I’ve always been partial to tank and dps, two low maintenance roles in a traditional party. Back when I played Everquest live in 2000 I had a Paladin and a Monk I’d trade off on back and forth. Though I never got to do raids it was still fun to do small pick up groups in dungeons like Crushbone or Blackburrow where I tanked on the Paladin or did assist dps on the Monk.

    I have no time for MMOs anymore but I’m the support class.

    I remember being a kid playing Ragnarok Online as a Dancer (a girl-only class), because my guild needed one for certain spell combinations. During guild events people would always refer to me as “she” in voice chat and I didn’t have a mic to correct them, but I also kind of liked it for some strange reason.

    And of course since I already have a girl account, I might as well also make a sage character - the mechanics are good but also her dress is pretty…

    MMOs were a very trans experience for me.

      Telling my irl friends “I’m only playing a girl because the sex-locked items are needed to optimize my build!”

      Yo yo yo, RO is based. Loved it so much growing up. I played a Sage and a Monk. The game used to come free with a cereal box in my country. All the kids in my neighbourhood started playing together.

      I’ll always love RO. The music is so nostalgic to me. I sometimes catch it randomly in some YouTuber or another’s background music.
