If you're 49, I'd say probably not. If you're 10, I'd also say probably not.

Love Minecraft. And check out my Youtube channel OhCanadaGamer
Try a MUD today at http://www.mudconnect.com/3.18 is a massive update, it outright changes the way you play the game, so it's quite of an interesting time to play SC, for new players not so much as the game still has a terrible onboarding experience.
Anyone can just up to the next free fly and check what's up, but that's probably not soon as this patch release has hammered servers to oblivion.
So exciting!

If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

Never has an article title been so appropriately truncated.“Microtransactions? In a single player role-playing game? Are you nuts?”

Yeah I was wondering where they came up with that too
Early access is now the new launch, if we are not careful an update will become the new launch!
I am sure it was a slip of the keyboard, but in an industry that loves to move the goal posts it did raise an eyebrow.

Why? Let your friend enjoy his optimism and hobby. If it bs or or not doesn't really matter, does it?
Best Space Sim Ever!

I seems rather naff, how often has this issue cropped up?
I'd call it a day. The outage was escalated to major outage today as the global database entered a bad state.
Yesterday night was when me and friends got in and servers were giving good shots at getting in... Now is nopers.
It does not. Maybe a little, dont know. Ill talk to my shrink about this and get back to you :-)

I think a situation like this is actually more or less expected. New database tech tends to screw something unexpected up, and on top of that Star Citizen is trying to add it to existing servers.
It's the bad with the good, the bad is the frustrating experience, the good is they now know what the failure points are on heavy loads to improve future resilience.
And the oof thing is that after the heavy load stress test is mitigated there is another big one coming, that is the long-term issues that'll pop from running PES for months as the game-world of each shard saves state. So the longevity test is next.
