  I don&apos;t know if I&apos;m sick, but Playing an mmo that nobody else is playing sounds fun to me.

  Islet Online actually looks pretty cool, seems they aren&apos;t super aggressive with their shop either. Might give it a try sometime soon.

  I wonder how many of those &quot;players&quot; were just NPCs made to look like player to make the game feel like people are around

  Hey hey!! OG Argentinian Regnum player here!! From way back into &apos;07-&apos;08!<br>First of all, the three kingdoms offer different starting points and races, although the classes are the same. Reach class can evolve into one of two specializations.<br>Each kingdom has 2 zones: a training, and a quest. Then there&apos;s a common middle zone that is a war zone. Any of those strongholds can be captured for points and xp. It used to be an absolute epic war up there. I was one of the very few supports of my kingdom so they protected me more than their lives (&apos;cause I actually could revive, heal and give mana). I have fond memories of that game. Oh, and it wasn&apos;t that buggy. <br>And fun fact: one of the guys who worked on that game also worked on the GODOT engine :)

  As someone familiar with Ryzom (it was the first MMO I played, and I made it to the &quot;free trial&quot; level cap of 125), I find the positivity here absolutely hilarious. I played before the extra tutorial was added on top of the existing tutorial, so I&apos;m a bit surprised it didn&apos;t even tell you that you have to equip your melee weapon (dagger) to perform at all in melee combat. But moreover, the only lore to be found is in a wiki, and the only quests in the game are in the tutorial area (which you never actually left; it takes several hours to finish the tutorial area). The mainland is just grinding: you can grind storyless missions for money or reputation, and you can grind fights for XP. I think if you actually did a deep dive into it, you&apos;d be disappointed.

  Legends of Edda “childlike style” is just called Chibi. It’s a whole thing.

  Back in 2008-2012 I played a lot of Regnum. The Realm vs. Realm in the central Warzone was epic. Later Gamigo added invading the other realms. It was honestly fairly hard to do and they did their best to balance out the realms. After that the game went downhill and monetized way too much. But for a long time that was my go-to MMO. Loved it!

  Perpetuum UI looks like some EVE Online shenanigans

  legend of edda is actually the first mmo in implement 200 vs 200 wars, it was one of the best games, every half an hour you get an invitation to the war maps and you get the premium currency of the game, based on your participation points. the chibi aspect is becuse 15 years agothere wasnt asingle pc that could play pvp that big.

  Been playing Islet Online for about 4 years on and off now. Amazing game, tons of fun! Especially when you get your flying mount and build your home, it&apos;s very addictive. Would recommend to everyone. The English-speaking community is very small, but it&apos;s still a great game and everyone is very polite anf friendly.
