   wow there's some steam users with some terrifying amounts of hours in really shitty garbage f2p mmos oh my god lol. like i'm talking anywhere from 1.5k to almost 30k hours. like how. maybe i could see that in a game that was like, amazing, a classic, something you could play over and over, but this is like a barely taped together trash throwaway bargain bin money farm for a korean company.

     @root I've done it once to be with a friend. Network effects are strong.

     @Polychrome oh i can see it to be with a friend for sure. being with a friend can be its own fun without anything else, so, if a game can at least enable that, it's good enough for a lot of people that play games together. these however, appear to be largely referring to the gameplay itself and what they like about it in their reviews, none mentioned that the majority of their playtime was anything but solo play lol it's mysterious

     @root not fully related but for awhile I used to go on crappy Korean MMOs and levelled a character just enough to start exploring the world by visiting areas that were far too high level for me to enter, while ignoring the "real" gameplay.
     
     One memorable experience I've had was when I had a little priestess run off to see the world, avoiding monsters by sprinting when they weren't looking or engaged with another player.
     
     While exploring I've heard of a mysterious town in the desert but had no guidance to get there so I just ran around for a few hours, confusing high level players when I approached them for ambiguous directions (mostly only getting "how did you even get here??")
     
     Finally I've found it, and it was just a normal looking town. I explored it for a while and was about to leave when night fell - and all the villagers turned into hostile werewolves.
     
     I ended up spending the night on the roof of a shop. :meowbox:
