Don’t bother with the console. I got started there and got hooked before I realized that they were going to kill it off. No updates, none of the “where to find it” database stuff works becuase of the split and generally almost no people now.

Just get it on Steam for PC if you are inclined to play. It’s a fun game. I stopped about a year and a half ago (just looked the other day whilst perusing Steam Sale) for many reasons, but I’m sure I’ll be back to visit some day!

While it could technically happen that our government could legally shut down the internet, it wouldn’t last long or it means we are under attack (perhaps internally) and need to control damage/messaging.
