quarm is buys its fun talking to ppl
Quarm isn't an official server. Neither is P99.

Verant being asleep at the wheel is what's keeping these emulated servers in business.

I wouldn't invest serious effort into either because of that.

It's also nice to have a permanent home where what you work for doesn't disappear overnight. That won't happen though until financial profit is taken out of the equation.

You can have lots of emulated servers but only one official server.

Official is the way to go, but profit has taken centre stage.

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.
