Server doesn't seem capable of supporting what it has now. Leveling up is a ghost town only populated by soloing twinks running the exact same path that the persons last 4 toons ran. There's too many 60s been sitting at 60 on the same content for 4 years and the general attitude I've seen towards people who are new is like /eyeroll not another one. another person to compete with on camps and content.

this is only if you get jealous of other people's time/effort here bc they came before you

if you join the server - focus on your own adventure - you will have a great time.

I know its a social game and you will have to interact with crap people from time to time but the amount of AMAZING people you will interact with will far far far out number the crap ones.

Ultimately - this is a social experiment game where it is driven by the community, you have to make your own fun how you see fit.

Ghost town? Are you sure you are playing the blue server? If yes, are you playing at some insanely late hour when everyone else is asleep?

I disagree.

I own forty seven apartment complexes globally. My annual net profit is well over 2.5 million USD. All I do is wake up at 6 AM, get my kids ready for school, then sit on my butt and make money. So while I sit on my butt for 8+hours, I surf the web and play games, (mostly play games).

I live a good life with my significant other and kids. I have stupid amounts of free time even after attending to my family and business responsibilities.

So tell me, just what am I supposed to be doing with all that time to kill?

We've had many Young professionals.

Doctors, Lawyers, Litigation professionals, Rule Drafters. But nothing quite as significant as a Slum Lord!

Welcome aboard.

I would say I'm successful, made 72k (with OT) last year before taxes. I have a wife, 2 kids, a mortgage, etc. and I still have time to nerd out on this game.

I think whoever said its impossible to play here and be successful isn't doing it right. The more successful you are, the less you have to work imo. Shit rolls down hill. Less work = more free time.

I dont get the whole installation hurdle. How could there possibly be people who are big enough nerds to want to play emulated everquest but not big enough nerds to know how to move a few files around?

I think the issue here is people do not want to illegally download the game via that one website. Like others have stated, a 1 click download endorsed by Daybreak may solve a lot of problems for those apprehensive people afraid of legality issues

LOL. I'm 44, I don't know if that is still considered young.

'Young' is a meme around here. We're all young for playing a video game from Y2K.
