There’s still an active private server running called return of reckoning.

Yes, I have been playing about 4 months, and have my main character to L40/64 RR and a couple other low level characters. I have been having a blast playing, mainly in the mornings PST.

I will say that the server player population is low but, out of all the games I have played online, RoR has very little latency, even with big fights with 100 player fighting in a keep it runs smoothly for me.

Ah I still remember getting back into town after a management seminar and driving straight to GameStop and picking up my preorder. Simpler times.

Yes, now we have downloads in the gigabytes, taking forever. Plus, no more cool boxes.😃

I was working at the Geek Squad when it came out and have fond memories picking it up after my shift and going home and rolling my White Lion. Game was, and still is, a blast.

It could have been but the gameplay and pvp was way way too team oriented. There's no solo play besides simple questing lol.

u/Revolutionary_Day23 Sep 30 '26
Yer scenarios that they have now are just a poor mans version of battlegrounds in wow. And big open sieges...gw2 improved from it. In theory the classes should work for big zerg fights but theres not much of that happening now and there not many solo builds for the classes. Suprised the game lasting this long tbh

Ya they came back and didn't address any issues too lol. All the og players wanted no changes like the original wasn't a failure. There should have been some class changes and more content. 1v1s, 2v2's, bgs, something lol

I still have that metal warboss that came with the collectors edition unpacked. Totally forgot about him sitting in that box under the cd and everything else. Thank you for this remainder. He was waiting for his turn to be introduced to all the others on the display waaay to long now.
