Rage of Mages 2 (online RPG multiplayer server)

[igroglaz]

Hiho!

For past 5 years I maintain https://rom2.ru - free open-source multiplayer server in Rage of Mages 2 - oldschool classic (MMO)RPG. hidden gem of the golden age of RPGs.

Recently we have a new season with some interesting, roguelike-inspired mechanics:

Reborn: When moving to a new server, your character undergoes a reset, keeping only essential items and stats.

Reclass: Transform your character by reaching max experience, unlocking new classes.

Ascension: Overcome great challenges by ascending Amazon and Witch classes, and earn unique rewards - the Golden Crown and the Staff of the Great Mage.

If you want to try some "new" oldies-goldies game - RoM2 might be a good choice

How this game multiplayer works? Does it works as a persistent world or what?

 

[igroglaz]

It's a very unusual game. Your characters are persistent, but they have adventures on maps that change every 1-2 hours.

It's complete "client-server" technology, so no cheating is possible.

Sounds interesting, i think i'll try

I tried this last night and got disconnected from the server about 13 times before I gave up. Is it always that unstable?

What about evil islands? The "sequel" to rage of mages?
Is that one no good?

tbh i have a sensation that Evil Islands is more liked than RoM 1/2

Well, I do like it more myself.

Very strange. People play at our server from all over the world - from USA, Europe and Asia. I myself play from Israel

Evil Islands is a great game, but it lacks proper multiplayer support due to the absence of client-server technology. This makes it prone to cheating when played over the internet. On the other hand, Rage of Mages 2 is a client-server game, where cheating is impossible.
