  I’d like to see a part 3, it’s nice seeing obscure and lesser known mmos.

  Underlight guy was super cool. You love seeing MMO veterans who aren't jaded scumbags

  Would like to see longer gameplays of these games. It ends before you really try anything.

  Rappelz was actually my second ever MMO (after Anarchy Online). I had a blast with it back then. The mechanic that allows you to make nearly any mob a pet was really neat

  I&apos;m so sorry that was your first experience with Blade Mistress. I played it when it originally released, and when it closed down I followed it through a few privately maintained iterations. It appears someone else has now taken the source code and started modifying it for steam, as &quot;BEAST&quot; wasn&apos;t previously a stat and that punching bag minotaur did not exist. I still maintain my own installation of the server on my desktop PC and boot up the game from time to time but it is by no means a solo mmo and it&apos;s definitely a product of it&apos;s time. <br><br>A brief history of the game is that it was made by two guys in their garage as a response to the high bandwith requirement of MMOs at the time, they wanted to release something that could be played anywhere by anyone, and they succeeded. There was previously a subscription for playtime too, but that was scrapped early on. There&apos;s a lot of interesting and unique systems in Blade Mistress, and particularly the crafting is a joy to play with if you&apos;re mathematically inclined (We used to compete for making the biggest swords possible, though they were incredibly inefficient), as was Geomancy (Player created dungeons) and Explosives. <br><br>Super cool to see it still being played by anybody these days though.

  Ah yes. My old nemesis the bright pink PH texture. Anyone who has worked on a large scale game dev team has been griefed by this.

  I played rappelz for years it&apos;s seriously just a grindathon and the main feature is the pet system (getting a rare pet leveling it etc) the socializing aspect and the fact you really couldn&apos;t progress without a dungeon party made the game quite good acctually.
