Blizzard deleted a wave of Olympus characters overnight, says @Asmongold β he calls it "the unthinkable", so his guild lined up in game for a moment of silence, webcam eyes closed and all. He blames "woke Blizzard" for the purge. Fair call, or did those names have it coming?
I find it hilarious that RuneScape prepared me for the pitfalls of modern society:
-Scams
-Pump and dumps
-Market manipulation
-Social engineering
-Gambling
It also taught me how progress compounds over long stretches of time.
Solid game.

A new 30-week study tracked 68 university students who had almost no previous gaming experience.
Participants were divided into two groups:
>One played League of Legends for one hour per day, five days a week.
>The second group followed the exact same schedule but played Legends of the Three Kingdoms, a non-action strategy card game.
Both groups improved in attention, working memory, and executive function, but the League of Legends players showed significantly stronger gains, especially in spatial attention and spatial working memory.
EEG brain activity scans also confirmed greater improvements in information processing efficiency for the League of Legends group.
These cognitive benefits remained noticeable 10 weeks after the gaming sessions ended.
Important context is that this research involved only healthy young adults and could not fully account for outside influences such as academic workload or personal motivation.
