This.
I haven't played for a few months (2 or 3?). I'm on projectEQ right now. I basically have burned out on several games but.... it cycles and eventually I'll be back at project1999 again. It's the way it works.
For example, I tried Entropia Universe. It's a sad place. $$$$. Just like a casino. It's pathetic. The developers at MindArk don't put enough thought into the GAME. They've made a very detailed slot machine (which you research online), but have failed to capture the scope and inspiration of other role-playing worlds. They're apparently incapable of seeing beyond the $$$$$$$ (peds) and not exploiting impulsive players. I think the government (sweden?) should cap what a player can pay per month in EU, otherwise, Mindark will be vulnerable to greed (they want to grease their hands). It's like handing a child a loaded gun. It's too tempting for them. They just forget everything important and go after the $$$$. The game and the world suffer.
With Kunark and Velious coming out in the next few years, the accuracy of project1999 items/zones, the uniqueness of the classic experience, the historical value, I don't see how p1999 can go wrong. It's... immortal?
It reminds me of a few games I have that I periodically play every so often. Same thing. They age slowly because I always stop before finishing them. As long as that remains, i'll always (infrequently) return.
