Imagine comparing eos to god. Looooool

in the context of the game, they literally are.

Nah they really aren’t LOL

what is a god to you?

cos like, they can do anything they want and break the rules of the world. they are supposed to know everything or find everything out from logs etc. they literally make the world...?

the games master, or dungeon master is always the god of their world. you are playing their game, their world.
what is life but us playing god's game?

the difference is just scale
that and you know these gods exist

Yes, I think it’s a good idea. They actually start doing shit when people flame them. I’ll get banned so eos fixes the server or hires new coders to fix the server. I’ll be the server’s martyr. I’ll be your Prometheus.

i appreciate the sentiment.. but your theory is misguided, and your metaphor incorrect.

whoever made UOSteam would be prometheus.. for stealing that power from the gods. and bringing pandora..

but you did kinda prove my point about hubris ;P

"one risks nemesis by uttering such words"

Cataclysm
Further information: The Silmarillion
The Downfall of Númenor and the Changing of the World.

Prompted by Sauron and fearing old age and death, Ar-Pharazôn built a great armada and sailed into the West to make war upon the Valar, intending to seize the Undying Lands and achieve immortality. Sauron remained behind. Ar-Pharazôn landed on the shores of Aman. As the Valar were forbidden to take direct action against Men, Manwë, chief of the Valar, called upon Eru Ilúvatar, the One God. In response, Eru caused the Changing of the World: the hitherto flat Earth was transformed into a globe, Númenor sank beneath the ocean,[T 3][6] and the Undying Lands were removed from the Earth forever. The whole population on the island was drowned. Most of Ar-Pharazôn's armada, too, met their doom in the cataclysm. This was the second fall of Men, the first being when Men first awoke and fell swiftly under the dominion of Melkor.[T 3]


you're not prometheus bro, you're Ar-Pharazôn.

[The Silvertiger]

I think he needs to get banned again. Go go go!

you're not prometheus bro, you're Ar-Pharazôn.

Osi casting is the fire that helps the world. Steam is more like pandora's box, 1 good thing (macroing chars easily) with a 1000 bad things.

Not sure how your metaphor tracks better than mine.

And silvertiger, that's rude.

You're right I shouldn't be mean to staff. They're busy.
