I like the mechanic where permadeath occurs if you fail to listen to your cohort’s warnings and get everyone killed. There should be consequences for that more often.

I’m going to bed a little early out of spite, but I have to get up extra early tomorrow, so I hope it will even out.

It was so dark and I was so tired. I checked the time to see if it was bedtime. It was 6:30pm.

While existing Witches and Wizards ran alts to kill players trying to level. It was SO much fun. My group of friends worked as a team to get us all to Wiz level. So permadeath can be amazing IMO.

I used to play a game on Compuserve called British Legends. It was the American port of Richard Bartle’s original MUD. Anyway, permadeath was a big part of the game as players tried to survive long enough to make “Witch” or “Wizard” and achieve immortality… 1/2

As far as helping New World, I didn’t feel our original server needed merging. It was plenty active and populated. I think an analysis of the existing server personalities to find good matches would have been more helpful than the random merging they did.

And yet, I just returned to LOTRO after a couple of years away. All the existing servers were merged into just a very few. The server where I landed is great, with lots of lovely, helpful people. I not only didn’t turn off world chat, I feel comfortable participating in it. Such a difference!

I loved New World in beta and after release. We had a great guild and a real community of people and guilds that worked together to fend off the large invasions. It was a lot of fun. Then they merged servers, creating a new, toxic culture on the result. It wasn’t fun anymore, so I left.

Great analogy. I expected quicksand around every corner as a child. 70+ years later, I’ve never encountered it.

My ceiling right now. It’s pouring rain outside. The only light in this room, aside from the fireplace, is this ceiling projection. I love it.
