    God I spent so much time in this game. I mean like 1000s of hours playing time over many years.

      Did you know it’s still active? There are new expansions still dropping, you can play limited options for free, pay for everything, host your own server or play on others’.

      I’ve set up my own server for personal use and tweaked the server settings for fun.

        Yeah I have an old friend that retired from his state job and still makes money as some sort of guide.

        But I broke that addiction a while ago. It was called Evercrack for a reason. Same thing with WoW. Although I would like to try it again for nostalgia. I didn’t know about the self hosted server option. I might check that out.

          I felt the same. I played hard from release till we were getting ready for Time in PoP.

          Then pussy. Then College and more pussy.

          I did play a while back on live servers but it didn’t feel the same, so I’m playing on a private server thats currently in OoW which is just a little past, PoP end gear is till quite decent, though their custom content for groups and raids gets a little wild, but I gather you need it to survive.

          there’s an easy docker container install on linux.

          Rules I tweaked:

          • 3x level xp
          • 3x skill level up probability
          • 10x health/mana/stamina regen
          • 200x health/mana/stamina regen out of combat (basically instant)
          • each char got max money and the best gear i could find for them in the game for their level

          I never did boxing, bit I’d run dungeons solo+merc. It was a lot of fun. I still died plenty, adds can be killer. But with just me on the entire server I needed all the help I could get.
