Banning people in games is extremely difficult, annoyingly so.

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.

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

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

The rock where I’m actually doing enough with my life so as to not be aware that a cartoonish video game still exists?

Yeah. It’s pretty comfy.

I suppose. One of my favorite games is from 1992 and called ultimate underworld.

It was a far superior game regarding storyline, plot, and gameplay.

But I’m not here to yuck anyone. Although that is quite literally what I did.

The only people saying this were Ultima players from 2005 before they tried and WoW and switched.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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