I’m curious what game you guys have sunk the most hours into. Mine has to be RuneScape, I don’t know the total hours because I’ve had so many accounts over the years I don’t even remember half my passwords, but it’s definitely in the thousands of hours now. I’ve played on/off RS2, OSRS, and RS3 since 2004.
I’ve also probably sunk anywhere from hundreds to 1000+ hours into Skyrim and Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, though I don’t know the counts there either since neither were through Steam. Embarrassingly enough I’ve never completed either of those two games - I get sidetracked making so many alt characters.
What about you guys? & What got you hooked on said game?
Wurm Unlimited is the privately hosted server version of WO. Anyone could set up a WU server and run it how they wanted as far as map size, mobs, mods, skill gain/action timer speed, etc etc.
It was very attractive to anyone who didnt want to play on Wurm Onlines geological time scale. It was mostly 1:1 with content and updates with WO too, until development was abandoned like…6? years ago? or so.
It was super attractive to anyone who didnt want to drag ass on the glacial speed that WO progress is based on. Typical servers ran 3x skill timer/action speed… Which made the game much more playable, as a good balance between WO’s glacial speed, and the “Just start people with 99 skill cause theres no point” speeds that a rare few servers ran.
I had many years of great fun playing it… but every server I ever played on eventually imploded due to staff/admin drama… and no, i was not on the staff or admin of any of them, was just a player caught in the crossfire
