No idea, I also missed it’s closure. Or maybe the category just got hidden for everyone without the required special title… ---

I disagree I think discord kind of monopolized people’s in game out of game attention. People been saying the game is dead, not dead, undead for like the last ten years. ---

The type of people who say the game is dead are probably the same type who avoid most forms of interaction other than ones fuelled by greed and misery. Lots of stuff happens but most of it is on a smaller scale. Smaller groups doing their own thing not trying to advertise too loudly because that’ll attract the attention from the bored and activity starved null groups and their alt armies. ---

Exactly. The “Demon” guy has some sort of mental disability, if him and people like him are all that’s left here, no wonder the forums are mostly inactive. His signature is him “roleplaying as a demon”. …what? Are you 12 years old? There needs to be a chance for some intelligent and fun conversation, if most of the people who would contribute to that have already left for other venues…well, here we are. ---

You do realize ppl roleplay, which is why there is a specific subforum for that where you must interact as your character. ---

I don’t think it’s role play I think he wants the moniker. He wants to be Demon Dmc, but he will only be remembered as Hog Rider. ---

You see, you are defending it, which also makes you part of the problem. I’m not going to sit here and pretend some boomer pretending to be a “demon” in EVE is a normal thing, nope. Signed, Arcelian “The Sexiest Man Alive” 🫦 ---

EVE is a MMORPG… what does RPG stand for in that?? Role Playing Game. ---

> [@Geo\_Eclipse\_Oksaras](#): > > Role Playing Game. There’s not really a lot of “role playing” (unless we’re talking about make believe) in EVE. I mean, I guess you can be chaotic evil - but the game doesn’t really reflect it as such. ---
