You know the worst part about playing a game?
playing the game.
Thankfully Metin 2 has a handy dandy bot that plays the game for you.
You just need to pay to unlock the auto heal function...
Also there's a quest you complete by using the cash shop.
Oh Gameforge, you and your schenanigans.
Thanks to the Patreon supporters and Twitch subs for keeping the channel going :)

Oh my friend, you have just touched the tip of the iceberg. There is a set of quests given to you by biologist, that requires you to farm fairly rare items. At first you have to turn in like 10 items or so, but you can only turn in one item per day... and to top it off, he can either accept the item or reject it. This way it can take you up to a month to complete a single quest.
@Artass937
@Artass937 2 года назад
@Failed Society There is more. Back in a day, i was essentially walking enclyclopedia and let me tell you, the biologist quest is nothing compared to some other stuff. But even so, game used to be pretty fun just because you had to spend time to actually get somewhere. But few years ago it was ruined by adding more and more p2win shit and little to no content. It hasn't aged well to say the least.
@Vivo-cp2rb
@Vivo-cp2rb 2 года назад
dont forget that you can buy 2 items for real money: 1 item to let you turn 1 more questitem instantly and the other to raise the chance of it being accepted. Yes. Raise the chance. Not a guarantee :)
@Artass937
@Artass937 2 года назад
@@Vivo-cp2rb Oh boy i totally forgot about those. Honestly i were to pick what was the most upseting thing you had to pay for, it would be adding bonuses to the items. Not only did you have to pay in order to add a bonus to your item, the initial bonus almost always sucked but it also had a chance to fail to add the bonus. And when you finally got your full item (item with 5 bonuses) you had to buy this other item that would reroll the ones you already have and hope you get something good. Fun times.
@pedrosilvamusician
@pedrosilvamusician 2 года назад
What about the skill books? 55 books to put a skill at G level where you could only turn in 1 book per day and there was a huge chance to fail it so it would easily take you 6 months of daily book reading just to try and get it and books were mega expensive too
@Artass937
@Artass937 2 года назад
@@pedrosilvamusician Yes, some of them were expensive, but that depends on the class. If you played warrior (most popular class) you had to cough up a lot of money to max out your skills. But honestly G ranking is walk in the park compared to a P ranking. You had to use a soul stone and you had to watch your reputation lvl if you didn't want to loose your shit.

My first MMO when I was 8 year old. When I switched to World of Warcraft 5 years later, the ability to jump completely amazed me. The sad part is, it's true, nostalgia carries me as an adult back on an M2 server every few years, but unlinke other games from my childhood, I find it horrible after reaching Level 5. The Soundtracks of Map1 and Map2 are complete bangers though. But editing this sentence made me realize how sad it is that for almost twenty years these zones have been referred to as "Map1 and Map2" by virtually every player and also community managers and developers. They have actual zone names, but nobody cares about those completely meaningless words.

Metin2 had some really cool ideas for a game that came out in 04, that I'd love to see in new MMO's. There's multiple nations you can start in, like RED, YELLOW, BLUE. And you can travel them and it's open season on you. You also can't talk to them UNLESS you manage to find language books and learn their language, otherwise it comes up as jibberish.

This game rarely ever gets into the mainstream English-speaking spotlight and it's endearing to see it. Not only is this a childhood game for me that I keep coming back to over the years, but I'm currently playing it more properly than ever and grinding it harder than ever before. I woke up one day and felt like injecting some routine into an unstable life: "Man, I really just want to do the exact same fucking thing every day.", so I picked Mt2 back up for that grind I can't quite get with any modern game. I play in the OFFICIAL GIGACHAD Spain server with around 2,000 hours and counting (yeah pretty hardcore I know) Unregulated player interactions, lawless like Tibia, entirely player-driven economy, a grind that always shows results in the end and a hell of a lot to do and learn in a cult-like community that still plays every day just makes me feel right at home like no other game...

This was my first 3D and my first MMO game. One of the very few such games that got translated to my native language (Middle and Eastern Europe gang 💪). As such, I adored it and spent lots of time playing, getting scammed by older players, getting killed by mobs that were too powerful compared to me and giving up on the grind sometime between lvl 20-25 before starting a new character to enjoy those early levels again. It taught me some valuable lessons too: 1. Some players are major assholes. They feel no remorse hurting and using you. Beware games with forced PvP. 2. If you play as a female character, you will get unwanted private messages. If you foolishly admit to being a girl irl, or even more foolishly admit to being underage, you will get even more disturbing messages. 3. People who spend money on games look better and they are stronger. 4. I suck at games (I mean, it couldn't be that the game is shit, no no no, I must just be bad). 5. Roleplaying is fun, even with limited character customization and emote options.

Metin2 was great back in the day. -Just 4 classes (Werewolf was added recently) -Not pay to win but paying will definitly get advantage (Gameforge wasn't the owner) -Lots of grinding -You didn't start with an OP weapon (Just regular +0 sword and go f*** yourself) -Really agressive towards new players, didn't explain much as it does today. -Private servers was the very best of this game, servers that offers everything, had most fun in this servers. -GREAT commerce and economy. -Amazing language design, depending what kingdom you choose if you encounter someone from other kingdom you wouldn't be able to understand them unless you read some skill books... -No auto-healing, i remember destroying keyboards pressing "1" -It really is a hard game, very f*cking hard game, even more grinding than black desert. -You can clean the quests out of the screen by pressing "ctrl+q" -Multi-account its 100% necessary, you could not get to higher levels without 2 or more accounts or characters... You need 1 farming items character that will supply your main character, you need another account playing at the same time with the "chaman" class giving your main character critical and mitigation damage buffs, also you want to have another character that can attract you hordes so you can farm with your main character, you will need another level 20 - 21 character to farm horse medallion to get the normal, armored and military horses (Will need like 20 medallion per horse or more) and after that you will need a team to help you complete the armored and military horse quests, which are pretty much obligatory since armored and military horse have a higher defense-attack rate/damage, armored horse gives you the ability to attack while mounted (Useful and necessary at medium-high levels) and military horse let's you use some horse skills. -Combo book system, language book system, fishing level's, skill levels based on pure luck... (Once your skill reach out level 17 you can master it, but it will master randomly between skill level 17 and 21, making your last skill master at level 99 or above) and even skill system once mastered it, guess what? book based skills... fun part it's that you can only read a book once a day, and it can "fail" the reading... (Yes everything can fail), only way to get book skills? destroying meteors ("Metins") and guess what, the book skill dropping it's random, you can get a book for a skill you don't have (obviously, can't read it unless you have that character and that skill). oh, but it doesn't stop there, you need 10 succesful book skill reading to upgrade your skill to "Grand Master" and it gets worse here... once you Grand Master the skill you need "Soul Stones" to upgrade it 10 levels more, Soulstones only get dropped from Meteors lvl40 and above, but wait, it doesn't end there, Soulstones reduce your karma, with bad karma any player can attack you against your will, and if you die you have a chance to drop anything in your inventory EVEN equipped items... MY GOD THIS GAME WAS MADE FOR MASOCHISTS. it was great, you could lost everything throwing things at the blacksmith, and needed to administrate everything, go and kill enemys at a certain level or you will never get an essential blacksmith item EVER, it's not like they throw the same items over and over again, there are certain specific items to certain specific enemys, and if you happen to miss those items you are lost, good luck grinding and buying it to another player. And actually NO, you don't kill everything until you find your hunting mob quest, they spawn at VERY, VERY Specific places AND ONLY THERE and yes, the hunting map lies a lot, remember that i needed to change channels until the enemy i need spawns, kill it and change again.

Oh the one mobile game I played did that. Should have been a red flag but I was young and inexperienced. It was easy to raise the monsters and train them for battle as first. Quickly it became the food and stuff done for free were useless. You’d be tapping 3x times a day for a week to level up once. I lost a tenner to buying new currency to make my monsters stronger enough to take the next dungeon. Then I realised I’d be paying a tenner every other day to level up at a rate considered worthy. Then I realised soon that wouldn’t be enough. That’s when I noped on out of there and erased the game.

I only play FF14, ESO, FO76 and STO (Star Trek online.) On and off, depending on what I feel like at the time. I enjoy MMOs when I’m in the right mood. The mood where I’m okay with never having a choice. I don’t have factions to join or choose to kill npcs if I want. FF14 is being problematic because of the story. The PC has goddess-given powers as a blessing. She has a strength beyond mortals. But there is a fighting tournament between four allied nations. Now Sophie, my blessed hero has already pledged her allegiance to Limsa Lominsa and it an officer in their military. Though she’s been helping Ishgard with their war against the dragons lately. Anyway… I feel because of her Blessing giving her an unfair advantage Sophie should recuse herself. Or in the very least fight for her chosen nature. But no the game decided that the Isgardians persuaded her to fight for them. It irritates me to know I’ll win on behalf of Ishgard because I have an unfair advantage. One day I’ll get back to it, but I resent the situation.

Wow I didn't expect this video. Metin used to be THE MMO here in Czech republic, along with 4Story, which I massively preffered, I never actually gotten much into Metin, just few hours. It would be absolutely great if you made a video about 4Story as well. Unfortunately it also had quite a downfall since the golden era - lots of good things were removed, many bad things were added, so a huge amount of players moved from the official servers to old school servers like 4Ancient, which is great imo and combines about all the good stuff from the past but also adds some new great stuff and it's well maintained etc. About Metin, I also think you don't have to click to attack, afaik nobody does it that way, you can just hold spacebar to auto-attack in the air, no targeting needed, which also introduces positioning to the equation. Also, you can learn several skills (buffs and attacks that do various effects like stun, aoe etc) from the weapon teachers, you just probably clicked the one, that was for some other class. And I think nobody really uses the click to run mechanic, so the collision never bothered me really

I never really played further than level 30ish and hit a road some time where it's just endless grinding and hoping you won't destroy your items when trying to upgrade it further. It was just a fun game when everything else was running dry of content, that was just mostly gambling and grinding. Nothing very special for a long term MMO.

I remember marrying a cute ninja girl lmao, and after school I would always log in as soon as I got home and we went on countless idiotic and sensless quest killing wolves of all colors and sizes, chatting about how we were meant for eachother because we had similar ninja builds and shit. This went on for three months or so, It felt so fucking good to log in and have my girl to tell all my shit to, greatest months of my life. Suddenly, one day, she simply stopped logging in. Needless to say, I was devastated, not long after that I stopped playing the game because it got moring without my ninjaboo. Fast foward a few years later, I found out it was my uncle, oh well.

The most played mmorpg game in Turkey between 2007-2012. I'm 22 now and it still excites me. In Romania, Turkey, Poland, in these countries, Metin2 was played a lot, and the game was played on private servers too much, apart from official servers. After Gameforge followed a pay to win route, the number of players dropped rapidly and the number of cheats increased a lot. It cannot be said that it is a AAA game, but it is a very special game for those who play it. The common point of everyone who plays Metin2 is that nobody liked the blacksmith.

Oh man, this brings a lot of memories. Regarding the resolution, there used to be standalone launchers bundled with the local versions of each region/country that would update the game and let you adjust things like resolution, but it seems like those things aren't in the Steam version. And they probably won't do anything about it because this game never was one where things got fixed, even during its prime time. And with melee weapons you need to hold the spacebar to attack instead of clicking with the mouse, otherwise your character will try to run after the mobs you knocked back and you'll lose the chance to keep dealing damage to the other mobs in that party. I am actually very fond of this mechanic, you just keep swinging your sword and meanwhile damage everything it collides, and the mobs keep coming back at you. I think I could comment on every little thing you mentioned here in this video, this was the only thing we'd play back then... Thanks for the nostalgia.

Few more inovative mechanics= no level restriction on zones, when I was a kid I always went and explored endgame areas by foot, hoping to find something rare i could sell or smthing. - You wouldnt get a good enough gear from quest rewards to level up, you would either have to make yours or buy from players, so in this sense, max level players were extremely rare - getting a first horse meant going in a suicide mission into a deadly monkey dungeon, u would die like 10x at least till u got your first horse medal, also selling them was a good way to make money for new players since it was too tedious even for high level players -Fishing was playing a slot machine whether you get a pearl which you can sell for a bang or nothing, you could also sell tickets to this slot machine for smaller buck - nothing was ever given to you for free, not even skill levels, if you wanted something, you had to work hard for it, and getting it felt awesome That said, the combat was awful, the class imbalance was awful.

Dungeons are done solo, quests aren't worth doing and there's no storyline. The only great thing about it is the soundtrack, private server or not.

Programming-wise Metin2 is practically equivalent to a heaping pile of dogshit. You touched on this a bit, but the situation is so much worse. Here are some examples: You have collision with literally everything, whereas enemies are collision-free. Enemies can walk through almost literally any obstacle, including water and the steepest of hillsides. The only exception to this is bridges and this is exploited by some players (it allows them to hit enemies constantly in a more confined area). Also people make the argument that this game used to run on practically anything, but reality is far from it. If there are hundreds of enemies around you the game slows down dramatically even on modern machines. To say the game is unoptimized would be an understatement. Also also damage is sometimes computed without considering elevation (based on a 2D grid instead of a 3D grid). Combine this with the fact that enemies can literally walk up 90 degree angles, you're in for a bad time. Also also also enemy damage is computed at the beginning of their animation whereas your damage is computed upon impact. You can literally die from a ranged attack that hasn't even landed. Heck the shooter doesn't even have to fire the fucking arrow, them drawing their bow is perfectly enough to deal damage. Also*4 (even I'm getting tired) depending on the servers and the number of attacking enemies there can be a ridiculously long delay between damage being dealt and damage being registered. In other words you can literally die from the attack of an enemy that you killed 3-4 seconds ago (that's about the longest delay I've experienced). By that time you walked away from the battlefield but surprise, that last enemy had a pretty deadly attack that decided to undo the rules of space and time. These are only the most notable "features" with fights, there are a lot more similar "features". Steam compatibility is also(*5 lol) limited, you can't buy certain items if you play via the Steam client and not the Gameforge launcher. Oh God Gameforge... Don't even get me started on their fucking anti-cheat engine... I still love this game, so much nostalgia. Fucking weaponsmith is pure PTSD

Completely agree. Their anti-cheat banned me twice because i was fishing for too long, and the support doesn't care. And speaking about anti-cheat, there were so many bots everywhere, it was unstoppable. And to ban a bot, oh boy it was so difficult, not only you had to video record it, but you also had to have the chat + inventory + something else opened. (on Metin UK) Also currently Steam version has issues, for example you cannot change channels immediately, you have to wait 5-10 minutes. Jesus christ i don't understand how this game is still alive, for real. Are people still giving money to this scammer named Gameforge ?

Grinding for months to get to lvl 55 and then discovering that I could get to this lvl in hours if I paid real money for a ticket to special leveling tower where mobs had high respawn rate and were easy to kill. But many good memories there as well, getting my first horse and then magic (mythic? not sure how it was called) horse, fishing and getting my first white pearl and selling it for 1.5 mil yang, finding my first Full Moon Sword and destroying it at blacksmith because I tried to upgrade it to +7 without safety paper(not sure how it was called).

You could say that is a factor that make people care about this game nevertheless to forgive graphics and clunky mechanics, human component and role playing was really important in this game, people where creating clans or gremios, making daily horse missions that required other 20 people to help you, and it really didn’t felt like you needed to search for them as if there were nobody, right now mmos are struggling to integrate the is human component because grinding in some feels more like a solo one player base experienced that in the form you advanced you less have to interact with them, and there’s botting too, now mmos also come with an integrated tool to play auto, so in the difficultness of the game, people really got into role playing

As a young laddie, growing up in Eastern Europe, Romania to be precise, every boy in elementary school would talk about this game. No joke, this game was bigger in my country than World of Warcraft. Metin and Metin 2 were THE MMOs back then. I remember several classmates talking all about the classes and quests and some even talking lore(?). What I do not remember is why I never played it myself. From what I recall, it was either because my PC couldn't run it or there was some kind of error/bug preventing me from creating an account or logging in. Regardless, one time circa 2010-2011, while at the birthday party of a friend from school, he booted up his pc and let me try the game. I remember running around killing some bears and boars(? Or maybe those were wolves? Idk) and being blown away by how cool and real it felt. Despite my amazement, I never revisited the game. I only know Metin from what others have told me and from those 10 minutes I actually tried it myself. I would later start playing WoW (shortly after BfA, started playing as joke but stuck around and quit 3 months ago) Edit: my childhood memories remember this game's movement being faster, and the graphics being better, although a bit more pixilated. Edit 2: 18:30 wtf I love Metin 2 now

Metin2 was the first MMO that i played for a long time. I remember grinding A LOT to buy some Books from other people, so i could upgrade one of my Ninja skills to the max. Each book was like 800k in game currency (which was a lot), and i got 5. Before using the Books, someone told me that the books would fail, it would be better to buy some cash shop potions to make the books work. Deal. My first time spending money in an online game. If i remember well, I bought 1 cash potion for every book that i had. I spent like 10 dollars into it, used a potion, used a book and... it failed. I thought "damn, those do fail, good thing i still have enough". After using all potions and all books, i was still at the same Skill level. All books failed. I didn't have any in game gold because all my gold went into this failed upgrade. Plus i lost 10 dollars. So i did the cool thing, made a ticket to complain about it. The answer was that the potions give us a boost, but it's not a 100% boost. So i asked what % was the boost and the % for the book to work. The answer was: "sorry, we can't answer that". That was my last time playing Metin2.

I started playing this MMO in 2006ish near around when it came out, there was so much drama surrounding the game - corrupt GMs, a closet GM guild, being paid off by gold sellers even enabling GM commands ingame to benefit a select few players. I almost would expect people not to believe me on the last one, but when the commands were leaked ingame, I tried it myself and it worked to level skills to 10 - I never got banned either. It was absolutely mindblowing how much this company was getting away with things. That being said, in the moment I enjoyed the game. It was rare to find free to play combat MMOs at the time that played like this without the tab targetting. I really love the soundtrack besides a few odd duds and the enemy design is great. I check in on the games website now and again to see what's happened since then and it seems like they added mounts outside of the typical art style of the game. The areas and enemies don't really seem to hit the asthetic that the original game had as its charm. The wolfmen don't seem to fit the theme of an eastern MMO like this but if there's something in the lore I'm missing feel free to correct me on this. Make no mistake, this game was incredibly P2W and had a pretty toxic community, but it was also my first MMO. It sticks in my mind a lot, positive social interactions included. I finally stopped playing in 2009 when my account was hacked because I was a dumb 16 year old.

I have been playing from 2005 or 2006, as soon as it came around basically and I still do play from time to time, but on private servers, which honestly did a lot more progress on the game than developers ever did.

This is true. I was also playing it, when all that went down. was there when there was a gigantic 3 way battle in the orc valley, when a certain yellow guild showed up with it's one member, child of the Community manager who had "Game Tester" status, and was able to will any item with any bonus into the game. I was there when you had to pull an entire dungeon with a shop item that pulls anything within visible range, in order to get any XP farmed, and I was there when one of the best/highest player on Karthago accidentally gave all his posessions to the wrong character. Also the infamous horse bug, 3-way bug, and so on. Was my first MMO that I ever played, and it was only bareable because of the people I got to know there. Edit: And I still get nostalgia from the music...
