As a socially isolated autistic neet MMOs give me a sense of community and curb a bit of loneliness, while providing me with a sense of purpose and goal that I can share with others around me, without forcing me to engage in conversation and exhaustingly keeping up a social mask.
MMOs as a solo player make video games feel alive again. Doing things in a shared world with others, without being forced to interact, is often enough to make any game feel 90% less hollow and meaningless than single player games
