Lucky, I hope EQ emu is around when I'm 76 provided I don't have anything better to do.

I get jelly of my friends who got to experience 95-2005 era PC gaming while in their 30's, with the extra cash. At least I got to experience it, my later 20s and 30s regrettable years in the hobby.

Computers were a certain way for ages, i could do nothing but pine for it. They gave me 5 years before retarding it all beyond oblivion in the name of 'progress'.. in fact it started around the time of Oblivion.

LOL

OP thinks fat pudgy revolting snaggletooths are actually going to upload their disgusting face for everyone to laugh at

As mentioned prior, NFTs intertwined with in-game usability are the next major MMO breakthrough in my mind. NFTs with utility (entertainment) will be quite the sight to see when it comes to fruition. We'll see if it can scale though, I don't think we're there yet.

As a thought experiment, I find it interesting that the way items are generated in classic Everquest play well in a future where NFTs are commonplace. Imagine game items like Manastones, Fungi Staves, etc trackable on a blockchain.

Personal feelings on this aside, I think this path is inevitable.

(not trolling) Can someone explain how or why this will be interesting please? I don't mess around with anything crypto.

It won't be interesting at all, unless you find lootboxes and other microtransactions we already have super exciting and engaging.

Oh, no i don't. The opposite of interest in fact, repulsion.

I think the next real big MMO feature will be a crypto currency

or it will be star citizen

I'm still waiting for the ability for players to level design. And host content or charge for access to their sthe ervers/worlds/storylines/expansions.

Not talking about second life and it's community of ERPers.

Like wow, eq1 scale design. When you visit their "realm" they control your stats, and equipment, game rules and spells. The "physics of the world".

well my good chum, you can thank consolization for that i think. We had a version of that with FPS games on PC before, with your own servers and content. Where do you see that today? its matchmaking and lock-down to buy skins. Why would you get your own worlds unless the main company is getting its slice now?

You can thank all the Horse Armor apologists for that one. "Its only cosmetics!"
