Tried it again. First day I did I pressed a button while playing on my laptop and all the text shrank so that it was illegible. The entire hour I was “playing” I was just trying to fix the issue. I was laughing so hard when I closed it out.

Next day on my desktop the UI is fine, but I have no clue how to hand an item to an NPC. After about 10 minutes, I tried pressing an item instead of press-dragging it. It finally allowed me to start the exchange.

This game man. THIS GAME. Then I finally got some combat on. It’s hilariously slow but I’m starting to finally enjoy myself hahaha.

Hahahaha, this is me every time I try to go back to a game I haven’t played in years. I forget everything! Even how to open the menus. Or it’s on a new computer and the settings bork.

So there I am, pressing E and I and Tab and everything I think might work. Sometimes I get super lazy and find keybindings, then reset everything to the same keys as I’m using in WoW.

The next great challenges MMO face is buffing up social functions because these games are too dang lonely to be played.

I’m too lazy to rebind anything except the auto run tab on WoW hahaha

I remember in EQ there was the emote “/yell” which made your character yell for help for someone nearby to see. When I started playing WoW I kept trying to yell for help every time I got into trouble but of course it works totally differently so I just ended up typing /yell and hitting enter then confused as to why my character wasn’t moving then finally realizing and just shouting wwwsssaaddadwwws before ultimately dying.

It’s 2024 and there are still times when I’ll die because my bullspit keyboard refused to accept my inputs and then I hit enter and get Vanndrel waxing philosophically:

“wwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddssssssssssswwwwwwaaaaaaa”

Players have to make that choice first. In terms of social functions, a full guild system revamp allowing for far less dependance on Discord would be great. I really HATE Discord due to its janxy setup. Guilds could function much like Facebook groups do in-game.
