***Megaman Zero Online Legacy*** (formerly known as simply ***Megaman Zero Online***, generally abreviated to ***MMZOnline*** or ***MMZO***) was a multiplayer Mega Man Zero fangame developed by Warrior555MainsGanon.
The game was vastly inspired from GameMaker19's Megaman X Online: Deathmatch, albeit taking place in the Mega Man Zero subseries instead.

As of March 9th, the game has been officially discontinued in favor of it's upcoming sequel, ***Mega Man Zero Online NEXT***.

## Gameplay

The gameplay was mostly similar to the original GBA games, although many tweaks were made for balance/QOL reasons. As of the last version, there were two playable characters (Zero, Sage Harpuia), seven available maps (New Resistance Base, Dataroom, Road To Disposal, Neo Arcadian Train, Aegis Volcano, Computer Zone, Prison), and one gamemode.

## Story

"*"Regarding the origins of the idea, I'd say this is obviously inspired by MMXOD (I had just joined the community at that time and had quickly became very active in the community), but also surprisingly, I remember that at the time I was thinking back about Clone Wars Adventures for some reason, and I once visualized this mmorpg's intro segment but with Megaman Zero characters. Quickly the idea of making MMZO tilted in my head, and so I got to work"*"

The game was first revealed in April 2021 on the Megaman X Online: Deathmatch discord server, a semi-public beta was made available to members of the Discord server, although no masterservers were available, causing matchmaking to be reliant on community-hosted servers. An official matchmaking server was made public in November 2021, which greatly increased the popularity of the game.

On January 19th of 2023, the game was announced to be discontinued in the near future in favor of a sequel, Mega Man Zero Online NEXT. This sequel is to be developed under Godot by newly-appointed lead programmer Gacel. The 0.4.0.2 update was also announced, and was released the next day.

On March 1st of 2023, the game's matchmaking server was scheduled to go offline on March 9th due to unexpected issues with the game's server provider. After March 9th, the game downloads were taken off of the itch.io and Gamejolt pages, though the game can still be played through self-hosted game instances.

## Trivia

* Prior to Version 0.2.4, the game could only be downloaded through the #download-and-links channel of the Discord server. This was changed for the occasion when Warrior555 created a itch.io page from which the game could be downloaded.
* For it's entire run, the game's title erronously spelled "Mega Man" as "Megaman".
