There have always been whales but in the past way back when these dysfunctonal souls stood out more and were few and far inbetween. It was only when games got big enough audiences that these players could band together and dominate end-game content that mere mortals had to push their limits to compete. Now that level of playtime is more or less normalized in most MMO games.
In a way p99 is different. Outside of /list and fresh in general you don’t benefit significantly from long sessions. Rather it’s the ability to drop your baby in the sink or log on at 4 am and wake up the wife to kill golems in CT. It more or less boils down to the same problem though, players forsake their lives doing it.
But shit man, people these days have massive screen times and being on p99 ain’t worse than some normie doomscrolling on instagram for 7 hours a day.
I try to break the bad habit but it’s hard. Fortunately gaming had lost its lustre, I understand my dad now how he’d say real life was better.
Wait? What are we talking about and aren’t you the dweeb that farmed gnoll scrolls for ages?
