  • I dont blame you for that being the change that made you win EvE, I also think fondly of that era, but also recognize that MMO players in 2025 would have hated the old game. The timegating of skills made it so characters had value, now they dont, people do and the shifting dynamics in 0.0 have come to reflect that (See the N+1 problem and the attempts to claw back an out of control ISK faucets).

    I do think the game is in a healthier place, but thats only been over the last year or so.

    Hello, Y2K called, this is literally what caused it. Years stored in 2-digits had to be fixed on every computer on the planet before the calendar rolled to 2000. (People thought nukes would fly, glitches would crash the stock market and the world was going to end)









  • Which ring? Limbo aint so bad, just windy, Oklahoma building codes would be more than sufficent, and you get to pal around with all the famous people who croaked before big J showed up. Real estate in some of the lower rings should get pretty cheap, you would not need much infrastructure for heating and cooling as the tempeature varies wildly between the rings (which according to Dante, are atleast walking distance apart)

    I personally would set up an ice rink adventure camp on ring 9. Cocytus does not appear to thaw, so long as you dont mind skating around the traitors frozen in the ice and stay an arms length from Lucifer, you can probably set up a pretty good tourist trap.

    This is exactly what happened for my favorite tech support call of all time was. Worked support for a biotech firm and the site director and his EA went to some conference out of state. Went out of my way to make sure nothing would expire and they could use the VPN, usual due diligence and such. Get a very paniced call on the last day and they say there is nothing wrong, but the EA was freaking out as a ton of nerds in costume just showed up. I did some digging about the venue and found out it was the same con I attended in high school.

    Spent the next while explaining what anime and anime conventions were to a very eastern-european middle-aged woman and her boss. Oh the tales of tech support.
