That first bit is a pretty accurate description of a lot of early online gaming.

I knew most of the experienced bards on my EQ server in '03. Half the reason I bothered to develop my character was to try and keep up with them. Now pretty much the only thing that'll keep me playing online multiplayer is casino gamification, so I don't start.

That was a big pull of WoW. You type "lfg" once in all chat and that could send you on a 20 year relationship with a guild with people who end up becoming your best friends.

yup, sounds like my experience playing Unreal 2:XMP back in the day

I'm playing a mobile game that's pretty much exactly like that first part.
