Thanks for the tip! I need a good holiday game. (I just tried Baldur's Gate 3 and my system isn't good enough because it crashed three times in 30 minutes... got a refund tho)

Music to my ears. I don't have a gaming posse anymore and need more flexible play hours due to family. Downloading now...!
There are a couple things I forget in the above comment that I remembered when I posted a similar comment a couple years ago. That comment is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18341427
Just to close the loop, I started playing EQ yesterday and hoo-boy does it feel like 1999: the graphics, the music, the interactions! I'm blown away by how similar it is to WoW, it kinda feels a little like the later Might & Magic's. There's clearly an evolution at play. Especially in UI.
Anyway, I got past the stiffness of it and it's kinda fun. Can't seem to change my fonts so its a bit of an eye chart thought. LOL. Good stuff!
