The most shocking to me, is that those servers are still up and running. In a day and age of dead games, it's a serious feat.
I miss the classic era of DAoC and still hum various town music to this day. Cotswold being the most recurring.
Seriously though, I never got near those numbers. I did put about 2500 hours into TFC and TF2 before it became a bot hellscape.
Maybe 2500 on 2 accounts that were both my gf and I on rocket league. Usually on the same team. Over several years in our 30s.
Maybe hit 1000 on worms2demo online as a kid.

Is it bad I recognized it as daoc from the NPC font?
I 100% thought this was Everquest
I did too. But I played when they had the starter zone and sadly never got very far out of it. Once in a while I'd find someone who'd invite a high level character to clear a dungeon (or what ever the eq lingo is) but never was able to venture much outside the cities
I haven't thought of that game in over a decade. I beta'd it
I looked up my old character just the other day—my account must had been compromised because all of my gear was gone.
I could totally see myself going back to play again and pick up where I left off (after 18 years), but I don’t think that’s possible anymore.
The Guardian in the back has that look on her face like she just lost a bet that you wouldn't return until 20 years passed.
I thought that was eq1 at first glance
Ditto, I was about to start waxing poetic about my bard.
Wait, the guardian isn’t your character?
She doesn't even know that I'm a guardian for her
Long live the Blackspire Guard
