Can you name these MMORPGs in six minutes from vague clues?

I've been a sucker for MMORPGs since I was a child. In 2002 I cut my teeth on an old Korean MMO called Priston Tale, which, now I think about it, was basically a more whimsical Diablo. When the game went subscription-only I cried and begged my mom to let me pay with a money order, but I was too young for a debit card.

I've grown — I have a debit card now and can even buy a money order — yet my MMO habits have still sometimes spiralled. I still play a ton of MMORPGs, though these days I mostly stick to Final Fantasy 14, and I find grinds like Eureka or Bozja oddly endearing. The open-world mobs and social atmosphere remind me of old-school MMO design, and I can't help but miss some of the online worlds I abandoned.

Some of those games have shut down, while others are still chugging along, and it's always a small thrill when someone mentions Priston Tale or another early '00s title. When you start naming MMORPGs, it feels like everyone has a story to tell, and I love seeing how people light up when they hear their favorite mentioned.
