I’ll start with mine.
My ancient history in online gaming starts with StarCraft. The best time I ever had playing something, good old days.
Played grim dawn around 2019 (1.000 hours) and them bumped up into mobile versions of LOL style games ( played Arena of Valor for a couple of years). After my addiction to AoV I decided I needed something less poisonous to spend my time, and started trying a phew Arpgs just searching google.
Tried some souless mobile Arpgs, all them lasted less than a month, sometimes days. And some other good titles (Eternium and Warframe, but eventually the thrill faded). More recently I got hyped up by Lost Ark, Diablo Immortal and Undecember.
First I tried Lost Ark, and while I don’t see it as a very bad game it was mostly a underwhelming experience, for about a month or 2. Jumped into Diablo Immortal, and that experience really as a very big deception with Blizzard. Jumped out as soon as I perceived that it had no salvation. I was still waiting for Undecember, my last bet, and I dropped it even before installing the game, as soon as I read steam reviews. A pay to win game.
By a great twist of fate the same reviews saying to stay away from Undecember recommend players to try Last Epoch, that it was much better. Why not ? And here I am, since November 2022, the only game I play, 655 hours, I think 250-300 before multiplayer and I already have most time with the online patch. Still in love with the game.
