So did people who haven't played since literally a week after launch but he did miss a fair chunk of our more important people so it's all good. Shifting our focus now but it's still annoying and people shouldn't post this stuff.

Well I am glad now have a handy list of people to avoid in game so they don't gently caress up my RP. Kind of funny how some of the more prominent names on that list are either misspelled or missing completely. These guys did a lot of research finding people who haven't touched this game in forever, and I appreciate the amount of man-hours it must have taken to compile a list that was obsolete before completion.

Well, at least from the numbers of people that launch the game from Steam the daily logins have tripled since the new content launched and I would guess that more people launch the game from the standalone client than Steam.

Yeah, I hate to admit it but the game is actually kind of fun again? They've finally reversed all the dumb grindy bullshit related to leveling, the queues are puggable again, there's a new event going on, a new battlezone, and all that sort of stuff.

And with the iconians out of the picture they can actually do some new plots that aren't "it was the iconians all along!" :effort:

If they leave the double XP permanent I'll agree about the grindy leveling. Without that the admiralty system helps, but grinding spec points for a new alt is still BS. And it's a transparent push to get people to buy more $30 ships.

This actually wasn't XEAN, It's ̶𝕠̶𝕗̶𝕗̶𝕚̶𝕔̶𝕚̶𝕒̶𝕝̶𝕝̶𝕪̶ ̶𝕟̶𝕠̶𝕥 written by @Dukhatt, An odd person who came to The Dental Academy (correct me on this?) and began nagging the hell outta everyone For "Da Power" Which I can only assume is a variety of non-existant hacks and outfit modifications. He shared this with me shortly after I posted a pic of me and Nbreeki dancing on Facebook so he could warn me that Denalt are Haxor and trole. He later offered a Repent Thread in response to his fleet leader Tamujiin's which unlike Tamu's was almost completely ignored.

Also when did people start considering House of Beautiful Orions a goon fleet? Please tell me it's because of all the alts I have in there.

It has gotten easier for the people who have been playing for ages or can afford to dump lots of money. The Admiralty system is a step in the right direction but it straight up rewards buying tons of ships you'd never use otherwise just to get anywhere, it's frankly completely inaccessible to any new player. So yeah, still needs work and also the return of the Gozertorp has me a little worried.

On the other hand, a factory fresh character will get at least five ships for Admiralty on hitting Admiral, which is enough for a slow start. From there, there are giveaways and the summer and winter events. It encourages players to buy ships because that's their business model but it's far from the worst way they've encouraged doing so.

Could be a play on sellsword maybe? That's probably too clever though he should've gone with Star Whore since that's the only pun I can think of and he actually used that in the end and it's better. It's also hard to tell if he's trying to make a point or is just that dumb or both.
