Same deal with MMO players. They don’t miss “the social aspect of MMOs”, they miss the novelty of sitting around with like-minded degenerates in a cool-looking chatroom until the dungeon queue pops.
I never played an mmo, but i played a shit ton of TF2 back in the day, and we would just play 2fort for 10 hours and talk. It was basically just a big chatroom where we shot each others and stole our intel.
Honestly tho we have lost the social aspect of MMOs. Back when WoW came out you didn’t have shit like Discord, where all communication for every game lives now. At best you had TeamSpeak but for the most part communication was done primarily in the game. Combine that with zones and quests that have you killing the same mobs for hours in an empty field and people actually chatted quite a lot more than they do nowadays. We’ve kind of optimized out the natural communication in MMOs and idk if we’ll ever be able to get it back really.

Current MMOs still have social aspects anyway. Most people doing raids on OSRS aren’t soloing them because that’s fucking hard
