I think this is demonstrably untrue in some places, unfortunately. Like, being super into Classic WoW for the past ~3 years, it's painfully obvious how we're basically the only large community in that game which doesn't tolerate rampant bigotry. It's really fuckin bad when I hop into a pug GDKP raid or something and get in voice comms.

The internet is really lovely and as bad as certain things have been here at various points, we've done a pretty decent job of keeping out the worst of the lot, or at least making sure they keep that poo poo away from where other goons can see it.

and some of those people are still around

SA guilds are better than completely random groups but worse than a group of your friends. This is useful in case you like to play games your friends don’t

Modern day SA will expel the worst people, but only if they post, and post with the mask off.

It's not much, but it's something.

A lot of the good SA communities have kind of filtered out into separate discords, but the majority of them have long since filtered the batshit crazy out.

I'd say a good 90% of my gaming friends are still goons.

i only really ever played ff14 with goons and DGKK was pretty chill when i was there, and the eurogoon guild is great too, though i mostly only interact with people through FC chat so maybe there's some juicy discord drama i'm missing out on

I’ve never had a problem finding a fine non-goon guild in games. They pretty much all have descriptions in discords or something and clearly will say if they do not tolerate hate, etc. It’s not hard to find a guild with basic human decency.

anyone played legends of pirate online? i don't think i ever actually played pirates of the caribbean online when it was active but i just found out about it and it's pretty lol. the ship stuff is cool though and i've been having a blast pulling up the sails in my piece of poo poo starter boat and looting poo poo from trading vessels while trying to avoid the level 40 navy frigates ready to one shot me as soon as they get close enough to see i'm a pirate ship

So this is a re-launch of the Pirates of the Caribbean online, I'll be damned. Gonna try it

This reminds me of Voyage Century Online, though I can't even seem to find the official page. Game must have shutdown for the Western market

yup, you wake up in jail, meet jack, he kicks down the door, and you're off. it's good that the game embraces the goofiness imo. community is fairly small but very active. I got invited to a guild within like 10 minutes of spawning into the world and running around after the tutorial. lots of friendly people.

the client is kinda janky though, be warned. make sure you turn off Compressed Textures or you're going to have stuff showing up black in game

lmao so I don't know if anyone else here has been keeping an eye on Galaxies of Eden, which was supposed to be a spiritual successor to SWG and explicitly promised to be a more or less beat-for-beat remake with a different setting. welp, they decided they'd rather just run a grift instead, and the game is completely dead. they're selling an AI model instead!

https://galaxiesofeden.com/2023/04/03/09-announcement/

quote:

At this pivotal moment in our journey, we have made the strategic decision to cease the development of the social / classic MMORPG features of Galaxies of Eden. Instead, we are now fully dedicating our resources, passion, and creativity towards building our Machine Learning pipelines and the Orchestrator.

This announcement signifies a major shift in our vision for Galaxies of Eden. While we understand that this change of direction might be disappointing for some, we believe that the extraordinary potential offered by the Orchestrator and it’s related systems justifies our decision to focus on this groundbreaking aspect of the game.

Consequently, we regret to inform you that the development of certain features has been put on hold or discontinued to prioritize the development of the Orchestrator:

Discontinued Features:

Player vs. Player (PVP) combat
Galactic Council
Player Cities
The majority of social features

Postponed Features:

Industrialist play-styles
Artist play-styles

I'm actually kinda mad about this one, I was really looking forward to the possibility of a galaxies-style sandbox not beholden to Star Wars, but it seems that will forever be a mere fantasy

yeah this is definitely going to be their ticket out of obscurity, they're going to get rich with this scheme - and quickly! the ~50,000 nerds in their thirties to sixties that would have given them $15 a month for the rest of their natural lives simply weren't Exponential enough to attract angel investors or whatever i guess

I'm not investing in your AI video game until you give me a breakdown of your sexbot creation pipeline. That's why people would get on board with this poo poo, because their girlfriend lives in the game.
