It's one of those freakishly expensive, yet badly made things. Low to mid four figures, probably, if the brand is right. (It probably is).

Further inspection, it's a YSL bag that's no where to be found on the internet. So it's probably an ultra limited run store only thing, so yeah, four figures.

poo poo man, I don't even like big ol' space MMO's and I especially don't like what I have heard about eve. But, uh, somehow I have purchased EVE and a 6 month subscription in my life to test it out and fiddled around with it. It had a bunch of cool stuff. I suck at sticking with *any* MMO, so don't blame EVE for my impatience/boredom/leaving..... but, I sometimes wonder, who are these magical focused gamers who can give a poo poo about a game for more than 4 months? The only game I can do that with is EU4, which is a loving masterpiece. "Wiz", a SA poster now works for the publishing company, Paradox Interactive, and that game is straight loving good. I have 800 hours on that, more than any other game (excluding WoW) and worth *every* loving penny.

I was ultra-deep into a KMMO waaaaaay back in the day (Ragnarok online) and only shitcanned it when they added a cash shop that started to gently caress up the balance of the game via blatant P2W. Things get compelling if you have that sort of mindset. Friendships get formed and broken, long term plans get made, communities are formed... Nothing's ever really done it the same way for me, so who knows what the reason for me sticking to it for several years was. It wasn't even a good game when compared to it's contemporaries.

I played Eve for a while, and Eve is definitely compelling due to it's sandbox and chaotic nature. The only problem I found with Eve was there was too much waiting involved, and logging in to do something, and just sitting around with nothing to do until you had to log out was a bit bleh. When you got involved in something big and epic though, that always felt amazing.

What is odd for me this year is I usually have an "Xmas MMO". Nothing at all has grabbed me this year, so I'm really wondering if the MMO industry is on it's last legs, with people favouring "pick up and play" games like Overwatch.

I think if a visionary can come up with a fun theme, and a "fun" payscale or whatever, it won't be a problem. If every solution is "This is WoW V 2.1!", then it is hosed forever.

They need to craft a new dynamic. That is very hard. Requires original thinking, the crobblers' worst suit. But it is not impossible. It would just require a *very* high level of competence. To be honest, I think DAOC 2.0 could get some (like 20%) of WoW based on where they are shooting.

All these fucks complain about WoW....but, I played Wow. gently caress, maybe over 2k hours. I am *NOT* a hardcore gamer. My stay at home son brother is....Imagine the hours he has played. Deride their "poo poo" all you want, they know what the gently caress they are doing. They have the base. They have the money. They have the machine. Don't make a product that say they want to be the opposite of all successful games, or you may be *GASP* unsuccessful.

I'm pretty sure the MMO market is in massive decline. They're almost all F2P and surviving off whales and micro-transactions.

I think the only Sub based MMO that's doing well and still seeing notable growth is FF14. But FF14 is a pretty drat good MMO with excellent gameplay, eye candy cutscenes and update patchnotes that take an afternoon to read.

I mean, try to imagine crobbler pulling off a piece of narrative like this (pretty old) cutscene, which features dialogue free storytelling, mocap done right, and a studio confident enough to admit they hosed up their first try:
