Keeping coherent thoughts for more than a minute is a chore sometimes since it feels like my brain is in a constant state of Tangents as it tries desperately to keep finding some thread of dopamine to follow i tend to keep a hand full of hobbies at a time since its better to pivot between several and get at least some level of progress in those in the long term rather then constantly trying to find a new hyper focus or dopamine hit to pursue like a blood hound.

It could be a 20 second read if he used paragraphs. It's literally a wall of text lol.

My friends say I should act my age.

What's my age again?

[khaki anarchy]

if you are here, somewhere between 30 and 70

It feels like multi-boxing but inside of one mind. So a lot like EQ, where one mind controls 3 characters. For further reference go to Kael on any given day to watch that phenomenon occur.

Do Project 1999 and EverQuest on Steam even get new players? I mean I was a new player got Barb Shaman to level 8 deleted it, and got an Iksar Necromancer to level 4 and kept it. I gave up tho cause I realized it's a knowledge based game that requires 1000 hours to have fun in it.

How am I gonna get to level 30 as an Iksar without having to read guides wall of text? Noone really makes YouTube guides for races / classes for this decade old game and if so it's only for level +50. I don't want to spend 1000 hours on a game before having fun or maybe I'm exagerating maybe it's just 500 hours but still...

I'd rather play the braindead Battlefield 6 or Fall Guys with a lizard costume. I'm asking cause won't EverQuest 1+2 and Project 1999 eventually die out soon? I know the players are in the 40s age bracket so there's still time but no new players will be a dead game.
