2D Anime MMORPG Open World

[Kiyoshi]

Does anyone know of an Anime game but a 2D version?

In addition to being open world and mmorpg

Is there no such thing? Why don't they make it? It could easily be in a web browser without downloading it

 

I would easily walk (wasd) and explore places like these

 

 

What do you think about this idea?

Make your own anime character

each server is the city of Japan to do various tests, challenges, goals

to choose which school you want to go to, To work in the profession that suits you and you like.

Interact with players. Each choice you and the other players make changes the story of your character and their character (i.e. they affect each other for more realism)

Now what kind of game? What category do you like best?

1) For zombies - survival?

2) just realistic and relaxing

3) Science Fiction?

4) Athletic? etc although I believe they can all be done together in this game haha

The only games I can think of that are 2D and a little bit in the anime style are Adventure Quest, Adventure Quest Worlds, and DragonFable which are all made by the same gaming company. They are fun games to play if you like this style but the graphics are not amazing but this is done in a cute 2D style.

Adventure Quest Worlds is also MMORPG with many character custom options and contains many aspects you see in most games such like armor, weapon, pet customs, quests and missions, instances with boss monsters with friends and ability to skills such like fishing. 

More games in this style to me would be great because I like this type that is more realistic and relaxing.

Totally forget AQ Worlds was a game lol ~ I played that too. They have AQ World 3D now too that I think is available on the phone & browser but it's nowhere near as good as AQ Worlds. 
~ Oh I remember there used to be some 2D dating sim games like this, I remember one called "Chrono Days" and another called "Wonderland Days", I think it still exists but I'm not sure. The pictures and stuff weren't as detailed as the ones above because I think they were mostly hand drawn but it was fun to play through them lol

I don’t know if it would be helpful but the only one I know is ragnarok online tho it’s fantasy. Beside that the science fiction one I know it blue protocol but it’s 3D and not 2D. Same with onigiri tho this one is more of a mix of a science and Japanese theme

Ragnarok Online is really a good game. I remember now I used to play this too along with Maple Story but I don't guessed that Maple Story is considered this type of 2D animation maybe.

Oh true I forgot about maple story. I recently got into RO so I’m playing on private servers right now

What private servers are you playing with that? I would be interested in playing Ragnarok again.

Thanks everyone, I'll try to try them all regardless if they want a download or not.

But my goal from the beginning is to play on the website and not be a burden on my laptop since I have an ancient one..

Understandable ~ A lot of games these days require some sort of download especially since Flash stopped working unless you have something like Ruffle I guess that makes Flash work.

All games on this page are similar to what you are looking for and playable on a browser with a Flash enabler on Chrome browser. There is also a downloadable launcher that allows you play all games listed on the page for easier access but it is capable of browser play.

Oh sorry I just saw the post. Here it is:

I used to play on another one but I can’t find it. Might do some more research later

Thanks, I'm going to give it a try, its been a long time since I played this game.

Kind of an old thread, but i'm surprised no one mentionned elsword, it used to be popular

There's also dragonica for another awesome sidescroller.

Ragnarok online is definitely a classic and the most active though, i think it was even referenced in the anime "Netoge no yome".

 

There are some awesome lesser known mmo for 3D ones though, i recommend mabinogi on mabi.pro server to everyone,you can basically play your dream anime character, the gameplay is deeper than it looks, and there are even funny non-combat skill to upgrade the OSRS way without being as grindy lol

Always wanted to get into mabinogi but kept just not knowing what to do lol, I’ll try that private server 

Have fun ! It's an older version, similar to ragnarok pre-renewal vs ragnarok renewal, it's nice and free of the heavy pay to win which is characteristic of nexon/official server, lol.

And in case you're missing teammates feel free to hit me up

You can easily log on to https://jet-casino.club/ to explore a wide variety of games, from classic slots to live dealer tables, all designed for smooth gameplay. The site is especially appealing because it offers fast payouts, user-friendly navigation, and regular promotions that keep players engaged.

I like the idea of choosing a school, career, and making decisions that affect not only your character but also others - it adds depth without the need for 3D graphics.
