This month a Brazilian streamer "revived" an MMO from 1996 lol
ProfessorLih began streaming his adventures in @Meridian_59, a F2P re-release of one of the first graphical MMOs. After grinding +500hs and killing a boss, he invited his audience and got a record number of players!

@TheDazeel@ultimadragons The last time that I waited in line at GameStop was back in 2007 for the midnight release of The Burning Crusade. It was freezing outside but it was worth it!
If I ever fall in love with another MMORPG again I might go back to making videos. Either the genre has changed, I have changed or a combination of the two.

I would love to find another MMORPG to call home again but I haven't had much luck in the last ~7 years. Hopefully again sometime in the future I can find a new MMO to recapture the magic and adventure of past games.
The latest episode of this phenomenal podcast featuring @mitchlasky and @blakeir just dropped... I get a few flattering mentions, but more importantly it's a great tour of why online worlds were a crucial development in game history.
People think of sandbox as the older version of MMOs, and themeparks as newer. But thatβs not right β sandbox is not the older form.
Sandboxes are the evolution of themepark MMOs, not the antecedent. https://t.co/804Qvq5L7g
