I used to love MMOs (Eve Online and FFXIV) back when I had masses of free time and could get away with coming home from work and getting stuck into a game from 6pm until 12pm every night. The communities I got to join in with were great and it was really fun. Loved Dota 2 for years as well.
Now that I’ve got a kid though I have to play things that I can pick up and put down quickly and easily and that’s kind of pushed me into mostly playing single player games now. Currently playing FFXVI.
I think it’s chicken and egg.
I find it hard to spend much time on Lemmy cause there’s not as much content being posted… Which is because there aren’t as many users… But users won’t come until there’s content…
I also still stand by the whole instance thing being confusing for someone to join (though I do understand its benefits I guess)
