I was actually surprised to see Ultima Online is still up and active recently. It must have a pretty decent sized population for EA not to shut down and repurpose the servers for Battlefield or something.
BadLuckMax also snagged several pieces of ill-gotten Mythic gear, including the unfortunately named Rushed Beta Launchers boots which, being leather (and thus useless on a Paladin) feels like a brutal jab at Blizzard.
Is this a retail thing where Paladins can only wear plate or is the author not familiar with the mechanic? Plenty of paladins taking cloth/leather/mail in OG and Classic.

Wow is still a thing?
Must be comfy under that rock
The rock where I’m actually doing enough with my life so as to not be aware that a cartoonish video game still exists?
Yeah. It’s pretty comfy.
Yet you are on a much more obscure thing called Lemmy. I don’t really care, just pointing out the irony.
And yet- my not caring about a video game enough to know whether or not it still existed is somehow wrong?
There are people who still admit to playing World of Warcraft to other people?
Yikes
I play WooooW
Can’t nobody mess with me noooow
Eh, whatever makes them happy.
I suppose. One of my favorite games is from 1992 and called ultimate underworld.
It was a far superior game regarding storyline, plot, and gameplay.
But I’m not here to yuck anyone. Although that is quite literally what I did.
That’s okay, I’m here to yuck someone. Blizzard is a fuck, don’t give them your sub money lol
There’s still private servers out there. You can play wow without giving blizzard money.
Can’t disagree with you there
Damn, lemmy is so good that it has a time machine to read comments from 2005!
If people have been saying this for 20 years, then, yeah. Thanks for making my point for me.
The only people saying this were Ultima players from 2005 before they tried and WoW and switched.
Looks like I touched a nerve…
There are people who still whine about what games others enjoy? Yikes.
You are not yet aware that most people have severe self-worth issues?
Nobody here is whining. I’m just surprised.
It’s OK if you understand that. No one will hate you for it, I promise.
Your track record of not hating people for their opinions is muddy at best.
😬
Lol what a mad lad
Any% clear!

Banning people in games is extremely difficult, annoyingly so.
Actually it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!
Oh really?
Banning cheaters in games is TIGHT!!!
Wowowowowow.
Wow.
Wowie wow wow.
Is this news?
WoW spelled backwards is WoW.
So is Bob.
Bob - Weird Al Yankovic might be up your alley.
Madam I’m Adam
So is racecar and abutttuba.
A butt tuba > foot notes
Dammit Im mad
But Dad, I’m jesus christ
ITT: I learn WoW is still a thing. Honestly thought that shit died like 15 years ago.
You have to be living under a rock to not know that WoW is still an incredibly popular game. It’s easily still the most popular MMORPG
I’ve been living under quite a rock then, haven’t heard WoW even mentioned for years (and years)
It’s a failed attempt at minimizing. Lots of people reply like that.
If the only pre-live service MMORPG still going strong.
I was actually surprised to see Ultima Online is still up and active recently. It must have a pretty decent sized population for EA not to shut down and repurpose the servers for Battlefield or something.
Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a hot minute.
what makes wow not a live service game? aren’t all MMOs by definition live service?
I mean, yeah. Just don’t tend not to lump the older ones in it because of how awful the practice has become since the phrase was formalized.
What about FF14 or Guild Wars 2? Don’t they count as pre-live service MMORPGs, too?
checks Seems games as a service model that we know today really picked up steam at around the late 2010s. So, yeah…
I genuinely didn’t know it was still big. Everyone I know who played it quit ten years ago and expansion launches no longer hit my feeds.
No you don’t.
So, is it the world first or not? They were technically the first…
Is this a retail thing where Paladins can only wear plate or is the author not familiar with the mechanic? Plenty of paladins taking cloth/leather/mail in OG and Classic.
You get some kind of bonus if you wear your classes preferred armor type iirc.
from cata on you got 5% bonus to your primary stat for wearing your armour class, so plate for example on pally. but gear works differently in retail so all plate has strength and int on it so you really have no reason to use cloth or leather
