My Elite Dangerous dreams have come true! I literally CANNOT WAIT for this! This news is so exciting, so inspiring, that it actually fills up some of my "happiness battery", something which is very much drained in these terrible and stressful times. It is literally giving me elation and emotional strength! I'm sure I'm not alone in this!
A humble wish from an old
Anarchy Online player: Don't forget the bars, nightclubs and cantinas!
When I think back to my fondest memories of Anarchy Online, I think of
#1 The long days flying around in my Yalmaha ship exploring the world
#2 Doing missions and fighting off bad guys (mostly solo)
#3 Clubbing!
After a lonely and somewhat desolate day of flying around and fighting, it brought such a nice balance to the game to end those days with some relaxation and socializing at one of the many bars. I also loved the fact that I had my fighting armor, but also had several sets of sexy clubbing outfits I could change into. The fact that life in the game was not "just questing" made me feel more immersed in the experience. Like it wasn't "just a game".
The thought that players had spread out in the world, all doing their own things, but then coming together at the regular clubbing times was so cool. It was cool to see the "faces" of fellow players, people I would have never bumped into otherwise. I could imagine that in a game like Elite, where we really are out there all alone out in space, that effect would be even more emphasized.
