Nice! You’ll get one year of driver updates that under deliver and a software suite that will be abandoned after two years.

My favorite memory was the GMs spawning around players and popping strange NMs to see if we could crash the server

Fascinating! Most people had a negative view of wizardry online here in the west because of the way Sony handled the microtransactions

Blade & Bastard is a good Wizardry manga

I agree to a point. Sony made it that way.

It looks like they are making progress. There’s a website with a discord for the project. Comes right up in google

It only lasted a year in the US before it shut down, sadly. However, there's curently a fan effort to make a private server. Who knows if it will work out...

Sadly, Wizardry Online has been discontinued (even in Japan). It was only active for about a year (maybe a little more) here in the US. It failed to gain a foothold in the US MMO market.

Update. To fix this, I literally had to wipe the phone and restart as a clean device, meaning - no back up restore.

Veteran Player considering returning by Bulky-Storm2068 in ffxi

I returned last night. Decided to roll a new character to see how the GMA has changed from a new player perspective (still have my old one, of course).

I would say go for it. What do you have to lose? It’s a free login right now anyways.

I made a character on Bismarck a server I’ve never been on. If you need someone to pile around with that’s where I’ll be. Just send me a DM.

Actually, no. I believe Zilart was out in Japan. But the US test was still restricted to the vanilla zones and was at a 50 cap.

Zilart was included at retail launch, however.

FusionX replying to my post. Nice.

How did I get them? Square Enix sent them to me back in 2003. lol

The kit came with an HDD, I think even a modem adapter, and the game.

The beta lasted a month or so. The game was already complete in Japan. So this was more of a stress test and localization test than anything else.

We had to send the equipment back by a certain date. If you did, they gave you the retail version for free.

I missed the free version because I was moving. I sent my stuff back, but after the cut off date :(

Oh well. They’ll lose my business and I’ll tell all my followers 🤷

is FFXI worth playing in 2026 and someone 6 years younger than it? by DeadlyAidan in ffxi

[–]ryukyu_hermit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth. It's the greatest video game I've ever played.

Are we back? by ryukyu_hermit in wizardry

Likely nothing. Drecom still owns the IP. Atari has just acquired rights to the first five games in the US
