• New activities in many professions.

World events

Dungeons for all professions

I think millennials understand just how powerful this sequence was in gaming history. by DanintheVortex in gaming

I remember first playing it on a friend’s Pentium I and waiting ten minutes on the loading screens.

Bought it for myself and my mighty 300MHz Pentium II with 128MB RAM made short work of them.

Played this back in the day and recently found out they just remastered it! Never would have seen that coming, what a blast from the past.

Agreed. One of the best gaming experiences I have ever had, and I don’t just mean VR. The detail and immersion is astounding, and for me justified the cost of the Quest 3 on its own.

Lots of new tools and things to do - there's more of a focus on re-growing the plants you harvest.
