Are they the 'epics' of their time, or some things that are less well known?

Wasn't that all online? How is that still going? Ya, I spent a lot of time in guild wars back in the day. Running people to the next stop.

Because they have ai controlled party members (and have since the beginning), it's actually completely playable solo to this day.

You might be surprised how many people still play though.

That was a pre-steam purchase. One of the few old games I no longer have. I could see playing it again.
I kept one chacter in the intro area and leveled him way beyond normal by letting the monsters kill me, which I guess leveled them up, so I could get poinst from killing them again. Dood was like level 17 in the intro map.

I remember people doing that! I never did it myself (way too grindy for me), but it's pretty crazy the game let you do it

Oh yeah. That was grinding for the sake of grinding. No point, other than bending the game. Its not like the extra levels helped all that much. But I was king of the newbs.
