EQ is going to be 25 years old this year. Let that sink in.

I logged in a week or two ago. It took me so long just to figure out how to launch it since it's not eq.exe any longer. I knew the launcher had replaced it but I wasn't sure where that was.

And for some reason I was in Icefell which I don't know why. I think maybe because I logged out in the guild housing zone. Anyway, I couldn't remember how to find port locations. I eventually used the Origin AA once I found that hotkey. Or maybe it was the Vet AA ability. Is that Origin? I don't recall.

Then, everybody used to be AFK in the middle of the Guild Lobby now for some weird reason everyone is on the left side. What is up with that?! Even with that change I definitely noticed less characters there than I did the last time I logged on.

I do miss EQ (at times) but I'm not sure I can see myself playing it because it's just one big hamster wheel. Sure you get better abilities and weapons.. But the enemies also get more abilities and HP to balance that out. But that really describes most games these days.

I also don't think I could play it at the casual level but joining a guild and having to deal with all the BS like raids and attendance and DKP feels a lot like a job. And I already have a job.
