It's just that it is not an automatic system. They decide how many layers there are. And they decided they wouldn't allow more layers than X (for whatever X they picked) because if they do, thet will not be able to drop to a single layer ever since the population of the server will remain "too...

You've just described the layering tech they are using RIGHT NOW.

"You think you want more servers, but you don't."

You should have sold Activision Stock, they got a big bump.

Hmmm, normally, alliance isn't PvP flagged in their first zone?

If I remember right, each astronaut in the ISS is subject to the laws of his or her country of origin.

RR estimate it at 2760 paperback pages at the moment. It's supposed to be 3 books overall, but that'd be english-style (the english don't bat an eye when they print 1200-pages doorstops).

If that's 150-200k, then yes, they're down to 1 million subs. The rule of thumb that's always been true in MMO land is 1 prime-time player per 5 total players, except during DLC/expansion launches.

Of course it doesn't. There is no problem that can't be adequately solved with a handful of Premium Gems, on sale at 2345 for 4.99$ at our store or 5678 for 11.99$!!!

The bees in that video work very differently from the forestry ones.

The only real part of #2 & #3 I remember is them playing live-action Galaga when the swarm of machines invade Zion.

Any Marvel character that debuted in a Spiderman Comic is part of the rights package at Sony.

What's really important: it's finally coming to OSX!

It's one of the handful of webnovels I've seen that has even tutorials to convert to epub. I assume that, once the last few chapters (we're in straight in the endgame, there's probably two to five chapters left?) it is going to hit Amazon. Because it's in the top 5% (or higher) of webnovels...

Next one is on the 25th.

At the moment, the only allusion they've made is that they intend Classic to become The Classic Trilogy (aka Vanilla+BC+LK), which appears to be their cut-off point (of course, since you get Cata next). So I'm expecting you to have exactly BC and exactly LK. Including the 2 difficulty levels...

Stumbled upon the shining diamond gem of webnovels: Mother of Learning. (or, in the entirety, "Repetition is the Mother of Learning") It is, basically, Groundhog Day meets High Sorcery Fantasy. The premise is simple: following an incident (involving a vexed Lich necromancer trying to shred a...

One word: Currencies. A currency in your game turns the game into a grind. You can get away with some currencies, like... XP... or gold... because those currencies are earned literally everywhere while playing the game the way you want. But if you have only specific locations for a currency...

The US version hides the beard:

Any suggestions for a theme for singleton?

In my days, it was poopsocking, not diapers!

(slight derail: do not forget the upcoming Event Horizon... TV SERIES)

The solo game need to provide some form of advancement. Typically, a solo player would get crafting components, decent but not too good XP, and mediocre gear. Eventually, you need to improve your character by going outside of solo from time to time, or your level/hour ratio goes down faster than...

You guys were modern! At Nevrax in 2000, we (still) were all about C.

Elidroth will probably chime in, but I doubt there's any significant amount of assembly code in the EQ codebase. It's almost certainly C all the way, except for external tools which probably have an ungodly amount of visual basic in them. But then, there's a reason why C was once nicknamed "The...

The whole point of an escape system is that you use it when things go wrong.

I was expecting to have Classic pull me back to WoW after I shut my subscription down, but as the launch of Classic comes closer and closer, I find myself less and less tempted to resub. I'm still mildly interested in the World of Warcraft, but I think that playing it is now a thing of the past...

Since the regular supply of M20 packs (slowly nearing mastery 30) and quest gold has given me a stock of wildcards, I'm starting to look at budget deck suggestions (5M, 13R wildcards max). However, given the rotation, I'm not crafting any card that goes invalid in october (when the faeries come...

Saw this on my usual MMOlite news channel: Yes. The title includes Everquest 3, and there's apparently some teasing from Daybreak about it. Video above is set to the part about it (which is very, very sparse).

As many, if I try to remember an awesome moment in a video game... the first thing that comes to mind is the clipping plane revealing the Bridge between North and East Karanas. (that and the wet slapping sandals sound that suddenly accelerates and you realize a Hill Giant had just aggroed your...

2/3rd of Giphy don't work either. You just have the presentation tool, but not the GIF itself.

It's James Bond in WW1 (if James Bond was a Mexican-born bisexual woman). With Nikola Tesla as Q. But there's more if you read the second book, once you realize exactly where he's headed, in between the 007esque antics of Luz and her geek girlfriend. And you realize it's a metaphor of the 21st...

And if you have infinite time to kill, and are raiding three months after your first encounter, then yes. It's possible. But the entire design of Mythic raiding is to overwhelm you with things and leave you no margin to decide nor err. That's why each boss has more abilities in the mythic...

The fun part is that we get this discussion twice a year at least. And everytime some explains that you don't need addons for anything except maybe the current boss. For whatever instance of the current boss there is.

Fun bit is that, in Paris we broke the previous record by a while 2°C (109 "only" here). Thing is, the heat wave is not equally spread. Unlike some of our previous heat waves in Europe which are usually due to winds coming out of the Sahara, this one's due to the jet stream stalling. The jet...

You can play until lvl 20 (but can't talk, trade, join a guild - I think - anything that would be useful to bots/gold sellers).

Remember: somebody paid real money for that token. And that's why it's doomed. Not because it's bad, but because Kotick Supreme Council will not tolerate a game that doesn't include lots of microtransaction opportunities for long.

Haven't read it, but Dan Jones' The Wars of the Roses (yes, plural) got shot to prominence because it came out during peak Game of Thrones (given the heavy inspiration of said series). The author wrote a number of books on medieval England.

One of the pet peeves I have with Arena is that you can have more than 4 of the same card. If it's from two different sets. You still are not allowed to play more than 4, but you can have 8 Llanowar Elves since they appear in multiple sets. The difference is entirely cosmetic, but you don't get...
