In lieu of this post, I recommend reading the following manga: The Gamer, Overlord, and The Legendary Moonlight Sculpture.

This would be much better if instead of "Lord Walker" it began with "Lord -=#W33dd00d420#=-[RUS], wonderful to have you back."

If you like this, check out Thursday Next. Great books about what happens to the characters in novels when no-one's reading. Gets real meta.
ReallyGoodBee
I once had a nightmare about a story I never finished. The characters were stuck in this endless loop without conclusion and it scared them.
AbsoluteFuckingWaffle
That is some really fucking neat AI.

Speaking of which, when is Westworld Season 2?

Sometime in Spring 2018 is the last I've heard

That is one humdinger of a story there, partner. Shall we drink to the lady in the white shoes?

That's one well-equipped shop in the first panel... They even have a plumbus in there!

Oh gods it's so full of awesome stuff *gasp* is that the never-ending story!?

I can’t remember the name, but there’s a book with a similar idea where people play a mmo that’s actually a real world somewhere else

NPCs, perhaps?
jeejeejerrycotton
Oh yeah I think I've read it; it was one of the Berenstein Bears books, right?

Heroes Die by Matt Stover. Good book. I keep meaning to pick up the sequels but I never quite got round to it.
DaedelusMuse
Epic? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_(Kostick_novel)
StonesOnTheHill
"Mogworld" is a little like that.
KanyeWesticularCancer
No not quite but close. It’s sort of dystopian. Everyone plays the game and you get taken away if you lose a tournament.
CapitalistFrog
Epic?
KanyeWesticularCancer
Yeah I think that’s it.

Would make me more sentimental if the "lords'" actual names weren't "capslock17" and "bebekillr".

I went through a joke characters phase in WoW. "Help us, Mancopter! You're our only hope!".

If and when FFXIV dies, there will be a storm of /mdance so strong that a calamity the likes of Dalamud would happen.
Teevo83
I hope that's not for a long time yet. I just started with 4.0 and I'm loving it.
ignimbrite
Put it this way: FFXI came out in 2002, 2 years BEFORE WoW, and only stopped receiving story updates in 2015.
leonbloodbane
Like when it was destroyed the first time?

I heard it comes out in winter 2018
tzxAzrael
yeak, "winter '18" is jan/feb/march-ish. Jp TV describes it this way. US tv is the same; "fall" and "winter" of the 2017-2018 tv schedule.
tzxAzrael
and then come september, it's the fall/winter of the 2018-2019 tv season.

Nooo this overlord.... http://i2.wp.com/haruhichan.com/wpblog/wp-content/uploads/Overlord-tv-anime-visual.jpg
SaikyoStyle
Is it good? What genre is it?
mokzin
it's called isekai. Where someone goes to another world. Overlord is pretty good.
PandraPierva
Its just alright. Its a MMO power fantasy
neoritter
Objectively, it's alright. Subjectively, it's funny as an MMO gamer.
neoritter
Genre, ANN has it as action, fantasy, sci-fi. It's basically another protag transported to another world anime; game world is alt fad though
neoritter
So think, Sword Art Online, Log Horizon, Grimgar, etc.

IRateYourChristmasSelfies
Does it count as a death if you simply cease to be? Would you be more, or less angry if this was your fate?
InexplicablyAvailableUsername
I believe my death will essentially be me ceasing to be. I'm okay with that.
pibalo
Interedtkng responses here. I think death and "ceasing to be" are very different. Death involves the act of dying. (1/)
pibalo
After your brain and thoughts and self end, your body decomposes and you remain in the memories of others. Death and ceasing to be are (2/)
pibalo
very different things (3/3)
InexplicablyAvailableUsername
You can die without the idea of you dieing.
TheType95
Dying is basically just a living system being rendered non-functional, I feel it makes no difference whether a piece of metal has been /
TheType95
fired through your cranium, intersecting with and disrupting your brainstem, or half your body is teleported away, or the Universe you are /
TheType95
occupying has been disrupted sufficiently to destroy you. If your body/mind is represented by a configuration in a memory storage medium, /
TheType95
disrupting that medium is the cause and reason of your death. Plain and simple.
Maraak
Buddy that is what death *is*, as far as we can tell. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something or decide not to face it.
howaboutthisonethen
Think the question you're looking for is "What happens when you die"
TheGrayLanternsApathy
Now I'm thinking about City of Heroes, and I'm sad.
BossCedar
ME too, buddy, me too.
skarnlonewolf
Its not the devs that killed CoH. It's NCSoft. Devs were still working on it, the game was slightly profitable. The community was strong.
itsybitsyspider
Sounds kind of like what happened to Champions. It got gutted and just kinda sputtered.
VivTheKitsune

We're coming up on the 5th anniversary of the shutdown. NCSoft can eat all the dicks.

I still have one of my boxes for it. I wish there would be a new game like it. Don’t even mention Champions.
SayWhatYouMeanMeanWhatYouSay
Well buddy, have I got some optimistic news for you! https://cityoftitans.com/ Still in production, and likely a ways off, but there's hope.
PSfanatic
Still have my city of villains box kicking around. Made me sad when I found it and remembered I couldn't play.
FirstAidPoetry
I hear you. Put mine in storage after the last move. Have a collage screenshot of my last characters though!
PandraPierva
I didn't mind champions myself, but that was when it was F2P. CoH was pretty awesome
Berethian
Ultima Online. City of Heroes. World of Warcraft. Everquest II. And others. Not all are dead, but the... heart... is lost.
Iliekbirbs
I play on a free server on Ultima Online. Wanted to come back but not to what UO is now. I miss COH a lot.
Mooboy2000
I still play Everquest, been there since the Luclin expansion, always go back every little bit. it's my first mmo home.
Berethian
For sure it's still around, but the heart of it is gone. Some with WoW. Millions of players, but no heart.
Mooboy2000
That's actually why I've been playing FFXIV:ARR, love final fantasy anyway, and depending on the server the community is awesome and helpful
Berethian
I miss the early days of MMOs, where you had solid communities and people invested in the game. WoW killed that, sadly.
Berethian
I had trouble finding a good community with FFXIV:ARR - the people I'd bonded with in FFXIV were no longer playing in ARR.
AheagoAmigo
That game died so tragically. Devs being bitter towards one another and everything going downhill fast. I miss Paragon City.
ThatTransformersDude
It was a fun game, even with the hundreds of DBZ looking players
RydWolf
What about the developers? Last I heard NCSoft just came into the office while they were working on the next patch and said to shut it down.
AheagoAmigo
One of the things I heard was "Statesman" and "Positron" had a falling out over the game going F2P and including in game micro-transactions
AheagoAmigo
Then one of them got pissy, left the company and went to found their own and make the Champions Online mmo
RydWolf
It was 4-5 years between Jack Emmert leaving to do Champions Online and NCSoft shutting down Paragon Studios. Game went f2p in 2011.
Counterfit
I'm a little disappointed that I never got to play it, and I found out too late that Paragon City was in Rhode Island
dakotaraptor
I still think about it every day.

chrisat928
When an MMO is dying they should program random NPCs to know it and they start freaking out.
UnluckyScarecrow
When FFXIV launched it was terrible, so before it rebooted they put a meteor into the game world and it canonically destroyed everything
UnluckyScarecrow
For some time before the servers closed, the meteor hung in the sky of the game world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XU1x2WNmpU
BH5432
What they should do is bring out a last patch that makes the game playable as a single player.
samtherat6
Or have the employees manually give them responses.

When an MMO is dying there are no programmers left.

All npcs band together and attack the players, a week before this they short change you in shop transactions and upgrades and put on gear.

When Planetside 1 was about to end, the dev's integrated an apocalyptic meteorstorm which killed everyone. Epic way to end a game.

I mean they kinda did that with the original FFXIV? They made the lead up to the shut down part of the story. In this link I'm posting, (1/)
lightningboltkid1
They also flooded the noncombat cities with Mobs of monsters and essentially threw parties watching Bahumat get closer. (I play ARR)
nyaore
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsbjLZA6nCk <-- Video in case anyone is curious. This was towards the end of 1.0.
nyaore
Yep! I joined in 2.4 but watching the videos people took of the end of 1.0 was magical. (Nice to see a fellow FFXIV player!)
nyaore
go to the 5 minute mark. They made an entire cinematic for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgEg8kXmifo (2/2)
ZaWithDude
FF is not at all my thing, but when someone isn't trying to shove it in my face, I can appreciate a good cinematic. Was good. 5/7
whitewater0034
Never played the game, but that made me choke up slightly!
Anarric
So this made it look like the player characters were ported to the next FF game then? Or was it just a pure wipe and shutdown with a sendoff
LiquidMilk
They were relaunching the game, so the current world ended while all essential characters got ported to the relaunch :)
Anarric
That is totally the best way to do it..hats off to them https://media.giphy.com/media/D6WuLOKOpR2fK/giphy.gif

Isn't that basically what the Cataclysm was?
sugarcannolifudgeilisticzabigliodoughnculous
WoW Beta ended with the invasion of the Legion, endless Dreadlord and Infernal spawns in the capitals and generally all around.

Nothing to worry about, at least until Blizz comes up with another game that makes them at least as much money each month.
MouthSpiders
Haha one of my favorite events was the WotLK event, with the zombies and the plague. That was fun
WillTheFifth
They did that with FFXI when they did a massive overhaul. Asteroid in the sky getting closer and bigger until the server shutdown.
Oldmemedigger
You mean FFxiv..
Dainslaif
FFXIV, not FFXI. They also canonically explained how the world didn't really end when it relaunched.
