With someone on Discord the other day who insisted that since SQ42 is “done” then that means that SC itself is going to be done soon, because they’re one and the same. When I asked for a source, he said I needed to watch six days worth of CGI interviews to understand. Lmao, also I don't believe for a second that Squadron 42 is anywhere near finished. Maybe they finished the mess hall scene, but most likely Croberts is still working on mocapping immersion animations of people leaning against railings and eating breakfast

Maybe the Quanta simulation is so realistic it took over the closed system and CIG is doing everything in their power to keep it contained for if it ever leaks into the wider internet it will take over humanity and we will all be living in The 'Verse.

People want permadeath in MMOs until they actually play a permadeath MMO. I think the only surviving one of any note is Realm of the Mad God and that's such a unique case in so many ways that you can barely use it as an example.

Worf posted:this is a joke right lol Monocle Cat has said that if you want to play through the story again, you have to buy another copy, as that character is tied to background for the universe. Or something. You can't just play again, as all those decisions have been made and insert 12 paragraphs on why.

Didn't he say he learned that based on a chat he had with a developer at a bar citizen, or am I thinking of something else? I'd be really curious to see the actual origin of that particular factoid.

there's certainly nothing stopping you from buying a new copy of the game for each playthrough ... aside from it not existing, of course

Actually I might have misremembered, I don't think he said the game has permadeath requiring a new copy of the game, but rather you can only play through and finish the game ONCE before requiring a new copy. I.E., you will respawn at a checkpoint if you die, but you can never load an earlier checkpoint or start a new game except for buying a new copy. I'd need to see a quote from him where he mentions it to confirm, though, and I'm not doing the psychic damage of digging through MC posts. Which is impossible and absurd for a variety of reasons, of course. What if you hit a game breaking bug in your current save, for instance.

Just having a normal death in Everquest in 2001 was a loving nightmare. I've had many hours long, even having to log out and get back at it the next day, corpse runs. As many of you have mentioned before, none of these people have played game in decades.

If I recall, only one of your corpses holds your gear and you lose experience, permanently, each time you die. So if you say, fall of the boat and die on the literally 30 minute non-stop boring trip from the south to the northern human town (freeport?), then you're hosed. Very very badly.

It sounds like all of these people are trying to stick it to players that they feel play games the wrong way, except they’ve never actually encountered any other players in any other games because they don’t play games. Like they want to punish people that they’ve never met, and that probably don’t exist, which is fair because the game that they want to use to do it also doesn’t exist

So if you say, fall of the boat and die on the literally 30 minute non-stop boring trip from the south to the northern human town (freeport?), then you're hosed. Very very badly. In OG if you died you respawned without any gear, all your gear was on your corpse. You had 24 hours logged in time and 7 days overall to get to your corpse and loot it or it decayed. An empty corpse decayed faster but I don't remember the timing. If bound (where you respawn) somewhere dangerous, or could become dangerous (such as a zone-in), you could respawn and die continuously if afk. And yeah you lost a ton of XP, about a 1/10th of a level. Given that a good 8 hours in an efficient group would get you like half a level, dying a bunch of times was devastating. You could get a cleric to res each of your corpses for some XP recovery but it was difficult to find, so you'd sit there with your 8 corpses and try to find a cleric willing to come sit there with you and cast res over and over for 20 minutes (given mana regen time), or the empty ones would poof in a short amount of time, taking any chance at XP recovery with them. Also if you got to your corpse with gear, and looted it without leaving anything on it, it'd disappear along with your chance to get it resurrected and recover hours of exp. Also if you accidentally right-clicked one of your empty corpses on accident it'd disappear. EQ was rough. It was in a good market share position but stuff like led to it being abandoned en masse once WoW came along. I do kinda miss it though, it was pre-wiki and the only game I ever played where I had tons of friends because you had to.
