The content creator discovered an obscure, nearly forgotten MMORPG that piqued his interest. His video on this game gained significant popularity, leading to a revival of sorts for the title, now experiencing a resurgence in its popularity.
He revived the forgotten game
1999 saw the launch of “Dark Ages”, an MMORPG developed by KRU Interactive Studio, which stands out due to its unique feature: near-total player control over the game’s world. This empowers the community to shape the economy, politics, events, and laws within the game. Certain players even possess the power to punish or erase characters belonging to other users.
Despite the fact that the game is operational, its heyday has long passed. Yet, a YouTuber named Bind stumbled upon it and produced a video titled: “Spending 30 Days in an Abandoned MMO (and it was fantastic)”. The video captures him attempting to navigate through the game’s content, and the few remaining players are genuinely taken aback by his appearance.
As I pen this text, the video has surpassed 4 million views, sparking a surge in curiosity about its title. This influx attracted both new and returning players to log in. Later on, Bind shared another video, where he demonstrated how once barren sections of the game are now bustling with activity. This content eventually reached the team behind “Dark Ages,” who took the time to leave a comment.
Appreciate your follow-up video! It’s been quite an exciting journey, with so many new and returning players enlivening our community. Lately, we’ve experienced a spike in support requests which has temporarily increased our response time, but we value your concern and are making efforts to enhance the situation. You’ve rekindled a flame that never truly faded, now it burns brighter than ever before. There’s talk among the community about an in-game tribute being in order for you. We’re working on it! You’ve ignited something genuine and brought the spirit of the game back to life.
Numerous players are advocating for a tribute to Bind within the game, and the developers have acknowledged this request by confirming they are designing a way to do so. Therefore, it’s plausible that in the near future, fans of Dark Ages might be treated to a statue of the content creator.
