It was amazing in it's heyday.
Has any other multiplayer game since then persisted items in the game-world (i.e. dropped items and such)? I miss that. And the housing was a lot of fun.
Don't they? Surely they make some interest on the money if it is parked for any length of time? Plus transaction fees and such? And individuals probably get bonuses etc. based on volume in some way? (IANAB(anker), just wild guesses here.)
I find it more impressive that Intel/AMD vcpu (i.e. each "vcpu" is actually an SMT thread) competes with or usually beats a Graviton vcpu (which afaik is always a real single Arm core).
Please consider integrating SingleFile support as well, perhaps at least in coordination with the planned browser addon. (ArchiveBox supports SingleFile on the server-side running under nodejs.)
