    I canceled my Paypal account after umpteen years on the second time so at least this goldfish was watching but yeah. We've got a roadmap for what they want and they're not going to just stop wanting it.

    Vaniki probably didn't have any of what would be traditionally regarded as a whale in a monetized video game but people really did buy tons of shit from the cash shop while also maintaining perks for an additional monthly fee.

    Warner Bros filed a copyright claim on the original Wabbit Season. They legally own big nipple rapist Bugs Bunny parody character and the animated short he appeared in. That's theirs now.

    I still think it's possible that Vaniki brought in enough cash from the in-game shop relative to its costs that the low population isn't all that big a deal.

    I've gained a lot of respect for Magicians after the last few TLPs I was on. I had the good fortune of playing with a couple that were really on the ball when it came to maximizing their dps and utility. If you're proactive/responsive on the malos, summoned junk, tank DS, etc. while punching...

    Yeah, it really is the meta. If you're on any raid or in any group you're going to be expected to have a charm pet and manage it properly. Proper management requires some help so it can really grind on you if the tanks keep breaking mez, people kill the double shrunk thing with...

    Damn it, where were you nerds when I was in high school. I too went the "grind until you don't get one-shot" route. I'm not sure if I had any tech at all.

    Pfft, you can farm that snake if you grind a little. I've played FF7 a number of times and I'm still not totally clear as to what the fuck is going on. Did one of the imperfect cell implanted things wreck that snake? Astral project telekinesis a tree through it's fucking face?

    Enchanters are S+ tier in Classic for sure. Some people get burned out from all the charming though. It's raid night, you're doing some dragons and sky, you charm an ice giant, you charm a fire giant and you go on to charm a pixie on top of all the buffing. Pull your pets back! Whose pet is...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    The only thing to keep in mind with an Enchanter is that you will be expected to have and maintain a charm pet in every group and on every raid where there is something to charm. During Classic that's kind of everything with raid charming diminishing in necessity over time.

    Night Court

    There's no way a modern writing room is going to construct a scene in a twenty-two minute television sitcom involving a long, winding story propped up by the comedic timing of half a dozen cast members. One of the reasons the reboot of MST3K didn't work is everything felt so fucking rushed.

    Twenty-two million (sixty-two million inflation adjusted) for ET on the Atari? Is that like 20 million for the license and 2 million on hookers and blow? edit - shit, actually yeah. Looking at the Wikipedia entry for the game it's like 20+ million in licensing. Goddamn.

    There's no royalties in the new OGL which is why a few days ago Kickstarter was patting themselves on the back for negotiating down the 25% Hasbro wanted from projects over a certain figure to 20%. You'll still own your work which is why in the leaked draft we included See, it says you own...

    Basically, yeah. I remember back when the OGL was first introduced back during 2000 and knew quite a few game designers at the time. No one was worried that if they launched a version of their system converted for d20 that WotC was going to deauthorize the existing OGL and implement a new one...
