What usually happens, I get excited in the beginning. Oh the possibilities.. the adventures to be had. No, just me searching for a group for a long time and then with afk players in boring open outdoor zones. Places like E. Commons.

No conversation at all. How did you do it?

Nostalgia & min/maxing is how I do it tbh. None of the things you mentioned have changed. It is more popular due to the prevalence of console/mobile online playing to do things solo.. it is essentially single player online in massively multiplayer worlds.

I have no other games to point you to for a better time, perhaps Elder Scrolls: Online or something else modern. Of course avoid Fallout76.

I enjoyed Green during the opening week but people were too in a rush to make 50. Packed starter zones, fighting over cracked staffs and watching new&veteran eq players get raped by the EC Griffin were very enjoyable for me. The usual chat pwning of new people confused why nighttime was so dark etc..

Edit: A Topsy Turvy World of Fantasy - New players are often treated like they are made of gold and will buzz off if treated poorly. Games are a dime-per-dozen.
