I will give honerary credit to those space MMO people that do the corperate guild wars that cost them 100's of thousands of IRL dollars though, that is like quantum gaming afaik.
Oh ya. I had misunderstood the golf metaphor as relaxing, because combat in EQ is generally slower paced than WoW. And because getting especially mana back is such a slower process in EQ, it led to groups being considered slower paced and more social as a result than dungeon running in WoW

That’s why I thought it meant relaxing

Maybe the solution to green/blue is cross server lfg instanced speed runs with players that never type a single word or ever see each other again...

Why there are two servers at this point. I guess population is better at these sizes?

Monsters and Memories is the upcoming game that looks and feels the most like Classic EQ.
