What's even the point of EQ without any player interaction? It's not exactly like the gameplay loops are the most stimulating single-player experience out there.
If you're all playing the same game even solo you can still brag about Item X and then "sorry you didn't get..."

Not having ever played THJ, I didn't realize how many people wanted an EQ experience where you never have to interact with other players outside of maybe discord chat. Like, I get the appeal of being able to play at your own place, and do content you'd never otherwise be able to do, but I was surprised at how many people in the EQL discord genuinely don't want to ever interact with another player.

A classic EQ server with instancing would appeal to me. I am not much interested in the other stuff such as solo, multi-class, etc. Instancing though would make it to where all groups/raids can see all content.

it's just what the modern adhd gamer craves, some single player Diablo-like

i'm surprised they even made this when the broader game industry mostly consists of "how do we turn this into an extraction shooter / Fortnite clone"

Its more like World of Warcraft, where you grab a friend for a daily kill that you can't take down on your own but want to.

But the majority of time are focusing on checking off the boxes that you want without requiring asking for help.

As far as the why would you want to play it?

It was a really fun game to experement and play with.

Like, you would be like, "Wow this build is STRONG! I wish I had more DPS, what if I swapped this class for that class... I oh wow I'd get a magic boost... what if I combo that with the proc, oh and I did a wizard, I could add more damage with spell damage bonuses! This sounds fun!

And you play the game and experement, and then think, man i wish I was a rogue but i had duel wield flaming swords.. and cast necromancer spells... and you do that etc.

It was just fun as fuck lol

The grinding and EXP was tuned so well, like it was difficult and required EQ like thinking. But it was easy, and fun to crush through like it was world of warcraft.

If you liked the "feel" of eq... but you also enjoy other games, it just really, really hit the spot.

Now, imagine making these changes, using the IP of your own company (or with full permission) of that company. Also imagine doing it the other way and getting your anus reamed by lawyers by not getting permission and doubling down so badly that you (potentially) endangered the whole EQ Emu community (who btw supplied the software tools and framework) that your good works (admittedly, they were) were derided by everyone who hadn't cucked themselves for THJ or were clueless as the to the ramifications such a defence posed.

They had a good idea people who werent me liked, but they implimented it like a bunch of clueless child like sovereign citizens who really should have found a clue before making fools and arses of themselves.
