Damn Josh hitting me with the ‘oh shoot your parents turned your old room into a sex dungeon’ within the first 60 seconds is, indeed, ‘audience retention’ at its finest.

My parents turned my old room into a TV room with a 100 inch tv on the wall, even though it's a pretty small room. I had to move back a few months ago at 27. So now I have a 100 inch tv on my wall 😂

@Hannah Alexyyour bedroom is now your home theatre. Nice.

@Hannah Alexy On your parent's wall*

OH, IS THAT WHAT THAT MEANT 😭 ...now that you say it, it makes sense, but I didn't catch it at first 😭

bitching about BDSM? I now serioulsy doubt Josh's Britishness

Josh just unlocked a crazy memory. I vividly remember (around the ages of 8-10) logging into the game every month or so, walking around being confused as hell as to what I was even supposed to do, get completely destroyed by random mobs and logging out. I always came back because I was either bored or because I wanted to admire other people's cool armors and cool mounts.

Bro thats crazy because we most likely saw eachother in-game at one point, i had almost the exact same experience as you as a child. I BARELY remember it, and only did when i kept saying sherwood over in my head after seeing this video and recognizing the knight type characters/graphics. I dont remember doing anything other than running around, 0 progression. I think i only played it a handful of times before probably moving onto runescape on my grandmas PC or some shi

this is the way it was meant to be played

ong

This is pretty much the same memory I have of it that has been unearthed from the deepest crevices of my brain. So much so that I was like “wait, is this *that* game?” in slight disbelief and suspicion then proceed to have more and more familiar bits of the game pop up affirming that it is. And not knowing what on Earth to do was a huge mood. I just randomly kept getting destroyed without any clue of wtf was going on. Also, holy f* when he said Maid Marian

I started playing this game when I was 5, the only thing I could say in English was "follow me" because my mum taught me. I would make other players follow me because it was the only way to kill the big blue spiders back in the first version of the game. This game is not just my childhood, it's the reason I love RPGs and have learned English.

same

same brotha

I remember when I got my mom to help me playing it because I got lost in dungeon

i have ptsd of spiders because of the big blue spiders in sherwood dungeon

This video literally just unlocked some hidden memories in the back of my head. It is actually crazy that i remember playing this as a child yet nothing about it

same

As young kid in the past, I downloaded this game, and all I remember doing is that I was in a grassy area, on a path with maybe a few trees in view, and there were at the very least 8 other people around me. There was also some type of building with a really big walk way into a town. It was weird that I can remember that. I don't really know if I actually played too much of the game or not.

same man. I think about this game from time to time but i completely forgot what it was called

Thought I'd never heard of this before but I recall playing it, now that I've seen the gameplay. Don't remember it being this shit, though. Guess we needed way less to be entertained back then.

Same, but I do remember specifically playing as the skeleton character, but not much else lol.

The Devs also made a social game called "MoonBase", which is pretty much the same as their other one but set on the moon. Every now and then I'll remember it exists and be hit with a wave of nostalgia

I remember having so much fun playing Moonbase driving the janky physics-based moon buggies and using the jetpack to get onto the tiny sized Earth xD

I played the shit of that game in computer class in like 2007. Glad I'm not the only one that remembers lol nobody i've ever asked about it irl has ever heard of it

@master1e I was about to comment asking about the moon game. I can't believe this game aged so poorly.

I figured out if you use the jetpack long enough you can glitch through the earth and be inside it

@Greg Allan Real OGs remember that if you flew high enough into the sky and dropped all the way down back onto the tiny earth. You would clip into the Earth.

Wow, this is very nostalgic. I remember my little brother and I formed a guild for this game around 2008. There was no in-game support for guilds, so we made a WordPress site for our guild and recruited players in game chat. We even got about 30 people to join before we lost interest in the game. This is also the game where I got my first online girlfriend, though she broke up with me an hour later when I told her that i was a girl lol

Well, she clearly missed out on something great.

I remember this game at the height of my childhood and all the funny little guild wars that happened. This game, funnily enough, had a pretty hardcore playerbase that cared for nothing more than pvp and guild wars with the best items they could find in the dungeon. Fun times. 🤣🤣

really shows how you can make anything fun with the right people

Yes! Man taking me back to being 10 years old , not knowing english and having a blast together with my younger brother smacking some spiders together

Yes brother, same experience, not knowing English, but having a blast with this game.

Exactly the same but alone or with a friend!

Yes

same for me. the nostalgia

Same

I remember this playing this game over a decade ago. Back then the only character customization you could do was what color you wanted the default helmet wearing guy to be. There weren’t shops, or NPCs. But there were tons of players and people took the Pvp a little too seriously. I remember people trying to make guilds, however this was difficult with how easily you could steal someone’s name. There was only the one main castle map area and the “endless” dungeon. It was a pretty poorly made and silly game, but as a child I enjoyed it in its heyday.

the dungeon would continue until it got so large that loading it would crash your computer. i got to level 2 million or something once. There were a bunch of clans, they all made 'freewebs' accounts, it was kind of weird. All used army ranks as well. Very strange people. The pvp was mainly a stamina game with a few glitches and tricks. For example, gear doesnt (didnt?) effect pvp except for one thing - the ring of health regen. and pvp is so basic having it basically let you kill anyone without it.

I remember when game got "huge" update They added bow

This is a real blast from the past, and honestly I'm glad it's still up and running after over 2 decades! The cash shop doesn't seem predatory, just a little arbitrary, and the "updated" version seems just as basic and derpy as it always was. it almost feels like seeing a childhood neighbor who moved away long ago. Thank you for covering this game, Josh!!

Telling people to leave their memories in the past and not come to this game hit home for me. I recently returned to Everquest, to find it a burned out shell of its former self. I miss the days of Plane of Knowledge being chock full of people and people going about their business. The Bazaar full of afk vendors. And home cities, while more quiet than others, feeling more alive. But now its a shell.

That is good advice, the reason I don't watch old animations or movies from childhood is because I have good memories of them but they're most likely shit and I don't want to destroy those good memories

I love the way your avatar doesn't hold the weapons, they're just grafted onto the ends of his arms... And the fight animation is basically just punching... So you're walking up to monsters and punching them with your sword-hands. This may be the best thing about the game.

damn dude, I remember playing this game as a kid during the evening with only the moonlight and computer screen lighting my father's office while my sister would listen to "I write sins not tragedies" on the other room, for some reason this combo of events stuck with me all my life.

This was the only mmo I could play as a child in an impoverished household because the game didn’t log you out when you lost internet connection. I’d step outside with my laptop and steal my neighbors wifi to log in, then go back inside and just roam the empty world lol. I always appreciated it for that.

Are you crazy? You had a laptop in those times means you had rich parents and wifi, what are you even on about?!

@Command & Conqueryou don’t know when this happened you don’t know there age so you don’t know when there where a child you know nothing of who they are yet you say what they could and could not affford

@Command & Conquer He explicitly said that he had to steal the neighbors' wifi, which means his family didn't have an internet connection. That's not rich, buddy.

Ah, the weird skeletons, the glowing weapons, those slightly articulated spiders... plenty of memories. Memories of those specific things and, really, nothing else.

The timing of this video was impressive. A few weeks ago, I logged in and played for while, and a crazy nostalgia hit me. I remember being part of a clan with rankings, pvp events, group screenshots, facebook group and all. Fun fact: the ship actually sailed around the island back then.

I'm pretty sure the ship actually moves from time to time. Or it used to. People back then used it as a brutal PVP arena where we only attacked each other when it sailed, and whoever was left standing once it made it back to the docks were the winners.

it doesn't move anymore.Maybe it was when the flash died that stopped it.

YEAAAAAH I remember that, I always rushed to get to the ship whenever it stopped, good times

I don't remember pvp at all, maybe I was on different server because people got on the ship and talked or just wanted to go around island

Sherwood was the first time I ever trolled anyone online. I would find a conversation happening in the chat and then log out and rename myself as one of the people talking. I'd bring up key points in whatever they were talking about and the person who I wasn't doppelganging would struggle to tell who was the original. It's even better copying their knight model (or skeleton if you rolled that way) and waiting for the two to separate before taking over their life lol

Club Marion was actually sick, you could drive the car around the map and do tricks by hitting ramps at just the right angles.

Great game, I used my grandma's credit card to rent a horse and roleplayed as it until she found out and kicked the sh#t out of me 10/10

lmfao

best comment I see today lmao

I once had 50 BRL in savings, bought a game worth 55 with my mom's credit card I didn't get a beating that intense when I bombed in school Credit cards are no laughing matter

That's a kekw from me my friend.

@Ayashithe tyt

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW FOR AGES. It was my first childhood MMO ever and I wass absolutely obsessed with it even though I literally didn't understand anything and just wanted the cool mounts and rainbow swords. I don't get why they've downgraded the game so much though? There used to be so many more hubs and things to explore.

Hey Josh! Have you ever consider doing a tier list about all the MMOs included in the Worst MMO series? I know tier lists are cliché by now, but I'd honestly be fun to watch what you think about your past experiences with those MMOs and which you think is the worst and the best of the worst

Tankball and Moonbase Alpha were the best parts of that website, but this was actually a great way to spend lazy afternoons as a kid back in 2004. Back then it was much much much more barebones than this, but being able to play a 3D interactive online game straight from your browser was mindblowing

Those dungeons are always what I imagine when reading "house of leaves". Something about the gloom, repetition, the spiral staircase, the feeling like they go on endlessly.

I remember asking Josh to review this game and forcing my friends to play this crazy hallucinogenic experience with me! It's so bad but it's so nostalgic, also being able to dance by pressing forwards and backwards at the same time always entertains me for at least 5 minutes no matter what

this game was never about the combat to me, it was a weird lil place where everyone was the same shitty knight model and they'd just chat and try to find ways to get to out of bounds areas or discover secrets, spread rumors, etc It was like, a school playground, people had their lil groups, made their own fun, etc. This is NOTHING like what I remember, but still recognizable enough to know it was once the game I played way back when, very odd.

Very accurate

Helped me get better grades in German in school cause online people would teach me some while we hit things. Good times.

the shot of nostalgia that hit me when I realized that I played this game as a child hit me soooooo hard

I once saw someone play this game when I was a kid and it has lived rent free in my head for almost 2 decades. I never knew the name so it just haunted my brainspace. Thank you for letting me finally forget haha.

Some crazy nostalgia here. I remember playing this very faintly as a kid not having a clue what I was doing and just exploring.

Madly impressed with the frequency of uploads yet no drop in quality. You the bomb Josh

Never expected you to cover this game but glad that you did, I played this for a few hundred hours as a kid.

This feels like a fever dream. 11 year old me used to play this game for a good while, albeit I never really knew what tf to do besides throwing myself headlong into a dungeon and grind out the same enemies for levels. Seeing this once again reawakened a lot of it and it’s very much just surreal on the fact I’m seeing it

Yeees I'm so glad someone else just ran around and fought thru dungeons not understanding the entire goal 😭🙏❤️

You could go on a boat and shoot enemies with bow as you go around. Then you watch their futile attempt at chasing you

The jumping as just an animation thing was also in Star Wars Galaxies (in its original release, anyway). It also featured tiny invisible walls in the middle of the wilderness that would require you to detour for miles to get around it... I miss that game so much.

Played the game a lot years ago. I have no idea how it is now but combat back then had some (probably unintentional) depth. Damage bonus from blocking stacked with each successful block, you were able to cancel block & attack recovery with timed amulet usage, even if it was on cooldown. It was still very simple but just enjoyable enough to not get bored of combat too fast.

There was blocking? Damn I missed a lot but I think that's given when you can't speak English

Always a pleasure listening to your "Worst MMO Ever" series. I think I have a 100% completion streak on that one >__ PS. Are you planning on reviewing Flyff (Fly For Fun - Anime MMORPG) ?

Oh my god, I've been searching for this game for so long, especially its sister-game where you also got a car mount. Despite how badly it aged, thank you for the memories!

Man thank you so much for this video! Even when I was in middle school I realized that the game was basic but I grinded to level 18 just to see all the special attacks and also to show off to my friend who for some reason loved the game.

Oh man. This is a blast from the past. I played this game in it's earliest versions. Back in the early 00s they didn't have all those portals or even multiple characters to choose from. You were just the knight and you went into a dungeon collecting loot. Then they added the portals, then the multiple character models, then full on quests.

and anything with an elemental affinity looked like it was made of pure colored crystal

YES! I was scrolling the comments to see if it was the game I remember as it looked so similar but no knight starting iron and the single dungeon everyone was running in and out of. Used to play it at the library as a kid lmao

all I remember is it wasn't that much of an RPG? I just wandered around with a few other players and hanging out. Wasn't there some way to get to the moon?

@Truly Visceral There was an other browser game, i think it was called moon mmo or something. Kinda similar in terms of style, so maybe you are thinking of that :D

@Truly Visceral not in the old version but the same dev had a moon based hangout 'game'

That jumping thing must've been either a baked in engine thing, or just a sign of the times it was made, because Both Toontown, And Wizard101 also have entirely cosmetic jump buttons

I'm so glad you're doing these videos. Sherwood Dungeon is one of those games I played where I never thought i would see any kind of essay about it!

Damn, this is painful. I used to love to play this. Even back when it was just a single room in 2005, the students who were still waiting for their parents would be allowed to go to the computer lab, and we'd all go here, and just play together. We'd make sure we were in the same lobby room, then go around and kill the transparent spiders and warriors. A couple of years later, I'd stay up late, playing this with Nick at Nite playing in the background... the fun memories! And that weird bug where, no matter how strong you got, if you got at least 5 floors higher, it would ignore your level and treat damage the same as the lower stages.

Josh out here unlocking core memories in his audience.

The thing I remember most is how some of the biggest clans were just differently colored names of warriors, you had the Red Warriors, the Black Warriors, the Green Warriors, etc. And they were often keen on using special characters in their names so the average player name from a clan would look something like §±GW±§-Tøxic

Holy fucking shit. I had completely forgotten about this game. I spent hours playing it when I was much younger. The thrill of finding good loot inside the dungeon and hoping to make it out alive was the craziest thing

u naughty boy

​@TRON🤨🤨🤨

Same, it seemed familiar so I looked up some old gameplay, and man did those single colour swords ever hit me with a wave of nostalgia

Wow this takes me back like 15 years! I never knew what I was doing in this game, but it was always intriguing to hop on and just run around.

"this game is 21 years old, this game can drink" and "the classic way of opening notepad to tell us what we are about to do", both pure perfect humour. Thank you so much

Seeing how much this game changed I'm kinda curios how the mmo Florensia looks like today. I used to play that one a lot but it's been over 10 years since then. Would love to see you cover Florensia as well

I remember this game was weird af when I was a kid. For some reason, I kept being thrown into servers with foreigners mainly Brazilians or Portuguese. And then when I did find english speaking servers it was almost always a buncha weirdos asking around for someone who was looking for gf or bf for some roleplay cringe shit. What a bizarre time to be a kid back then.

the sherwood erp scene was legitimately weird. room 99 always had a ton of strange erotic roleplayers and predatory adults. And yea a ton of foreign players because the game was so easy to run I think.

Jesus you reminded me of social flash games because I used to ask people to marry me or smth. There was some game under water where you could be mermaid or shark

@Dragonax I played habbo hotel when I was 10, people would ask if I wanna date, I would say yes and then they would add me and never talk to me again

I used to play this ALOT back in the day, the thing I loved about this game was you could choose a certain color/gang. Made me feel more immersed

I preferred the moon chat room thing. Being one of the privileged few who knew how to boost up on the tiny Earth planet was prestigious.

Bro I was thinking about that exact game as well. I even remember getting on that planet earth lol the moon buggy was fun

@MyLazySundae Hahaha! Yeah, exactly!

I wander if there's a version of that available anywhere, or if anyone who sees these comments has the capabilities of bringing it back? I just want to fly to the earth again and hang out haha

@aceyyyy Evidently there's some sort of discord link related to it and they have a copy?...I'm too lazy to go through the effort of it, but its very possible it still exists. Probably not online, but maybe an offline copy.

I remember this game and some of how bad it was, but my memories only scratched the surface. Surprised you didn’t mention the hilariously goofy way characters hold and swing weapons

"Trying to be predatory with no prey" is probably the most brutal thing I've heard

I played so many hours of this game as a 10 year old and never made significant progress ever, seriously some good memories.

I ABSOLUTELY love how you wrapped that up. This is why you're my #1 favourite youtuber of all time. Once I get financially stable again ima be looking into a solid way to support you that doesn't break the bank. Cheers, Josh

Remembering the entire map while watching was an interesting feeling, I played this game quite a bit as a kid lol.

Man this takes me back. I used to play so much of this game alongside Adventurequest and Runescape back in the browser gaming days. I swore I was one of the few who had ever heard of this game.

My entire school played this, it was awesome

You aren't alone in this childhood experience

I'm actually very surprised to see how many other people knew about it as well. I remember playing this _so_ much as a kid. I played a bit of Adventure Quest as well. Not a lot of Runescape though.

​@AlopekisI'm not, back browser games days, this game was lit. It always had high activity

Runescape had worse graphics but much more content then Sherwood dungeon. people would play Sherwood dungeon for the wow like graphics and then quickly came back to runescape because they did everything in Sherwood in a short time. Adventurequest was ok but not a real mmo

I used to play this game, and if I recall correctly - elemental damage actually used to do something, and also DoTs were a thing - spiders were at least a little difficult cause they poisoned you. I did actually go back to sherwood about a year ago, played 10 minutes and had to drop it. its mind numbing.

Holy hell what a wave of nostalgia, I used to play a lot of Sherwood Temple (which now apparently goes by Sherwood Classic) as a kid, what an absolutely horrible game.

I played one of the first versions of this one as an kid, with way less stuff but i still loved it. Game memory also got random wiped multiple times, maybe with updates, and there was not an inlog i think

This was the first game I ever played on PC. I made a lot of friends on Sherwood, back then it was called Sherwood Temples. I was probably in the 4th grade lol. The dungeons came way later, it was originally just a chat room where you could run around and fight each other. It'd be cool if any of my old buddies managed to see this :) I was called megaman9990 back then!

The way the flash version was superior to the new version reminds me a lot of Adventure Quest: Worlds and AQ3D, which I definitely think you should do an episode on.

The notepad ending was just the cherry on top of a very fine nostalgic cake! Thx for covering this game, Josh! I wasted countless hours in this as a kid, then I remembered it exists when I turned 22-ish and played it again for about 30 minutes before thinking to myself what the hell I was even doing.

Played it earlier this year and felt the same way. 😂 Don’t play it on a 4K TV by the way; you’ll get motion sickness.

​@NintenJon2023 my dumpass thought he is gonna type all of the patrons

I just had the biggest nostalgia kick in the face. I used to play this EVERY DAY back when I was a kid. OLD memories unlocked

I was thinking about this game the other day but had absolutely no idea what it called or basically anything about it other than I remember playing it on the browser and there were skeleton knights. It was like a fever dream trying to piece any of it together but this is it.

Played this so much when I was a kid, can't believe you're making a video on it, total nostalgia trip.

Ah yes, Sherwood; the first MMO experience for countless kids back then, probably due to how easy to access it was. That game has always been a janky mess but in a good sort of way. I remember this is the place where i found my first mentor, who basically raised me to be sherwood version of One Punch Man, then later on i joined my first clan (guild) ever, and i used nothing but my bare fists to defeat other players ( It worked kinda like Dante's Royal guard style). Aside from combat, running into whatever walls i could in hopes of climbing, or just glitching inside of them, was another large part what made it fun for a kid me. Good memories of that one, despite it clearly having aged like milk. ;)

I played this game for 1 day when I was like 10. I loved it and spent the day from morning to night playing it. Even my parents scolded me for that but lucky for them, I couldn't find the game the next day. I found the game on one of those websites that hosts all kind of flash games but the next day I just couldn't find the game there and I didn't remember the title to search for it elsewhere. Fast forward 8 years or so, I remembered the game and wanted to check it. After intense google searching I found it again. I tried to play it and man I felt disappointed. It felt uglier, clunkier, emptier and less lively than what I remember but I didn't want to be too hard on it because I just thought that the game has simply badly aged. In fact, I didn't want to keep playing because I just got bored after 30 minutes. But now, watching your video, the game really seems bad. Conclusion: kids are stupid.

19:11 In the old times i played on a game version where the ship circled around the island. As a 7 year old it was fun rolaplaying a priate and just go around the map again and again. It was cool af.

Yes! There were always tons of people on the ship dancing or fighting, sometimes both. I remember running for the ship with a group of people I knew only in this game and one guy was too slow and fell into the water. Probably one of my most random memories, but I still love it.

Nostalgia! Played this a lot back in the days, I didn't even knew what I was doing most of the time, the random colored spiders, very weird.

That helm is unlocking some core memories! My introduction into the world of MMOs- Thank you so much for covering this ❤

Man, this game was me and my friends childhood , good to know it still exist

I played this around 2008. Became the guild leader for one of the Major groups (BW). It was a lot of fun as a kid to pvp and play with decent action combat. Guilds usually had their own claimed rooms and other rival guilds would "raid" them causing a nonsensical pvp clash which would fill rooms with non-stop fighting. Good times.

Those raids were hilarious. you would just all appear then fight until you got got bored and declare victory. The alliances and political drama. BW was black warriors right lmfao

I used to play this game all the time as a kid. It really was never meant to be an MMO, just a graphical chat room that also let you fight monsters. It such a shame they turned it into a crappy mobile game, it really should've just stayed a pleasant memory.

This was the first MMO I ever experienced, along with Maid Marian's chat room game. I am actually shocked they even updated it and kept it going even today. You've got to do the other games now Josh, you have stumbled across a rabbit hole if you have never seen this before. It HAS to happen! I can't believe this game turned up here. Thank you for the video!

Remember this game from my childhood, my first online experience, it was more of a giant chat room than a true mmo for me and my friends (it was 16 years ago, and the content of the game was 10% of what it is today). I played it when i was 10-11, Its on this game that i discovered how to use cheat engine and I learned with astonishment that players with females characters are not always womens (huge revelation for my age). Thank to bring back all those memories to me, love your content, keep it up!

I remember stumbling into this game because of a tank sister game that was pretty fun. I seriously thought the game was some tech build or alpha version. It's wild seeing absolutely nothing has really changed except maybe more islands to travel to

Oh yeah the Tank one was pretty cool too...

Josh, you've been a Youtuber long enough to know you should never ask people not to make you play something. :) Great video though, I'm always happy to see a new Worst MMO Ever pop up on my YT recs!

omg I have been looking for this game for SO LONG. I vaguely remembered playing this as a child but couldn't remember enough of it to actually find it online. Thanks for digging this up!!

OMG, YES! I loved this game, it is really unique and uniquely bad. The creator was probably the only person to develop this kind of games with Adobe Shockwave, I love his Tank Ball 2 game, an online multiplayer tank shooter.

Tank Ball and Sherwood were really fun for me and my friends back in those days 😂

THE TANK GAME WAS SO COOL! We had such an amazing childhood.

Real ones would Google shockwave games instead of flash games 🔥🔥

the moon base one was SO fun as a kid, learning how to fly from the moon to the tiny earth you can see in the distance was such a fun challenge, I wish I could play it now just for a bit of a nostalgia trip but I don't think that's possible :(

Tbh all those games except tankball were really more 3d chat rooms than games. Even Sherwood was about the social experience more than actually playing🕹️

I used to play this on my school's computer back in the day. Selecting the skeleton model gave me a lot more fps than any other. Good times.

I've got a game you might enjoy Josh. It's called Eternal Lands, and it's been around since 2004 and has a pretty decent community keeping it alive! There's about a combined 8k people( in guilds, likely more non-guild people) that play it, and I'd say roughly a hundred people that play on each type of server!

Excellent game. I rented a horse using my grandma's credit card and roleplayed as it until she caught on and kicked the crap out of me. 10/10

It also does many things right. Like the weapons were some of the coolest weapons I've ever seen. You really felt like you got something truly epic when you got a glowing rainbow coloured halberd. Nowadays games just tell you something is epic through the UI.

I remember playing this every time I had free time & couldn't play things like Portal/Half Life. I have no clue why, but something about 3D fantasy setting like this was really appealing. Runescape being top down just didn't give the same vibe. Of course, I never had any idea wtf I was doing, I just really enjoyed walking around one single castle. And walking off to some castle with high level enemies and dying. Several times, on several different days. I probably would've loved WoW if I knew it even existed.

I remember playing this around 2007. There was a way to give your character a ridiculously high level but for some reason barely anybody knew about that. I would run around oneshotting everything and people around me would ask in awe how on Earth I managed to get so strong 😂

what was the trick tho?

@shudust You were able to just cheat engine everything in sherwood dungeon like 15 years ago, not sure if that has changed. There was no anticheat of any kind and you would never be banned for it. Most people used guest accounts anyways. If there ever was any "tricks" to getting high level in that game, it was completely pointless to do since cheat engine existed.

@Ash Ketchum There is basically no possible way for them to change that, as long as you can store your character safe file offline. They would need to force you to create an account and have actual developers to prevent you from tempering with your save. So as long as you get to keep your own data at your pc, you can tell the server what ever you like, like the level or dmg numbers...

Cheat engine lol I used to do this too

Oh, people knew about it, nobody cared enough to abuse it aside from the small circle of PvP players that would fight each-other. They'd CE to ridiculous levels and give themselves the best weapons/armor in the game just to slap each-other lmao

God, I remember jamming on Sherwood Dungeons in the elementary school computer lab. This and Moonbase Alpha!! Great times, the janky elements and simplicity of it all were so charming in a bizarre way

This is just like with Fiesta. I had been thinking about this game just recently and couldn't remember what it was, then you covered it within a few days. In my head it was some kind of free knock-off of Fable, but this was a very very long time ago. This is the mother of all palet swap games. Even the weapons are palet swaps, and they just made them glow different. I swear these devs looked at other MMOs and decided what people really want is to duel-wield glowing weapons, and everything else is just filler.

Damn I remember Playing sherwood dungeon when it wasn't even Sherwood DUNGEON it was just sherwood . There wasn't any levels, no dungeons, no loot or quest . You were just killing mobs with the few Healthpoint you had and keep getting back up to kill more . I remember managing to team up with other people to kill the big spiders which were the strongest ennemies . It blew my mind at the time when they added the dungeon part and progression .

There was an even earlier version of that where there wasn’t even mobs to fight, it was just pure pvp. All weapons were just scattered around the map inside of a chest, and you just always had to go to the last two chests to get the best sword and shield in the game. Sword dual wielding wasn’t a thing yet. So it was just a race to get the best weapon, then try to prevent other players from getting it themselves lol.

I remember getting the whole class to play this in computer lab back in 6th grade. That was the closest thing i had to a LAN party lmao

This is such an amazing series, I wonder one day the game I am playing on will enter it lol, it called "continent of ninth" (wish u can do this game a series if possible) and just come up on stream recently, would be great to see opinion on it since i can enjoy it since i love it when i was kid, but it got it flaw for sure

That sword slashing sound just unlocked some hidden memories. I remember I played this when I was about 10, and found it while browsing flash games. I remember thinking this game was so advanced and so detailed at the time. Oh how wrong I was

This man sent me back to a place i had long forgotten in my head

With everything going wrong with this game, this review was very entertaining.

I remember playing this game as a kid and comparing it to Runescape. I thought "When this game gets more updates, it'll destroy Runescape!" Boy was I wrong!

Hey Josh, love your vids. Here's a suggestion for a game to the series: Tibia. It has been around for a while, more than 20 years I believe, it was very popular in Latin America, speacially Brazil, and still have a community that spend crazy amounts of money on it.

Imagine if there was a legend where the strongest Sherwood character is logged in as a guest in a school computer, and that the character has 13 players playing it.

That is honestly the best mechanic of this game.

I played it when I was a kid in guest, got to around 160 I think... I think I was the strongest player because I never saw anyone stronger than me back then, and you couldn't really look others level, although someone else said you could bug the game to one hit everything, and I remember some of those but I always assumed it was people hacking...

Imagine if there were slightly over double that amount of players playing it, and in honour of the shared account they named themselves after it, something like, thelegend27 perhaps?

@Alex 5432 There was a lot of high level players that loved to bug the game, and tbh you probably weren't the only person around that level.

@Dev Ro No, I'm sure I wasn't the only one, neither the highest... I'm just reporting this is how far I've gotten and never saw anyone that was higher...

Here we go, a game i know and loved. So many hours of my childhood spent on this one

Can we please get a worst MMO for Final Fantasy XI? It's surprisingly absent in any of your discussions about MMOs! Would love to see a video on it

I used to play Sherwood Dungeon for DAYS at a time. I loved it so much, along with the car game on the site and moon game that had text to speech chat. It was amazing. I'm sad to see what happened to it. I would like to say, the combat is basically what it was back in the day, and nostalgia is a hell of a thing.

I remember fighting the monsters in dungeons just to get the fancy glowing weapons hahaha, good times :)

“If you had a good memory of this as a kid leave that memory alone “ realist and funniest thing ever said about nostalgia 😂😂😂😂
