What makes an online game appealing? This is probably a question that many people often ask, and it’s quite easy to find the answer, as it lies in the very essence of being online. In a basic sense, it is a place where gamers can meet, interact, and bring the vibrant atmosphere to life, rather than being isolated and playing games alone like in the days before the Internet developed. However, no one could have expected that recently, a gamer astonished everyone by being the last remaining player on the server, yet still consistently logged in and played for 15 years.
In fact, the young man in this story is a player of a game that is not very famous and has not been updated since 2005, to the point that many people even thought it had completely disappeared. It wasn’t until 17 years later, when they saw the main character’s post on the forum, that everyone realized that the game was still alive. According to the main character, he admitted that he has been playing the game since its early days, and by 2007, he was almost the only one left on the server. For 15 years, he has diligently played the game alone, without any interruptions.
However, this is not the first time this young man has lamented about having to “fight solo”, dominating the server alone for such a long time. Previously, in World of Warcraft, there were also many similar bizarre cases. In fact, in the game Tian Long Ba Bu, which was once very popular in Vietnam in the 2000s, there were also numerous calls for players to “return to their roots”.
Nevertheless, perhaps it is also worth giving a compliment for the effort and perseverance of this gamer. After all, not everyone has the patience to turn an online game into an offline one and play throughout a long 15-year journey like that.
