I just did that with the Manor Lords the city builder. Looked super cool, was way way too steep of a learning curve and very slow for me, so I never went back. If I don’t see a game getting more fun or accessible after ten hours, I’ll never touch it again. Basically did this for Rust, Ark, Pal World, and Zomboid most recently.
Prior to WoW a much better MMO, EverQuest, was already out. There’s a reboot server that’s about to launch the second expansion on the 1st that’s free to play run by enthusiasts. It’s called Project Quarm and it’s easy to get going.
