Yeah, I never really bothered with Wurm PvP; I had never played on a PvP server before that one, and I was mostly concerned with taking advantage of the free month of premium to experiment with multi-floor houses (something that was not in the game …
As is typical in Wurm, the game only comes to life whenever a new server is released. Then two months later it becomes dead again. The recent experiment with Challenge was such an unmitigated failure that I doubt there will be much interest in it in…
It's fun to see the community revolting against the designers' latest move, which will implement a PvP server that's designed to be reset every month.
And I see that bridges are being dangled as an update just around the corner. I heard that before…

CCP don't step into stop griefing because it is part of the fabric of their universe…
Oh and by the way: CCP doesn not "allow" or "encourage" scams. They just chose (thank god) to not interfere into ingame affairs. Freedom forces responsibilty for your own decisions an actions, a lesson some people didn't understand yet. The same per…
"Which brings me to my own experience with griefing and developer apathy. In early February I decided to help a group of players set up a non-kill on sight area in Stain null sec. At this same time a player or players created 3 alt accounts, sent …
If there is something I like about EVE, it's that it is a very atmospheric game. On that level, it's great.
But then there is all the rest which tips the scales against it. And by "the rest", I mostly mean the player base. Sure, you shouldn't tr…
"Horribly unfair" is a double-edged sword. If it appears it's "horribly unfair" because you're not part of a pre-made online community that descends on new games just for the sake of proving how many people they have, then if you're not part of one …
And yet "human nature" gave us codes of laws, ethics, morals.
The problem with EVE is not so much that "human nature" dictates what it is. It is that the designers themselves came up with a system that pandered to the asshats. And what real life ha…

Play some DotA then,ul see the difference.
DOTA communities are like little angels compared to wretched people that play EVE.
No, EVE is a game …

The thing with scamming is that there is nothing graceful to it, nothing to admire even as you disapprove of it (for some reason, I'm thinking of that Steve Martin - Michael Caine film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, with two con artists in Southern France…

Not quite following all the details, but it seems the OP thought he saw an opportunity to take advantage of someone on the market and make a profit, but by not understanding the game mechanics ended up losing money.

I'm looking at all kinds of Scordite, Veldspar, and Plagioclase.
I picked 4 belts at random and of the 4 belts I visi…

There's no inequity in having alts. A bit jealous are we?
Not really. I tried playing two characters at once in Wurm Online (which is just about as grindy as EVE at its worst), where characters are free if you're satis…
I'm guessing you mean PLEX. Well, I always objected to PLEX from the moment I first played the game (2009; I've just returned) precisely because it created a valuable commodity that was not obtained in the game itself by playing the game. And those …
Impossible to say, really; and besides, since CCP actively encourages alts, it's perfectly legal to be running as many accounts as you like, provided you don't abuse what few rules exist in this game. But imagine how easily someone like that could …
