BadLuckMax also snagged several pieces of ill-gotten Mythic gear, including the unfortunately named Rushed Beta Launchers boots which, being leather (and thus useless on a Paladin) feels like a brutal jab at Blizzard.

Is this a retail thing where Paladins can only wear plate or is the author not familiar with the mechanic? Plenty of paladins taking cloth/leather/mail in OG and Classic.

from cata on you got 5% bonus to your primary stat for wearing your armour class, so plate for example on pally. but gear works differently in retail so all plate has strength and int on it so you really have no reason to use cloth or leather

You get some kind of bonus if you wear your classes preferred armor type iirc.

So, is it the world first or not? They were technically the first...

Banning people in games is extremely difficult, annoyingly so.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience!

Banning cheaters in games is TIGHT!!!!

Must be comfy under that rock

ITT: I learn WoW is still a thing. Honestly thought that shit died like 15 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 day ago (5 children)

You have to be living under a rock to not know that WoW is still an incredibly popular game. It’s easily still the most popular MMORPG

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I genuinely didn't know it was still big. Everyone I know who played it quit ten years ago and expansion launches no longer hit my feeds.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

It's a failed attempt at minimizing. Lots of people reply like that.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

I've been living under quite a rock then, haven't heard WoW even mentioned for years (and years)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If the only pre-live service MMORPG still going strong.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

what makes wow not a live service game? aren’t all MMOs by definition live service?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I mean, yeah. Just don't tend not to lump the older ones in it because of how awful the practice has become since the phrase was formalized.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about FF14 or Guild Wars 2? Don't they count as pre-live service MMORPGs, too?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

checks Seems games as a service model that we know today really picked up steam at around the late 2010s. So, yeah...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was actually surprised to see Ultima Online is still up and active recently. It must have a pretty decent sized population for EA not to shut down and repurpose the servers for Battlefield or something.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a hot minute.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago

No you don't.
