Thunderblaze Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Is there a planned use for this in the near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosomu Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) JC mentioned that it will be useful in the future and to hold on to it if you have it. That was a long time ago back when he was CEO. If NQ honours JC’s statement then it will have a use. Edited March 19, 2022 by Sostraphaios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybob19 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 My bet is that it will be used for DAC but that is pure speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the original plan was for it to be used as a fuel, or part of item needed to travel to other solar systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distinct Mint Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 With only a few players having access to this, I don't see it being used for anything at all, unless NQ release a substantial faucet in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful thing about asteroids/the upcoming alien stuff, they can always be added in when demand needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VandelayIndustries Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 For the new people, Thoramine was just a way for JC to LARP he was the dude in ready player one. Nothing more. What he forgot was ready player one is a fiction movie and you can make up whatever you want to make the story worth while. In real life the Dual Universe nerds solved the puzzle instantly. With JC even on record saying he thought it would take "years" to solve. Shocking when real life doesn't pan out like a movie right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also shocking when people RP as a deeply narcissistic genius obsessed about 80s references. Halliday's metaverse was a nightmare realm of inequality. Unlike many of the superwealthy in history who become charitable when they become old...his choice was to say "meh, whatever" and not use his wealth for good...but to satisfy his ego one last time with a silly contest -- because that is a great way to decide the fate of trillions of dollars. I see a lot of parallels with Halliday and people trying to develop a metaverse / web3 -- the read books like this as an inspiration when they were intended to be a cautionary tale.

It also highlighted a recurring problem with DU designing special content for the few with resources and time to solve such puzzles, while the majority of players are delegated to the sidelines feeling left out. Don't get me wrong. Special events are cool, but they should come AFTER there is enough general content for normal players to enjoy the game, not before.

It is hard to re-frame your opinions later in life for something that had a big impact and shaped you at an early age and was 'cool as shit'. So we all have our own personal version of such works in our mind, versions that often does not reflect the actual real thing at all. I have for example certain 80's cartoons placed on a pedestal in my mind. Cartoons that I make a conscious decision to never re-watch, knowing it would utterly ruin them.

Especially since a significant amount of it was RWT'd. It should probably just all be wiped at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeddrick Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Why not just let us make it into voxel so we can make a sculpture out of it or something. Would be a shame to just delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
