never ever heard of this channel and saw this appear in my feed. Totally stayed for the nicely paced video, fun and exciting narration and great insight into a game i never heard of!!!!!! Subscribed :)
We're thrilled to see ye had such a blast playing the game. We've been hard at work developing more end-game content, such as a housing system and better quests! See ye around on the High Seas, mate!
This was my first online game and my first "real" game. This was where I learned to type, where I made my best friends and my happiest memories. The best birthday present I ever got was when I sneakily logged on during the day and discovered mom and dad had bought me a VIP subscription. I played for hours every day until they shut the doors and there's a part of me that remembers being twelve years old and roaming the Caribbean as the happiest days of my life. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
@@douglasduda9826 There is a ton of SWG Emulators all running different updates, plus some that add new things. They are pretty populated too. Jedi grind was fun for me, the NGE ruined the game by removing condition of items which ruined the played based economy. Same thing happened to vanguard saga of heroes.
They're fighting the good fight, for real. They fixed a good chunk of the gaps between terrain you can fall through and made fishing actually work. Solid devs and will support whatever they do from here on.
That is actually a shocking fantastic Jack Sparrow impersonation. It probably would have taken me a very long time to realize that it wasn't Johnny Depp voicing him.
This game was great, and I was happy to see that Sea of Thieves did a collab with Pirates as it gave me the warm fuzzies back to this game. I'm glad to see someone trying to save this game like the groups did with City Of Heroes after NCSoft shut down it's servers and refused to sell the code. Just further proof a good game won't die easily.
This game was the original Sea of Thieves for me as a kid. I loved going to the parlor and playing poker. There was just something about playing inn games while a whole in-game world was living and breathing around you that made it a unique experience. Unfortunate that a lot of modern MMO's don't understand the magic involved with that.
It was always comedy gold. I liked this game a lot as a kid. I lolled when Goldtimbers invited you to his guild. He was a long time pillar of the POTCO community for YEARS. Of course he's already level 50 again, and wearing his old outfit.
This game was amazing back in the day. The ship combat was so fun and the weapons were really awesome and varied. The fishing mini game is to this day still my favourite of any game.
You just propelled probably a couple hundred people to get into this game. Made me want to play it until I realized I’m not into this gaming, and you’re so good at pulling me in that I was even planning out my name… you’re good.
He is good. The fact I played this back when it came out also increased the allure... the nostalgia is STRONG. But... I'm just not an MMO guy, anymore. It's too much of a timesink.
@@Psythik Crysis was not an MMO. Unlike MMOs, Crysis did not have to render multiple players in an open world. Even by today's standards, all we have is Sea of Thieves and that game looks cartoonish for a reason. If you want an example of an MMO made with Cry Engine, you can take Star Citizen for example, a buggy mess with no release date on sight.
@@FutaCatto2 Aion Online was also made with Cry Engine, and lord did that game have problems. Sieges would lag the entire server. You had to turn off viewing other player characters in cities and at sieges if you didn't want to lag.
i remember grinding this game so much. i also remember the glitch to get into the fort where no soldiers would spawn in and just walk around. man, this game was bomb
@@FlamespeedyAMVyeah but if they had to pay for all these old game servers then they only make 86.99 billion in revenue when they could make 87.01. They gotta make that .02 percent somehow (this is all sarcasm, fuck disney)
the team behind this game is by far the BEST fan dev team on the 7 seas. they have been adding NEW CONTENT to the game that was CUT from the original, back in its intended glory, PLUS AI fixes and loading fixes, events, new items and weapons, all originally intended to be in the full game but cut due to lack of care by disney! this is worth your time to play, if only to relive the magic that this game offered in its glory days. very grateful to team TLoPO
For anyone watching there is a decent amount of end-game content to do in this game (both original and added by tlopo). It is quite a grind to get there tho. Playing with a guild and doing random stuff is really fun though! I come back to this game every few months, hopefully i see some of you on the seas :)
Thank you for covering this! Pirates Online was an integral part of my childhood and I had no idea it was revived like this! Thanks for not only drawing this to my attention but also for introducing this to a wider audience, see you all out there!
Coming from a guild in the game 🏴☠ - your dive into this is not only entertaining, but genuine! Nice to see that you enjoyed covering this treasured (no pun intended) game. 👍 Fair winds!
It's nice to see that so many MMOs have returned from the grave in the wake of their eventual closure. Seeing you play this and Warhammer: Age of Reckoning in an earlier episode was greatly enjoyable. I've debated about checking this game out long ago before it closed, since there's not a whole lot of Age-Of-Sail style games and RPGs out there, and sometimes I just get that itch to be a pirate that needs scratched.
great video! i wasn't sure what to expect as a first-time viewer, but i was actually impressed with the writing! happy to see you enjoyed your time on TLOPO!
This video is giving life back into the game! Me and my friend started playing and saw players everywhere of all sorts of levels! We even got to participate in a world event with the whole server, it's been a janky but great experience so far. A lot of charm in this game!
Something was really unique and captivating about this game. Was it because I was a kid? Was it just one of those games that simply stood out? Yes yet how does one replicate these experiences... ?
I remember playing this back sometime between 2007 and 2009. Little fuzzy on exactly when, but I was just a boy back then. For me, it's like baby's first MMORPG. The nostalgia from playing the remake is absolutely cathartic, especially since now I can actually progress more in the game than I ever could. The original POTCO had this dumb subscription system and no stores around me ever sold the little gift card things, so the furthest I ever got was somewhere around getting the voodoo doll. I only wish there weren't a max of like 300 people online when I get on the game, I remember Port Royal being filled with dozens of players each either killing NPC's, chatting, helping newbies... now I'll see another player maybe once every 30min and most of the time it's just a brief encounter going opposite directions. Huge thanks to the team behind TLOPO for bringing my childhood back within reach. Also, let's be very clear: I chose this game over Skull and Bones, Sea of Thieves, and even replaying Black Flag. Loving it!
I remember, as a kid, getting in with a ship crew that were much more experienced than I in the game. I felt so lucky that each time we went out on the sea I was getting so much experience and money. It was a little moment of childhood MMO magic that I remember being so excited about. I had similar feelings when I would find friends in Toon Town as well.
I played this game recently! Was such a nostalgia trip. Game crashing bugs and unoptimized lag and all lol. Not Legend's fault, it was the original content XD I remember getting so mad as a kid because I just wanted to play a little before my dad caught on that I wasn't doing homework.
Two of my fondest memories of this game are that one time when the invisible walls bugged out and I was able to swim from one island to another. And another time when I somehow fell off the ship mid combat. This was one of my favorite games as a child, and I'm glad to see it's still going strong.
Loved this game back in the day, i remember unlocking the voodoo doll was a huge achievement for me. i think i got too around level 40 before quitting, man i was so young back then
I played the original game back in 2007 and it was crazy that they shut it down. The Legends of Pirates Online is a testament to how passionate the fanbase is, to the point where the community rebuilt the game back up again and released it for FREE. It's still one of the best pirate games ever made. With the remake a lot of the bugs have been removed and also new features have been added by the moderators, it's great to see. The game is a lot of fun and pretty hilarious at times. I have to agree that the land-based content can seem a pretty grindy, but if you play with other people, it's a lot more engaging. The ship combat on the other hand is absolutely BONKERS. LOL. Especially if you have a busy servers and most people are out at sea engaging in ship combat, it's insane and awesome how crazy it can get. lol. Great times for sure. The player numbers have never really been super high, it's really more of a fan project for the passionate fans of the original game, but if you can get a group of people to play with, it can still be a lot of fun. 💪
Any random addition of Donnie Thornberry screaming as a sound effect to something in the video will result in confusion (a possible rewind) followed by a fit of laughter. Thanks I needed that 🤣.
I think the coolest part of playing in its prime was the Jolly Roger Invasions. When the sky would turn green and creepy music starts to play as the announcement of Jolly Rogers coming in 30 minutes was so rad! And the peak was seeing SO MANY people in one place, all lining the way up to Elizabeth's Manor to defend it from the undead army! It was one of the coolest experiences I've had in any game really! Glad to see you gave it some spotlight and so excited to try out the rewritten version of it!
This, Neopets (and the 30 other clones Gopets, etc), Toon Town Online, Puzzle Pirates, Roblox and Millsberry Online were my literal Childhood. Probably some other older ones too like Newgrounds, Torn City, Alien Adoption, Die2nite etc. Oooo and Adventure Quest, Mech Quest and the other spin offs lol. Also OG Runescape lol No wonder I love Sea of Thieves now :)
I really really love this game, never got to far because I would always get lost or there was to much stuff that required multiple players and the servers wernt always too full back in the day. I'll GUESS I'll just give it another go. THANKS ALOT
Captain Bicard iandcoke is a right character, has some crazy agility right there, and orders a water?! 😂 Elizabeth is a bit... creepy haha! So many parts of this video made me LOL, a classic, quality MitchManix video, absolutely love it! ❤ Will keep an eye on this game for sure
The 2000s, where level design had these big empty halls due to the console and PCs GPU's not being able to draw many textures and vertices on screen at once.
As a long time player, I appreciate that you took the time to actually properly experience the game before starting your review! The game devs put a lot of effort in, and the community loves them for it!
Mitch, may I recommend you try out an old classic that was a hit in South America: Tibia. It's a classic old MMO from the late 90s that is STILL holding strong somehow.
I used to play this game on Windows back in the day when I was in middle school when there were no gaming videos on RU-vid and you had to figure stuff out on your own you kids got it easy nowadays 😂
I played this game back when it first released. I was in middle school. I LOVED this game. It was the kind of mmo I was looking for at that time, since WoW was too pricey for my mother. I hadn't yet discovered RuneScape(that'd be 08 for me). I haven't yet tried the revival, but I watch the videos and they all look really fun. Like the old times.
Sea of Thieves better watch out, there´s a new player in town... XD PS: Have you ever considered checking out Enderal? It´s an amazing rpg that gets nowhere near the attention it deserves
I love how the "pirate code" says its unsportsmanlike to use guns on living humans, but totally fine on undead and animals. Edit: Oh! And cannons are fine as long as you are shooting at another ship. Doesn't matter that you are essentially using a big gun on living humans, those humans are on a boat and deserve whats coming to them!
That's because this game was developed back in the day where it was still heavily frowned upon to shoot other humans in games. Everyone used to crap on GTA because of how violent they were. And with how much of it is in games today, people wonder why there's school shooters and nutjobs who are all under the age of 25. It's because of this!
Im happy this is getting coverage. Yes, diehard fans such as myself have kept this game alive by developing it. Whats even better if that they give you the membership free (I’m guessing it’s because of copyright reasons). That means that deeply rooted childhood pain of not being able to use certain ships, weapons and skills are now healed 😂 Happy playing ya scallywags 🏴☠️
Man, brings back so much memories, I played this as a child with my brothers, one of my bros was extremely addicted to it and maxed out several characters lmao, we always talked about how bummed out it was that it got shut down, then we found the re upload of the game several years later and tried it, brings back so much nostalgia but we couldnt play it for long for obvious reasons lmao.
I played this game as a kid and by far it was some of the most fun I’ve had gaming, looking back at it now I never realized how much depth and sophistication went into such an old game. I was so upset when it shit down because I never got to finish the quest line, but all I really cared about was sailing the great galleon. Either this game was revolutionary for its time or modern pirate games (skull and bones) are quite shit because this game has even more features than skull and bones!! And this game is free and skull and bones is 70!!!! Make that make sense
thank you for shedding light on this, i love playing these games that i grew up with. its truly a blessing to see this, need for speed world, and runescape still up and going in 2023.thank you to the ones that worked hard giving us this nostalgia trip.i will be playing later tonight just to remember some old times
YOOOO THIS WAS THE CRAZIEST BLAST OF NOSTALGIA. I remember playing this game, but I had completely lost track of it until today. Thanks for reintroducing this banger to my life
played this game for many years when it came out and ive been playing tlopo for a few years now its such a great game highly recommend. the community is amazing too.
my favourite part of this game was fishing for the legendary beasts. i was obsessed with atlantis at the time, so there was something magical about the deep dark sea and the possibility of fantastical monsters within them.
i remember grinding so much as a kid to buy the 2nd or 3rd ship option just to find out you needed to be a member to get them (i think it was 10 plus years ago lmao)
I played this for one single afternoon at my grandparents house as a kid, and for some reason have a fond memory of it. It popped in my head the other day and now i see this. Thanks for telling me all about it
I remember my dad agreed to let me have a toon town membership for a couple months. When this came out I created an account and logged in only for Disney to then start charging for a pirates membership as well without our consent. My dad rushed to the bank to have it cancelled. Needless to say that was the end of ever having memberships like that lol
Man me and my brother played this game in beta in like 2006 all the way until it shut down. At first it was pretty barren and extremely bare bones. There used to not be a looting aspect so essentially the sword you started with and the gun were the only 2 weapons you could obtain. Eventually they changed it and added in different armor you could change, and different weapon models that dropped from NPCs. It definitely wasn't pushing the envelope of MMO gameplay but it was entertaining enough that it kept us playing. I'm really happy to see someone brought it back
Dude I was just thinking about this game lol. This game and Star Wars the Clone Wars Adventures were two of my first RPG style games, and my gateway "drug" to SWTOR. I vividly remember being too young to really understand what I was supposed to do in the game, and just killing the undead pirates over and over again lol. Great content, my man!!
I remember this one, - they refused to let me unsubscribe to their services for "my own protection", if I wanted to unsubscribe, I had to come to their offices in person. - I live in f-ing Sweden. So just ended up 'updating' my card information to one that did not exist. Your move, Mouse.
I LOVE THIS GAME SM AS A KID!!!!! I begged my parents to help me make an account when I saw commercials for it on TV. I wrote about it in my first grade journal hehehe
Protip: You can circumvent ship repair costs by picking up a PvP flag. Not sure if that was patched in this emulator, but it was that way when I played.
