Any anime-mmorpg similar to ToS, but.. better managed?

Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy playing ToS which is why I said “better managed”. ToS feels unique and one of a kind and I would love to play it more but sadly things like afk farmers, exploiters and bots ruin the experience. Compared to jToS, iToS is a far cry in service and quality.

In the meantime, I would like to try other anime-like mmorpg that is managed by a better publisher and maybe come back to iToS once things start to improve more.

I have already played FF14 online but don’t really like the tab-target combat system. (Another reason why I like ToS is the free-combat like Diablo 2 instead of the traditional mmorpg-type combat)

I know they don’t directly affect my gaming experience, but they are indirectly affecting the game economy and inflating silver though… Will be tough for legit players to earn silver.

Well you can try Dragon Nest, best combat system imo. What sucks in this game is that it’s p2w (stat based costumes), and really grindy af.

MMOS look like a copy paste from each other nowadays. BNS, Revalation, etc.

Other games that looks different like tos or elsword ends up like a disappointment with non existent optimization, no pvp balance, unbalanced classes, etc.

If you are an adult about 25 years of age then its time for you to retire to mmo since we wont get something good as an mmo nowadays. All are cash grabs and overhyped advertised games that doesnt deliver.

That does seem to be the direction many new mmorpg are heading these days… over-hyped before release and then gone within a year after release while everyone start looking into the next big overhyped mmorpg and the cycle continues… I don’t play as much as I used to in the past, which is why I still only have 1 character in iToS… Rerolling and alts is just not something for me. Despite all the negatives about ToS, I still enjoy it though if IMC can improve the game more, the better.

Being an adult will not stop me from watching anime and playing pc games haha. And sometimes after binge watching an anime, I just feel like playing an “anime-mmorpg” despite having tons of games on steam which I have yet to complete.

Same it wont stop me but I would prefer to play normal pc games after tos shuts down from now on. As for anime well all I do is to rewatch after finishing those anime that ended that season. Nothing much to do than shitpost and struggle to watch a new anime.

MMO is not what it used to. It is time for me to move on and wake up from my dreams. My money can take me elsewhere.

All mmo have the same pattern now. Overhyped due to advertisement that wont deliver and in the end just the same cash grabs.

No, there really isn’t. Most MMOs are sh*t, especially ones out of Korea; which emphasize all of more of outdated 90s values, RNG gear upgrading and etc, unbalanced pvp, pay2win, whale catching, anti-megaservers, idle gameplay, sexism, bewbtrapz, bots/hackers/goldsellers that aren’t dealt with and so on.
FF14 is an interesting time/money waster that seems well managed but I dislike subs because I have better things to do than focus only on one game. Combat also gets stale after a while and the animation is meh.
You can see if Wakfu is improved any, I haven’t though. Management is fine it just didn’t have enough to do in it for me. Was entertaining while it lasted but I was really hoping it’d fill that place in my heart Final Fantasy Tactics did.
Guild Wars 2 is the best and easiest MMO to get into on the market imo with the best animations and freedom of movement and more stuff to do than just quest and kill stuff. It’s an American game though so not much Anime to be had for you. Also has auto-tab targeting or action camera.
Elder Scrolls Online is decent as well, I play that time to time very casually though. No tab targeting and lotta stuff to explore~ much improved since it’s awful premature launch. Americans do a much better job managing MMOs in the long run.
Path of Exile is the new Diablo; might be overwhelming to some though with skill tree. I get lonery playing that though since people generally solo.
The Secret World is pretty old nowadays but it’s an MMO that actually has amazing writing for once. Wish they’d make a second one because that is the kind of world MMOs really need to help save it.
Whatever I haven’t mentioned hasn’t built up enough attention to be worth saying.

There is actually an MMO I wish I could play outa Japan but I don’t think it’s going elsewhere else anytime soon if ever. Only because the offline game it’s a spinoff of is so damn perfect though~ which is Dragon’s Dogma.

Elsword is actually doing balancing patches(well, kr does) like every weekly update, ever since that DFO girl got added to the playable characters roster.
Sad problem is they add trice the broken skills every new character/class/system.

If anything I’m still waiting for Closers to release in internationally(NA/SEA whichever comes first).


I you liked SDGO(SD Gundam Online), CosmicBreak2(CosmicLeague in NA)

A 3rd person shooter with girls and robots is also not a bad play, compared to the first CosmiBreak game the graphics got a huge upgrade, despite their much more dead server compared to ours.

Revelation Online is coming out very soon.

But as you say, there’s nothing quite like ToS. Enjoy it while it lasts.

You might as well switch to a Triple-A FPS game or a MOBA for this year; there’s nothing like ToS (On the PC) coming out anytime soon. There’s Peria Chronicles, but you likely won’t be seeing a Western/International Open Beta for that until 2018.

I grew up with Maplestory Tespia (Only 2nd job advance before Asiasoft) and Naruto anime back in the days and I guess that is how it all started for me… Got me into the whole f2p mmorpg craze, always looking for the next big f2p mmorpg to play once I got bored of the current mmorpg.

Fast-forward many years later, mmorpg became over-saturated and ToS is now the only mmorpg left that gives me the same vibe/feel I used to have when playing Maplestory…

Now I just hope IMC buck up and turn iToS into a game well deserved to be played for everyone, I would hate to see such a unique gem go to waste due to poor management.

I will probably be sticking to normal PC games if iToS ever shutdown too. I didn’t build a gaming pc with all the latest hardware just to play f2p mmorpgs…

Actually I do have plenty of AAA games installed on my PC… Battlefield 1, Dark Souls 3, Witcher 3, GTA5 and many more… But you know sometimes I just get the anime-mmorpg itch.

Peria Chronicles look very interesting with the monster mechanics! I used to play this game Azure Dreams on the PS1 and this game kinda reminds me of that with monster fusion and stuff… But yeah 2018 would be too little too late for me. Interests would probably wane by then with new or better games released. Star Citizen, Cyberpunk 2077.

GOTY for me:

Not anime like, but works on the same engine as ToS LOL.

great mind think alike

me like how u think

me love FF:tactic too

huehuehue~

They supposedly added more content to it, and it was still never ready for a testing phase in the first place since all of the core features weren’t complete. Might get a CBT late this year.
