Yes.

I agree with lots of what’s already been said and haven’t got much to add to those extant conversations, so let me try to add in some that I’ve not seen:

RuneScape is a candidate. I started way back with RS Classic (the sprite-based one!).

Oh, and Dwarf Fortress too. That began in 2009.

Achaea and/or Lusternia are way up there but I don’t imagine anyone but me can share the experience.

Oh, as well, Mount & Blade: Warband. Quite the adventure(s).

I don’t really game anymore. But this thread did dredge up some memories, old and new.

Thank you.

I won’t deny that it’s a fun game. But… If you think it was well-written, it’s the rose glasses. The story is really nonsensical if you think about it…

… or you could let an SA goon tell you about why, instead.
