    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That's a bit about reward vs time. In EQ, most of every mob gave you something. Components for spell crafting, gems for spellcasting, faction, but more importantly, XP, notably when AA appeared. Named and their drops were important, sure. But they were not 100% of what you were there for. But...

    Forget Korea. Korea is now the realm of mobile-PC crossovers "MMO", riddled with microtransaction shit.

    The Astronomy Thread

    In other news, NASA decided to "increase its prices" by ending all subsidies. Like from $3000 to $20,000 for 1kg of cargo. Hope that crew who has 4 seats to visit the ISS got the old prices... https://spacenews.com/nasa-hikes-prices-for-commercial-iss-users/ (to be fair, 3k per kilogram did...

    Don't they plan to catch it with the upper flaps instead of letting it land on legs?

    Riot Games MMO

    You still had a hundred variants of Legolaaaasssseh elf hunters running around, so you can probably get creative. Although with something as short as Lux, it's going to be harder.

    Riot Games MMO

    If it's a MMO, then you are probably not playing any of the main characters from LoL. Lux is probably going to require you to collect 4968 some crystals, 125 stones of something, collect 300 elemental runes, or somesuch instead.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Hmmm, no. Everyone knew that Earth was round. It was known since the Greeks, and pretty much canonically accepted. Flat Earth is a modern movement that based itself on a few allegorical illustrations, like the famous Flammarion engraving (which depicts the end of the quest for knowledge, not...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    Thing is... nobody makes good videos of "new upcoming MMOs" anymore... I mean, take the original video. Nearly all those "upcoming 2019/2020 PC MMOs" are still at the crowdfunding early access stage, or dead. Astellia launched, and shuttered a year later (at least in Korea, meaning it's kept...

    Skye Storme's series, I see... Clicking on any item on your construction interface lists what it is used for, assuming you have researched the appropriate technology. Like, early, it shows my Particle Container being used only for the two Logistic Towers, but once I've researched it, it will...

    And yet, it adds so much flavor to that game. About every item on its belt is boring. But the fluo cubes? Those you recognize instantly.

    Be sure to check what you get on the Patreon for any webserial though. Not everyone applies the same rules to various tiers. Beware Of Chicken, for instance, does not do advance chapters - it's purely an appreciation for the author and Discord access to chat with him and the rest of the big...

    There aren't many series (or standard books) that include a heavy crafting aspect. Well written, and promising (which is why I picked it as a patreon for the next months).

    The whole thing is an hilarious comedic take on all that is xianxia. It's what we've been waiting since Arrogant Young Master Template A Variation 4 's author vanished! (homage made with chapter 6 title) "You Tell 'em, Big D!"

    Fair warning: One of my biggest gripe with the series is that, at one point, the author completely switches progression. Suddenly, the System is not important at all. It's all about "images" and cultivation-inspired progression. All the interesting mechanics that were used? They no longer...

    Yea, the ninth (since Pluto is now merely the most famous TNO instead of a planet) planet (if it exists, some studies say that the 9th hypothesis is not necessary to explain the orbits) is more massive and thus probably larger than Earth, but probably less than Neptune.

    Things happen, but very few of them. Most chapters have a kind of sameness to them that make them blur in your mind, which isn't good. (New) stuff does happen, but not often. It's still way above most RR stories in terms of writing per se, but it is probably starting to suffer from serialitis...

    Spoiler warning for those following Magic Smithing. It's my Feb/March Patreon sub (I usually sub at least 2 months periodically to any web serial that I really follow - and boy, the author draws over $9,000 per month on that one). Shit is about to hit the rotating impeller.
