I miss playing MMO’s, but micro transactions ruin any sense of progression for me.

Any mmo’s out there that fit the bill?

Cosmetics are fine, as long as you can’t just turn around and sell said cosmetics in game.

      Whoa what? ClanLord is still going? I was playing that in the 90s!

        Yup! The GMs are a lot more active recently, adding things to the game continuously. And now there’s regular scheduled events where the GMs push stories and interaction to a level we haven’t seen in a decade.

          Oh wow that’s sick! I may have to get back in to it.

          When I was playing it was still in beta and I was in Jr. High. I only quit because when they started charging money I couldn’t afford it and my parents certainly weren’t paying for it.

          As an adult now I can totally afford it but I’m not sure my lifestyle allows me the time for it any more.

          I was a healer named Hashak. Probably won’t ring a bell, but 🤷🏻‍♂️

            The game went to no monthly fees a long time ago. They only charge for new accounts and characters. If you have an old account you can just log in and play. There’s a player run news and link site here, that has a link to ‘Clieunk’, a client for modern macs and news since 2001. Though we haven’t always been the best at sending in news.

              That’s freakin’ awesome. I’m totally going to come back!

              I doubt my account is still active. Even if it is, I doubt I have access to the email it would be attached to any more (if that was even a thing back then). It was that long ago and who knows what 14-year-old me would have made the password.
