It won't keep me forever -- there's just more to do in games that do self-motivated challenge runs better than 14 does.
But just the idea that there can be an MMO endgame that respects my time is... nice, honestly. Especially after bouncing off Warframe for the dozenth time and all of its incredible FOMO.

Caught up on MSQ through 6.0, and gotta say, I'm relieved that the endgame is no longer "tomestones and raid or perish" like it was during the HW era.
I always preferred solo and small group challenges and deep dungeon, and seeing a lot more of the current late game geared in that direction is more of my speed honestly.
I made a little Caves of Qud mod that adds bat people and a village where they reside :)
Been having a hard time working or feeling productive, so I'm opening a few slots to try and get back into things (will probably take 2-3 slots and see how things go from there)
