@beardalaxy It's an issue that mostly comes down to: don't make the game shit and people won't be encouraged to cheat in it.

As much of a meme that Ashes of Creation is, the lead developer actually addressed RMT in a dev stream I saw. He says he wants to make sure his game doesn't "force" or encourage people to RMT because even he has been forced to RMT to stay competitive or achieve the best gear in past MMOs he's played.
When MMO developers make gearing unreasonable or impossible for the player to achieve via normal gameplay, that's when they "have" to RMT.

F2P games are notorious for abusive practices that lead to frustrated players choosing to P2W and RMT. The players that get burned the most are the competitive ones that aren't whales and but also aren't F2P, aka the dolphins. They are always enslaving themselves in the game even after spending and still won't reach the best gear due to dickish publishers and developers.

Happy players because the game isn't shit = less RMT. There is simply not a reason to RMT or P2W if the gear is achievable by simply playing the game. There will still lazy people who RMT in good games. I still blame the large portion of the issue on the people in charge of the game.

@beardalaxy @picandor @LukeAlmighty @matrix @McMongoose This is just my experience but the hilarious thing is that almost all actual black guys I've met in MMOs don't even play black characters like the ones shown, much less a young looking one. The ones I have personally met and ran with play light skinned girls.
I've always seen very few people with actual black characters (dreads, etc and not just dark skin; ie tanned) and I can't even confirm if they were actually black. The MMO genre is tailored for fantasy, so don't be surprised people are trying to escape reality as much as possible.

I can only tell if they're black if they talk in VC or tell me. I don't recall meeting too many black chicks in the last MMO I've played but the one I can remember (because she was obnoxious) was the same. Her character wasn't even black compared to her irl picture on Discord. I've been in the genre for many years now and it's overwhelmingly white and asian playing MMOs here in the West.

Amazon doesn't know their audience and it shows. So much push to show you can make a nigga in the trailer and on their website and this demographic don't even play MMOs. It's all done for disingenuous reasons ofc. They would have done a better job replacing the guy with a cute girl!

The first clan I was in in my last MMO was like 80% Chinese and rest white and then I was the only Hispanic. In fact, Amazon would have much better luck fishing up some beaners because the ones in South America play garbage F2P MMOs a lot so they can sell the gold to Westerners. Though in BP, there is no trading so no more gold sellers. lmao
The one thing I see happening is just piloting services.

@beardalaxy The game would play fine even with a free VPN but it's the stream that is having lag issues and dropping network frames. It's temperamental. Seems to be working fine now when I changed the Pomf server back to the USA yet that wasn't working at all earlier either, so I changed it to Japan and it was flawless.

Had to stop the stream for a bit because Mullvad keeps shitting itself in its Japan nodes and causing the stream to lag.

Gonna eat and try to stream later using TorGuard. I've used it before for streaming without issues though not sure how it will handle connecting to Japan either.

Here we go frens. I have been able to get into the JP servers. It's really late now in JP so the server is allowing more people in.

I played a bit earlier on stream too. It's gonna be a slow stream since I'm translating most of the time.

Combat feels really smooth so far despite me playing with high ping.

@matrix They delayed the global release for 6 months to add more joggers to the game.

As expected, the servers are getting raped so people are unable to log in. This is why I didn't start the stream beforehand because I knew it would happen, so it would have been a whole lot of nothing and launcher errors.

I also screwed up by logging out the launcher to go do other things while the maintenance concluded; it was previously working. Now the launcher broke and it won't let me relog. 🫠
It's also broken for Japanese users.

It doesn't help them that retards like myself are trying to play on their server, so I will just try again in a few hours or on Wednesday during the daytime when it's downtime for Japan. Honestly feel bad for them but Amazon thought it was a genius idea to delay our version in favor of shit game Throne and Liberty, which is a glorified mobile game full of P2W and posing as a PC MMO. Remember kids, if the MMO comes from Korea, it's not a game at all but a casino disguised as a game that will be dead in 3-6 months.
This is what happens when people who don't play games run the industry.

The official Twitter gave a notice an hour ago that they are extending the maintenance of the game and website, so the launch is delayed.

Which also means the stream I planned is delayed. lol

Not sure when they are going to get the game going. If it gets really late, I may stream it sometime during Wednesday at this point.

I want to think that the "phone anti theft" on the 3rd ones is simply because they are so fucking shitty, nobody would possibly think of stealing such garbage.

Fell into another weird rabbit hole, this time of peculiar cellphones that are actually functional with a sim card.

I want to go back to monkey so I can use the Hello Kitty flip phone. Also featured some definitely not Coca Cola and Pepsi cellphones. Calo Caco and Ppesi.

I had a Trovo account and it's not under ANY email I have, even my fake ones. The site is weird because it also has absolutely no support ticket system at all. They have some support chat, that ironically, also needs you to log in. Bruh, I lost my account so how can I even log in? lol

That's an odd way to run a site that doesn't let you recover your account. I think I streamed on there once many years ago.

I also "heard" that Kick is paying streamers even if nobody watches them. Unsure how true this is, as I heard it from a fren. However, they are covering the $25 fee for breaking Twitch's contract and moving over to Kick. They are really trying to get people to drop Twitch.

I won't stop streaming on Pomf and support the service on SubStar because it really is an awesome service with no replacement but you just never know, specially when something is basically a one man show. It's good to have accounts in other similar places, too.

Assuming I can even get into the Japanese servers tomorrow, I will be streaming #BlueProtocol 's launch day on Tuesday at around 11pm EST on Pomf.

One of my good frens from my Blade & Soul ranking static is also joining me. I'm going into the game mostly blind and expecting the launch to be rocky with queues and disconnects, as I have yet to play an MMO that had a smooth launch in all my 20 years into the genre. I'll try to start the stream when I'm finally able to login!

I'll be going with Heavy Smasher, as this unique class caught my attention from the start and it has off tanking capabilities. I either play tank or range in MMOs.

We are aiming to get as much game time until we either get shitcanned by Bandai during maintenance or the language barrier becomes too heavy to bypass. We are mostly interested in seeing how the action combat performs and will hopefully pick the game back up whenever Amazon stops being busy sucking cocks and releases the global version.
