“ARISE NOW, YE FIRST GENERATIONS!” I need you guys to tell me about your experiences playing Online Fighting. Don’t just tell me about lore, tell me about what it was like playing it, what interactions with the other players were like, any memories you have of it. And please, give me as much information as you can. I need all the details I can get. Tell me in depth about YOUR experiences playing that game.
The reason I am making this topic is because, in English class (which is reading and writing class for those of you who don’t live in an English-speaking country) I am going to have to write about a “community” that I am a part of. Being the chronically online and socially inept person I am, I chose you guys: Arcane Odyssey’s player base (since this is by far the “community” I am most familiar with). I was supposed to do an interview with one of the community members, but none of the people I tried asked to interview ever responded. So, I decided to just start making topics like these, since the real reason why I would need an interview is to have quotes from someone to put in the final paper of this assignment.
I actually interviewed one inside Arcane Odyssey maingame, very chill guy, I asked him was it toxic back then? And he said, “Toxicity has increased now but it wasn’t that much different, other than having a lot of fun for a game.”
extremely buggy, swimming didn’t work for me atleast at some point, fighting styles were the old magic (every player used fighting styles), no storyline (atleast from my memory unless I somehow missed it), you got fire curse at the volcano that looks like || near spawn (just looked like rectangular prisms stacked on top of each other), the gate to the whatever location looked like a lego bridge without a gate, there was no toxicity at all imo, you could see the entire map from spawn since there wasn’t really any fog and stuff
(don’t take my word for 100% on everything, it was a LONG time ago so I’m bound to be wrong on my memories a lot)
It was a pretty typical magic game for the time. I think it utilized that stupid magic spinner thing, map was a town by the ocean and uhh… yeah, no, that’s all I remember.
Actually, magic (or in this case curses) was obtained by touching the corresponding curse cube located on one of the islands when it spawned. You had to be a certain level or otherwise you couldn’t collect the curse
