Id love to know what the timeline would be like had the origional EQ be exactly the same, except a roguelike with permadeath.

That literally would have had a major impact on my life Im not sorry to say, for the better or worse, idk! I'd love to experience that timeline though. Imagine that. I cried when I lost an item in PVP and was ashamed of myself for that but imagine losing a whole character.. god I wish I knew what that would have been like for me.

There was less hand holding in 1999-2000, as well as way less participation awards and free pixels for logging in X days in a row. I think we'd all have taken it on board and even got better at the game quicker [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Right? Would have been wild.

You'd think people would have learned by now not to ever, ever, ever group with streamers on hardcore. Wipes are content. Drama is content.

I just heard the best take on elon musk H1B support, asmongold said it's because he wants to get his gold farmers into the USA so he wont get IP address conflicts and get his account flagged.

A. Asmon reminds me of Jerry Springer. All he does is look for controversy topics to rehash. He lives off bottom feeders of society. He is Athene 2.0; even idolizing him. *ick

B. Fact Checked - Half of everyone that’s here illegally (in the U.S.) came here legally on a visa and have overstayed their visa.

C. Steve Bannon made his money off Gold farming; with big ties to Chinese gold farmers.

The rich continue to use these voters that fall for these people, fooled into a culture war, in a hope to prevent a class war.

the rich elon, asmongold rich, asmongold, elon musk, elon the rich the rich, oligarch the rich the rich.

Oh no, more generic antipathy toward "the rich". Did you guys learn nothing from nov?

Why is the dem pitch always "don't vote for republicans, all they wanna do is cut taxes on the rich!"? For one thing, tons of dems are filthy rich as well, but for some reason they're the good kind?

Not to mention, the obvious follow up question from a prospective voter would be "Okay, so if I vote for you are you gonna cut *my* taxes instead?" to which the response is inevitably "Uhh... well no. In fact we'll probably raise them gradually over time. But at least we aren't cutting them for the rrrrrrrrrich!!".

Talk about people falling for shit. NYS is nearly entirely governed by democrats and property taxes are so high people are fleeing in droves. They can't afford to continue living in houses that have been in families for generations, due to higher and higher taxation.

Literally more money transferred to the 1% in the last 4 years in history, and I'm supposed to believe oligarchs are "taking over" next weekend.

Under President Biden, the wealth of the top 1% in the U.S. increased significantly, reaching new highs. In 2021 alone, their wealth rose by $4 trillion, representing 35% of all wealth gains in that year.

Richest 1% bag nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together over the past two years

GTFO here with that oligarch shit. Yall are the ones that bailed out the silicon valley investors.

So vote in the guys pulling the reverse robinhood and those that promote less education to push the narrative you have been told to parrot; in order to prevent a class war.

Or wait just vote green party where your vote further hurts any type of change.

Nah, it is just better to let the pendulum swing until it gets stuck and that faction splits into the two new parties.

So no you can't blame the Democrats or the Republicans for this.

But the alt right side pulling a reverse robinhood you definitely can blame.
Where the left wants to tax the rich.
