World of Warcraft is a really old game now.

[Wakanda]

I'm very active on P99 and on WoW. I've played WoW for well over 20 years at this point now. It's just an interesting thing for me to think about when I have WoW friends gasp at me and tell me how old EQ is because it completely goes over their head that one game is 25 years old, and the other game is almost 21 years old.
I also genuinely wonder if EQ would still be alive and well if Sony didn't pull the plug on it for EQ 2.

There are other philosophical questions I have. Like people tell me the reason the P99 community is so friendly is because they are old. Meanwhile I'm surrounded by dudes in their 40s on WoW who are complete jerks, and I'm still in my 30s, despite playing EQ in '99.

The history revisionists drive me wild too. The 25 year olds whose eyes light up when they find out I play EQ. They always assume that because Runescape came out in 2001, that it was the top MMO of the time, and in reality, no one I know played RS. But in their mind it was the first OG / top MMO of the early 2000s. I don't even think it became a thing until much later?

PS. Also in all seriousness, a woman I dated briefly was making fun of me for WoW's graphics and how out-dated they looked a couple of years ago. It reminded me of how WoW players sound when they talk about EQ. Which is ironic.
