There is a distinct lack of “If You Must” on this track list and I gotta say, that smells pretty FUNKAAAAY…

This video series sounds like it might be up your alley. Guy documents his attempts to simulate a goblin society and ecosystem.

He sucks, but it was such a good set-up for a shitty Dice Man style joke, I couldn’t resist.

An emotional box? Enough about my wife!

OH!

Hopefully someone with better info than me will chime in (my algorithm occasionally coughs up LOTRO vids, but I haven’t played seriously in some time). I believe that there are two stated reasons for the situation, both relating to the age of the game. The first is that the remaining player base is not big enough to support the number of servers currently offered, and so consolidation will help the game feel more alive at any given moment. The second reason is that the legacy servers are 32 bit, and they want to modernize to a 64 bit architecture. So, two birds, one (standing) stone.

To your parenthetical, is that not what the Producers Guild of America is?

Just came from another thread detailing them walking back the skin=class change. Glad to that’s being fixed, as that’s definitely the most egregious issue, but I’m very disappointed to hear the gunplay is less impactful. That was KF2’s biggest strength imo, esp as a Commando main when I played it frequently. Popping domes in slo Mo was art.
