You know? Game designs haev really changed.
MMOs being what they were.. in a space and time that they were first made. Were so much more of a social hub where you -made- friends and did things together.
So much of it now in 2024 with things like discord is you make friends in gated communities, to then maybe do things with them in a game later. MMOs are ...
Very isolating and quiet now if you're just getting in, and even -if- you have dozens of friends in different discords.
None of em are what you could call social play anymore.
Kind of a bummer to be honest. The social aspects are in discords, talking about the game, and never actually really interacting or using that game to do activities itself. It's a medium for chatting about, not a thing to do.
And it's a shame, I feel like -everyone loves- to talk about the game. But It's a very, very, very tiny percentage that have actually wanted to play it.
Idk, i guess this is even more outside looking in. I felt less isolated -before- I started playing.
oh this is a VERY good outfit. Not at ALL safe for Blacksmithing though
