Can you imagine how much of a rage kid that one guy must've been to have rerolled, named himself smirking revenge and undertaken the most arduous possible leveling path all to exact revenge upon rekcful and co, only to get hard outplayed and humiliated again.
The way he talks about becoming immersed in AC sounds exactly like the experience I had with EQ in 1999. I was in 6th grade and that game completely engulfed my mind inside it. The only difference is, my dad didnt let me play. So I never got that deep into it.
Same for me but for vanilla wow. I was 24 when it came out. Hit rank 14 and was popular for the first time in my life. Oh those were the days. Early days of mmos were just...magical.
That feeling of your very first MMO is definitely unforgettable. I grew up with shitty Internet as well, and I mainly played single-player games up until 2005 when I had my first MMO experience. This actually happened with WoW, and it was such an amazing memory exploring Elwynn Forest and Stormwind for the very first time. Great days gone.
19:29 it's true, even though Runescape classic didn't hold a candle to wow, I still enjoyed playing it more because it was my first and I just loved it so darn much. I had fun killing Goblins in Lumbridge for SEVENTEEN levels because I had no idea the game went beyond that castle. I still remember my first friend "El_Phil" level 37 (first time I'd been called a "noob) when I first met him and was so happy when I passed him in level and he praised me.
the old school mmos we’re so grindy and hardcore compare to any mmo after. Anyone can get the best gear and highest level in wow. but you actually had to work insanely hard to be the best in old games.
Oh god I remember those days. Me and 3 friends all played Ultima Online on the same 56k modem because it cost like a dollar per hour to be online back then. 20 years ago, time just flies by doesn't it? :D I actually found the game box at my parents place a couple days ago. That was a great game.
Hehe. Here in Sweden it was $2 per hour at daytime. $1 per hour after 6pm(18:00). I downloaded the entire Windows 2000 ISO from a Warez site and it took a few days and cost a ton of money.
Holy shit, I played AC on Morningthaw with Anti Parazi... I didn't know he was a streamer, its so crazy seeing this and hearing he passed.. I feel everything hes saying.. Cheers m8 Good pking with ya -Basiledes
what you explained at 7 minutes in is something we had in Maplestory, it was called a family though, and you got points that you could spend on certain stuff, like exp/drop buffs and teleporting to players/summoning them etc.. It's cool to see where it originated from though :P
You can try playing Gran Skrea Online. Its new game and have 'old school' graphics and is made by indie development team. Its still developing and patching and people should know about it. You lose items on death, farm life (farming, fishing, tailoring etc) and combat (archery, swordsmanship or whatever, forgot what they call it and etc) professions.... Just a new old school mmo. Also, no classes.
this is literally the meme of the old man telling the best story to his grandchild kinda scenario, its kinda awesome and sad that i can relate the story he is saying to the stories my grandpa used to tell when i was a kid, you start imagining stuff and not believing some stuff and yet you can't prove him right or wrong since the shit isn't the same anymore.. xD anyway love the uploads reckfull.
BushFyreYT I played with him in asherons call. The server we played on was called morningthaw. Reckful was the best sliding mage 🧙♀️ player killer. When I was playing he was always red “player killing mode”. He was damn good on our server.
Ya, nothing that Reckful said in this video was made up at all, he was legit the best ever and it's to an extent that nobody actually disputes it. He's one of the few carebears (people that played on non pk servers) that was respected on Darktide (the only pk server) because of his skill.
Legends of Aria is nearing the end of Closed Beta 2 and about to hit Steam Early Access and it has parts of this (leveling each skill, no classes etc). There is a stress test that is wide open on Aug 17, 2018.
accountsharing, boosting, letting someone else lvling his character. thats all stuff that can lead to a perma ban. He made alot of money with breaking the rules and Blizz dont like it if player make money with their game. Thats why bots won't get permabanned if they just farm form themselves, but they will if they find out that you're selling gold for $.
he boosted other people in arena and some viewers lvld his rogue and other chars multiple times, he cried all the time in the stream someone should lvl his char.
Yeah I remember I was around 10-11 and a friend of mine was playing Tibia (really bad looking game) and I said to him whats that crappy looking game you playing, he made me a character 1 week later I tought it was the best thing it ever happened in my life I still play (on and off) 13 years later
Oh yeah, those 1999 internet speeds were ridiculously slow. Being able to download stuff took days. Napster at the time would take you hours to get a song. AIM, ICQ, and AOL chat rooms... small nostalgia moments hearing Reckful talk about this.
Darkfall is like this but gear is a bit more plentiful. You dont lose things that took 8 months etc to get. But that rush is there. You'd love it. In fact alot of people that played AC play or have played darkfall.
Check out pokemon reloaded, fanmade pokemon game made by a spanish guy who had the same idea as Byron. And the project is so big that now its being translated to other languages
Pokken Tournament. It’s like mortal kombat with Pokémon. But it’d be cool if there was a story based game or whatever. There’s also Pokémon Ranger? Never played that but my friends did and you could play as a Pokémon saving other Pokémon
I started playing MMOs when I was 10 years old too xD (1999-2000) Ultima Online was my shit for like 2 years. Never played Asherons Call tho, sounds interesting
Shannon Yarnold - No, then it'd be completely dead because Blizzard would take a hot, steaming dump all over it much quicker than they're already going to.
@Reckful In "The Legend of Mir 2" (which was released in Europe in 2001) u could loose any of ur shit when u die. It was the most popular MMORPG in China in 2002 and 2003. I believe it had over 100 million players worldwide. Anyways I remember that a guy from China stabbed his brother to death because he wouldn't give him his sword (Sword of War God). After killing him, he sold the sword on e-bay for 5k euros. Ppl been dropping shit everyday it was crazy.
Rest in peace legend. Love the enthusiasm he showed for the things he loved
this is so mu fult
wek ud him thu
I love watching reckful when he's all enthusiastic.
yeah. me too. :(

His UA-cam videos are now part of my life every day I watch a lot of them I just can't imagine that he's dead...
Rest in peace reckful
Same
Rest in Peace Anti Parazi
Been trying to deal with depression lately and watching your videos is helping me feel better thanks for still making youtube videos Byron :)
that's so cringe.
@@jinxd511 Seriously fuck people like you
REST IN PEACE - I forgot he played Asheron's Call Darktide Server =(

Watching Reckful talk about Asheron's call brings back so many good memories I had playing this game back in the day.
When he drew the Ponzi Pyramid Scheme LMAO
Holy shit the thumbnail will give me eternal nightmares
Fuck that's my hair now hahaha
it really is a nightmare picture
More like eternal erections.
1:06 i really apreccitate the little times he was happy and laughing. his laugh was so adorable. :[ wish he was like that all of the time
the old school mmos we’re so grindy and hardcore compare to any mmo after. Anyone can get the best gear and highest level in wow. but you actually had to work insanely hard to be the best in old games.
that was actually a really interesting story
Man that story reminds me of my runescape days. Every time someone picked up the phone to make a call it would disconnect....good times.
RIP Legend. Fly high
Big RIP. He had a very similar life like me. I've struggled as well but I didn't give up. Don't give up
RIP reckful
Oh god I remember those days. Me and 3 friends all played Ultima Online on the same 56k modem because it cost like a dollar per hour to be online back then.
20 years ago, time just flies by doesn't it? :D
I actually found the game box at my parents place a couple days ago. That was a great game.

The whole time he’s saying there were only 3 I’m yelling tibia, then he googles it thank god.
Played so much tib back in the day
Reckful story time is best time
Holy shit, I played AC on Morningthaw with Anti Parazi... I didn't know he was a streamer, its so crazy seeing this and hearing he passed.. I feel everything hes saying..
Cheers m8
Good pking with ya

and fuck Smirking Revenge ;)
12:13 these Twitch dudes killing me hahaha "muscle memory" loved the vid my man.

I miss Oldschool grindy MMOs where a max level character was like a god. Silk Road Online was like this when it first came out
Jay Pond isn't bdo like that?
that class system sounds quite interesting
play archeage
The non-existent class system? It's all skill trees.
The no class class system
LongFist archeage in 2018 LUL
You can try playing Gran Skrea Online. Its new game and have 'old school' graphics and is made by indie development team. Its still developing and patching and people should know about it.

Anti paparazzi!
House of Supra - suprasword representing!
You were the bravest kid that I saw playing in pvp all the time! Moringingthaw!
can you explain what this means?
BushFyreYT I played with him in asherons call. The server we played on was called morningthaw. Reckful was the best sliding mage 🧙♀️ player killer. When I was playing he was always red “player killing mode”. He was damn good on our server.

What if Byron just bought the rights to "Asheron's Call", hire a team to remake it from the ground up and buy a server to run the game?
Love reckfuls random story and random notepad lol!
Legends of Aria is nearing the end of Closed Beta 2 and about to hit Steam Early Access and it has parts of this (leveling each skill, no classes etc). There is a stress test that is wide open on Aug 17, 2018.
So true. Nothing ever compares to your first MMO. Mine was Guild Wars (vanilla).
Everquest was so fuckin lit.. my god
"And he was fucking dead on the floor and I looted his corpse" Sounds so grim when you say it
I played Tibia for 10 years. When it was first out and until about 2005 it was grindy and fun as hell
so good to watch reckful on pc again
I always enjoy Reckful storytime Pog
rip, sill here watching his legacy
I still miss AC every day man. Every fucking day. Started when i was 14 (1999) played till WB shut down the servers.
He might still be here if it wasn't for Covid
i've thought that too
Ark gives you that feeling 100x
BLISSARD PLS UNBAN RECKFUR
no.
he broke so many rules. why should blizz unban him? lol unban my main too for botting.
accountsharing, boosting, letting someone else lvling his character. thats all stuff that can lead to a perma ban. He made alot of money with breaking the rules and Blizz dont like it if player make money with their game.

u really think he only played a pala once? xD u never watched im before, huh
Search for Reckful asherons call on youtube and you will see him play the game 2 years ago before the servers got shut down
reckfur had so much hair before he played wow
thats creepy. in the morning i watched his asherons call video from 2016 because i do love the video so much and now this video gets posted
Boy would he have liked hardcore wow now.
You helped me once in Qalabar. Of course saw you fighting over macroing spots too. Darktide, AC2, AC3... FeelsBadMan
Yeah I remember I was around 10-11 and a friend of mine was playing Tibia (really bad looking game) and I said to him whats that crappy looking game you playing, he made me a character 1 week later I tought it was the best thing it ever happened in my life I still play (on and off) 13 years later
Ashersons call was so good back in the day it was hella hard try leveling an archer lol
AC was my first MMO and I can relate to this on so many level's outside of being God-Tier like AP (Reckful)
Oh yeah, those 1999 internet speeds were ridiculously slow. Being able to download stuff took days. Napster at the time would take you hours to get a song. AIM, ICQ, and AOL chat rooms... small nostalgia moments hearing Reckful talk about this.
That feeling of being scared of getting killed for your valuable loot is what goes on today in 'Rust'.
no i didnt grow up with fast internet it needed 18 days to download WoW xD
it still take me 24 hour to download 2 gb haha
Adamantis 😭
Didn't they only sell physical copies back then..?
yeah but you still had to download it and dont forget updates
not really. you downloaded it through the discs, had nothing to do with internet :) updates are another story though.
Darkfall is like this but gear is a bit more plentiful. You dont lose things that took 8 months etc to get. But that rush is there. You'd love it. In fact alot of people that played AC play or have played darkfall.
Asheron's Call holy phuck. That brings memories. I was Eternal Mist on Solclaim.
The yearly story of Asheron's call
He explains so much but nothing of it sounds like fun xD but i love how invested he gets when he talks about this game^^
"Reckful's brother before he played WOW"
Tibia is like a 2d game. Its nothing like current MMO's
I miss Asheron's Call.. That game was the REAL pvp experience.
Not gonna lie, i was jebaited by the super mullet.
Nexus: Kingdom of the Wind came out in 1996. That was my first mmo.
The intrigued pepe's in the chat are amazing.
IMMA LINK MY TING FROM BARKING
Check out pokemon reloaded, fanmade pokemon game made by a spanish guy who had the same idea as Byron. And the project is so big that now its being translated to other languages
I love when he talks about AC
thank you for that story
You're so god damn entertaining =). You should start a podcast or something dude.
I also get more depressed thinking about how fun games used to be
That thumbnail OMEGALUL
my first mmo was adventure quest worlds and it was and flash mmo abd i have so much memories from it
Reckful becomes Kungen lmao.
We talk about games with sucha passion but isnt life the ultimate game?
I'm sad i missed such an amazing game and community, i hope similar game come out in the future
I played AC, that's why I love you so much. Literally only other person ik who has played. God bless
Miss you.
1:50 there is one for digimon and i remember a korean one for pokemon aswell, actually really fun for like 20-40 hours not more tho.
yo this game sounds amazing!! I wonder would they bounce back the idea when vr is officially in
19:28 True af.
Pokken Tournament. It’s like mortal kombat with Pokémon. But it’d be cool if there was a story based game or whatever. There’s also Pokémon Ranger? Never played that but my friends did and you could play as a Pokémon saving other Pokémon
lul reckful sounds like morty when he really gets into it.
66% chance is awesome lmao, i remember playing archeage having 2% chance of my wep not breaking OMEGALUL
or metin 2
account sharing since day 1 OMEGALUL
NexusTK was 1996. Still love you though Reckfur
im pretty sure there is already the same video on his channel + he plays that game
No wonder we all have anxiety...
I started playing MMOs when I was 10 years old too xD (1999-2000) Ultima Online was my shit for like 2 years. Never played Asherons Call tho, sounds interesting
My 1st and best mmo was final fantasy 11 so many memories
Loved Asheron's call....
This video is great! I can't wait for WoW Classic!
The fucking thumbnail 😂😂😂😂
dunno if you will read this but ascension wow(private server) is basically this :)
iceballkzld also kinda dead
wouldnt be if reckful mentions it tbh lol
only recently because of BFA, otherwise it's like a midpop server on retail
Shannon Yarnold - No, then it'd be completely dead because Blizzard would take a hot, steaming dump all over it much quicker than they're already going to.
@tucci06 true, if reckful did decide to play it'd be nice if he kept it on the down low, we wouldn't want what happened with soda and elysium
i remember aol dial-up lol having to disconnect our phone line and plug it in our router
@Reckful In "The Legend of Mir 2" (which was released in Europe in 2001) u could loose any of ur shit when u die. It was the most popular MMORPG in China in 2002 and 2003.

Reckful i miss you so much :(
dude 2 years ago i had 15kbs connection and i thought that it was normal that lasted me over 5 years
thats me on 15:49 shendj Pog
There is a game very similar to what you described, Lineage 2.
