I'll forever chase the dragon that is the joy of playing UO. I want to quit my job and play it 24/7.

Which ones? The wyrms or the big baddies? Dragons one-shot. I remember you needed protection, resistance to fire, and a healer/mage who could heal you consistently between volleys to stand a chance at taming, let alone killing one.

I think this changed during the Mondrian era but in my favorite era, SA/Renaissance, those were the baddies that made you run.

Lich King as well.

Oh, lol, not a literal dragon. "Chasing the dragon" refers to inhaling vaporized drugs (like heroin or fentanyl) from heated aluminum foil, creating a moving, "dragon-like" trail of smoke. It is also an idiom for the elusive, futile pursuit of a high that matches the initial, intense experience, which becomes impossible due to tolerance.
