These MMOs don't exist anymore... But I played them.

I am like number 529

I was one of the thousands of Matrix Online beta testers in 2005 before launch and then stayed on as a paying customer until about mid-2006 or so. It was crazy fun at first, when Monolith was developing the game, but Sony Online Entertainment basically ruined the game after they took over. I kept up with what was going on in the game because of friends still playing, all the way to the crazy way it ended when SOE pulled the plug in 2009, but it was a real shame the way everything went down.

Oh lord toontown; fever dream. I knew i played this but no one else believes me about it!!

i liked ToonTown's system and wished a fantasy one would pop one day using it. Unlike other turn based, other players can join directly on the fly.

you should look for Elsword and Grand Fantasia
pretty popular MMOs back in the day

Late comment but if you ever find a game with WASD not being usable and its direction buttons as default. Press FN+w on keyboard. This swaps wasd and directional buttons letting you still use WASD to move around. Just remember to swap it back if you want to type anything ^^

Lmao I play TTR and Corporate Clash, and played toontown when it was live-- never seen eRP there. I've seen it in WoW literally every single time I enter a phase at goldshire. I've seen it in final fantasy and guild wars. You know, the games with actually sexualized characters? Toontown probably has the most wholesome community I've encountered lol, and it's bones are actually way better than any other MMO in this list. Played pirates and matrix when they were live: both terrible games

I think I still have the disc for pirates of the carribean soemwhere

I was a huge pirates online player back in the day, it was my first mmorpg

I love the recreation, as someone who played it when it was new they have done an AMAZING job!

you forgot the Lego MMO "Lego Universe" :D

I'm going to use squirt

I do anything to bring The Matrix Online back

I feel so bad for Billy. He doesn't look like he's happy breathing.

I still get on TLOPO from time to time. Honestly, in 2024, it's still a fun game.

Wildstar was so epic i miss it :/

Oop, that depp reference killed it for me, were you in a cave? Bye bye

Star wars is set in the past and in a different galaxy.

I miss PS2's everquest online adventures frontier

You need to play Phantasy Star Universe for this. Sega shut it down and a group rebuilt it. Great game. A bit directionless though.

Cringe

The amount of times you forgot to add 'Captain' to 'Jack Sparrow' make my blood boil for Captain Jack Sparrow.

I remember adverts for Pirates Online back in the day and it looked fucking awesome
Looking at it now, it feels like it's probably more fun than Sea of Thieves

They should be forced to release source code like 15 years after the game dies completely. Books and Movies go into the public domain, why can't games??

When I was 10 I loved Pirates of the Caribbean Online haha. I can not believe they have a private server for it!! I MUST DOWNLOAD NOW!!

Who remembers Monkey Quest?

Queen's Blade is gone it had smexy anime girls you played as and had to spend real money to get undies for them so they can have a stat boost yea it was pay to win f2p mmo

Seriously! If you're reading this and never experienced Pirates Online, you need to check it out! This game was way ahead of it's time and kept me glued playing on my crappy Windows 2000 computer.

Toon town rewritten is fun but you should seriously give corporate class a try. They the base toontown expirence and overhauled it. There are new gags, new mechanics, new cogs, crazy bosses. Its all really amazing.

As for another MMO that has been brought back, Monster Hunter Frontier has a number of private servers available and has the largest range of monsters available in a game in the franchise. Its also been translated to English as the game was never released in the west.

Billy Badbeard is probably the most comical character I've seen yet.. 🤣

BRING TERA BACK!

Man I used to play pirates online on dial up on my huge gray monitor for hours lol was a great time

Love that I saw ToonTown, my cousin and I have been having a good time on Corporate Clash and ReWritten!

for me it is Vanguard, it has really great ideas like diplomacy, great classes like bard who made his own spells, necromancer that designed his minions, best crafting ever, great fishing etc.
and as far as games never made, my biggest regret is Mythica from microsoft GS - it could have been great

Toontown rewritten needs a deeper dive…

I would love to try silkroad online, kal online, or Risk your life, loved those games back in the day. Hey, that pirate game is better than skull and bones 😅

yall rember canaan online and fiesta online? my first mmo experiences because no or a very small download needed

Monster & Me, lol.

Back in the day, my brother and I were big into Everquest. My little sister wanted to play with us, but she was too young. So mom tasked us with finding and MMO for her. We found Toontown and she was hooked.

why clickbait with wildstar? i genuinely looked forward to seeing your reaction to that game

I used to love Rift

Why put the Warhammer logo in your preview photo thingy, you are wrong for that and my heart cries. As Warhammer online was and will always be the best PVP game :(

2nd ever MMORPG I've played was FusionFall, and I highly recommend giving it a go for everyone. There are private servers to experience the sheer ambience and the passion that went into it back in the time. I still love it dearly despite it's dated (heavily so) combat system.

Got baited by wildstar in the thumbnail :(

Two games I used to play, one of them a lot more than the other, Firefall which I still miss, had decent gameplay with alright progression, the ability to essentially mine resources just about anywhere and random folk could join in to help was nice, and the other was Global Agenda, though I don't remember if it was ever really an MMO persay

Stopped watching when I got to the part throwing shade at Johnny Depp for absolutely no reason. Dude was found innocent / not liable of those accusations, but just throwing shade at people for no reason is a really weird feature in a video like this.

The Matrix Online was my very first MMO. So nostalgic

I'd love to hear you talk about Corporate Clash, which is another Toontown private server. They added a lot to the game, including 16 new bosses.
