Back to life, how? You mean after the closure? If so, he or she would have had to comply with Disney's NDA agreement and this..."is" what keeps original developers from active participation (for the future).
Back in the day, my brother and I were big into Everquest. My little sister wanted to play with us, but she was too young. So mom tasked us with finding and MMO for her. We found Toontown and she was hooked.
Thanks for taking a look at Matrix Online! It's my favorite MMO of all time. The eerie feeling you had may have been amplified by the emptiness of the server, but it was kind of always like that, I think by design. The city was grimy and felt unsafe, there were gangs of secret vampires and werewolves and fallen angels, a lot of the locations and lore were biblical references, and the plot - in which you were a 'redpill' who knew the nature of the Matrix and had to protect the innocent and unaware 'bluepills' - was pretty high-concept for an MMO. I think it failed for the same reasons I loved it - it wasn't colorful or friendly or swashbuckling, it was gritty and gray with a focus on secrets and conspiracies.
Yo that Pirates of the Caribbean game is even beyond what "AAAA" devs can do today. I mean, open world, and you can land on any island and fight on foot! Watch out Skull & Bones.
A lot of older MMOs are far beyond what devs can do these days. Because, well, devs have no vision and no creativity. They have the audacity to claim you can't do the things MMOs were doing over 20 years. Fucking massive smucks.
Tera and Elyon are part of these who exist only under the form of private servers these days. Tera had fantastic combat for its time, while I remember Elyon mostly for its character creation and how you had the option of open-world player housing (albeit with rent)...
I remember playing Matrix Online, while the listening to an online DJ (through winamp) while dancing in the in game night clubs. They would make call outs and stuff and those clubs had close to 30 people just hanging out and talking. With endgame fashion of course... good, nerdy times. Thank you Waydot
I was a huge pirates online player back in the day, it was my first mmorpg I love the recreation, as someone who played it when it was new they have done an AMAZING job!
I have discovered you just recently, and I must say, I was missing a lot, totally love your videos. Watching the „MMO for the first time” series I thought, maybe RuneScape 3 from a new player perspective? I know you have played it for a long time, but I think that could be useful for someone who has never touched it :) Keep up the great work!
@10:51 many of the things that are missing ; are pieces of code that were apparently stored on the companies servers. companies do this ; specifically for this reason. time goes by and someone wants to play this again; and i get it; but from company standpoint; you can go kick a tree lol. all online games are like this. many features will just be gone. and many of them might be critical to the game itself.
They should be forced to release source code like 15 years after the game dies completely. Books and Movies go into the public domain, why can't games??
for me it is Vanguard, it has really great ideas like diplomacy, great classes like bard who made his own spells, necromancer that designed his minions, best crafting ever, great fishing etc. and as far as games never made, my biggest regret is Mythica from microsoft GS - it could have been great
Seriously! If you're reading this and never experienced Pirates Online, you need to check it out! This game was way ahead of it's time and kept me glued playing on my crappy Windows 2000 computer.
That Warhammer Online tease :( I really enjoyed that game, but EverQuest won (and still wins) my monthly sub dollars. I gave The Matrix Online a fair shake back in the day, since it was part of my EQ subscription. It...wasn't good. The devs certainly tried a lot of interesting ideas though.
please please do a pirates online deep dive. it is *such* a fun game, and the ship combat is crazy engaging for the time it was created. Sort of a precursor to Sea of thieves, in a way.
Toon town rewritten is fun but you should seriously give corporate class a try. They the base toontown expirence and overhauled it. There are new gags, new mechanics, new cogs, crazy bosses. Its all really amazing.
I remember playing this weird game that was advertised as similar to runescape. It was a laggy chat game that had two other "chat games". One was a tropical beach you could drive a car and the other was a space game where you were on the moon and could drive a rover and there was a smaller moon you could jet pack to. I was like 11 years old at the time. A lot of creeps on there were always E-dating eachother.
If you want an almost dead, forgotten MMO I recommend Voyage Century Online. Kinda RuneScape clone in naval theme. Recently IGG closed the VCO due to some drama, but Bounty Bay Online from developer Snail Games still exists. BBO is VCO but from a different company
@@LotusPetal I wish to give you all the details but it's all hazy. I found some info that Snail Games (developer) is broke, but how that translates to IGG I don't know. I found some videos like this: ua-cam.com/video/1lgS_fES3ZY/v-deo.html
I wanna be able to play Everquest: Online Frontiers the PS2 game again. I had so much fun as a kid playing it. I even had a rare discontinued item u had to get by doing a tough quest that got discontinued. Then a about two years later they closed the servers. 😢 i miss that kind of experience. The simple but fun MMO'S, wish they would remake it in modern graphics.
I remember adverts for Pirates Online back in the day and it looked fucking awesome Looking at it now, it feels like it's probably more fun than Sea of Thieves
Wait I remember pirates online. That was an extremely fun time back then. Me and my brother a two man crew taking out bigger ships for the the country we worked with , Deutschland. now i don't actually remember if that was the actual name of the country, i only remember that it was related to the dutch. Good times. now i am nostalgic.
I highly doubt that kids are the one that's playing the modern Toontown. Actual younger generation are too busy playing Roblox, Fortnite, or even mobile trash; Instead of a social, role-playing MMO game about some anthropomorphic animals that appeals to a certain "group" of people. You even experienced it firsthand 😂
Ill tell you one game im really sad shut down. Worlds Adrift, game was so fun to play just a chill game you could hop on with some friends and relax build a cool floating ship and explore. Still have it in my steam library hoping they bring it back but there are other game devs making a game inspired by it think its called Nexus or something like that.
I would love to try silkroad online, kal online, or Risk your life, loved those games back in the day. Hey, that pirate game is better than skull and bones 😅
Runescape 3 is a game i still play on a regular basis but there are tons of instances where I believe it's not actually a server but I am living in a simulation of one from 2013. lol
omgosh i remember not playing the matrix mmorpg because I thought it might take over my life and I wanted to play knights of the old republic and ended up not playing that either because it got delayed and fell into runescape 2 and it was like 20 years. lol
I mean probably not i dont particularly enjoy MOBAs. That being said Riot is working on an MMO so whenever that releases I will definitely dive into that world.
As for these videos, im more just curiously checking in, however for my full review videos i tend to play the game quite consistently. Right now im playing a lot of elder scrolls online in my free time as well as some albion and BDO.
Queen's Blade is gone it had smexy anime girls you played as and had to spend real money to get undies for them so they can have a stat boost yea it was pay to win f2p mmo
See. Throwing something like "gruesome relationship" at a man who's been cleared by all the courts is fked and you know it. Leave that kind of BS out of your vids and keep neutral.
Well, not all courts lol. He lost in the UK, and DARVO is routinely much more successful in the US courts. It’s actually pretty damning that he only won in the US and that it was via a DARVO strategy. Also, it’s his channel. He can comment on what ever he likes lol. You can equally choose to watch or not. Try to avoid getting so easily triggered in the future ❄️❄️❄️
Dudeee pirates of the caribean online was such a hidden gem, the ships battle, the enemy raiding the islands at certain point of the day, seeing every player defending the island agains the skeletons. Such a good mechanics and game for its year, wish some company made a game with some of the features.
Isn't there P-Server for that game ? might as well support for it doesn't completely die .. hopefully someone brings back Wildstar, not my favorite but still was a unique MMORPG that didn't deserve too die.
My first ever "MMO" so to speak was Pangya, and at the time I started playing it was called Albatross18. It shut down and got revived many times before finally shutting down for good. There are private servers still, but it's not quite the same as it was. I miss it with all of my heart. Maybe I'll give a private server another try sometime.
I am like number 529
FIRST LIKE (on your comment)
no me importa jijijijiji
I actually went to college with one of the devs for the pirates of the Caribbean mmo, he was use super passionate about bringing the game back to life
No way, that's awesome. You can tell the developers at the time had a lot of passion for it. Certainly an ambitious project for 2006
Back to life, how? You mean after the closure? If so, he or she would have had to comply with Disney's NDA agreement and this..."is" what keeps original developers from active participation (for the future).
Back in the day, my brother and I were big into Everquest. My little sister wanted to play with us, but she was too young. So mom tasked us with finding and MMO for her. We found Toontown and she was hooked.
Toontown Rewritten gave my wife and I a MMORPG bonding experience lol. We played a bit last year until we needed a larger party to raid the Cogs HQ.

The eerie feeling you had may have been amplified by the emptiness of the server, but it was kind of always like that, I think by design.

Not even close. Either you haven't played an actual AAA game or you are as terrible at joking as this UA-camr is.
Tera and Elyon are part of these who exist only under the form of private servers these days. Tera had fantastic combat for its time, while I remember Elyon mostly for its character creation and how you had the option of open-world player housing (albeit with rent)...
Menma's Tera is my most played game on the Steam Deck. Such a perfect game.
I'd love to hear you talk about Corporate Clash, which is another Toontown private server. They added a lot to the game, including 16 new bosses.
I remember playing Matrix Online, while the listening to an online DJ (through winamp) while dancing in the in game night clubs. They would make call outs and stuff and those clubs had close to 30 people just hanging out and talking. With endgame fashion of course... good, nerdy times. Thank you Waydot
Love that I saw ToonTown, my cousin and I have been having a good time on Corporate Clash and ReWritten!
I was a huge pirates online player back in the day, it was my first mmorpg
I love the recreation, as someone who played it when it was new they have done an AMAZING job!
fire videeoooo, you should do warhammer and dark age of camelot. True gems in my childhood.

I'm a little surprised you didn't check out Earth and Beyond in this video, hopefully you'll look at it in the future!
City of Heroes! this was my first MMO and man i miss it.
Homecoming private server, my friend
The “nefarious” actions going on in toon town 😂 you told that one….rabbit thin? It stank while it was giving the glug glug 4000
They should be forced to release source code like 15 years after the game dies completely. Books and Movies go into the public domain, why can't games??
When I was 10 I loved Pirates of the Caribbean Online haha. I can not believe they have a private server for it!! I MUST DOWNLOAD NOW!!
will you ever play fusion fall? the cartoon network MMO? i know there is a private server for it
Holy shit I forgot that existed
Did you try "Neo Steam" ? it was an old steampunk mmorpg.
for me it is Vanguard, it has really great ideas like diplomacy, great classes like bard who made his own spells, necromancer that designed his minions, best crafting ever, great fishing etc.
and as far as games never made, my biggest regret is Mythica from microsoft GS - it could have been great
Seriously! If you're reading this and never experienced Pirates Online, you need to check it out! This game was way ahead of it's time and kept me glued playing on my crappy Windows 2000 computer.
More please! City of heroes actually exists again, the ip holder formed agreement with the big private server network and it's legit now!

Man I used to play pirates online on dial up on my huge gray monitor for hours lol was a great time
please please do a pirates online deep dive. it is *such* a fun game, and the ship combat is crazy engaging for the time it was created. Sort of a precursor to Sea of thieves, in a way.

Endless online is a less known about rpg that just recently got og servers released might be worth checking out
Wildstar, iris online, battlefield heroes. Miss them very much

I remember the space one! And definitely true about the creeps😂 ha
Ahh man! I love the contents. Please keep it up!

Could you elaborate on the drama with IGG?

Billy Badbeard is probably the most comical character I've seen yet.. 🤣
The Matrix Online was my very first MMO. So nostalgic

You know Johnny Depp was found innocent
I remember adverts for Pirates Online back in the day and it looked fucking awesome

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is another one you should check out. I loved the unique classes it had, also it had some great music
What’s that game called at 1:12 ?? I’ve been trying to remember for so long
I highly doubt that kids are the one that's playing the modern Toontown.
Actual younger generation are too busy playing Roblox, Fortnite, or even mobile trash; Instead of a social, role-playing MMO game about some anthropomorphic animals that appeals to a certain "group" of people. You even experienced it firsthand 😂
PLEASE TRY TORAM ONLINE.. the game is so underrated but doesn't get much attention the story is so good
Who remembers Monkey Quest?
WildStar... That still hurts that it got shutdown :(
I think we all lost part of our soul that day
TLOPO is an awesome game i still play it to this day
Ill tell you one game im really sad shut down. Worlds Adrift, game was so fun to play just a chill game you could hop on with some friends and relax build a cool floating ship and explore.
Still have it in my steam library hoping they bring it back but there are other game devs making a game inspired by it think its called Nexus or something like that.
I miss PS2's everquest online adventures frontier
Toontown rewritten needs a deeper dive…
I agree
you forgot the Lego MMO "Lego Universe" :D
Wildstar was so epic i miss it :/
yall rember canaan online and fiesta online? my first mmo experiences because no or a very small download needed
I would love to try silkroad online, kal online, or Risk your life, loved those games back in the day. Hey, that pirate game is better than skull and bones 😅
Awesome video, for sure i wanna see more of it!
You need to play Phantasy Star Universe for this. Sega shut it down and a group rebuilt it. Great game. A bit directionless though.
Runescape 3 is a game i still play on a regular basis but there are tons of instances where I believe it's not actually a server but I am living in a simulation of one from 2013. lol
omgosh i remember not playing the matrix mmorpg because I thought it might take over my life and I wanted to play knights of the old republic and ended up not playing that either because it got delayed and fell into runescape 2 and it was like 20 years. lol
Silkroad online and Tibia MMO were good games. Tibia still online , and Silkroad has still some private servers
Bro Silk Road !!! Everytime I mention that game everyone just thinks of the black market lol
Pleasee if you do a second part of this, try Fusion Fall an MMO from CARTOON NERWORK!
should check out the progression of Dragon's Dogma Online Revival, since 2 is coming soon
TOONTOWN OMG Memory Unlocked
ugh i wish we'd get a modern matrix online
Anyone remember Last Chaos?
my brother used to be obsessed with lego universe lol
Star wars is set in the past and in a different galaxy.
"Awakened disciples" LMAO
Monster & Me, lol.
Plz try Monster Hunter Frontier Z and Need For Speed World
just leave a like here, mentioning hybrid theory.
My man
BRING TERA BACK!
I'm going to use squirt
I do anything to bring The Matrix Online back
14:42 he was guilty?
Holy shit hahaha i totally forgot about Toontown!
Hey waydot can you do a review on league of legends?
I mean probably not i dont particularly enjoy MOBAs. That being said Riot is working on an MMO so whenever that releases I will definitely dive into that world.
Got baited by wildstar in the thumbnail :(
The disappointment I felt when you played Toontown Rewritten and not Corporate Clash, is unmeasurable.
After trying out all these mmos, which ones you still playing actively?
As for these videos, im more just curiously checking in, however for my full review videos i tend to play the game quite consistently. Right now im playing a lot of elder scrolls online in my free time as well as some albion and BDO.
FFXI play online .... the bane of existence
Seriously. What a convoluted system. I gave up on that game quickly.
Star Wars Galaxies 😊
Hey waydot please try anarchy online the mmo which took over my child hood 😅
My dad keeps telling me to check this one out too, apparently he played it lots. I'm sure I'll look into it sometime soon!
Dragonica was awesome!
so you are team amber ?
No beard is probably the most bad of beards
Queen's Blade is gone it had smexy anime girls you played as and had to spend real money to get undies for them so they can have a stat boost yea it was pay to win f2p mmo
like, comment and scrubslide
A la siguiente prueba Dragon Dogma Online (Private Server). Capcom cerro los servidores oficiales.

See. Throwing something like "gruesome relationship" at a man who's been cleared by all the courts is fked and you know it.

Well, not all courts lol. He lost in the UK, and DARVO is routinely much more successful in the US courts. It’s actually pretty damning that he only won in the US and that it was via a DARVO strategy.

Try to avoid getting so easily triggered in the future ❄️❄️❄️
day 100 asking for city of heroes.
Cringe
Thanx for the clickbait. covering one game of the 4 shown in thumbnail.
i'm sorry but the way you talk and end your sentences kill me inside 😭😭

Such a good mechanics and game for its year, wish some company made a game with some of the features.
i loved that game, my brother dad and i would play it for hours everyday
I forgot about that game, that was a massive part of my pre-runescape childhood
lowkey black flags wishes their boat combat was as good as pirates of the Caribbean online
Isn't there P-Server for that game ? might as well support for it doesn't completely die .. hopefully someone brings back Wildstar, not my favorite but still was a unique MMORPG that didn't deserve too die.

Hellgate London might be a good game to look into for another video like this.
