Moreover, I’m curious what other communities exist out there that could fill the same spot. day so being a bit of a time-sink is a given when entering this genre. That combination of “game I enjoyed” and “community that now exists” has made me really wonder what it would be like to be if I had invested time into No Man’s Sky. I really love final fantasy, but I want to know how much time-sucking this game. But because I had other games to play and because it didn’t have the community-focused aspects it does now, it got left behind.

It’s still a bit crazy if I stop to think about it, of course - but now it just sort of is.Īnd while I realize that not many games have existed (consistently) as long as WoW has, I do realize there are communities with members as fervent and as dedicated as the ones in WoW’s. Besides making economy more accessible and transparent, it also made a great.

A single video game I’ve played and had some community or another to be involved with for so long. New players (and those without large amounts of time to devote to acquiring.
