And yeah, those prices seem crazy, but keep in mind that with AOL at the time you were also paying $3-4/hour just to check your email and access early internet forums, on top of whatever you were paying your phone company.
Looking through my archive of old CDROMs, I can also confirm from a few AOL CDs I kept for my collection that AOL had an unlimited plan as well that was $20 a month.
Yep. Main character syndrome all the way.
It’s canonically the same game world, if warped by the passage of ages and catastrophic events, though I am trying to write it so it should not require any knowledge of Arx 1.
Do the actions of any of the PCs in Arx 1 directly connect to said catastrophic events?
@Roadspike Agreed. In my experience, I’ve witnessed plenty of people get competitive over who gets to resolve the big plots and stuff, and get just as toxic as direct PVP can get. Some people live in a permanent state of “If I’m not winning, I’m not having fun, and if I’m not having fun, nobody else can.”

Is there anything that CAN be done so mushing is remembered as ‘having been a thing’ in a century?
If nothing else, we can upload our dead wikis and game sites to electronic archives, like archive.org.
@bear_necessities Probably because the people interested in building one are also backers of the upcoming TTRPG and waiting to see if the TTRPG can be converted to a MU.
Florid Answer: I try to see if someone else is trying to push a specific storyline, and fall into that as best I can. If nobody’s pushing their stories or one of the game’s plots, then I’ll try and drive things around what my character has going on. Ultimately, I play “yes and” and try and have fun with it.
Actual Truthful Answer: If I don’t hyperfocus on something in the RP, I’m basically a walk-on extra.
See, I did not know that. I assumed incorrectly that the image link button was for static images specifically.
The handy dandy GIF button in the editing panel no longer works. This is because Google has decommissioned the Tenor API, and any attempts to request a gif from Tenor now just results in

@Pavel said in MU Peeves Thread:
Tempted, now, to write some passive-aggressive code snippet that looks for the words ‘how do I’ on a game’s Help or Newbie channel and just pages with “have you tried fuckin’ lookin’ it up, champ?”
Make it even more passive aggressive and have it lock out all other commands until they type the exact command required to answer the question. So everytime they type anything, the game just responds with something like “Have you tried +help +desc yet?”.

begging people to at least try a single keyword search in the extensive documentation of the thing they’re always asking about
I bet if we all had a dollar for every situation that could have been resolved by someone taking even the most basic review of a game’s documentation, we’d all be way less financially desperate.
The most recent dream I can remember is: A total stranger abandoned me at a Best Buy because I wouldn’t help them steal car stereo equipment from the store, and so I just hung out in the store until it got dark so I could go home without melting in the heat.

That, or somehow be on LegallyDistinctEarthlikeLocation, as written in Trans-Ally Katherine Applegate’s second-greatest work, Everworld.
Controversial opinion: While Animorphs definitely makes her an amazing Trans-Ally, they are, from a literary standpoint, worse than Everworld. (I have enjoyed all three of her book series, and think that people regularly sleep on the Remnant books.)
