Thanks guys.
4:55 Its German
Jagd alles (Space missing) = Hunting everything or all
Schneiden = Cut
Strumfried is wrong -> Sturmfried = Is a Name / Family Name (rather from the Middle Ages), or Streetname in Germany. Sturm -> Storm in englisch.
Regen gift (also missing a Space) = Rain Poison
Schwarzwind = Blackwind
Schon flieg (Space missing) = Already fly (This Makes no sense in German, sounds like: Are you flying yet, but in German we didnt say "Schon flieg'". A Kid thats play with a little plane would say "Komm flieg schon = Come on fly")
it's really sad when you return to an MMO you used to enjoy as a kid. Gaia online's ZOMG was so massive that it wasn't hard to find parties you can join to finish really difficult areas (like almost impossible to do alone because you will need support and healers)
Now it's so empty. Just NPCs and mobs. No life in sight :(
please give Continent of Ninth a few more hours play.. i know it will be more time consuming n lots of hack n slash.... but if u can get pass lvl 50s ur in da good....
It's always kinda haunting and sad to hop into a dying or died MMO. The same feeling you get when you walk into an abandoned school or park
Especially if it's new to you and you actually enjoy the game lol
Weird feelings. literally my thoughts when this video came in my recommendation
I remember me and my high school friend used to play WOW in 2007, now we had our own family, everyone kinda stops playing. I tried to play it again out of boredom. It really makes me sad, seeing my team online almost everyday, now alone
go to many abandoned schools?
I remember the day that one of the private servers on Ragnarok Online i was playing on lost its players, it was so lonely but I was advancing pretty far on it. atleast until the server shut down the next week after
Man, dying MMOs are truly different. I used to play City of Steam Arkadia or whatever it was called, and when thr company announced they were closing, they just gave everyone everything.
All the premium items, all the mounts, etc. Was a fun, chaotic, last few weeks.
Definitely still missing it.
Anyone else had the same experience with dying games? Woule love to hear 'em
I used to play lots of metin2 back in the day. I remember going to a dungeon and farming some spiders with my OP +9 upgraded sword and all my friends at the time thought i was the strongest guy on the server because of it. The graphics were shiny and Metin2 was actually huge back in the day. I actually played without even understanding proper english since it’s not my first language and i was young, but with a few “hey mom can you come and translate this for me” and trial and error, i powered through xD.
I logged on some months ago and it was basically a ghost town. However i did discover that a private server was made, by random people and that one has a strong 10k daily players.
And you’re right, there’s something about a dying MMO. It may just be the feeling that you know a lot of people were there, who had fun and now moved on with their lives. Like when you re-visit your childhood home or neighborhood but it’s not what it used to be.
I played Dragon Saga, when local publisher announced they decided to not prolong contract, they gave unlimited cash shop currency and that was when i got my first +20 (max refinement) weapon. I remember the crowd on main square of novice city, it was fun despite being the goodbye party.
Bro i loved that game. Wish it could be remaked
Yeah it's all about the memories & friends we make along the way... Truly a mixed feeling of joy,sad,etc
@eagle5818 Dang I used to play metin2 with my brother back in the days.... unlocked a memory😅
Avabel used to be a good MMO in 2015, but asobimo (devs and pubs) fkked up, by tampering with player's RMT circulation they removed stall and trading system, and then add a gacha system.
ahhhh....asobimo. they peaked with toram online lol
@@menherafflesia toram suck lol
Accept it guys, none of these mmos were good games hehe
@@takodrew6043 Avabel with trading were great. You could actually become strong without paying.
@@takodrew6043Finally some said it
Avabel was a really good game when it first came out, was one of the top mmos on mobile. Untill it was ruined by the developer's greed.
server raids and i think there was pvp? i remember playing on my phone like in 2013 LOL
Not to mention there are so many class and class branches in this game. I hope asimbo remasters it. Toram online is still good though, even with the outdated graphics the gameplay is far beat from other mind numbing mmos.
Miss the buy/sell aystem
Same with Aurcus online
Never heard of them, would recommend doing more of this series
Not that popular now tbh, a lot of new game from the same company. Still, you may never heard of this company as well.
check my videos,im uploading some game play of dead mmos i have
Avabel...it's also on the phone. It's likely more popular there than on PC, and I doubt it's a crossed platform game. I've played Toram years ago on mobile (from the same devs), and it's definitely the more popular one between the two still.
They are just generic chinese mmo games which probably made by the same developer 😅
C9 is famous in my country 5-10 year ago i guess. for me its good game (in that time) but its have a lot of bug. i really enjoyed to find bug in town
OMG I PLAYED AVABEL FOR LIKE 4 YEARS STRAIGHT THIS JUST BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES
Ya but kinda sad,that server now is full bot😢
same, was a blast of nostalgia
yeah i still have pictures of me and my guild members too
good ol days
Why would you waste that much time on this terrible game?
@@ipkandkill the thing is this guy only shows the state of that game today with the port on steam, Avabel was a great mobile mmo at its peak, dominating from 2013 to 2018, imagine that it had different servers depending on your language, the auto hunt button did not exist and it was necessary to farm everything to upload and improve, like any good mmorpg, like someone said in the comments the game was ruined by asobimo with his decisions and his implementation of excessive p2w, it is sad that today we are only left with a few high level guilds that "keep the game alive" just because despite everything it is our point meeting even we know how bad that game is but at this point it is the love for what it used to be that keeps us playing it
The skills were all in German, there were just some spaces missing.
"Schwarzwind"= Black Wind
"Schneiden"= Cut
"Regen Gift" = Rain poison
" Jagd alles" = hunt all
Sturmfried = a last name
Schon Flieg = just flying
Jagd alles is definitely a weird one. What youd expect is "Alles Jagen", but i assume that didnt sound pretentious/cool enough. what its like now just says hunt all like you said, but hunt as in the concept of a hunt, the noun hunt. im asssuming they used translate and were happy.
So poison is gift?
@@alphaweeb8580yes, "Gift" is poison in German :)
Healer using regen gift and his wounded friend is foaming his mouth: 👁👄👁
@@alphaweeb8580 In many languages, yes! Norwegian included.
If i remember right,AVABEL was made by the same team behind TORAM that also made several others,it was pretty good back in the day, though TORAM is the only one surviving,i remember going on the subreddit two months ago and the community was really helpful still for new players
Toram brings back so many memories for me
same i still play it sometimes if im immenselu bored lol
I love Toram, I really need to log back in and finish my katana build
Don't lie to yourself because of nostalgia for garbage lol.
Every early mobile game like this was horrible.
The devs were incompetent, the company was a cash cow going by literally 37 different fake names to get new attention, and the playerbase were the types of people who weren't smart enough to play real mmos, and weren't skilled enough to compete with so much as a 8 year old n64 player.
Not toxic? How could they be when there's no game to play?
Like if you enjoy a game that effectively beats itself by mashing on your screen, you might want to consider candy crush.
Not trying to be mean, but there is no excuse for justifying such money hungry garbage. They simply took advantage of the ignorant for 12 years straight. In every category there are 10 games that do it better.
@@chara777 I think you're the one lying to yourself honestly. These were pretty good games for their times, especially when it's on mobile. You don't need high graphics or some sophisticated story or such to get someone to enjoy the game. If you needed such to be considered a good game, whatever the fuck happen to games like Runescape and such.
Actually, reading more of your comment and how salty and hateful you're acting, were you perhaps cheating or some shit and got banned lmao.
Recently found your channel and I've been thoroughly enjoying all your "first time player" videos. The deadpan sarcasm is the cherry on top. Keep up the good work!!
C9 has one of the best combat systems of all the MMO out there. I remembered spending hundreds of hours grinding for items in dungeon, creating so many characters just to find out their playstyle. Fun time.
This would be an iconic series to follow. Genuinely hope you continue with stuff like this!
C9 is famous in SEA 5-10 year ago , that time is so fun
Non ladder pvp was so fun
it was one of the GOATs in its own time.
LOL NO Way 4:03 (Shin) is me 😂 is real me WTF
Not a bot? 😂
wouldn't admit to playing this trash bro lmao
@@MyWhiteAbodemaybe if you're insecure about what internet strangers would think of you 💀
You should definitely make videos about this game. Gameplay highlights or random stuffs; if you like the game I think this is kind of great thing to do for archiving memories. :3
This is the gritty version of Josh Strife Hayes that I didnt know i needed. Great video Waydot.
C9 was one of my favourite MMO's when lvl 12 you get some skills and it keeps getting better from there
Dude I loved the format of this video, would be awesome to see more in a series like this!
Hey there, I am a big MMO fan so please allow me to explain what you experienced.
Avabel: The game is super duper old, it was originally a "great" game for tablets. And I am talking about when the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 was in the market. I remember playing this game exactly on that device, and I did actually enjoy it. You used to get only a few hundreds of XP and the new player experience was completely different. I kinda loved it because it was mostly about "go kill enemies, level up, go to the guild to learn new skills and buy new weapons, repeat" which was amazing for a game on a tablet more than a decade ago. I guess the current new player experience is designed to let you reach the end content as soon as possible (which is a common thing in super old MMOs)
Howl Breath: Never heard of it. I usually don't play indie MMOs because an MMO is the least indie-friendly genre ever for videogames
Echo of Soul: Came from an era where pretty much everyone was making a Free to Play MMO. They did pretty much all look the same. It has the same problem as Avabel where they want you to rush all the early game content as quick as possible
Continent of the Ninth: Okay this is the real deal. Originally known as C9, this game was my absolute favourite MMORPG for it's period. I remember it was super boring at the beginning because the first classes are like tutorial classes, at lvl 20 you can change class. Thare are a SHITTON of classes. Like, the Warrior alone has 5 classes to choose at lvl 20. Same for the other ones, with a total of 24 classes (the Mystic was the newest and it only had 4 classes to choose at lvl 20). And that's basically the moment the game gets good. You start unlocking super fun skills and the more you level up, the more skills you have to have fun with.
I used to play with an Elementalist (a Shaman class) and it had the power to fly and cast long ranged spells. I remember in PvP people insulting me because I was basically an untouchable god, spending the whole time on air throwing thunders and fireballs at them, while they could just run away. The downside is that it's a cannonglass, the moment they manage to get their hands on you, you are dead meat
Thanks for making this. I just kept laughing. Your delivery is somewhere between serious and deadpan and it is phenomenal.
man, avabel. what a nostalgic game. back then, there were players EVERYWHERE. seeing the tutorial without a single player really hits hard, man. the game used to be so alive back in 2018
Avabel was such a throwback game. I played that game since its released and enjoyed it long time. Sniper Class was so fun to use those days.
Bro how did you enjoy that mess?? The VGI is literally white lines that you can create in secs in python,2 models to choose from
@@randomness4989 its was a good good game
@@randomness4989keyword was, Its a super old mmo game. Sadly asombimo fked up badly. It has so many classes all with ALOT of branches with skills, had a mediocre story but so many mechanics.
@@randomness4989trust me you just had to be there 2012 - 2017 avabel was peak.
I've played Echo of Soul for over 4000+ hours, don't play it anymore nowadays. It didn't have the instant teleportation system in the past and quests took more enemy kills, items to obtain, etc. The game hasn't had a new dungeon or area for about 2~3 years now, most content that gets added is just old dungeons with higher difficulty (as in just stat changes). The game has had some new systems implemented but none really revived the game or where a big enough shake-up to entice anyone for longer then a small period of time. The game used to be fun but it's pretty much waiting for it's tombstone to be placed at this point in time.
I used to play Avabel years ago, having a game like that on a phone was a blast, nice video !
Your editing, your voice over and quality are good. This channel will definitely reach the top.
Thanks man i really appreciate that. :)
omg I used to play EOS (Echo of Soul) back in the day when it was still alive. there was probably thousands of players playing together with me when I logged in and it really felt like another world I could escape into! I could just complete quests and raid some dungeons with random people or go into PvP mode to level up quick. didn't expect that it would appear here :) such nostalgia when I saw that loading screen. it was truly great at its time, sad to see it ended abruptly because of some management failures :(
9:55 "I ate the baguette and apparently it gave me some experience"
As a Frenchman, I approve of this game !
🤣
really nice video man, old games can be really nice sometimes. your voiceover is awesome XD
Great video as per usual my friend, we need more of this!
the last part is C9, the game is really fun at the time, i used to play that with my university friend till i am the one left playing that game. it brings so much nostalgic feeling whenever i saw it
Waydot, your videos are pure gold at this rate. thanks
Appreciate it man :)
*Loves these Steam Dumbster Diving Series.*
*It is interesting to see other Games.*
*And it makes me appreciate my main MMORPG even more.*
More content like this pls love to know what's other old mmos that forgoten ❤
Man I loved Avabel back in the day. Played on mobile and it was pretty much one of the closest experiences to an SAO floor climbing game before actual SAO games came out. Not that SAO was all that good, but was definitely a cool experience
Never heard of this youtuber before, after watching a few videos, i love how un biased you are you see both sides its cool, you got a sub sir . Plus you got a chilled knowledgeable voice.
Echo of souls was my fav mmo back in 2015, battlefield pvp was fun, you thrown at an arena with 7 vs 7 team battle (or 5 v 5 i forgot) with a goal to destroy other team base.
The guild war was most chaotic, you transported to a realm with all other guilds of hundreds of player.
The quest are boring, like most classic mmorpg (colecting and kill things), used it as level up to unlock more gameplay mode.
Aha, The Asobimo games. I still play IRUNA online to this day after 10 years, Made so many friends, most of whom ended up to be lifelong friends. I think the most important part IRUNA served is the community. People did things with people. Grinding was about spending time together and chatting, not leveling up. Then there were people who dated lol. I always think playing IRUNA was the best decision in the past decade, and I wish things still were the way the were, but oh well it was fun while it lasted.
Echo of Soul, I played this game when It came out on Aeria games. Was fun for a bit
I agree!
was very confused when i played eco of soul that i confused it with tera, best mistake in my entire life, tera was goated!
I remember when playing C9 in my childhood this game was the GOAT of its time in my country in Thailand.
A really well done video, gave a sub and like. I'd love to see a vid about Dragon Nest!
Nice video and commentary about trying some mmorpg that nobody knows about or try in this recent days. It would be fine to watch a part 2 and more. Some ideas about forgotten mmorpg or not very known or popular:
Bless Unleashed
Karos
Inferna
Mortal Online
Requiem: Desiderium Mortis
Avabel Online
I hope these ones helps to search more from this type of video! See ya and suscribed!
funny that we had games like tales of pirates that they pulled the plug with many players, and later had so many non oficial pirate servers that they brought the game vack
Yes please do more of these series
Now i can watch here for MMO with no players
and watch Rye for FPS with no players
wow avabel was my first MMO it's been almost 10 years since last i played.
i loved when people just sit down on the ground on the main cities just to talk, it was awesome
Thanks, Waydot! Gave me a good laugh at the end of a long day
Sunset world does look really great!
avabel was one of the first open world mmo on phone n it was pretty sweet when i first played it. Couldn't play for long cuz it made my phone hotter than the sun back then
avabel was my first “mmo” i played for 2 years a while back, maybe 2014. the stuff you show is pretty different from what i remember, but i was pretty young and liked this game.
Bro wanted to feel like ainz ool gown for once... 😂😂😂😂
Avabel was actually amazing back in the day, before trade wasnt removed and gacha and auto fighting was introduced. playerbase was big as well, deffo one of top android mmorpg
The medieval snickers got me, laugh so loud on that
This is the kind of content I've been wanting to see for years. too bad that you can't do this kind of content on online mobile games that are gone now.
I don't know what Continent of the Ninth Golden is but Continent of the Ninth Seal was actually a great game for some action pvp. Sad that it just died out like the way it did without many people even knowing the game.
It honestly is my fav mmo, but It died when P2W joined the chat.
Up until when max lvl was 60 the game was super balanced in pve and pvp , now only if you have given a kidney or been playing for 5 years non stop you can do anything
@@Baterodalo or just roll mystic. The balance went to shit after they introduced another OP class
@@user-wu1hd4iy8u I was Warden and was super OP until the Desert but after that it was complete shit unless it was all maxed
13:59 oh my god, it's tera. it's tera, it's tera, it's tera, it's tera
Tera-ble!
Ill see myself out.
Tera is dead?
@@harmagedonFR they shut the game down a year or two ago
@@Opalthira i reinstall tera on my Xbox and there was one Europe server, the game IS still playable ! So he's not dead in 2024 !
@@harmagedonFR think its only available officially on xbox/ps now. PC version got shutdown
so many games you could have tried. we need a part 2
I was a player of C9 as Witchblade, became Bladedancer later. I was having fun in those day with by friends. The combat in PVP is like you are boxing. 1 wrong move can be lethal for you.
Avabel was a lost game. It was really good back in the day.
i used to play Echo of souls back in the day when it was good. no teleporting unless in big cities or some campsites. no lagging and beautiful landscape later on. the first quests are always kill quests till you get out of the first part. i miss the good old times where you would roam around the World of EOS with active players. Bring back my game man.
I played in SEA server back in 2015 I think. The problem being it doesn't take long after launch for people to stop playing PvE content. I enjoyed exploring into new maps but the was seriously lack of players.
There are tons of player in PvP and it was sure addicting. The change class system was fun too.
Didn’t expect avabel to make it here, it used to be a very packed game back in the 2012 - 2017 eras but they messed it all up & lost all of the palyers
Let's see a part 2! Also, as a recommendation maybe try Adventure Quest World?
AQW and AQ3D are actually great- sadly havent played 3D since 2020 bc my laptop died (and I didnt have space on my old phone and forgot it existed after getting my new one last august)
@@DiamondSparklz61 Agreed. I played it quite a bit. Since he liked the side scroller game so much I bet he would love it too :P
@@I_Am_Bricks I really want to play them again when I get another pc but at the same time, I want to leave the nostalgia back in the past with all the good memories
They brought Echo of Soul back?! Dude I actually enjoyed that game but then it got shut down and I was so sad
i tried ragnarock and its just not the same. dont bother unless you want to be disappointed. EOS is dead :(
I played "EOS" a lot in 2017~2019.
Seeing the game after so many years brought me a lot of memories!
Nowadays I don't even have the courage to open the game because it's so bad compared to today's MMOS
Yeah I played the beta and after it released and it was actually so good. But the game sadly never grew that much here 😢
i play EOS on first day released by AERIA Games 2013 ?
it was a good game, but lack of event..
Wow such well explained video loved it!
Amazing review! Don't forget your legacy systems ables you to give skills that normally a specific class wouldn't get!👀🔥
Remember Black desert? Continent of the ninth is a grandfather of it. They even have somewhat similar classes(Musa/Blademaster)
hopfully you checked your computer for chinese spyware.
Boy me and friends played alot EoS back in 2015.
The PvP (15v15 iirc) was quite addicting. They also give exp which leads to the vast map empty since nobody playing the PvE content.
You should totally try out MMOs that have been officially shut down by their developers/publishers, but that are still kept alive by their community. Star Wars Galaxies, Wildstar, Matrix Online, etc
Huge damage and exp values in that first game remind me of a game called 'Trillion'. At first it seemed like a novel concept - the BBEG has a trillion health that you have to take down - before you stop and think that it's just a matter of a factor. A boss with a trillion HP may as well have 100 HP if the only thing that changes is how much damage you deal yourself.
Part 2 pls it was so good and informative
I immediately lol'd when I saw Florensia on the first few seconds 😆
dude avabel bring back some memories when i was younger i loved that game
C9 actually was a really good game when it came out.
It's gameplay and graphics were really unique for the time, the game excelled on it's PvP elements, it was truly fun.
This reminds me of the early 2000s where due to how hard it is to get an internet, i play leaked versions of Ragnarok Online that sets its server locally.
Also the Continent one at the end looks like a combination between Dragon Nest and Dynasty Warriors
used to play so C9 back in the day, its pvp was some of the best stuff ever. Great gameplay and nice story.
sad to see it dead
God.. Avabel. The nostalgia it brings. Used to be popular when it was mobile only but died after a few years. I dont remember being able to one shot or auto quest tho-
"convenience of the twitter button" with 1995 pc game jazz amazing haha
Nice video. Maybe try OG MMOS to see if they hold up today
Avabel my love
until a few years ago (like 6 or so, cant remember) the game dificulty was a lot harder, u really ahd to play with a party, friends or guild to be able to reach the mid to hight floors of the tower, was really fun, nowadays the game gives you an extreme ammount of xp for noreason and everything is automated, wich in the past didnt happend
Nice video, i miss Avabel so much. I remember to see the game slowly dying 8 years ago
i love ur content, def subbing
Avabel Online is my first MMO game and it’s bring back so many memories from childhood. Damn miss those guild friends.
From those games i've heard about Continent of the Ninth Golden but never played it and i've Played Echo of Soul for a few months when it was hot. I have fond memories of the game for that time i spent on it. My memory is very vague tho so i cannot recall much of it anymore. I remember running around the map and exploring with a friend. I reached end game and all that good stuff. It was an alright game for its time.
edit: i read some comments and people recall echo of souls shutting down for abit so i guess that explains why i stopped it cause i personally enjoyed the game so couldnt recall why i stopped. Guess it got shutdown and i moved on never looking back at next releases it had.
ahhhh, ninth golden! something i played like 7 years ago for a bit, nostalgia hits in!
Epic vid! Much love, lad!
Echo of soul Classic, in it's prime was one of the best MMORPG even for Free players, it also had the best PvP system. But the Devs kept fracking up, not once or twice. they fracked up 11 times in a row which destroyed the game.
I really liked this video and I hope to see another video talking about extremily bad mmorpg
I remember having fun with Avabel on an old Android tablet so long ago.
That Steam experience was strange though. I remember there being a really basic character creator. Exp and damage also wasn't so heavily bloated so early on.
Looks like another case of what Josh Strife Hayes comes across in his "Worst MMO Ever" series in which the game has drastically reworked the beginner experience, but in his case it's usually the starter gear being much more powerful than the quest rewards for a long while.
Depending on the serverwide talking daily reward, i bet its to prevent the mass spam of gold sellers. As a former aion player ( NCsoft/Gameforge ), i have seen it happen before many times that the chat was being abused with bots, advertising gold sales.
Another mmorpg released on steam mid2023 with a very small player base is Legend of Edda, used to play it over 10 years ago, you may wanna check that out
I remember playing c9 back in the day and i also remember when you chang classes you get so many cool moves it feels like it evolves, then again i didnt play much more because it was p2w, as expected of a webzen game
I played c9 for like 4 years back in the day, for me it's THE BEST fighting system till this day. What's cool about it's because there's skills where you use as "combo keys" like fighting games, for example: if you press S+Right click you use a certain skill, D or A+left click other, other thing is it's not a point click game, you NEED aim everything if you want to do dmg, so pvp was really skilled based. Anyways, C9 was really cool back in the day, the only problem was not being an open world game, but I had fun playing it :)
Honestly I was hoping for a C9 2 or something like that to play it again, even the story is really cool
C9 was really fun on launch, always had a group for dungeons
avabel came in a time where you can only play mmorpg in a PC and when avabel released on mobile it really scratched that itch of mine to be able to play an mmorpg anytime anywhere it was the first proper mmorpg on mobile for me that time followed by order and chaos online
I feel ya, lot of steam games now a days say yeah game is open world but they don’t even have a player pool, they need to have the game free to play and introduce content as buyable items or skins
While not a dead MMO, I go into the new DCs in at like 2am FFXIV to do Eureka/Bozja and its always just me, so surreal, and ngl, pretty relaxing.
Played C9 for hundreds of hours on release, was #2 to reach the level cap at that time in EU server - also played in beta before western release in Korean servers.. good times:)
Im playing EoS about 2013- is good back then when no "Teleport Quest".
DO MORE OF THIS SERIES.
Apparently Howlbreath is trying to remake an old 2D mmorpg called helbreath, the HUD design is literally the same. Helbreath was my first online game, it's was a pretty fun game during 2000's era with massive RvR.
Howl breath apparently is a game immitation to another classic mmo called "Helbreath". Was my childhood lol.
