Idk man this feels like life after moving out. Atleast untill (If youre one of the lucky ones) you find your path. For me atleast, hitting 30 changed everything for the better, but it was pure luck. Now 5 years later I'm one of maybe a dozen people who specialize in my field and people basically jump for joy when they see me walk In.

Don't worry, it gets worse after level 40.

The graphics are fantastic, but it's a nonstop grind and super pay-to-win, and the top paying players never get banned despite constant exploits.

I don't really recommend it. 3/10

I wouldn't mind it all so much if there weren't so many goddamn cheaters in the lobby.

Some races and classes are way too imbalanced and basically break the game.

Is like to re-roll my main, now. Thanks

N.3 hits hard

Haha that’s so true!

… I’m not crying about this post or anything…

Sounds about right.

It's also kind of nice though.

My life is like a video game, trying hard to beat the stage, all while I am still collecting coins!

In the MMO I play, my account shared bank is at the currency cap, my main can crush any elite content I throw at it, and I mostly only log in to do the bare minimum daily thing because of FOMO for event rewards. The only times I actually really play anymore are for the summer vacation and winter holiday events.

In real life, not so much.

And plenty of people, friends even, just say fuck it and rage-quit.

Loads of mimi-games though.

you now know those classic pots you enjoyed have permanent debuffs. with the new pots, nobody has found a debuff, yet.

Oof. That hit way too close to home.

People are already leaving the server

This hit me hard.

But if the gameplay is starting to get boring, it sounds like like you're on your way to your midlife crisis!

This is all wrong.

• 1000 hours: If you have a day job and only play a medium amount, I'd say 3 hours with 3 days a week it'd take 2 years to reach 1000 hours. That's about the time an expansion pack comes out and there's new stuff to do.
  • You have to grind: Okay, that's no question. (Being born into a rich family is cheating)
  • Your skills improve slowly: It wouldn't be fun otherwise
  • You realise you messed up picking your class and perks: In better RPGs you can change that
  • You couldn't choose your backstory at all: Not the same, you can do that IRL, in RPGs there's a story for a reason
  • The gameplay is starting to get boring: You're playing the wrong MMOs
  • You can't do anything without elixirs anymore: Is this meant to be coffee? Many people can go with their lives without caffeine. If it's about alcohol or drugs, there's something seriously wrong
  • People are already leaving this server: The closest analogy would be moving from one country to another. Not impossible but isn't meant to be easy either, just like in games
  • The end-game content feels unattainable: What'd be the closest analogy IRL? For example, hobbies aren't unattainable, what else should be end-game?
  • You've accumulated a lot of "inventory" that you rarely use: Skill issue
  • In-game currency is harder to come by than it should be: True a certain extent - like in all places the economy varies from server to server
