You truly can’t beat the community on fiesta.. I also never found the same friendliness and overall fun vibe in another mmo quite like fiesta. I’ve played since 08/09 and I still have friends I talked to all the time from it. I’ll never not hold this game in a special place in my heart.
gonna say it now, ur video is the reason why i'm coming back to fiesta, literally this game was the first real mmorpg i've ever enjoyed in my life and probably is still my favorite till this day
I'm also playing from 2008 (basically non-stop to this date), and I tried to leave sometimes, to find a better game, but it's just impossible, fiesta is the best for me, but at the same time (no offense) is shit
I cant express what this game means to me. It was more than a game it was an escape from alot of stress in my real life. but nonetheless the friends i made in this game the expierences i had, men i would not trade it for anything it still and i think will forever mean the world to me knowing i made so many friends in this game that i still call my friends today. I hope that anyone who reads this can relate and if you read this take care of yourself much love from a random german guy
@@agav2345 So accurate maaaan, we feeling the same way. I don't know how, but the game it's just different from others, unique. Brings me back so many good memories, thank you for the comment ❤️
I used to play when it was "good?" when Outspark owned it. After it was bought out by Gamigo and ruined, I started playing private servers, and those are even dying now. So sad to watch a game you love completely die. Might reinstall for some nostalgia.
@@striffee1542 Charms are still a thing, Except 50% charms now have a chance to drop from some mobs and some charms in the store can only be bought once a week. For outfits still around as well.
Thanks for making a video, it's honestly so nice to see Fiesta alive and thriving and with relevant youtube content! Ive been off and on since launch! but since building my gaming pc and getting my monitor I can sense another big wave of it! still haven't made it past 100x on any chars and I need to see further game content. Still want to build and knight from scratch, and build my Wiz up from 100!
I first started playing Fiesta in 2007, and pretty much just check in every so often to see how it's doing. The nostalgia is really the only thing left in Fiesta for me, the community back in the old days was much better than it is now.
My dad use to be the head of one of the most powerful guilds called "Venom" back in 2008-2010ish lol. I was just a mere lvl 30 cleric with +9 gear that my dad made for me lol
This is my childhood game, used to play it as well each day after I was done with school, lol. Had so much fun back then, I do agree that ever since Gamigo took over Fiesta has changed, but still had big amount of players. Overall I remember playing Fiesta Online atleast 3~4 times because I played it, took a break but always had passion to play it again, well until I was busy with other stuff IRL. I played a very long time on Selesnia Online btw, one of the best private servers of Fiesta Online back then and had a huge fun there too. One of the best things I loved about Fiesta is socializing through quests, parties and especially KQ's. How's the KQ's doing these days? Still popular and fun to play?
KQs are active, While leveling 1-80 i did all the KQs except for goldhill ( which im sad because that's the KQ i did the most back in the day i'll do it one day) which helped with leveling and meeting new friends after being brand new and just fun overall.
sirens Likewise. Something about making perms was more fun to me than capping. I was also a 56 perm since for some reason 4x was the only active abyss aside from 6x. I remember getting into wars with people at times because they were charming up and then lying about it lol. Sirens was basically unkillable, his gear was godlike.
I've always wanted to go back playing this game. Started playing in 2008 and quitted many times already. I just miss the old fiesta game way back then. Ohhh memories, especially the old roumen bg music.
I’ve been wanting to play this again and I’m glad to hear people still play it. Hell I remember just standing in Elderine and lots of cool conversations come up.
I started playing in around 2009. I’ve never quit the game, just took long breaks until i found a server i could play on. This game got on my heart so much i can’t quit it.For real.
I still play this game and uhhh it's an on and off thing. When I start to play it every 2-3 months I just love it. After a while (i only play solo) I am so done cause I'm leveling so slow. But with friends.. Come on, it's is pure nostalgia and fun. Btw i played it from the beginning and I am 29 now xD
I play non stop since 2007, tried other similar games but overall this is the best MMO ever, in all those years I never got tired of it: the social aspect is the most important to me, but the graphics and the overall environment are still lovely/cute after all this time, the music is great, despite I always have it turned off - annoying after some time - and only listen when not playing (you can copy the MP3s and WAVs from the "ressound" folder, then delete the non music ones). Also you can spend as little as nothing or a lot of money on it and, of course, there are annoying things, but overall its still a great way of spending some free time
haha i used to play 2008-2010 and now after 10 years downloaded again, i did 62 level mage back in the 2009 and i felt like master haha, now its nothing but I enjoy it. Good luck
I used to love this game, played for close to 10 years. I loved the community on it and how the combat actually felt like combat. I tried it again a few months ago and realised it was only the community that made it
Im about to try it again. I played back in 09 before I graduated high school. I didnt get to play much back then because I didn't have internet. Glad it still has a community!
I started playing Fiesta when I was 39 and now I'm 52. I have spent a lot of money and time leveling up chars in this game and love is still to today for the chat aspect. Now that doesn't mean there are always mature people to talk to but for the most part there are. My biggest beef is that Gamigo claims they cant do a server transfer for all my stuck chars on Pagel when I know they can but they lie to us and for that I have zero respect for the GMs and Gamigo as a company. There has been 2 other massive server transfers before now then one that was a quiet 1 day one about 4 years ago when all my chars got stuck back on Pagel. I know of 100s of players that have their whole life lost on Pagel and Gamigo refuses to do anything. Any time I have brought it up on the Discord group I got kicked out of the group by a SGM and they didn't want to hear me talk and they didn't want me to stir things up and get the people and players on my side. Same thing goes for the Forums. I voiced my opinion and BAMM I was kicked off on multiple accounts. I have been banned on a account for speaking my mind about it in game. I bought ROARS and they turned off my ability to ROAR. I was put on perm cool down and cant even use my ROARS. Talk about censorship. If Gamigo doesn't want you to talk about something they have many tools at their disposal to shut you up fast. I am originally from Epith but was transfered to Pagel they got stuck there on 7 capped chars and at least 50 other fully geared up perm chars. This game could be so amazing if Gamigo would open up the servers and they would make tons of money because of the old chars players would want to unbind gears and weapons and also bring back many many many old players but Gamigo is stupid and doesn't realize they are missing out on a FORTUNE!! And if they would hire a new Content developer and art developer and make some new skins auras gear effects story content and update the Game engine to something fresh but the dont see the big picture and sit back and pull in their small gains that could be 10X bigger if they would truly listen to the player base. I dont think it will ever happen and I have given up on trying. But I still login everyday looking for cool new perm shit to buy for my chars and new people to meet. Maybe someday....also its not just my gems and gears and weapons stuck on Pagel, its my cool old content like Old skins and perm suits and old rare weapons that this game doesnt offer and more. I have some perm suits that offer up perm crit 3% and crowns with 20+ stats perm and many other things that are 100% totally dead on Pagel. Thanks a lot Gamigo!!
I'd love to get back into the game, but I just feasibly cannot. I quit in 2011, maybe 2012, when silver was still the main currency used. If you were buying or selling anything for gold, it had to be the top of the top stuff. T3 scrolls were a few silver a pop, and T4's were 10s max. Not many people had highly upgraded gear, and it certainly wasn't a necessity. Yet, when I came back to the game again in 2015 or 2016, everything was being sold for gold. Scrolls were gold. NON-UPGRADED gear was sold for gold. Generic boss drops that would've been a few hundred silver at most back in the day, were sold for gold--etc etc. I have like 4 gold that I've had saved up since before I quit. Everyone but me has +9's and 10's, and so if I did try partying with someone I wouldn't be able to keep up. My main is supposed to be a tank but I'm basically a paper weight when everyone else has fully upgraded gear, so. . . I'm SOL. Shit outta luck. I just want to go to Bera. That was my dream back in middle school and early highschool (2008, 2009). I saw some screenshots of Bera on UA-cam, and was able to find the music in my game folder. I was really looking forward to it--but it never released during all the years I played, and so I thought the NA server wasn't going to get it. I logged on for a minute a few months ago and saw it on the map. I'd very much like to get there, but it'd be WAY too much of a slog trying to level up on my own--So I don't think I'll ever realize that old dream 13 year old me had 11 years ago. Even if I can't play it anymore, I'm happy to see its still alive. You're right, the music in this game IS God Tier. 11 years now I've listened to taht OST, and I still ain't tired of it.
I totally understand a lot of the points you have made, I started fresh on Isya, No gems, no leveled up characters, no friends. All i had was my knowledge of the game and the experience i had playing all those years and i'm not sure if i should be but i'm proud to say i'm fully +10 at lvl76 with 15G (which is not much but it's something) to spare for the next levels and of course a lot of friends i have made so far. I have spent 0 dollars except the SC i had in my bag and the sc on the account. If you EVER decide to play please feel free to add me my IGN: Ranked. I would definitely try to help in any way i could.
ive been playing since the beta :) ive met alot of good friends in the game, and many of us still play together. those that dont, i still keep in touch with pretty often
Never really got yo play the game, I remember around 2009/2011. I played it on my cousins computer and I absolutely loved it, time went on and I found it on steam back in 2019.I remember some small details like the mushroom houses or killing the crabs, but nothing seemed familiar for me. Never actually tried it because to me, dying games are depressing to see, everyone wants to play a game in it’s prime, then come back a couple years later to the memories you made.
First time I ever played was in 2010 and I'm still playing now, I was never addicted and I've had many breaks but the game is simply one of a kind (which I think are big factors of why I'm still playing lol). I've never tried and don't want to try any other MMORPGs because I'm almost certain that they won't be able to keep up with Fiesta for me. Just like you said: There are many downsides, most of which connected to the pay to win system, yet this is still overshadowed by one of the most important factors of Fiesta: The social aspect. It's not even necessarily being in groups and guilds yourself all the time, having a few friends and seeing other people doing quests, chilling at different places, trading and chatting or doing a KQ with random people is just such a nice experience which I doubt any other game could give me. I've met lots of cool people, some of which I know on a personal level nowadays. In Fiesta the thing I like doing the most are probably KQs, I've never leveled higher than lv 129 (Gladiator) though, mainly because it really is a stale experience at those levels and the pay to win factor is way too big, with every level closer to 135 it gets worse and I'm almost fully free to play, I barely ever spend money on the game so I'm generally at a disadvantage, but if you play for fun it's not too much of an issue, still I enjoy the game the most below level 100 (currently) lol. The server I play on is very active, like old Fiesta, all the other ones are dead though. I wish the devs were trying harder to try and put the game back into the spotlight but that would require (regular!) decent updates, which there haven't been any in YEARS (!!). Like imagine a new class (monk?), map and other revamps, new mobs and quest systems, make it less pay2win (etc.), I know it's very unlikely to ever happen (before the game meets it's end) but hope dies last.
you started 2008 and all the way till 2016 without rage quitting inbetween? i salute to you because i rage quitted TONS of times but always went back LOL welp its been a good few years I've stopped, and i do agree to what you say about finding other games out there. Same like you i've tried a lot of other mmos and hell their combat system and skills and classes are so so much better and smoother than fiesta. And I'm a gamer who looks for really smooth combat and skills, and of course, balanced classes. But you're right, it's hard to actually blend into their community, and idk why lol. I really don't know if i should try going back to fiesta like you did, especially since due to the covid going on now, i've got tons of time on hand lol. But then again, my fears of toxic community and unbalanced classes...... @-@
I quit every so often and come back to the game i cant fully quit this game been playing sense about 2006 legit i can never find a game like this ive played a few other mmorpg but they dont click like when i first played this
I've played this game from its day 1 until around 2009, then came back in 2011, but couldn't find the same people I was playing with before, so I ended dropping out as well. Plus, I've started on NA servers and now they wanted EU players to play on EU servers, which for me was a no-no, after spending so much time and money in the original NA game. I've recently restarted playing on the NA servers (funny thing is EU servers got closed in the meantime - don't the EU players feel a bit robbed?) and I'm enjoying the game so far. The leveling is not that taxing as it was before and I find the cash shop cheaper, however there is a booming inflation in game. Back in the day people didn't have GEMs, but now you see even poor stat items being sold for gems. For a returning player that had only few gold in the pocket, that was a big shock.
it was my first MMO experience. It was a good game. But when i experienced PVP with pay to win + frustration of missing uprading at lvl 75 with my magus i quit the game. I played from 2011 to 2014. I tried to come back on 2019 but nope graphics are too old for me. I keep good feelings on it but i'm unable to play MMO like this. I tried tera online which is good too but farming is boring for me now. If upgrading his equipement was easier and free maybe i'll try again one day.
Hey man, i just wanted to say thank you! this is a really great video and inspired me to make my own! I hope you will get the attention your quallity deserves!
I've stopped playing and came back a year or half a year later, a lot of times. Something about this game that just makes me not want to leave it inside a box of childhood toys.
Bro.. this was my childhood game as well. I have spend thousands of hours and I hate to say it but dollars on this game too. I’ve recently rejoined as well we are on the same server actually. I have friends that play the game now and it’s honestly super populated and I never thought it would be like that again. I’m doing the same thing as you and enjoying the game instead of grinding to cap. We should play sometime. You can find me on discord and we could grind the hell out of this and make content. Your channel could blow up who knows
Fiesta online was the first mmo I ever played, probably back in 2008 if not earlier. Didn't hold me that long, but I tried it again today out of nostalgia and had a great two-three hours of fun just doing the early game and finding a person to try KQ with (with buffs from their guild, but still)
I totally agree with you, MMORPGs seems to be running in circles nowadays so I tried some old MMO I used to love, and some on private servers, at first the nostalgia and the feelings are awesome but then you end up alone, just questing and leveling without any interactions because everybody is grinding and tryharding on his own path, then I remember playing a bit of Fiesta like 1 year in total, I was low level but enjoyed the community (French as I am ofc) and the cool universe, you really hyped me I'll see if the community is still numerous and helpful/talkative or not, great memories with this game I'll check this out
@@RankOneOnly Just checked a bit after I putted this comment, like on French UA-cam videos and forums apparently the game is dead, there's like 100 players or even less and like 1 or 2 GMs connected once a week, dunno if it's worth to check by myself, I used to do it myself for some games but usually I just waste time downloading and uninstalling the game....
This was my childhood game too, all the reasons you listed is how I feel about other games too. Im always talking, helping out others or socializing in this game. In final fantasy, I did not talk to a single person and It felt like a single player game. At least in fiesta, I can be cocky and destroy people in pvp and show off how powerful I am. Also people would respect me for it.
I started playing in 2007, on and off until 2015. There's plenty to be said about it, but one of the main things that got me out of the game was the inflation on the prices, I got nostalgic a few weeks ago and installed only to find it got even worse. Still, it had one of the best communities I've seen in a game, that's what made me play it for so long
dude this game was my absolute shit as a kid! me and my childhood friends spent many hours on this, i remember grinding exp in that one tower where you face waves of enemies, that of which i cant remember the name of or where it is lmao. it's been too long lol
i left fiesta online 6 years ago and have been missing it ever since tryed a lot of other mmos but i just came back to fiesta agian because of nostalgia as well
I used to play first as a young teen. It was one of my first MMOs it will always stay in my heart. I play final fantasy 14. It is the only fame to give me the same feels as fiesta.
This was my first mmo and it holds a lot of nostalgia for me, but Fiesta doesn't hold a candle to the social aspects of FF14(The golden saucer, chilling in cities, player events, player concerts) a game that also respects your time (rare for mmos). A lot of people still on this game are being held hostage by the emotion they feel for it.
I'm more recent coming back to fiesta and it was a nostalgia hit for me. I remember when the kingdom quests would fill almost immediately and it was exciting to participate in one. But in 2021 seems no ones doing them, I assume high level ones are being done since I only see high level players just chilling around. I'm currently trying to reach 60, since I lost my old account with a level 45 cleric. But im enjoying it, even if it's a bit slow at times to level up.
On 'lower' levels people do Lost Mini Dragon Hardcore because they can farm yellow gear. Once you reach level 70, King Kong Phinofly Kingdom Quest should have enough people all times. Gets even better from 90. I leveled a mage few months ago and in my experience, low level zones are empty because before level 60 people can turn quest without coming back to a city. Mixed with the fact there's a lot of vets leveling alts and they grind abyss or get boosted, they know what to do so doing Izyel tower or low level KQs is pointless because they level quick. When you're around lvl 50 you start find more people on Collapsed Prision, Goblin Camp and so on, Uruga has people on queue sometimes for a repeteable quest. I have a love/hate relationship with the game and the P2W direction after lvl 100 or lower depending on class but i still comeback.
Its true fiesta online have One of the must fun comunity ever! I play a lot of MMO and fiesta continues to be the most fun Its true its very pay to win but the game have a great game balance
Glad to hear it’s still a game with a lot of players :) Personally, I am fully invested in FFXIV now and don’t think I ever played an amazing mmorpg as FFXIV. With the current content I’m on and the friends I had made it’s hard to go back to Fiesta for me now. Hope the game is still doing great :)
I played this for years and all the time but I hated leveling my beta character got at the max lvl was 16 xD, my after beta characters highest level before I went on hiatus was 28. Bc my friends forced me to level lol.
I thought about returning, but I literally only have WiFi on Friday and Saturday nights, the connection issues on mobile data is genuinely still a deal breaker. Plus, I’m away from home a lot, so bought a handheld console instead
I’ve been playing since 2009 and have been on and off since then. It’s my off year today LMAO Got me a cap char ready for cap raise already. It’s always the community that’s nice here. People you meet while doing quests etc. Always have been my only vice in life. It’s very addicting! 😂 To people who wanna play again, you should give it a try! It’s not f2p but you can be f2p (if that makes sense)
omg this is so nostalgic to me, I started playing this game when I was 15 I'm 28 now and the last time I went back to it was 2 yrs ago and I'm thinking on signing in again and see whats up. I did find since they divided the the servers it kind of suck I couldn't play with the people from other countries and that was sad for me lol... also felt like things got more expensive in the game and for some reason I find if hard to find new people that wants to play the game together. Kindomg quest were my fav thing to do with my group but for some reason last time I played nobody seem to do them... maybe I will download it again and hopefully its better :) my highest character is a cleric and also had an archer character.
Im about to program a mmorpg and try to get the same vibe like fiesta online, should it ever be finished it will be free to play with no p2w, fiesta was the best mmo for me but for me its no more worth playing it because the most of the german servers are empty
I fell out of it for a year or 2 and tried to come back but it was so dead, so I didn't try it again for 4 or 5 years now, but I'm thinking of giving it a try again
i played this game from almost the start for 4 yrs,i quit after the 105 cap,i got to talk to alot of great friends,i started playing again,a few months ago,but starting all over again,is just ugh,its expensive, so i stopped again,but i so loved fiesta
@@RankOneOnly That's nice man, hope u can enjoy it, it's just the more u get involved with everything in the game is when you realize fiesta isn't that well managed staff wise, updates wise. but don't let me ruin it for you, the nostalgia is the reason most people play
I've stopped playing right after they lifted the lv89 cap and explored TOS, gotten myself to lv90 and stopped. Went back to check out recently and the KQs is never filled, never. It's sad
Dang looking at these comments makes me so happy to see the lack of toxicity that you just see nowdays. I hope the game is just as friendly from I had to leave in 2013 :)
Yea. I'm debating about coming back myself. I am thinking about coming back too. Problem is that one character is on Isya and the other is on Pagel and I would rather be on my cleric that is on Pagel, yet there's hardly anyone on that server.
Yeah unfortunately i was on the same boat. My lvl10 Gladiator and lvl115 Warlock are on Pagel but Isya is so populated that i decided to start over there.
Honestly, FF14's community is quite social. Albeit, most conversations happened in linkshells and free companies. But, it is very, very social. And it only feels like a single player game if you choose to play it that way. You have to nake an effort to go out of your way to meet people.
I've tried many other mmorpgs, but it's Fiesta that I continue to uninstall/install. I don't know what it is about this game that makes me treat it like a toxic girlfriend.
I remember playing this wheni was a kid lol I still love this game but don't want to start over a lvl 86 mage with godly gear set for 90 I just lost so much but tempting to come back when my PC gets delivered noob grounds roumen elderine tower of iyzel was super crowded them were the days and the pvp Kingdom quest
That's how i have been doing it, I used to try to level up extremely fast to get to cap but it would just burned me out. This time around i'm taking my time and just hanging with friends in game, It has been such a better exeprience.
i went looking for another anime mmo with the same charm and there just isnt one. Even with the absolutely awful weapon upgrade system, its still not enough to deter away from whats good about the game. I just wish there was more players now.
Ive recently started playing again too but had to start over again . Ive found it hard to sell pots or scrolls etc so making in game money im struggling with so buying gear is getting hard to do let alone enhanced gear any tips for making gems? Ive litrally sat all day in a vendor selling hp pots didnt sell a single one n i was cheapest in the area of vendors next to me i feel like if i cant make gems soon i wont be able to play 🙈
Dude this was my childhood game. I used to stay up till the birds were chirping. It'll always have a place in my heart.
I legit played this when I was 6 years old, I just had no idea how I was able to process doing the quests
@@raymond2136 Those quests would get dumb convoluted sometimes and if you had to travel long distance without a mount, it was over 😭
You truly can’t beat the community on fiesta.. I also never found the same friendliness and overall fun vibe in another mmo quite like fiesta. I’ve played since 08/09 and I still have friends I talked to all the time from it. I’ll never not hold this game in a special place in my heart.
I wish I hadn't lost contact to all the people I met there.
gonna say it now, ur video is the reason why i'm coming back to fiesta, literally this game was the first real mmorpg i've ever enjoyed in my life and probably is still my favorite till this day
And ur are so cute. God bless u.
That's awesome to hear thank you!!! I hope you're having fun!
Let's play? I'm about to download the game again n
Same!
I'm also playing from 2008 (basically non-stop to this date), and I tried to leave sometimes, to find a better game, but it's just impossible, fiesta is the best for me, but at the same time (no offense) is shit
No offense taken at all, Fiesta definitely has issues.
Same here
same here, i totaly agree, the game has issues but i still love it

@@striffee1542 Charms are still a thing, Except 50% charms now have a chance to drop from some mobs and some charms in the store can only be bought once a week. For outfits still around as well.
@@striffee1542 strawhaaaat
Fiesta Online has changed a lot over the years. It's way easier to gain levels now. They finally changed things. It's pretty playable now :)
Thanks for making a video, it's honestly so nice to see Fiesta alive and thriving and with relevant youtube content! Ive been off and on since launch! but since building my gaming pc and getting my monitor I can sense another big wave of it! still haven't made it past 100x on any chars and I need to see further game content. Still want to build and knight from scratch, and build my Wiz up from 100!
Also, Ive been playing off and on since middle school. I'm 24 now so.. it's super cool to see that I wasn't the only one! so glad to see a resurgence!
omg tell me about it, the enhacing is SUCH BS
Nice
I first started playing Fiesta in 2007, and pretty much just check in every so often to see how it's doing. The nostalgia is really the only thing left in Fiesta for me, the community back in the old days was much better than it is now.
My dad use to be the head of one of the most powerful guilds called "Venom" back in 2008-2010ish lol. I was just a mere lvl 30 cleric with +9 gear that my dad made for me lol
That’s so goals 🥲
GunZ: The Duel and Fiesta Online were bangers.
This is my childhood game, used to play it as well each day after I was done with school, lol.
Had so much fun back then, I do agree that ever since Gamigo took over Fiesta has changed, but still had big amount of players.
Overall I remember playing Fiesta Online atleast 3~4 times because I played it, took a break but always had passion to play it again, well until I was busy with other stuff IRL.
I played a very long time on Selesnia Online btw, one of the best private servers of Fiesta Online back then and had a huge fun there too.
One of the best things I loved about Fiesta is socializing through quests, parties and especially KQ's. How's the KQ's doing these days? Still popular and fun to play?
KQs are active, While leveling 1-80 i did all the KQs except for goldhill ( which im sad because that's the KQ i did the most back in the day i'll do it one day) which helped with leveling and meeting new friends after being brand new and just fun overall.
sirens Likewise. Something about making perms was more fun to me than capping. I was also a 56 perm since for some reason 4x was the only active abyss aside from 6x. I remember getting into wars with people at times because they were charming up and then lying about it lol. Sirens was basically unkillable, his gear was godlike.
This game was my childhood.
Def gonna play my old character again...

hey guys im from argentina i played in outspark fiesta when i was a kid had so much fun, the greatest game i ever played, had so much fun!
Yo también!!! Jugaba en Bijou, tenia un mago 90
@@NicolasQMartin tambien, mago lvl 90 xD
I've always wanted to go back playing this game. Started playing in 2008 and quitted many times already. I just miss the old fiesta game way back then. Ohhh memories, especially the old roumen bg music.
Give it a try man! If you don't like it you can always drop it.
I’ve been wanting to play this again and I’m glad to hear people still play it. Hell I remember just standing in Elderine and lots of cool conversations come up.
I remember the same thing and surprisingly it still happens.
I started playing in around 2009. I’ve never quit the game, just took long breaks until i found a server i could play on. This game got on my heart so much i can’t quit it.For real.
I'm on the same boat, When i thought i was done with the game i end up coming back.
RankOneOnly i want to start playing the official game again. Can you tell me about those shiny mobs?
I still play this game and uhhh it's an on and off thing. When I start to play it every 2-3 months I just love it. After a while (i only play solo) I am so done cause I'm leveling so slow. But with friends.. Come on, it's is pure nostalgia and fun. Btw i played it from the beginning and I am 29 now xD
I think you got it right on the nail.
I play non stop since 2007, tried other similar games but overall this is the best MMO ever, in all those years I never got tired of it: the social aspect is the most important to me, but the graphics and the overall environment are still lovely/cute after all this time, the music is great, despite I always have it turned off - annoying after some time - and only listen when not playing (you can copy the MP3s and WAVs from the "ressound" folder, then delete the non music ones). Also you can spend as little as nothing or a lot of money on it and, of course, there are annoying things, but overall its still a great way of spending some free time
King Slimes Counter attack was my favorite mob dungeon on this game.
haha i used to play 2008-2010 and now after 10 years downloaded again, i did 62 level mage back in the 2009 and i felt like master haha, now its nothing but I enjoy it. Good luck
same here im download it at the moment i played 2007 and stoped at 2015 so im glad to come back to the game
That's good to hear hopefully i'll see you around
Legit just came back to the game as well! It’s so nice to see people and it reasonably populated again!! Fiesta is back! For me at least haha
I used to love this game, played for close to 10 years. I loved the community on it and how the combat actually felt like combat. I tried it again a few months ago and realised it was only the community that made it
Im about to try it again. I played back in 09 before I graduated high school. I didnt get to play much back then because I didn't have internet. Glad it still has a community!
I started playing Fiesta when I was 39 and now I'm 52. I have spent a lot of money and time leveling up chars in this game and love is still to today for the chat aspect. Now that doesn't mean there are always mature people to talk to but for the most part there are. My biggest beef is that Gamigo claims they cant do a server transfer for all my stuck chars on Pagel when I know they can but they lie to us and for that I have zero respect for the GMs and Gamigo as a company. There has been 2 other massive server transfers before now then one that was a quiet 1 day one about 4 years ago when all my chars got stuck back on Pagel. I know of 100s of players that have their whole life lost on Pagel and Gamigo refuses to do anything. Any time I have brought it up on the Discord group I got kicked out of the group by a SGM and they didn't want to hear me talk and they didn't want me to stir things up and get the people and players on my side. Same thing goes for the Forums. I voiced my opinion and BAMM I was kicked off on multiple accounts. I have been banned on a account for speaking my mind about it in game. I bought ROARS and they turned off my ability to ROAR. I was put on perm cool down and cant even use my ROARS. Talk about censorship. If Gamigo doesn't want you to talk about something they have many tools at their disposal to shut you up fast. I am originally from Epith but was transfered to Pagel they got stuck there on 7 capped chars and at least 50 other fully geared up perm chars. This game could be so amazing if Gamigo would open up the servers and they would make tons of money because of the old chars players would want to unbind gears and weapons and also bring back many many many old players but Gamigo is stupid and doesn't realize they are missing out on a FORTUNE!! And if they would hire a new Content developer and art developer and make some new skins auras gear effects story content and update the Game engine to something fresh but the dont see the big picture and sit back and pull in their small gains that could be 10X bigger if they would truly listen to the player base. I dont think it will ever happen and I have given up on trying. But I still login everyday looking for cool new perm shit to buy for my chars and new people to meet. Maybe someday....also its not just my gems and gears and weapons stuck on Pagel, its my cool old content like Old skins and perm suits and old rare weapons that this game doesnt offer and more. I have some perm suits that offer up perm crit 3% and crowns with 20+ stats perm and many other things that are 100% totally dead on Pagel. Thanks a lot Gamigo!!
fck gamigo.
Just started again after a 10-year hiatus. I started in 2006 - 2010, feels weird, lol.
I'd love to get back into the game, but I just feasibly cannot. I quit in 2011, maybe 2012, when silver was still the main currency used. If you were buying or selling anything for gold, it had to be the top of the top stuff. T3 scrolls were a few silver a pop, and T4's were 10s max. Not many people had highly upgraded gear, and it certainly wasn't a necessity.
Yet, when I came back to the game again in 2015 or 2016, everything was being sold for gold. Scrolls were gold. NON-UPGRADED gear was sold for gold. Generic boss drops that would've been a few hundred silver at most back in the day, were sold for gold--etc etc.
I have like 4 gold that I've had saved up since before I quit. Everyone but me has +9's and 10's, and so if I did try partying with someone I wouldn't be able to keep up. My main is supposed to be a tank but I'm basically a paper weight when everyone else has fully upgraded gear, so. . . I'm SOL. Shit outta luck.
I just want to go to Bera. That was my dream back in middle school and early highschool (2008, 2009). I saw some screenshots of Bera on UA-cam, and was able to find the music in my game folder. I was really looking forward to it--but it never released during all the years I played, and so I thought the NA server wasn't going to get it. I logged on for a minute a few months ago and saw it on the map. I'd very much like to get there, but it'd be WAY too much of a slog trying to level up on my own--So I don't think I'll ever realize that old dream 13 year old me had 11 years ago.
Even if I can't play it anymore, I'm happy to see its still alive. You're right, the music in this game IS God Tier. 11 years now I've listened to taht OST, and I still ain't tired of it.
I totally understand a lot of the points you have made, I started fresh on Isya, No gems, no leveled up characters, no friends. All i had was my knowledge of the game and the experience i had playing all those years and i'm not sure if i should be but i'm proud to say i'm fully +10 at lvl76 with 15G (which is not much but it's something) to spare for the next levels and of course a lot of friends i have made so far. I have spent 0 dollars except the SC i had in my bag and the sc on the account. If you EVER decide to play please feel free to add me my IGN: Ranked. I would definitely try to help in any way i could.
@@RankOneOnly Oh man, I have seen you playing alot in KQs, but I think you've seen me alot too as a cleric player: Ninkoro
@@PapaTaric I think i have seen you around as well haha
@@RankOneOnly Yeah, yesterday in Henneth KQ
@@PapaTaric Yeah xD I have been spamming that
ive been playing since the beta :) ive met alot of good friends in the game, and many of us still play together. those that dont, i still keep in touch with pretty often
That's awesome i'm glad to hear that
What’s your username?
Bro I agree the social aspect of fiesta online is amazing!!!
Never really got yo play the game, I remember around 2009/2011. I played it on my cousins computer and I absolutely loved it, time went on and I found it on steam back in 2019.I remember some small details like the mushroom houses or killing the crabs, but nothing seemed familiar for me. Never actually tried it because to me, dying games are depressing to see, everyone wants to play a game in it’s prime, then come back a couple years later to the memories you made.
First time I ever played was in 2010 and I'm still playing now, I was never addicted and I've had many breaks but the game is simply one of a kind (which I think are big factors of why I'm still playing lol). I've never tried and don't want to try any other MMORPGs because I'm almost certain that they won't be able to keep up with Fiesta for me.
Just like you said: There are many downsides, most of which connected to the pay to win system, yet this is still overshadowed by one of the most important factors of Fiesta: The social aspect. It's not even necessarily being in groups and guilds yourself all the time, having a few friends and seeing other people doing quests, chilling at different places, trading and chatting or doing a KQ with random people is just such a nice experience which I doubt any other game could give me.
I've met lots of cool people, some of which I know on a personal level nowadays. In Fiesta the thing I like doing the most are probably KQs, I've never leveled higher than lv 129 (Gladiator) though, mainly because it really is a stale experience at those levels and the pay to win factor is way too big, with every level closer to 135 it gets worse and I'm almost fully free to play, I barely ever spend money on the game so I'm generally at a disadvantage, but if you play for fun it's not too much of an issue, still I enjoy the game the most below level 100 (currently) lol. The server I play on is very active, like old Fiesta, all the other ones are dead though. I wish the devs were trying harder to try and put the game back into the spotlight but that would require (regular!) decent updates, which there haven't been any in YEARS (!!). Like imagine a new class (monk?), map and other revamps, new mobs and quest systems, make it less pay2win (etc.), I know it's very unlikely to ever happen (before the game meets it's end) but hope dies last.
you started 2008 and all the way till 2016 without rage quitting inbetween? i salute to you because i rage quitted TONS of times but always went back LOL welp its been a good few years I've stopped, and i do agree to what you say about finding other games out there. Same like you i've tried a lot of other mmos and hell their combat system and skills and classes are so so much better and smoother than fiesta. And I'm a gamer who looks for really smooth combat and skills, and of course, balanced classes. But you're right, it's hard to actually blend into their community, and idk why lol.
I really don't know if i should try going back to fiesta like you did, especially since due to the covid going on now, i've got tons of time on hand lol. But then again, my fears of toxic community and unbalanced classes...... @-@
I quit every so often and come back to the game i cant fully quit this game been playing sense about 2006 legit i can never find a game like this ive played a few other mmorpg but they dont click like when i first played this
bro this game is more alive than ever! its insane Isya is the most populated server.
I'm considering playing again Lvl 95 Mage on Isya. If only it was as popular as before
Loved the game when I was younger. At lvl 60 its all over though.
Leveling takes hours and hours of doing the same quests. Its just grinding.
Now u can go 1-120 in a week they made lving easy
I've played this game from its day 1 until around 2009, then came back in 2011, but couldn't find the same people I was playing with before, so I ended dropping out as well. Plus, I've started on NA servers and now they wanted EU players to play on EU servers, which for me was a no-no, after spending so much time and money in the original NA game.
I've recently restarted playing on the NA servers (funny thing is EU servers got closed in the meantime - don't the EU players feel a bit robbed?) and I'm enjoying the game so far. The leveling is not that taxing as it was before and I find the cash shop cheaper, however there is a booming inflation in game. Back in the day people didn't have GEMs, but now you see even poor stat items being sold for gems. For a returning player that had only few gold in the pocket, that was a big shock.
it was my first MMO experience. It was a good game. But when i experienced PVP with pay to win + frustration of missing uprading at lvl 75 with my magus i quit the game. I played from 2011 to 2014. I tried to come back on 2019 but nope graphics are too old for me. I keep good feelings on it but i'm unable to play MMO like this. I tried tera online which is good too but farming is boring for me now. If upgrading his equipement was easier and free maybe i'll try again one day.
Hey man, i just wanted to say thank you! this is a really great video and inspired me to make my own! I hope you will get the attention your quallity deserves!
Its crazy seeing this game. Its been like 8 - 10 years since I've played Fiesta online. I used to play this everyday after school with my mates.
I've stopped playing and came back a year or half a year later, a lot of times.
Something about this game that just makes me not want to leave it inside a box of childhood toys.
Bro.. this was my childhood game as well. I have spend thousands of hours and I hate to say it but dollars on this game too. I’ve recently rejoined as well we are on the same server actually. I have friends that play the game now and it’s honestly super populated and I never thought it would be like that again. I’m doing the same thing as you and enjoying the game instead of grinding to cap. We should play sometime. You can find me on discord and we could grind the hell out of this and make content. Your channel could blow up who knows
dude yes, i quit b4 the server merger and recently got back. im enjoying it again
Thats awesome man make sure to say hi in game.
Dude same here I quit before the merge. Now my characters are split up in two different servers. I really loved this game.
Why do you guys still play Fiesta Online? Let me know!!!
Join our Fiesta Online Community Discord Server: discord.gg/5c8XYrS
For exactly the same reason! :)
Quarantine 😂
@@robbevevo1381 Glad to hear i'm not the only one
@@supha8659 lmfao that's a good point.
Its fun tho. For me its the best mmorpg game
Fiesta online was the first mmo I ever played, probably back in 2008 if not earlier. Didn't hold me that long, but I tried it again today out of nostalgia and had a great two-three hours of fun just doing the early game and finding a person to try KQ with (with buffs from their guild, but still)
I used to play this game 2007-2010. The first and only MMO I ever played. Awesome memories!
I totally agree with you, MMORPGs seems to be running in circles nowadays so I tried some old MMO I used to love, and some on private servers, at first the nostalgia and the feelings are awesome but then you end up alone, just questing and leveling without any interactions because everybody is grinding and tryharding on his own path, then I remember playing a bit of Fiesta like 1 year in total, I was low level but enjoyed the community (French as I am ofc) and the cool universe, you really hyped me I'll see if the community is still numerous and helpful/talkative or not, great memories with this game I'll check this out
Yeah it's worth checking out and who knows you might end up staying
@@RankOneOnly Just checked a bit after I putted this comment, like on French UA-cam videos and forums apparently the game is dead, there's like 100 players or even less and like 1 or 2 GMs connected once a week, dunno if it's worth to check by myself, I used to do it myself for some games but usually I just waste time downloading and uninstalling the game....
@@kena6106 You should try maybe of the other EU servers. I heard one of them is really populated.
This is my first online game. Started '08, tried different online games, but fiesta is really fcking Good.
This was my childhood game too, all the reasons you listed is how I feel about other games too. Im always talking, helping out others or socializing in this game. In final fantasy, I did not talk to a single person and It felt like a single player game. At least in fiesta, I can be cocky and destroy people in pvp and show off how powerful I am. Also people would respect me for it.
I started playing in 2007, on and off until 2015. There's plenty to be said about it, but one of the main things that got me out of the game was the inflation on the prices, I got nostalgic a few weeks ago and installed only to find it got even worse. Still, it had one of the best communities I've seen in a game, that's what made me play it for so long
dude this game was my absolute shit as a kid! me and my childhood friends spent many hours on this, i remember grinding exp in that one tower where you face waves of enemies, that of which i cant remember the name of or where it is lmao. it's been too long lol
Aion, back in its hayday was like that. Ironically, Fiesta was, for me, the one I played as a single player lol.
Its the only game where i can have fun with a lot, i mean a lot of friends. Just take your time and have fun, thats what i love about it.
i left fiesta online 6 years ago and have been missing it ever since tryed a lot of other mmos but i just came back to fiesta agian because of nostalgia as well
gonna give it a chance, i'm happy to know its still alive
I used to play first as a young teen. It was one of my first MMOs it will always stay in my heart. I play final fantasy 14. It is the only fame to give me the same feels as fiesta.
This was my first mmo and it holds a lot of nostalgia for me, but Fiesta doesn't hold a candle to the social aspects of FF14(The golden saucer, chilling in cities, player events, player concerts) a game that also respects your time (rare for mmos). A lot of people still on this game are being held hostage by the emotion they feel for it.
I'm more recent coming back to fiesta and it was a nostalgia hit for me. I remember when the kingdom quests would fill almost immediately and it was exciting to participate in one. But in 2021 seems no ones doing them, I assume high level ones are being done since I only see high level players just chilling around.
I'm currently trying to reach 60, since I lost my old account with a level 45 cleric. But im enjoying it, even if it's a bit slow at times to level up.
On 'lower' levels people do Lost Mini Dragon Hardcore because they can farm yellow gear. Once you reach level 70, King Kong Phinofly Kingdom Quest should have enough people all times. Gets even better from 90.
I leveled a mage few months ago and in my experience, low level zones are empty because before level 60 people can turn quest without coming back to a city. Mixed with the fact there's a lot of vets leveling alts and they grind abyss or get boosted, they know what to do so doing Izyel tower or low level KQs is pointless because they level quick. When you're around lvl 50 you start find more people on Collapsed Prision, Goblin Camp and so on, Uruga has people on queue sometimes for a repeteable quest.
I have a love/hate relationship with the game and the P2W direction after lvl 100 or lower depending on class but i still comeback.
Its true fiesta online have One of the must fun comunity ever!
I play a lot of MMO and fiesta continues to be the most fun
Its true its very pay to win but the game have a great game balance
I just started to install this game because of this video :)
me too i swear i really miss this game :'(
Fiesta better than any other mmos it’s jus fun and built it’s unique I like it!!
Fiesta needs to be revived!!!!
Glad to hear it’s still a game with a lot of players :) Personally, I am fully invested in FFXIV now and don’t think I ever played an amazing mmorpg as FFXIV. With the current content I’m on and the friends I had made it’s hard to go back to Fiesta for me now. Hope the game is still doing great :)
The music of this game was something special. Can somebody foster a playlist together from the games audio files?
I played this for years and all the time but I hated leveling my beta character got at the max lvl was 16 xD, my after beta characters highest level before I went on hiatus was 28. Bc my friends forced me to level lol.
Run while you can it's addictive lol.
Very addicted...It's too late for me :(
Me and my wife just came back after years off. There are more people playing now than there was then. I guess they combined servers or something.
I thought about returning, but I literally only have WiFi on Friday and Saturday nights, the connection issues on mobile data is genuinely still a deal breaker. Plus, I’m away from home a lot, so bought a handheld console instead
I used to love this game back in 2010
i love its artstyle: character models, armors weapons, skills thats why im still here.
I’ve been playing since 2009 and have been on and off since then. It’s my off year today LMAO Got me a cap char ready for cap raise already. It’s always the community that’s nice here. People you meet while doing quests etc. Always have been my only vice in life. It’s very addicting! 😂 To people who wanna play again, you should give it a try! It’s not f2p but you can be f2p (if that makes sense)
This game was one of the best parts of childhood for my brother & me.
Oh- the memories. Crystal Castle music is *chefs kiss*
i cant even watch. i remember gud old days
omg this is so nostalgic to me, I started playing this game when I was 15 I'm 28 now and the last time I went back to it was 2 yrs ago and I'm thinking on signing in again and see whats up. I did find since they divided the the servers it kind of suck I couldn't play with the people from other countries and that was sad for me lol... also felt like things got more expensive in the game and for some reason I find if hard to find new people that wants to play the game together. Kindomg quest were my fav thing to do with my group but for some reason last time I played nobody seem to do them... maybe I will download it again and hopefully its better :)
my highest character is a cleric and also had an archer character.
Doesn't hurt to give it a try specially in times like these when we are stuck at home!
Im about to program a mmorpg and try to get the same vibe like fiesta online, should it ever be finished it will be free to play with no p2w, fiesta was the best mmo for me but for me its no more worth playing it because the most of the german servers are empty
Smolec Beats oh let us know! That sounds awesome :)
My first Mmorpg I played. And I really loved it. Might start again new because I forgot my Passwort haha.
Very relatable, I also played back in the good ol days of 07
Awesome Video. Thanks ! :)
I fell out of it for a year or 2 and tried to come back but it was so dead, so I didn't try it again for 4 or 5 years now, but I'm thinking of giving it a try again
i played this game from almost the start for 4 yrs,i quit after the 105 cap,i got to talk to alot of great friends,i started playing again,a few months ago,but starting all over again,is just ugh,its expensive, so i stopped again,but i so loved fiesta
Now i am thinking about coming back as well, i had alot of fun in this game but for some reason also left it behind.
once you get into the higher levels, you'll realize how pay to win the game really is :) have fun while you can homie
I know exactly how P2W it is, I have been capped before. This time around i'm just having fun.
@@RankOneOnly That's nice man, hope u can enjoy it, it's just the more u get involved with everything in the game is when you realize fiesta isn't that well managed staff wise, updates wise. but don't let me ruin it for you, the nostalgia is the reason most people play
I've stopped playing right after they lifted the lv89 cap and explored TOS, gotten myself to lv90 and stopped. Went back to check out recently and the KQs is never filled, never. It's sad
@@GloxyGlory KKP fills up both A and B in my experience 🤷♂️ ive heard Honeying and Mini Dragon ones do too. Havent been to the higher levels doe
excactly
Dang looking at these comments makes me so happy to see the lack of toxicity that you just see nowdays. I hope the game is just as friendly from I had to leave in 2013 :)
Yea. I'm debating about coming back myself. I am thinking about coming back too. Problem is that one character is on Isya and the other is on Pagel and I would rather be on my cleric that is on Pagel, yet there's hardly anyone on that server.
Yeah unfortunately i was on the same boat. My lvl10 Gladiator and lvl115 Warlock are on Pagel but Isya is so populated that i decided to start over there.
Its my childhood memories. If its being populated again. I surely will play. I am looking for alternative
Honestly, FF14's community is quite social. Albeit, most conversations happened in linkshells and free companies. But, it is very, very social. And it only feels like a single player game if you choose to play it that way. You have to nake an effort to go out of your way to meet people.
I've tried many other mmorpgs, but it's Fiesta that I continue to uninstall/install. I don't know what it is about this game that makes me treat it like a toxic girlfriend.
"or just AFK dance"
LMAO
I remember playing this wheni was a kid lol I still love this game but don't want to start over a lvl 86 mage with godly gear set for 90 I just lost so much but tempting to come back when my PC gets delivered noob grounds roumen elderine tower of iyzel was super crowded them were the days and the pvp Kingdom quest
I kinda feel the same way. I'll give it another go but leveling and gear will low on my priorities.
That's how i have been doing it, I used to try to level up extremely fast to get to cap but it would just burned me out. This time around i'm taking my time and just hanging with friends in game, It has been such a better exeprience.
don't forget about the incredible music
are there still many new players? Because i cant imagine it makes fun without another players who are lvling up with you and stuff
When i leveled up yes there was players running around, There's always people in Elderine and Uruga and of course the higher level zones.
i went looking for another anime mmo with the same charm and there just isnt one. Even with the absolutely awful weapon upgrade system, its still not enough to deter away from whats good about the game. I just wish there was more players now.
How big is the player base now? I used to play back in the day and I'm curious about returning to it
Came back to farm ZK. Perm life is very different now.
nice vid bro
Appreciate it bro! I'll see you in game!!
Seems like you didn't try BladeAndSoul very friendly and social community
Unfortunately when i tried to download a couple of years back it wouldn't work so i never tried it.
i played from 2007 to 2010. inpure and daymare if anyone remembers. thanks for the video
Ive recently started playing again too but had to start over again . Ive found it hard to sell pots or scrolls etc so making in game money im struggling with so buying gear is getting hard to do let alone enhanced gear any tips for making gems? Ive litrally sat all day in a vendor selling hp pots didnt sell a single one n i was cheapest in the area of vendors next to me i feel like if i cant make gems soon i wont be able to play 🙈
Is it worth getting back into..? I really want to go back. I’ve played since 2008. I was a Cleric. I’ve played many MMORPGs since feel so empty.
Honestly it's hard to say, I am having a blast right now. I recommend you download it and just play for a couple of days and see if you like it still.
Game is fun if you have money to spend
how is this game now?...i used to play it some was thinking about it again
