A MMO whose defining qualities are its maturity, user base and low system-requirements.

Recently focusing entirely on endgame, to the detriment of all earlier content. Instead of improving the game in measurable ways, its developers use desperate psychology to string along its user base. DO NOT PLAY unless you’re already playing. Then DO NOT STOP.

Once anything comes along that’s decent, haul ass and bring everyone with you. Consider, for example, Guild Wars 2 – (2012 game).

Unbelievably slow-paced awkward game. Great idea, and I remember liking it when I first tried it.. but on my next pass it just dragged on so badly I couldn’t even get through the first map.

Sabayon Linux

Linux distributions + Gentoo >

https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=sabayon
was sabayon.org

In early 2013, Ubuntu, Red Hat (Fedora), Arch Linux and anything GNOME-related fell from my grace due to fundamental technology (e.g. systemd) or political issues (being evil).

I’ve been looking at some other distributions, particularly Gentoo-derived distributions.. but not Gentoo itself, since it’s insane. Funtoo and Sabayon came up, and since Funtoo requires more free drive space than I have at the moment I checked out Sabayon.

2016-04-18 – Yeah, well.. since Gentoo now uses systemd, all it’s sub-distributions will be dragged into the pit with it.
