      Clan Lord

      I played it during the beta way back in ‘97(?) but couldn’t continue when it went to a monthly subscription due to being a teen. I found out it was still going 3 years ago and became re-addicted.

      Now a character is $15USD and no money is asked for after that. No micro-transactions or nuthin’.

      The graphics maintain the ‘97 2D top-down style with chat bubbles, but the game still gets monthly updates.

      Use this client: https://github.com/MrNice/trowllord-releases/releases

      You can log in for free but no progress will be saved and you don’t get to choose your name or anything cool.

      The community is super friendly and helpful and some players have been playing since the start. It’s deceptively deep and there’s wikis to help you figure out what’s going on, but I don’t want to overload you with links right now.

      There’s a discord too, but I’d rather you ask for it in-game to avoid and non-clanners causing trouble

      If a new take on an old MMO is interesting, maybe look up Everquest Legends. It’s basically an oldschool MMO combined with a massive power fantasy. It has problems (many, many problems), but it’s still a pretty good time.
