So I have been trying to scratch an itch I don’t know if I can still scratch. Are there any MMOs that still exist that use numpad movement, have a clunky UI, and really let you immerse in the game (I’m talking about the good old fashioned run across the continent to do anything days. Like Ruins of Kunark days.)

    I appreciate that you can pick out direct mechanical and design elements you miss. I think a lot of us, myself included, want games to be “like they were before” and fall into the trap of just wishing we had the energy and time to immerse ourselves like we did when we were 9, or 14, or 22. No graphical style or design philosophy can turn back the hands of the clock…

    That being said, I wish you all the best in recapturing your passion. Enjoying things is the key to happiness.
