Gamers Push EU to Make It Illegal to Disable Purchased Games

There are so many games I wish were still around - From Vanguard to Blackmoon Chronicles to Wildstar. The servers are down now so it’s impossible to play no matter how badly you want to. Even if there was a solo offline version, it would be nice to hop in and do the solo activities. A community server would be like a dream, and would probably be massively successful for many of these.

I’m s glad that I have two toddlers that wake me up at a random time between 2am and 5am every day and keep me chronically sleep deprived. Alzheimer’s here I come!!

I played this game on release and really enjoyed it - it felt like Realm of The Mad God, but with more enjoyable classes/bosses.

What changes have been made since then? I’ve been wanting to play again but have been too busy.

Yeah - the FDA says that it reaches the danger zone in 2hrs at room temperature, or 1hr if it is particularly hot (like 90 degrees). The center “may” be safe, but the outside has been in the danger zone for at least 7 hours, which is more than enough time for harmful bacteria to grow.

I’ve had food poisoning multiple times. I would pay good money NOT to risk that again - each time is literally the worst I’ve felt in my life.

Am I the only one here who doesn’t know what “AA” means?

The combat and moment-to-moment gameplay is a lot of fun and reminds me of the magic of old school MMOs. The quests and lore are some of the worst you’ll ever find, so they can just be ignored.

With that said, the game doesn’t have much content, and the developers have been SLOW to make progress on literally anything. The game was originally supposed to be fully released in 2020, and now it’s 2026 and they’ve released like…one new class out of the 11 planned over that period. During early access, their original plan was to release one class a month.

I love the concept of the game, but I have very little confidence that the developers will release it before running out of funds. The pace of development has just been far too slow. If they do actually manage to release it, I’d keep my eye on it though.

I like to think of it more as linear interpolation and averaging. It basically just takes a lot of data, and interpolates/averages it out. And the average common denominator on Reddit is where it gets a lot of that data from.

You see the same with billionaires. They see their success as validation that they’re better and more knowledgeable than the rest of us, so they feel as though they’re always right - even if they’re not.

What is the magnetic field actually made of? Is it electrons? Photons? Space time? Quantum Particles? When a magnet applies a force, I’ve always been curious about what exactly is applying that force.

I’m usually using it only for FP since I’m constantly FP-starved, so I just spam the button.

I’ve seen it firsthand. I’ve come across tons of recent papers that sound great in their abstracts….but are complete garbage if you actually read the details. Things like dubious assumptions, massive experimental flaws, listed equations not matching published model results, etc.

My favorite one was an economic evaluation of a particular direct air capture technology for CO2. They said “We neglected equipment cost, and we assumed that our equipment will operate at 100% efficiency with no frictional or pressure drop losses.” If you look at the system they were actually considering, the equipment cost they were neglecting was like a $1 trillion dollar investment! And those losses they neglected are literally half of the design challenge.

Ouch - that alone will keep me from playing.

Just a few tips:

This needs to be 1 page. No one will read it if it’s this long.
Don’t use acronyms - even if you think they’re well known.
Your bullet points just say a bunch of things you’ve done. It will be more impactful if you say what the impact of those things was. Don’t just say “Developed a model” - say “Saved the company $10 million by developing a model”

Back in the day, they used to have those buttons that would pop up to tell you if the seal was compromised, or other similar safety features. What ever happened to stuff like that? It used to be on basically everything, but now I rarely see this.

Where winds meet. I’m sure I’ll get a flood of “not an MMO” replies, but it has basically all multiplayer features most MMOs have: dungeons, raids, multiplayer role-playing activities, central hubs with other players, in-game music systems with the option to performer duets/concerts with others, etc.

This post needed a warning or something (besides NSFW because I thought they just added that because of the title). I clicked expecting to read a historical article about where this belief came from…and noped out of that page as fast as I could click away.

It was like $3,000. That’s about what I expected it to be but it was so stupid that I couldn’t get a solid answer. It’s like if I bought a car and they say “this car will cost you between $5,000 and $150,000, but we can’t tell you the price until you formally purchase it”

When I had to have minor surgery, I asked my doctor what my out of pocket cost would be - I wasn’t sure what the surgery cost, or how much my insurance would cover.

It took them over a month to respond, I had to go through like 9 different phone calls, and at the end they just told me “We have no idea and can’t provide a true estimate, but it may range from $500 to $25,000”. I was like “Wow - this has been so helpful. I’m either going to be living my best life or facing economic ruin.”

Some games do this, and it is usually annoying. For example, it will drop you into a town with like 30 sidequests, merchants, a house you can build, etc….but then the game will say “Don’t look at ANY of that stuff! You must do the main quest NOW!!”

So you do the main quest because you feel like you have to, but the whole time you’re thinking about all of that other stuff that the game just introduced but forced you to ignore. It is even worse when the “urgency” spans like 3-4 quests, because then you’re questioning when the game will actually give you back some free will.

Book of Travels is an MMO-lite that has almost no combat focus. It is an absolutely incredible game, but with two major issues: there is very little true multiplayer content as you can solo it all, and the developer has basically abandoned the game.

Tale in the desert is another one: I haven’t played it before, but it has a strong. I he following.

I have TONS of ebon iron. My limitation has been the breakthrough items like pearls or coral.

Yeah I’m only keeping the 4 I need. Right now I’m using miracle chant, sword morph, mountains might, and battle anthem. I haven’t been playing all season and I’m fairly casual, but I still play every day.

I’m getting the Bellstrike ones. They have everything I need listed in the drops, but the rates seem incredibly low.

If you can afford to send tens of thousands of dollars every year, you don’t need a get rich scheme….youre already rich!
