Reminds me of when I first started online gaming back in 2000. I swear everyone was a middle aged American back then.

I used to play Everquest back in 2000/2001 and all you'd meet where housewives and stay at home dads.

I played a ported 2D Korean MMO in 1998 that had a celebration when they reached 1000 people online at once, remember basically all of the most well known guild leaders and strongest characters being middle aged Americans.

The game is still going which is wild to me. It was originally developed by Nexon who made Maplestory.

Screenshots remind me of Graal. I really enjoyed weird RPing on that when I was younger.

There was actually a pretty solid amount of RP, there were player run sublcasses with unique spells that you had to apply for. You had to write a piece of original poetry to be accepted into the Muses, who had weekly poetry revels and there was a merchant class that could give your equipment unique names and you had to show them how good you were at making money.

They also had events like one of the GMs went mad and basically fought the entire server.

Oh yeah I remember that game, my cousin had it on a demo disc along with another 2D mmorpg, dark ages by them.

I played Dark Ages for a while too.

I remember the trail version of the game, wild that these a still going on today.

Yeah I'm genuinely curious what the demographic for 25 year old mmos is.
