Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?

I remember when Age Of Conan was coming out, the grodnards got such a massive boner on because AT LAST A REAL MATURE MMO that they basically just ended up talking about tits and swearing all the time and to an outsider looked like loving children, the same thing is happening here.

I remember reading a thread on their forums that was absolutely insane. I haven't seen anything like it since, at least until Star Citizen started. It was some guy going fully off his meds about basically "nipples=maturity" and "something something hot girlfriend". It was pages and pages of this poo poo. Then AOC came out, promptly faceplanted, and he vanished. Evidently he was awaiting the second coming of Christ Roberts.

I sort of hate how much I've had to think about this, but it really isn't clear.

Thinking about it a little more I think the date of the operation is probably not all that relevant, because to me it seems unlikely that mothers in the stimpire would breastfeed anyway. If you think about it, it's probably more likely that babies get bottle/tube fed using some sort of nutrient paste (probably made out of old teeth or something). Given how frequently pieces of Stimpire citizens are cut off, that seems like the most likely explanation.

For simplicity's sake, my vote would be this -

Children who are born on the 14th of July are subject to skeleton removal and their skeleton is replaced with a silver liquid, condemning them to a life as a blob and being tube-fed for the rest of their lives. Whether this happens at birth or on their fifth year or whatever is the matter of a different ruling.

e: oh good, sniped a page with a post about the logistics of the stimpire.

here, have a shark:


Yeah, like I said having the role of a Stimcouncilor is a great responsibility. We've made great progress (thanks to your research). But for the sake of our sanity I propose having in-depth discourse only on Wednesdays (That way it fits in the CIG schedule better).

We can table the teeth/deskelatization issue until then because frankly I have to think about it before my vote. Granted, we can field random Stimpire questions on off days in the mean time. Any major Stimpire lore concerns we can debate at our next session.

I hope you can second this motion, and out of mutual respect, if you disagree with my proposal I will be all ears.

Wasn't this the game where the serious roleplayers were all upset about because their precious ~guild towns~ kept getting griefed into oblivion? Fun times that one.

Possibly although sieges were broken I think, I dunno.

At the time we were a fresh faced bunch of internet pals and we had met / played WoW and this was the very first time another AAA (lol) MMO was coming out since WoW hit, we were really clueless and just took it for granted that this would be the next big thing.

We were all just :stare: at what we were actually greeted with, and stopped playing before our first month was up.

AoC was amazing and I see so many parallels with the SC fans, just replace mud with metal and you're there really.

I got a couple of characters to 80 in AoC, but there wasn't much to actually do other than go on raids, and raids loving annoy me in MMOs, so I dumped everything and moved onto to the next thing.

I get curious a couple of months ago, so I download it and start up my characters....pretty much the same old same old, but I'm betting they don't have any GMs around most of the time because game chat was

Weirdly it got that 'mature' thing because of the slave chick you rescue from the beach, and I think she got a top before the Beta launched.

Waiting for S42 and the promised terrible cutscenes wouldn't be half as much fun if it weren't coasting in on a wave of zero meaningful progress on the game everyone paid for and mass bannings for the entirety of 2016.
