I’ve been wondering lately if MMOs are actually compatible with how people play games now.

Not in the “MMOs are dead” way people always say every few years — but more in the sense that modern life just feels fundamentally different from the era when WoW, MapleStory, or old-school RuneScape became people’s second lives.

Back then, spending an entire evening grinding mobs, waiting for dungeon groups, or hanging around towns chatting felt normal. A lot of us were students. Discord didn’t exist. Social media wasn’t fighting for every spare second of attention. Games were the online social space.

Now everything feels fragmented.
