limits of arrows.
The game did have World Bosses. Each Realm had 1 world boss and there was another at the RvR area. Only a couple of the players who helped kill it got any loot, most people would get nothing from killing them. Loot also scaled with your character's level, meaning that if had a mid level character and got lucky enough to get loot from the world boss, congrats, you got mid level gear that is worse than things you can buy from vendors. Not to mention that arrows are also possible loot, you could get special magic arrows that did almost nothing different, but only 5 arrows from getting lucky at a world boss.
The Realm vs Realm system used to shine with the Invasions system. Basically, each Realm had 3 gems, if a Realm conquered most of the castles in the RvR zone and held them for hours, the other Realms would be vulnerable. When vulnerable, the Realms could get their borders attacked and players from another Realm could invade, this was the only way to play in another Realm's map. The goal of an Invasion was to find and steal as many of the Realm's gems as possible. If a Realm managed to get all gems, they could take them to a shrine in their own Realm and summon a golden dragon that would grant the entire Realm some sort of boost, choices where between xp and gold boosts. Once the boost is claimed, the gems go back to their respective Realms.
That all sounds cool, if not for the fact combat is tedious, leveling is a pain in the ass, everything is pay to win and could even feel pay to progress at times. It used to have a good community back in the day, but it seems that had ended. Oh well, I still have some good memories of it but mostly because of the people I played it with.
It's actually all somewhat improved since the period you are describing... (no longer pay to win since around 2017)
@@goldiegray4828 Lol it is extremely p2w, even now. You need to spend 100s of euros on top tier luck boxes to get the caliber of equipment that will make you stand out in pvp vs the game’s veterans. I personally still miss the old days of regnum when I used to play on Nemon (French server). Loads of awesome memories. To add insult to injury, the devs deleted my entire account of level 60 characters (on whom I had literally spent 100s of euros) without giving me any notice whatsoever after Gamigo stopped backing the game. Absolutely unacceptable and therefore I would absolutely not recommend this game to anyone in its current state!
@@kiankafai7478 You have no idea what you're talking about. People are COMPLAINING that the loot boxes contain shit loot, because they never updated the pools to match newer endgame loot acquired through in-game means. So no, it's not pay2win. You can buy half decent gear with money, yes, but it's not really worth it and nobody does it anymore.
@@madelaki LMAO when I still played virtually EVERYONE decked out with epic and legendary gear (myself included) acquired our gear through luck boxes. Sure you could also do it without paying. However, you would have a 0.001% chance of ever acquiring such gear over the course of your entire time playing the game compared to just forking out some cash to get it by buying (loads of) diamond lucky boxes, and even then it is not guaranteed that you will drop epic, let alone legendary gear. In fact, I do not know a SINGLE top-tier player who has ever gotten all of their stuff without ever buying lucky boxes at some point. And dropping 7+ AS, 15+ damage elem gems etc. without paying is pretty much unheard of. The crafter items are a joke btw. NGD’s financial situation is pretty bad, which is reflected by the fact that all but its RA server have been shut down over the past years as it has been losing large numbers of players (mainly vets such as myself, but also new players who are unwilling to do the insane grind without buying Ximerin XP scrolls). Without Ximboys buying luck boxes, the company would not survive. It is the CORNERSTONE of their business model, and pretty much has been after they raised the level cap to 60. You appear to be the one who is out of touch with reality here, or you are just deliberately trying to mislead people … I am a veteran of the game who sadly played for over 10 years (on and off during the last 3 because of school and work) and I have seen it all. Hell, at the time I’d even been lucky enough to defeat the best player of all time on my server (Yalariom) in a 1v1, and he was donning an OP dragon amulet (another broken item btw) while I wasn’t. And I am not even, and never have been that special, so I can only imagine that there were way bigger spenders than me around wielding even bigger sticks than me. What have you accomplished as a player of RO/COR?

Wow, the coloring system for enemies and the PvP map layout totally scream DAoC (specifically DAoC battlegrounds) to me. Anyone else? Also those quick bar icons feel very DAoC'y.
It even has "Realm Points", DAoC's PvP experience points. I actually think EA (or whoever owns it now) has even a trademark on that…
I don't even know what "DAoC" stands for...
@@kevadu Old school MMO. One of the first 3D MMOs. Dark Age of Camelot developed by Mythic Entertainment (later bought by EA and merged with Bioware) originally launched 2001 in the US and 2002 in the EU (I actually think it was one of the first, if not the first MMO to offer localization in 5 languages).
Yes this game took a lot from Daoc, and honestly a bold choice to do something like that instead of another wow/korean mmo, but they never improved anything at the end. Grinding was atrocious, i remember some of my guild members used 2 accounts at the same time ( 1 healer + any other class) Just to reduce the time you spend waiting sit down to regen health & mana
@@xLeandroIX Yeah, I kind of like the idea and I'm glad it's not just me seeing the similarities. DAoC had the sitting, too, but I guess this game was just lacking the polish overall. It feels like something you'd have expected as a beta like 15 years ago.
Apologies for the necropost, kinda been scrolling through your content and watching more recently. I actually have a bit of history with this game, much to my chagrin. I played this game mostly about 10 to 13 years ago, gave it a good run when it was "Regnum Online" and even for awhile when it introduced forced rest times, increased the grind, and introduced the "champion" levels system. While I don't wholly regret it, I do regret a number of things that happened later.
They actually took and implemented one of my ideas/constructive criticisms to improve the game play, more or less, which was inspired by DAoC, which I played through most of my college years. The idea that you had to capture and maintain 2 of the 3 enemy keeps to unlock the ability to raid the main castle and recover the relic, then haul the relic back to your own realm's castle. The so-called "Relic Raids" For good or for worse, they implemented my idea a little after changing from "Regnum Online" to "Champions of Regnum". Back in 2010 or 2011, I was still very much into the idea of 3v3 world versus world games akin to Dark Age of Camelot. And Regnum at that time, was one of the closer things to that gameplay that I liked. Only, missing a lot of content, and involving a much, much, much, much smaller land mass. So I was kinda into it, and it was something to do.
So, shortly after they implemented my DAoC inspired relic raid idea, I was then permanently banned me from the forums for mentioning a different game in the off topic section (I brought up Star Citizen). They claimed violation of ToS, and it was a perma-ban on my first offense, I never even received warnings from the mods, and I wasn't the type to stir up trouble. To this day I am still bitter about that nonsense, especially when other players also mentioned other games, some even within the fantasy MMO category, without so much as a warning. I mentioned a space sim that wasn't even an MMO yet. Several players vouched for me, and got in touch with the head mod, but they were basically "yeah no." I could still play the game, could still interact with friends, didn't get flack from anyone in the chat. But for whatever reason, they permabanned me for mentioning an obscure in-development barely alpha game in development. And so I left, and didn't really look back.
In hind sight, maybe it's for the best as the whole project kinda became a bit of a shit show and they did have some internal issues they were dealing with to keep the whole thing barely floating while also trying to grow and train new dev team members to keep the thing from burning to the ground. Maybe they were scared of me and my potential for damaging the game's reputation by launching a number of constructive criticisms. Maybe I had more put together comments and constructive arguments than I realized. Don't know. Don't really want to know. Maybe they had too much hubris and didn't want to admit to implementing one of my design ideas/taking and implementing an idea from a player.
Though, in fairness, at that time back in the 2010's it was the only MMO, and one of the only larger non-mobile games out of/in Argentina. They didn't really have a thriving game dev industry. Also, I do know a lot of issues internally with their small team happened after their lead engineer left the team, and they were basically doing everything they could to keep the whole project from going belly up as they had to train new devs/coders and only the previous lead guy ever truly fully understood the systems they had developed. Pretty rough stuff. I can kinda understand what they were going through, but I won't defend them. Take the game at face value, because that's really all there is to it.
I'd still like to see Digimon Masters Online in this series at some point.
Now... that's a bad, horribly p2w game! can't wait to see it
I did not even know there was a digimon mmo it would have been gigantic if it came out in 1999/2000 (ok maybe not since not everyone had internet yet) but it came out in 2009 apparently
I can't believe its still going, lol. That was one of the first MMOs I ever played.
