A lot of people would ***** and moan about the lack of new content, but we might actually get something like POSs fixed.

How much herp could a herp derp derp if a herp derp could herp derp.

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

The Rules:
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

26. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued.

There is going to have to be if ccp wants to stay in business past a certain point. (nope, not a stealth eve is dying post, just a very real observation that **** might not be able to depend on old coding forever when we already have features ccp wants to do but can't due to crap code. Try to imagine building features for another ten years on that base. I for one can't.)

Why? There are still Text MUD's running after 20+ years (grandfather of MMO's), still running on paid subscriptions, still constantly upgrading/rewriting code. CCP has been doing the same with their in-house engine, what, is this suddenly going to stop for the next 10 years?

Often why a V2.0 or V3.0 comes along for most games isn't because of code, but often because those games kinda died out and they want to inject an newer version of the game into the hype market to sell copies and draw back lost subscribers, at least until it dies again in which they start working on yet another one.


While i understand your point i hope you understand that there is a difference in scale between a mud and a single server mmo with graphics and fights with thousands of participants, other games connecting to it and soon™ mobile apps connecting.
Server is single threaded, just that inhibits development and what that will mean for development in 10 years i don't even want to imagine if you compare games from 10 years ago to games of today.
I'm not really sure about the technical aspects of this but others seem to agree on that this is something that require a massive overhaul to fix and not something they can patch away.
