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

    I liked dungeons crawls. But no way can a game provide enough content in enough time to support that. Seems like I read a long time ago they first wanted EQ to be start here, go here, get exp along the way and then on to the next dungeon. That didn't even make it out of alpha probably because...

    I went to OK when I was a kid. About 1980-1981 and we were driving around and the weather looked "bad" but as we were going around a lake/dam we saw a half dozen tornados in the span of about an hour. No thanks.

    Rather have events that dropped accelerators. Made it worthwhile for high SP players because it was worth more than injectors. Worth it for low SP players who either used them or sold them for good isk. The last time they did this most of the clothes they give away is stuff they can't sell like...

    You gonna have one of those eye hooks so you can use a wire/cable to hold up the far end a little? Might need one or some diaganols to keep it from sagging. Maybe not depending on how heavy it is.

    The AMA of the CEO the other day he said 10,000 new people a week try Eve. I find that incrediably high and sounds really inflated. He then said almost none of them stick around. That sounds legitimate. Sounds like 10,000 made throw away characters to bot lol.

    The consumer base is not the same. Got to have rewards now. Got to have skins and "micro" transactions and such. Anything they dn't get in the first 30 seconds it's on the internet and streams. Can be totally mapped out from start to finish. Downtime in game? More like move to another game time.

    My grandmother is a fantastic painter. She used to enter regional competitions and win. She started around age 60. It never filtered down to me at all.
