What were the exact reasons why 4Story lost so many players? This video explains it! Enjoy it dear friends :)

"Unfortunately, the real reason most players leave this game is that we have grown up, and this harsh life doesn't spare anyone. Some have gotten married and become busy raising their children during this cursed period, others are struggling to survive each day, and some have lost their dearest friends they used to play with."

Miss the good old time bring me back when i was 12 years old and pvp on doc 10 :'(

The 2014-2015 updates really destroyed everything. Until today I haven't seen such a massive drop of players (Greek server) in such a short time in any game I have played. A P2W game where in an instant our valuable +22,23,24 items had zero value. We were not going to spend any more money for upgrades nor we did have the time to lvl up to 140. Before that, it was great. So many funny moments with my best friend that we still miss. Definitely my most enjoyable gaming years!

Awesome video! I miss the oldschool of 2009-2012 so much. I would support any project that would try to bring the enhanced Vanilla back. Keep it simple, build on what worked in past, make the leveling journey long and enjoyable with PvP sparkled content such as Document wars. If there is anyone with the capabilities to work on such a project, let me know. Iberia Records, great job as always! Keep it up.

Just bring old 4Story back... The beginning.. its just all we want

They merged Portugal's server which was very active with Brazil's server... the 2 servers were not even in the same continent and started having massive ping issues making the game unplayable for thousands. That and rise of the gor is what made me quit

Great, you only talked about PvP stuff though. You could have added that today farming is completely irrelevant. Back then, you could farm for PvP materials, herbs, cloths, osiris stones and much more. People who like to farm a lot also quitted the game.

I really liked those ideas! They would have some potencial. And the other thing is, no matter how good your PC is, the game is limited because of DX9, runs like crap. I would come back if they fixed at least performance.

4S is in my ❤ for lifetime.

I love the work and effort you’ve put in every video since day 1 on this channel, the detailed timeline, the voiceover, the theories, the news, the variety of videos showcasing what happened, I really love this channel and it brings back my childhood memories and nostalgics just by seeing how dedicated you are to 4story, you’ve made many many happy with your effort even if Zemi Interactive is going to disappoint us (like always) but you really have my respect. Tons of love from Egypt (One of UK’s server oldest warriors)

4:52 my max rank :(

Następny patch będzie na 20 lecie 4story, najprędzej za 4 lata😂

4story its not a game its an idea and we gonna continue to play until the end of our lives with all of our hearts and with our family like one

So true!! The Rise of Gor wasn´t the problem, it was the Level and upgrades change

1:55 I remember how long I leveled up this character to max lvl and next 6 other to get 6x 140 on main serwer PL, now i have 10 x 140, never again

I quit because of the Mission 10 removal and the extreme power creep on equipment. Not just the level cap and the new PVP armor made me leave, also having to get new jewlery. And how would I have gotten that? Certainly not farming, but spending more money.

Sadge

The most enjoyable thing about this game is the PvP, all the tactical skills etc, but unfortunately they just wanted to farm, I'm still waiting for a PvP server to come out but I think I'll die waiting

:( ı remember lonbley little pvp

My advice would have been : announce that 140 level cap at least 6-8 months before the patch. So players have enough time to farm again for their future characters without feeling betrayed for Zimi making their hard earned armors and weapons a little less useful

4Story is in this state because devs don't care. In 2019 players got WoW Classic, in 2023 Aion Classic. They could get players again with fresh start and maybe go in another direction with development. But MMORPGs aren't mainstream anymore and you can't milk players like in the past so they are probably not interested in this.

I rememebr playing gates of andaron and even rise of gor way back in the day with my dad haha wish the game got bigger than it was

i'm not crying i just got a 4story memory in my eye

When open it?

i think Gf in license had one job and tell Zemi what players wanted and Zemi stopped making patches as result a lot people started writing Zemi on Twitter after items lvl 44 and lvl 140 if anything this is just my view but P-Servers is mostly populated than officials and most people wanna have before patch Rise of Gor and have 3.4 feelings animations and etc in my view only one P-Server stays that way mostly but is not that much still having 80-120 population if something i will like to see somebody make vanilla server but in this times is not enought and making new server you need copy others and make something yourself better i have few friends that is developers but is harder to make new servers than in history

Never clicked on anything so fast.

I played 4StoryUk server and had a +22/23 full gear set and +22 pvp weapons on my feline warrior. I quit when they changed the upgrade levels to +28 it was years of sheer luck (upgrading gambling) and grinding to even get +23, it really left a sour taste in my mouth so I full quit the game. It’s like having saved ££$$ for life and suddenly your countries currency goes worthless overnight.

Nice video, but in my opinion the future of 4Story has been for many years the private servers. Official 4Story has shown no interest towards the game and their community so people should come back and play private servers.

i think the problem is not the patches the problem is the community for itsellf ... Players crying alltime im dying and the others are guilty but not the guy who cry... toxic players toxic community and toxic childrens and p server it will be everytime funny when its closed xd and open next server and players think gf or zemi is guilty because many players left :D the only person who ist guilty from the fact 4s is broken its everybody who played this game

lvl140 28+ sux path ;)

gc

after GOR it went down, miss the time before that. If they would made a real remake without p2w there would be so many people

all of this video + hacks everywhere xd

upgrading the gear was never fun and easy for me in 4story,, i always had +14 and nothing higher bcs of poor money and the fact that the game was heavly pw2 thats the main reason i left the game
