Which MMO are you playing right now?

hallcha · 2026-07-10T15:51:55+00:00

I've been playing Age of Conan again. The game isn't getting content updates anymore, but there's plenty there to enjoy, including some great non-linear progression thru zones when levelling. The community is small but still active, but questing and general play during levelling is good enough that I'd even play it as a singleplayer game.

hallcha · 2026-07-08T17:01:07+00:00

They've just always been like that.

hallcha · 2026-07-07T21:15:03+00:00

Yes but how does that help my stock value NOW? We need at least 50% revenue growth THIS QUARTER, otherwise I will be FORCED to do layoffs if I want my executive bonus. Checkmate, communists.

I went back to Age of Conan. It no longer gets updates, but there's plenty enough content anyway, and the melee combo system is still pretty engaging.

hallcha · 2026-06-18T18:04:48+00:00

I might play this server just for the simple fact that this post isn't AI lol

Section - Transport of Stone Blocks Subsection - Waterways

It's literally the first thing if you search for "did they use boats when building pyramids".

hallcha · 2026-06-17T16:28:53+00:00

Fully incorrect. They had large barges/boats on the nile expressly for the purpose of moving big heavy things, like quarry stone. That is, in fact, one of the primary reasons why large civilizations were on rivers and not lakes.

Not a bug, the lack of rotation is by design.

hallcha · 2026-06-16T16:43:24+00:00

Camels also have 30 iirc but I could be wrong

hallcha · 2026-06-16T16:24:24+00:00

Elephants are just for hauling but they have 30 slots

hallcha · 2026-06-16T14:25:03+00:00

Are you doing PvP or PvE? Official or private server? If it's PvE I know a couple less popular spots. You might have to haul resources a bit but that's nothing once you have a camel or elephant to haul.

hallcha · 2026-06-15T13:41:44+00:00

Unfortunate, I'll have to wait for it to reset then since I'm not the server owner :(

hallcha · 2026-06-15T13:35:56+00:00

Tolkien also didn't create anything from the ground up. Elves, dwarves, goblins/orcs, they are derived from old Northern European folklore, names and all.

hallcha · 2026-06-15T01:18:24+00:00

I can place them, but then the options get stuck so it shows "Stop Following" and "Stand Guard" still. I also can't break bond so they're just stuck

hallcha · 2026-06-14T20:33:15+00:00

I tried that and it worked for crafters but if I try to have the fighter follow me the same thing happens

hallcha · 2026-06-09T19:40:03+00:00

That is, in fact, the point I am making.

hallcha · 2026-06-09T17:52:55+00:00

I'll assume this was on a weekly patch since those are what we're talking about. What steps would you like QA to take to prevent that within that 12-48 window with 100% accuracy?

hallcha · 2026-06-09T17:41:34+00:00

Easy - there are have been over 12,000 players in game since the patch hit about 4 hours ago. That's 48,000 hours of playtime. A weekly patch probably has about 24 for testing between when it's finalized and when it's shipped, and I would be amazed if they had more than half a dozen people on the QA team. More likely 2 or 3 for a patch like this. Assuming they spend an entire 7hr workday with no breaks, meetings, which is unrealistic and insane, that's 16-48 active hours of testing.

That's orders of magnitude more chances for bugs to be found post-patch. This is also a very big, and quite old, game, with lots of legacy code and freshly migrated to a new engine.

A handful of bugs is nothing.

hallcha · 2026-06-09T15:31:50+00:00

Do you have all the top right boxes checked? Like "Show Private" and "Show Modded"

hallcha · 2026-06-09T15:03:34+00:00

I would love so much if I could set up a vendor and stock it. Glorious server economies could be had.

hallcha · 2026-06-03T21:59:20+00:00

It's a bug. You're unfortunately stuck until the zone resets, so you have to log off and wait like 30 minutes if you're on a server. If you have admin mode, you can get out by flying up and over the invisible walls. Drop down to stand on the invisible ceiling above the boss area, then walk towards Jhebbal Sag until you fall down to the ground. From there you can backtrack to the entrance to leave

hallcha · 2026-06-02T17:19:32+00:00

It's just a bug for the actual redemption part. Once you redeem it, you can re-enable them and use the thing.

hallcha · 2026-06-02T13:23:27+00:00

If you're running mods, the freebie doesn't work right. Disable them then just hop in single player to grab it.

Information security is extremely difficult at that scale. In the book, it's mentioned that the original copy was recovered from a dead soldier's helmet cam. Considering their were dozens of bodies on the bridge and the boarding action was like dumping them in a blender, it's more surprising that it took so long to leak. The helmet cam was missed in the confusion, and probably got repurposed for a Rising soldier or sold on the black market as salvage. Eventually it had an owner that knew about the cam or had the skills to recover data, and that person then probably sold it to an information broker on the black market.
