With Dragon's Dogma 2 approaching, a buddy of mine set up a private server to run Dragon's Dogma Online, the defunct Japan-only MMO that ran from 2015-2019. It's an extremely rough restoration by a tiny but dedicated community of western fans, with a below-bare-minimum English translation and lots of core gameplay features (like quests and loot) currently broken or missing. All you can really do is run around in the open world fighting monsters. Extremely buggy, crashes constantly, also maybe one of the coolest multiplayer games I've ever played.

I remember playing Dragon's Dogma Online. I believe it was Channel 13 that was the unofficial english speaking channel? Really fun game, definitely in my top 5 mmo experiences. I was a sorcerer and it felt so good when I nailed the chimeras with a bolide spell! I remember it was a massive pain to get running on my US PC though, I'm really thankful for the guy (Crevox I think?) who made the translation patch and kept it updated and usable regularly!

Anyways it eventually became too much of a pain between the VPN, the slow download speeds, and the foreign language issues so I stopped playing. Good to hear there's attempts to restore it.

Wish I could have experienced it while it was still live, we keep comparing it to the other games we were playing instead at the time and thinking about what might have been. I don't know if there's anything that feels remotely like it in the MMO space then or now.

There's nothing like it that I've played (as far as MMOs go.) It's a very unique game!
