#this is the best mmo ever

[fearsomegaybeast]

I just remembered that The Endless Forest is a thing that existed, what a game that was, wish I could've played it when it was at it's prime

but also it got me thinking,, man I wish there were more MMOs like TEF. Being a weird little guy in a big open world to explore and hang out with other weird little guys like you... animal MMOs for older audiences should be a thing me thinks

#also I love when animals have human faces #it's the best kind of creature design fucking ever I love it so much #more animal with human faces please I begs... #mmo #the endless forest #animal #deer #creature #thing

it is frustrating sometimes watching anime youtubers talk about isekai, and bring up Sword Art: Online, and talk about it in a way that makes it clear that like... the existence of .hack and the fact that like... it was pretty fucking huge and well known and from what I have seen of SAO must have been influential because like. I have not seen or read SAO, and so like, even if the creator of SAO has not played or watched read an entry in the .hack series, he's clearly consumed media influenced by it, right????

like I know .hack didn't create the like... 'trapped in a video game' genre, and I'm not saying all anime in the like... 'quasi-isekai, but it's an MMORPG' genre are .hack inspired, or owe something to .hack as a series...

I don't know exactly what point I'm trying to make specifically. But so much credit goes to SAO, and clearly it inspired a lot of the modern interest and web novels. I understand it's responsible at least for the resurgence of the genre.

But. I also feel like the way some people talk about SAO it's like... "How do I make people become fully aware of this other thing I feel is much better???" which I think is probably very self serving but also like. ugh the .hack series was really cool. I really wish we could bring it back and give it the credit it deserved. Sure not every entry was great, but I loved it. I think many anime fans would be happier with .hack as a reference point instead of SAO...

#wishful thinking probably #just watch old anime #and play .hack/GU #it's available on ps4 and steam I think #so like have fun instead of the show no one seems to actually like #and then make something inspired by that #.hack//sign even has one of the best soundtracks ever #you can just listen to it and be happy #it's randomly in english I think because the mmo fantasy style vibes #it sounds really cool #listen to it now #it's so cool

Reading up on Arknights stuff and realizing Alive Under Sunset is a metal band made up of essentially shards of the Ægirian god (as much as I understand feranmuts), they're one of if not Elysium's favourite band, and the lead singer met up with Thorns, an Ægir, during OF-ST-6, where Thorns has a vision of a Seaborn and the way he reacts... and then listening to Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean...

I might have a slight need to write an Elythorns fic where Thorns is desperately fighting the influence of the Seaborn.

#Arknights is a gacha in the way FFXIV is an mmo #technically true #but damn the storytelling is amazing #some of the best I've ever played

I got my viera a sweater and they look so cute and cozy now but ALSO I kept going ‘my god they must be SO HOT’ in most of the zones and then I realized.

They’re a thaumaturge.

They absolutely are using magic to keep their temp low enough for layers because that is PRECISELY the sort of bullshit I would pull if I had ice powers.

#they are also wearing cargo pants because I was looking around #and was hit by the visceral sense memory of the green corduroy cargo pants I had in HS #you could fit a paperback novel and a gameboy in the pockets #they were the best pants I have ever or will ever own and I'm STILL mad that I wore them out bad enough that mom rag-bagged them #I mean I'm also too fat for them now but if I still had them I could pull them apart and draft a pattern #and make a new pair sized up to fit #because using existing clothes as a template #is something I am capable of #but making shit up is well beyond my skill level #anyway since my second-highest class is weaver obvs Yeveth HAS to have a sweater and a scarf and cargo pants #they do not look like the protagonist of life #because almost none of my MMO characters are actually intended to be protagonist-grade #they're almost to a one meant to be that guy running by in the background of Star Wars with an ice cream maker #babble tea (blacklist this for less chatter) #tea plays too many games

my favourite aus are mmo aus which is SO fucked up because that is how my deeply not-in-love parents met and also i was an mmo kid with no self protection instinct

#just read an imodna mmo au and it’s only one chapter and AUGH. #i think i like mmo aus because they’re deeply personal while still being impersonal. like there’s the aspect of falling in love #without ever seeing each other but ALSO it’s great for found family and ALSO i’m a 2000s gamer at heart and ALSO #i had a massive crush on felicia day growing up and ALSO. love how the lines of tmi/personal info get blurred #we’re best friends we talk every day but we don’t know each other’s first names kind of deal. i LIVE for that shit #michi.txt #also nobody writes them and it’s v sad

I've had so little time to play lately it's taken me so long to get to this point but I'm HERE and I'm LOOOOOOOOSING it I'm just so happy rn I'm

#sis really went 'idk u could try kissing me ig' #chewing biting chewing biting #like the best and worst thing about swtor is it's SO LONG #on one hand it's infuriating to play through the dull parts to get to the meat #on the other hand you end up REALLY bonding with your toon over the hundreds of dull awful hours you're forced to spend w them #i'm BEGGING all my dragon age moots even if the mmo aspect puts you off #you can literally ignore it and play solo for free and experience some of the greatest characters bioware has EVER put out #i've never played ANY multiplayer content but i could probably be convinced

PONY TOWN HAS A LIBRARY NOW??????????

#fucking LOVE pony town kissing its developers on the mouth rn #ITS SO BIG AND FULL OF BOOKS ND YOU CAN PICK UP THE BOOKS !!!!!!!! #best mmo ever i love you i love you i love you #pony town #words covered in moss

Idk how many of y'all follow my twt but I'm not going to be very active on it anymore unless there's an art party or a piece I really want to post.

#when i say im tired of the xiv fandom on there i am....so goddamn tired. #not even the fate and cv fandom was that bad with microaggressions and racism the amount of racism i dealt with in that fandom is fucked up #like ive been trying for MONTHS to convince myself that things will change for me and ill feel better being on there but nope #im not sacrificing my health just to post my viera and sometimes fanart. im done. like. very done. #it just boggles my mind that the community got an award for 'best community' in mmos because i will tell you right now #its a very hostile environment on there for black people who are openly black within the fandom. #its not the best community for us. #i have enough shit going on irl trying to make myself be active on there was literally driving me crazy making shit SO much worse #i should not be so anxious that i have panic attacks over this shit #i should not feel worthless because of this shit. i have enough on my plate. #this is a learning experience because i promise you im never associating myself that much with a fandom ever again. #ppl wanna make fun of the fandom on here but at least i dont get microaggressed have racists spewing hateful rhetoric on my posts @ me #and have my posts screenshotted by racists so they can try to pull a 'gotcha' even though theyre clearly in the wrong #etc. cos there's a LOT more bs i have had to deal with from them mfs. So imma just sit back in peace and not deal with that shit anymore. #ill prob only post artwork of Lovelace and thats it cos why even almost put myself in a situation again. fuck them ppl who treated me bad #and every other black person in the fandom bad 🖕🏾 congrats on driving black ppl away from the fandom. On god I hope you burn in hell.

#ooc. higurashi no naku koro halloween kills 2021 dir david gordon green ni. #[hey guys .HACK//SIGN has lesbian rep disabled rep and deep characters plots like you would never even believe. #man I wanna write tsukasa but the issue is the whole ‘they’re playing inside a literal mmo’ so I’d have to fuck with shit. or write. the #real person and then drag people into HACK verses. which actually wouldn’t be so bad??? HACK is wish fulfillment in the best way. #I’ll sit on it because oh my god this rewatch in my adulthood is so much. this was the first anime my brother and I bonded over. #this was also the first anime I ever quietly snuck up late to watch when I was tiny. so much was lost on me. holy fuck I appreciate it so #much more now. the interpersonal relationships in this are genius. and yuki kajiura’s music is…. incredible. it’s incredible.]

Coincidentally, the character I wrote like 29 tags about yesterday, I started the current expansion healer job questline today and there they are. The whole thing is about continued redemption, this writing team really is something else. No stone unturned, no thread left loose.

#god the temptation to screencap... #it's the guy from the cutscene #who didn't forgive her #he still hasn't and never will #but he's helping integrate people like her back into society #and as such so is she #like they're REALLY leaving no stone unturned here #this game has some of the best writing I've ever seen #personal #mmo talk

[jukemaid]

unironically everyone trying to make a sandbox mmo should look at chimeraland. it's a fucking mess in every regard but i've been occupied for hours and hours and days despite having no goddamn idea if there's even a story. look at my house

being inside doesn't even stop the rain visual effect. it'll be pouring directly onto your living room. i am obsessed with this game

#the best 3/10 mmo i've ever played

[distantsonata]

do any of my followers play ffxiv? I'm thinking about buying the Endwalkers DLC because I want more game, but I'm only like 3/4ths of the way through heavensward. I also have no friends in game lmao

#i'm LOVING it though!!! #one of the best games I've played in forever #honestly? you know what? #it's what younger me wanted runescape to be #tbh #and I know that's so insane to say #but fishing. mining. fighting. it's all what I wanted runescape to be like #granted it's a lot more... mmorpg-y and intensive than I'd want that game to be #but the fact that I can play it ALL on a controller is also insane. like #an MMO? on a controller? holy shit #I have like 5 hotbars I can switch through rather competently and pull off some stylish stuff as a paladin #though I am dreading ever trying like blue mage or something #40+ spells? jesus christ

[swooshywoo]

man. i played this objectively mid mmo very briefly as it was dying and im ACHING to play an mmo for realsies now but. do i really.

#it was onigiri online and had one of the best fucking songs ever written btw #got it for my swithc lol then servers shut down 6 months later #anyways. if anyone has a 100% free mmo i can play on my laptop please tell me

[roguetelepaths]

does the jeffrey combs fandom know about secret world legends

#seriously one of the best stories i've ever experienced in a mmo #kind of a cocktease tho seeing as the game's basically abandonware at this point #but anyway! jeffrey combs is in it twice

[possessed-nia]

#my humble adventures #i joined new guild recently and this is the best time in an mmo i ever had #it feels like a dream i had #i am very grateful for the opportunities that appear to me at this moment <3

[carcharadroid]

I keep having this weird and recurring want to make a Monster Hunter webcomic about all of the RP that my husband and I have been doing since...fucking forever, but then I remember that I’m a burnout and can barely lift up my stylus anymore.

:(

#*dox babbles #We have a superhero/villain story that we've been working on #spun-off from our City of Heroes MMO days to become a wholly original work #and I feel like if I ever actually published anything in any form I'd want it to be that #and it'd probably be best as a comic or graphic novel or whatever #but I doubt my skill in art too much and I haven't even TRIED to make a comic in over a decade #so I keep thinking some self-indulgent fandom stuff would be a good way to practice #starting isn't even the hardest part #like it's hard yes but the hardest part is keeping the momentum going #I'm so prone to burnout and I have nooooo worldly idea how to get better u.u
