Default Old school RPG's to play?
I am 24 and played EQ during summers at my grandparents as a kid.. Classic EQ really hits my nostalgic nerve, and really got me hooked.. I just took a week off from it and having a hard time getting back into the grind, and am wondering if there are any other iconic RPG games from the time that are worth looking into??

Ultima Online. Plenty of player run shards. UO Forever and UO Renaissance are probably the most populated, but there are plenty more.

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.

The last old school RPG I surprisingly managed to play was Warsong for Sega Genesis. (someone on p1999 recommended it no less, years ago!)

**I eventually felt it was ok to fast forward the battle sequences since we’re adults now 😊

Are you looking for MMO type experience?

EQ was my first and only for a long time so I don’t know old school in that regard

Console?

Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy 3 (really FF6 but was 3 in US)
Final Fantasy Tactics
Destiny of an Emperor
Suikoden
Xenogears
Earthbound
Chrono Trigger
Diablo 2
Baulders Gate

Some of these have aged better than others

Star Wars Galaxies. Think EverQuest (it was made by the same people, only a few years after they made EQ), but instead of things being linear and fixed everything is a giant sandbox/open world where even classes aren't permanent. Oh, and it's Star Wars [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Just be sure that you play on a "pre-Combat Upgrade" server like Basilisk or Awakening.

Nostalgic type games only work if there is actual nostalgia. Going back and playing just any ol game from 90's/00's is going to leave you with a "How in the f#ck did people play this garbage" feel.

You will be much happier playing newer type release IMO
