I played FFXI from 2004..to..2012 I think. Yeah there was more to do but harder to get people for it. But people were also different, though I wonder it is because we were all forced to deal with each other for 10hours a day. Then again, those long grinding sessions paved the way for a lot of deep strong friendships. I can see why you feel that way(out of habit I still avoid aggroing mobs like the plague). Friends ALWAYS made and break any online game. Sure you can play 'solo' for awhile(aka playing with random strangers you don't know, that you don't click with, etc) but at the end of the day, you really enjoyed half of your day.






Though it can be fun. Though I do think it is missing a particular ingredient.
but that's alright.
