I randomly peeked into the Rob discord and saw people spamming, "Happy birthday Connor" (no idea who Connor is), but I read it as "Happy birthday Coestar" which would be a lot more fun.

Hardcore servers were fun, im sure they're much harder now with all the content. I used to play one that would ban you for 1 month on death.

I wish more of the early-access-survival games that came out tried to do that Minecraft is a good sandbox for it, but often doesn't include enough beyond Vanilla to keep things new and interesting

Yeah, there was a video that came out recently about civilization sims in Minecraft and why they usually miss the mark on what actually made it necessary to create kingdoms and nations in real life, and they brought up that while other existing games would probably be more useful for that, they don’t have nearly as much wide appeal nor the capability to run a server for the thousands of players it would need to be actually interesting

I think one day, there’ll be a game that hits the trifecta of content, server optimization, and survival mechanics that will make something like this possible, but it’s possible it won’t amass enough of a following to do anything with it anyway
Wuvwand rawb
Mmos feel like a tough sell these days unless you have a good ip or an experienced dev team to carry it I think the league of legends mmo will be pretty popular at first for that reason
TinyBomby rawb
MMOs also just need a good community to work, but the people who play MMOs today are just inherently not good for making MMOs popular.
Wuvwand rawb
That’s the other thing too is these civ simulators are whitelisted so there’s at least somewhat of a barrier to entry against troublemakers (blatant griefers and non participants, people who do things like form bandit gangs and stuff aren’t included in that)

mmos were a product of the time, the internet and communites as a whole were rather tight knit and extremely interconnected. nowadays there's too many microcommunities and niches. There's "too much" content, so you won't get millions of people playing the same game

we had this argument while waiting in line last month but I've thought about it more, I don't even think I'm talking about an "MMO" really when I say that

i worked with one of the biggest, like maybe it was num 2 or 3? townie server at the time and it couldnt make money anymore due to mojang changes and they all died
taxes rawb
and then when it tried to revive it peaked at like 60 players, had like 20 daily for a bit then like 2 then like zero.

i think not until there's a big enough fracture that somehow magically seperates normies to another half of the internet
Polar_ rawb
The internet died precovid when everyone began to gather around 3-5 websites, covid only accelerated that and also allowed people the opportunity to shit up hobby communities
Polar_ rawb
People love slop too much for another MMO to ever be popular, like Max said new thing will always get more people. Regardless of new thing quality.
Polar_ rawb
Also Ive played some MMOs recently. No one talks in game anymore. Discord has essentially cucked in game chat forever
