Thread: New bug, or just me?
That moment when it suddenly dawns on you is priceless isn't it, hehe. We have been bitching about it so long, and in so many posts that us old timers have forgotten how to spell Oar Moaning You Nit. I am sure you are not the only one who has read about OMUs without realising what the 'old gits' are blathering on about.

So what are you playing these days?

Added to that I had nothing left to achieve, credits became meaningless once I hit half a billion in the bank, and I never came into it for combat, so there was really nothing to keep me there. It was a blast, but time to move on. So until something original comes out I am casting and blasting my way through orcs and spiders (I play a gnome warlock), I know that if I take a month off they will still be there waiting to throw themselves at me with undiluted relish.
*gasp* Bandola's in Kid Video now and looks like...cartoons.
Smart_Darwin wrote:Yeah. I always thought you all were talking about devices that mined ore (just mineral harvesters). I'm just glad I did not try to make a larger factory run, I would still be icking up OMU's from my output hopper!
Well a good way would be not to make them unless you were immediately planning on doing a run of heavy mineral harvesters.

from what i learned they dont have to be crated just as long as they are all made on the same run
Well crating doesn't mean that they aren't the same serial, just that they aren't in a convenient box for storage purposes.

Undiluted Relish. And a little dehydrated mustard makes the hot dog complete.

Pshaw, I'm working ongettinga billion. And I've played enough fantasy online rpgs already. Years and years. Probably ground through more experience in that time you'll ever acquire on WoW.

Yes, i have played a couple myself, EQ for 2 years, and EQ2 (but only 2 months, yeuchhh!).
Now don't you find it strange how your perception of wealth cahnges in SWG? I recall back in the day, when running delivery missions for a few hundred credits kept my head above water. It was a massive achievement when i first hit 100k, I thought then that I really had made it, at a million I was in hogs heaven, and I still remember the sense of achievement when I finally got to 20 million, after weeks of almost being there, then having to restock on resources, I actually got blase about credits after I reached the 100 million mark and started running a lottery for my customers, the biggest prize I paid out on that was over 1 million credits. I hit half a billion very easily, when I decided to quit I liquidated my stock, including the ''special' resources i had, the 1000 UT steel and iron and the 1000 con copper, along with some uber ore, it is amazing how much I had in resources, I generated over 100 million just from that, then there were the literally hundreds of buildings and harvesters which I dropped prices on to shift them (I even left some to decay on my vendors), and of course my 'gear'.
In the end it was all too easy to leave, lack of dev love did that to me I am sad to say, seemed that every change to Architect was either a nerf or so far away from what we wanted it was clear they did not know or care (candles as our renewable income source! what were they thinking?).
Oh well, I can no longer play, but I can still post, the forums were the bit I enjoyed most, and I have a feeling I will be here for a while longer. I expect I will stop posting when I can no longer contribute, meaning when Architect changes enough that I can no longer undetrstand how it works without actually playing.
So I will not wish you a Merry Christmas just yet, I will still be around to do that in December
