Just a thought as I mentioned before, classic mmorpgs have a inherent problem with populations. The only way resolve this is with a "rally" where players themselves come together to reestablish a GREAT game…. Many classics are plagued with this negative aspect.
Us here at mmorpg.com have a chance to make a difference, because it's the only come together place I know of on the internet to have a revival for our passion.
This is not about me, I would only play a very small part if any. I'm not well liked and do to health issues, I can't play video games for long durations anymore. Infact I'm not great at video games and have only one good quality to get groups together as one.
If their is a calling for this venture, I would like to suggest lotro, but open to other possibilities.
Here is why I would suggest lotro,
I've been playing my old level 22 Rune Keeper on the "Brandywine server" on and off for a week and found it's somewhat populated at lower mid game. In my research and speaking with in game players, I found them all friendly and beyond F2P players. However most are Lifetime members, still many are VIP's, and willing to group….. So this game already has a strong suggestive value.
A rally of our community can make a HUGE impact where we can find a home until something better comes along.
More about lotro,
I'm by far NOT an expert on the payment model, infact it's extremely confusing and Standing Stone Games seem to like it that way. I'm holding my usual grudge against tricks and corruption as many of you know my personality.
Important:
Looking past SSG's marketing…. IT'S STILL A GOOD VALUE, as long as your careful. You need to study beyond their web site that's almost useless other than downloading and subscribing.
My limited knowledge of payment (help from experts are required)
- Ftp to level 30
- VIP subscription for one month or more will get you to level 50 along with fast travel unlocks, better bag space and mount training past level 20, five hundred points per month to spend in store.
- Beyond level 50, requires expansive expansions, unless you catch a sale. Alternately you can purchase quest packs that can last forever. I don't like this option, it limits who will play with you.
Putting lotro aside
!!!!!
Any interest in an mmorpg.com rally ?
If so, it would require a new pub topic. And better experts on the game choice knowledge than I
Your thought's ?

I think some rallying has been done in Valheim but it is still in EA. I spent over six to seven years in Lotro, its a damn fine game but having spent that long in it for me the search continues, I doubt I would go back.
That leaves up and coming MMO's which knowing our luck will start as EA, but if they launch who knows they could be potentials.
- I can get work done around the house (bad snow storms)
- Reduce chance of seizures.
- Can think of more topics
It does not have to be lotro.
In the booklcub there were leveling goals for each week, RP and musical gatherings, and dungeon runs for the weekends if my memory is correct.
If it had any effect like Delete suggests, leading by example would surely be enough?
I am in the market to play something new, finally hit the well in FO76 but hey, it was a good 17 month run, more than most this decade.
I thought of Valheim, but I also want to wait until they "finish" it, seems a bit light on content at present and I'm looking for a longer term experience.
Thanks for the invite though, I appreciate people trying to gather folks together to have some fun, not a role I excel at really.

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
First, Their are not many overall mmorpg's worth having a group effort. Honestly and I say it all the time ONLY SECOND GENERATION GAMES WOULD DO.
Were burnt out from the few 2nd Gen games we have. Their just used up, and rehashed where players don't want to be bothered with any more.
At the very best an "individual" desire to play one is the only way anyone would venture into one. No one would want to deeply give their time knowing they may not stay from burnout.
Here's an example:
An individual may re-find Everquest 2, play it a few weeks, and tell us how much fun their having.... no one would care about his individual desire.
Been-their-done-that too many times syndrome !
Modern mmorpg's are way to shallow.... No reason to group, craft and trade, but to play a story. Even they are getting older, soon no one will be playing them.
To play one, the individual player would have to be "in the mood", and none of us could be in the mood at the same time.
I suggested lotro..... Well " I'm in the mood" at the moment !..... but if you asked me six months in the past or in the future, I would say na, I'm not in the mood.
Their used up and discarded, like an old rag doll.
With Free-to-play, everyone would play the Free part and stop, best case... That's what free-to-play does !!
My question is, are we done ?
Honestly, were here to talk about it only..... I hate to say it, me too.
Done with what, attempting a rally or with MMORPGs?
The former wasn't likely to begin with, the latter not me personally.
Ah, well... That's a speak for yourself kind of thing.
We don't really have that many, off the top of my head, we have:
EQ 2
Classic WoW
FF11
DDO
A few more, this is just a fast look, I'm sure just a few more.
Also add first gen, but their very old.
A Rally would be more viable if their were more choices.
I never really liked LOTRO even back in the day, and I did play it at launch. Newer MMO's are fun, but there wouldn't really be a reason to join with a large group of players, too much of the leveling game is solo, and grouping is just not an efficient way to level.
A rally is viable. There are numerous old and older games available, in one way or another. It could be easily done. But the ones truly interested in those games are already playing them, and those not aren't keen on pretending they are.
For some, grouping may be more efficient at being fun. You're going to get there eventually anyway. What's the rush?
1. no one has played it (I believe me and Slapshot and thats about it)
2. It hardly has a population so we’ll be the majority
3. It has little content so we’ll be making up our own adventure, they even call it a sandbox!
4. Its really bad so we can bond over disliking the game and getting aggravated with its systems
5. It looks basic AF so you only need a modest PC to run it
6. It has a sub, out with the freeloaders (and everyone else)
Well, I think we have a winner here!

'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
