That is a bit creepy. 10/10 for going threw that plastic surgery to match the box.

And you beat Chribba with that, you don't have just a tattoo, you actually shaped your body to be more eve-like.

Hats down to you, sir.

What I wish I had were my old original kms. The ones that came in the Evemail system. But sadly most have been erased over time.Sad

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

I miss the pre-WTZ days.

Things were just better.

Those who cannot keep up will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all.

I remember the original manual. It convinced me that mining was a good idea. I think that sums up just how utterly wrong everything in the manual was Lol

They were certainly "better" for selling regional WTZ bookmark packs. Well they were until the copy limit of 5 came in Evil

Manuals are strange, they convinced me to roll paladins after they got nerfed at the end of beta.

The BM situation was stupid, I agree. However, I really liked the feel that 15km warp ins provided. Made the game feel much larger, and really punished people for not fitting speed mods.

WTZ is good for server load since WTZ BMs are no longer needed to be stored/retrieved. Bad for mechanics.

At the end of the day, we want the cluster to run well. WTZ is here to stay :/

So- the 11,000 people in my coalition all having multiple (15+ per system) bookmarks across Branch has no effect on the server?

reductio ad absurdum - It's the logical fallacy of extending someone's argument to ridiculous proportions and then criticizing the result.

Obviously it has an effect, however, your 11,000 people would have those BMs either way. Consider that removing 500+ BMs from your 11,000 people + the remaining ~120,000 at the time. And while those numbers are not precise, thats 65 MILLION bookmarks removed from the cluster.

So, while you are thinking locally, You must begin to think globally.

I had the original box but it got destroyed in a hurricane. Dint think keeping the wet and moldy box would have been a great idea.

Very little effect compared what existed before WTZ and the "5 BM copy limit".

You could buy entire regional WTZ bookmark packs for virtually nothing. They were sold on "escrow" hundreds of times a day.

The average player now might have 100 bookmarks, if that.
