Nah, official means commercial. Commercial requires profitability.

The top amateur stuff has far more staying power than pro.

It’s amazing I still have my eqlive toons to check up on every few years. When I rolled them I had no expectation for them to last a year let alone decades.

Nah, I can create something original and therefore official without it needing to be commercial.

Gugg is what you get when you take playing video games way too seriously. If you think you're "investing" time into a character on any video game ever, you're starting from the wrong assumption. Video games are a time sink, a pass-time, a waste of time, and a distraction.

I'm not saying I don't engage in the distraction, but every video game and every server will eventually come to an end, and any time "invested" will vanish immediately. Don't lie to yourself that it is any different. To what degree you accept the wasted time is on you. I personally play a handful of weeks each year on P99 and then call it good until the nostalgia itch creeps up again.

You're afk leveling, visiting ec tunnel on an external web site and using tracking cheats.

At this stage you might aswell use speed hacks and buy items/platinum too. After all, you "don't take it too seriously". Are you doing all those things already?

PS. Can I borrow your crystal ball?

Aren't you scheduled to die? That's what you keep telling me, hence your bucket list.

How can you remember something forever if you're gonna be dead soon??
