I remember when I first joined nostr, I commented how it felt like old school world of warcraft. I spend a lot of time on short-form social media apps because that's where my target audience is, but now I know why I made that comparison.

Many games returned to classical versions because the first principles of many of those MMORPGs were good, but much of those realms depended on social energy and interactivity. They were worlds you could do things in, but with other people.

Over time, gamers aged and needs changed. So they added more tools to make it more welcoming for busy players, but this eventually took away from the hard-earned interactivity of previous eras. You could just press a button to queue up with others using matchmaking systems and things of that sort.

Social media experienced this with recommended content and feeds. People still interact, but in a way where others aren't needed, or are taken for granted.
