they were able to succeed because the market was so small. Blizzard and Tencent execs these days talk about how a game is dead with "only" ten thousand players online ... investors are now interested in propping up naked cash grab casino machines with a thin veneer of Fantasy, and those games eat up the available marketing and funding. the early mmo era ultimately failed as a business which is why theyre all run as nostalgia theme parks with cash shops, and why new games are just gacha slot machines that run on auto play. similar to why big budget movies suck today: the industry has developed out of the hands of weirdos making labors of love, and into the hands of tech bro make-a-quick-buck brand management people

Blizzard finely destroyed themselves forever. The only ppl they have left are the gambling addicted and the elf larpers who are only slightly less gambling addicted cuz they never grind past lfr ilvl (smart imo because M+ is a massive shit show) and raiding has been distilled into a very empty zergfest which is gated by ilvls and itemsets and programmable macros.

Eq's itemization until around PoP is probably the best in gaming history. For me, that's what separates it from other MMOs - they absolutely perfected the carrot on the stick.
You can tell exactly what somebody is wearing, know where they got it, know what it took to get it, and probably even guess what guild they're in just by their appearance without inspecting them | ||
