I should be clear btw: I'm addicted to EQ also, I just don't blame other people for it.

The notion that EQ had some kind of grand design to addict their subscribers is ridiculous if you just listen to the aforementioned interviews with the original devs. They're all like: "yeah we had no idea if it was gonna succeed and constantly expected to get the axe, we all just liked d&d and muds". You might be able to make an argument WoW is kinda guilty of actually consciously calculating the addictive nature of their game cause they had the benefit of observing EQ for five years.
It's also ridiculous to even compare it to some kind of legitimate addiction. A healthy relationship with eq or any other fun videogame is completely possible, but nobody has a "healthy relationship" with heroin or crack. Actual gambling is kind of a gray area, but it's definitely pretty close to a drug in terms of potential ruination of one's life. | ||

you were instituting he wasn't a piece of shit, when 30 years of internet posts disagree with you.
there is no "low blow" about a guy who got caught stealing prescribed medication from coworkers because he was, a piece of shit. he just happened to make a game you like. nice triple post btw | ||

The best artists, the highest quality entertainment, is 110% created by people who society thinks "are pieces of shit"
When are we going to accept that all of us are amazing in one way or another, but none of us are perfect? GOD I f#$^%ng hate this species. | ||

If that guy didn't steal those drugs he probably wouldn't have made the game that was so good that brought you here to complain about it so you should be thanking that piece of shit lol.
But on the topic of "how to make things hard again.. like they was in the old days ya know guyz".. the simple fact that we have the internet that's not on a modem breaks everything. We can alt tab to look shit up. We have library after library after library of information on how everything works online, all super easy to access and distribute. When it was new, no one really knew wtf was going or how to deal with it. It's like how Covid was. At first we were all like "OMG HOLY shit this is the end of the worrrrrld" and now we're like "yeah we figured it out, no worries." The most basic component that prevents anyone from really being able to experience things the way they used to be is... we already know how the shit plays out, how it works, and why. Back then we were all still figuring out what the fuck was what and why and how and every single twist and turn was a magical mystery to us. Now we all have volcano Ph'D's and we're like "isn't it weird how I don't feel as extremely scared and excited and mystified as the first time I saw a volcano?" yeah... cause... duh.. yeah..

You didn't really, you made a funny comparison. I love you cecily. But I also love drug addicted creative poets. | ||
