cazalla: paying
to upgrade skills or levels is pay
to win
cazalla: allow players
to buy/sell items or w/e else
they find in
the world but
that's it
cazalla: wao-ender: depends if it's only used
to buy products from
the company or if players can do
trade
wao-ender: cazalla: is
there problem
to make it as in-app payments?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves will be a good skill ot have, get btc off smg
too
ThickAsThieves: i almost wanna get into 3d modelling just
to bank off all
the hat buyers
mircea_popescu: imo
the only games worth playing anymore are btc games, if well done.
mircea_popescu: cazalla it's
this company
that's been working for half a year at making a bitcoin based mmo
cazalla: i saw pics of
that on your blog i believe unless i'm wrong, forget
the name
cazalla: i hope and mmo brings bitcoin into a game and does away with
their own in game currency,
that'd be interesting in a game with a solid crafting system
Duffer1: how does bitcoin integrate
to your guild MP?
mircea_popescu: there's legendary and i
think 2 more rarities past
that
mircea_popescu: well in fairness i craft epic items and moist everyone doesn't have
them
mircea_popescu: thre are some bound
to char/acct stuff you buy via
the fiat shop
cazalla: yes, i must feel superior
to
the scrubs
Duffer1: is
there no bind on pickup in rift? i only played
the beta
mircea_popescu: (it has like 50+ currency
types, it's insane,
tokens of
this,
tokens of
that)
cazalla: mircea_popescu:
there was a server in EQ like
that which allowed everything
to be
traded so
there was a lot of buying/selling going on for
that server
Duffer1: bind on pickup has it's place
though surely
mircea_popescu: it is an insult
to everything i hold right proper and important.
mircea_popescu: see,
this is fucktarded. i would never play a game where you can't buy everything
ThickAsThieves: it's odd
that
these games never implemented
their own DKP systems
mircea_popescu: no one is happy unless
they are getting more
than
they estimated
they're worth, and everyone's overestimating his own importance.
ThickAsThieves: some veteren would show up after months away and expect
the best loot, some noob would die first for 10 weeks and expect same drop
ThickAsThieves: while
they wouldnt say i scammed, many would say
they disagreed with choices
Duffer1: cazz going
to play eq next?
cazalla: WoW didn't really compare
to Everquest
though,
that game was social + hardcore, none of
this soloing rubbish
cazalla: I did DKP for my guild, it was like
taking
the high school drop out and making him a cop
KRS-One: i
tried WoW. hated it.. warcraft2 ftw. zug zug.
ThickAsThieves: when i was in a hardcore WoW guild, with real progression,
the leader was a
total drill sergeant
mircea_popescu: cazalla didn't wow end up giving noobs max level just
to prop
their numbers for investors conference call ?
cazalla: look at
the first year of WoW versus
the pos it is now
cazalla: it's not really about skill, it's a social
thing now
Duffer1: it becomes more about
the hanging out with friends
than
the raiding
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 but it still consists of following a set procedure and
talking
to people on
the phone.
Duffer1: heroes of
the storm i believe it's going
to be called
Duffer1: if you can get a core group of competent players on a set schedule
then raiding can be a lot of fun
Duffer1: i've watched some
twitch footage of eso, it doesn't look like my
type of game, but it's an mmo so i'll still probably play it a bit hehe
mircea_popescu: also dominate
the ah, but
that's usually
the case with me
ThickAsThieves: Duffer1
this one looks okay,
though it seems
to borrow from Rift a bit
Duffer1: i'm pretty disappointed in
the latest crop of mmos
mircea_popescu: why do scammers manage
to retain so little of
the btc
they scam ? well... "We also believe candor benefits us as managers:
the CEO who misleads others in public may eventually mislead himself in private."
ThickAsThieves: “Ms. McGrath…my apologies for saying
this, you don’t have a clue
that you are clueless. If you have
the guts
to debate me in
the press, send me your email address and let’s have it out.”
mircea_popescu: "I would bet 0.1btc asicminer pays more in divs
the following year."
mircea_popescu: a) stuckj
to play currency ; b) closed down when it became clear.
ThickAsThieves: "The exchange is closing down. Its been a fun beta period but we need
to go back
to
the drawing board for
the good of our business/future. <3"
mircea_popescu: mpoe-pr upon being showed
the pizda chemical : "wait pizda is made of hos?"
ozbot: Pizda (chemical) - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
mircea_popescu: dujde srsly, it's an athletics only
thing with like 2k people enrolled
ThickAsThieves: i only questioned
the home price cause I assumed she was in a CA metro
Namworld: Looks like all links are
the correct domain, no fishing
there.
Namworld: Apparently someone just used my email
to register a My Wallet on blockchain.info... wtf?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this seems like a normal mortgage you'd expect a 30something
to be burdened by neh ?
