Alexadar doesn't that just miss the entire point? What you're proposing would incite more blob warfare. This new system is about who's Corp is actively on beta, not who's Corp can have a few hours to prepare and bring the blob.

Bahaha, I can see this being totally true too. It's gotta be the accent, its just untrustworthy.

Yeah the coin system seems like a nice idea to begin with, but Alexadar picked it apart pretty easily. Sounds too much like a homogenizing feature that popular theme park mmos tend to employ.

I'm outside the americas and I have a credit card :s

I know the NPCs that got you today as I was mining in their roam path as well. Im guessing you got double demobbed and it was GG? The only advice I can give is to mine in a group, so that if you do miss the warning on your radar (as I do ALOT ) your friend can PM you a warning.

As much as Id rather just sit there and mine risk free for countless hours, I much prefer this system that means there is somewhat risk to afk mining.

Ive done about 20 hours of mining on Tell, and Ive only come across the NPC roamers today, so I dont think you're doomed per se, I just think that if you see them, GTFO and mine somewhere else.

Good job lads!

It's not as clear cut as a monthly plan, but the dev blog keeps me interested as I see some of the new stuff coming. Giving exact plans never works, and it just creates tension.

I admit I dont know much about this sort of stuff, but wouldn't my pingplotter results show that there is an issue with the traffic on the way to the server? Keep in mind, I have run ping plotter maybe 3-4 weeks ago, and not seen any sort of packet loss (minimal at best). Therefore it could be a transatlantic node going haywire - like I said - I dont know much about it, I'm just trying to apply logic.

Confirming this has only happened recently. I am from Sydney Australia (ISP = Telstra). I have used pingplotter before, and not seen packet loss like this prior to the last few days.

The dialogue between Tehol Beddict and Bugg is at the top of my list. So funny.

But you consider wheel of time a younger-type genre, compared to Goodkind's Sword of truth?

Although I did begin reading the WoT books at 13-14, and started reading the Goodkind books around 20 (Im now stuck on Chainfire - Ive read 2-3 other books since starting chainfire). Goodkind doesnt seem to be a very good author imo, quite dissapointing for me. It's simplistic and the characters only tend to show shades of grey towards the latter end of the series (if barely).

You think your corp sucks? Try paying 80% tax.
