thinking about aging american developers like richard garriott and seeing the sim city story made me look up will wright, and apparently he's been working on something called "proxi" that basically hasn't had a single public update since 2018.

When Treasures of Aht Urghan came out WoW had already been around for a year or two so SE tried their own spin on instances with a new type of content called Assault. But instead of making simple instances where you go into a dungeon and clear enemies they had to go and make bizarre missions where you had to do a variety of annoying and often inane tasks. Probably the most famous of these is the "Apkallu Seizure" Assault. Apkallu are basically penguins and you had to win the assault by finding one, getting it to follow you, and escorting it back to an NPC who is at the start of the instance. But check out what you have to do to get it to follow you:quote:Find a Fairy Apkallu and make it like you. Following these directions is not that hard but when the Assault came out there was zero guidance from the game or devs on how to actually capture the Apkallu. So players figured all that poo poo out on their own in a 30 minute timed instance.

Kongming posted:Final Fantasy XI came out in Japan a year before it hit the western markets and instead of making new servers they just let all the NA/Euro players play on the same servers as JP players so this caused some friction between the different playerbases. When the game first launched in the west many JP players retreated out of the starting cities and hung around mostly in Jeuno, which required you to make a trip through higher level zones to reach. Many JP players were also reluctant to group with western players which lead to the infamous search comment of "JP ONRY".

me and my brother ran this really stupid scam in runescape where we would offer 28 "free" sharks (expensive high healing food) if you showed your entire inventory in the trade screen. you'd keep trading people until someone decides to show off something that's more expensive than the sharks, then you'd just hit accept on the trade getting all their poo poo. i honestly don't know how it worked because you get a second confirmation screen after a trade to double check everything but people just got blinded by the idea of "free" poo poo. anyway my brother made like 1mil doing this once and he gave me 500k and a day later i got lured into a pvp zone then i got pk'd and cried irl
