20 y.o. elf sim

[indiscriminate_hater]

Now when I’m trying to make fun of someone for getting upset over EQ I have to exaggerate by calling it a 25-yo elf sim. Truly a momentous day.

At this point, I kinda think rather than a reflection of how sad the neck beards still playing are, it is more a testament to how the game has withstood the test of time!

It's a testament to how awful the genre is tbh. 20 years and 2-3 decent games at best.

AO and rift were both pretty good too.

Now was EQ really good or just addictive and we were just jonesing for the dopamine rush we used to get as teenagers? I think there’s a strong connection between what makes this game and gambling “fun”. Maybe it’s the sense of community instead, which also happens to be a strong marketing tactic in gambling.

I believe it is a good game having played on original launch. Was revolutionary, and the more i classicquest the more I appreciate the minor details and polish they put into the product.

Of course they could have done some things better (stats / resists more relevant, curb some cheesy tactics like FD splitting, etc).

By and large the lore and intrigue was addicting to me (discovering new things) , as was experiencing everything with your friends all at once. Best I had before that was DOOM II for a LAN party every month.
