    Yeah, its been amazing. I think smartphones over the years while providing closer communication have also separated people more then ever. Humans for the most part crave some sort of real connection with others and interaction with the world. Smartphones don't do that, and most video games don't do that. Pinball however does, its game a lot of times played with others and exists physically in the real world.

    I may actually say that smartphones have partially contributed to pinballs comeback as it made people desire a physical game. Same goes for why board games and D&D have also seen a resurgence over the past few years.

    Quoted from Frax:

    MOST videogames don't do that.
    Fixed that for you. Seems incomplete as you said it. It's really hard to say that all of them don't, when I met my wife through a game, and on multiple occasions have met up in person with people from the same game, and communicate regularly with people in the current MMO that I play....to the point that one of them encouraged me to upload some music I'd made 13+ years ago to Soundcloud..

    You're right, updated I remember playing Lord of the Rings Online for years and really enjoyed the sense of community with the people I regularly played with.

    Quoted from Frax:

    Hell yeah. I played on Elendilmir. My wife and I bought lifetime subs, only played for 4 years, but as long as we want to go back, we can, for free. That was the BEST 400 bucks we ever spent on one game! LOL.

    Lol! That's great. I also purchased the lifetime pass, played on Brandywine. We must both have a ton of points built up by now on the store. I read that content is still being added to the game after 12 years.
