I find The Last Question to be the most interesting.

Looks like most of these books are linked together by the topic of human consciousness and its origin. Itās hard to say for sure though; The The Dramaturges of Yan doesnāt have a lot of info online, and Nine Tomorrows is a bunch of short stories where only a few are vaguely connected.
Interesting tidbit, Asimovās āThe Last Questionā is basically about a computer built by hyper-humans that want to know if thereās a way to prevent the heat death of the universe. The humans ask the computer each time they evolve and the computer, also evolving, canāt answer. Eventually the heat death occurs and the computer, by itself and existing in hyperspace so it wont be destroyed, discovers the answer, and creates an entire universe.
Sound familiar?

To me this shows what heās learned from his talks before. He knows now to not talk about stuff he wants to be in there. Not before they exist.
So the update is a shift to onlineā¦as in on servers?
Or does simply mean that it is like it is now involving āonlineā.

I bet Sean Murray has a lot of these fantasies in his head lol
In NMS I guess everything is possible and who knows this game may end as THE game of the 21st century in which mankind exploited every single space in the huge Multiverse and has gone where no one else did, albeit virtually

I just relay the infoā¦ I donāt know what it really means 
I do know I am excited. I have not really played an online game since FFXI. I do have concerns since I do not have the internet for an actual online gameā¦ my son manages to play Minecraft online. I guess we will find out.

It does look like the update features are friendly based not PVP in a brutal way.

From what I have seen up till now is the ability for gamers to create their own server for their own gaming friends.
Maybe there will be an opportunity to create oneās own server within the main Server-spaceā¦?

If I understand correctly, is this what my son does in Minecraft? He games with about 4 other people and it is just them. They chat through Discord and there is no one but them.

I think it is.
Am subscribed to a PS4 game channel whoās owner just opened up a new server for the Conan Exiles game, so they can play it with their own playing members and everyone in this āgangā can contact him on his discord channel for the password to gain accessā¦

Some of those āfantasiesā might be best kept in Seanās head 
If HG are listeningā¦ Why not drop the update early for existing players (PS4/PC). Weāre already well trained guinea-pigs! Plus it give them a chance to iron out any kinksā¦ IMO something new canāt come soon enough! Patience is a virtue, virtuosity is intangible, we want tangible virtuals!

Of course, SM did say you could also be a player who just randomly comes across other players. It really sounds like there will be options.

well, from what I read in a message in the ARG they are proposing to give CSD a role for solving some of their problems. Who knows this community will receive the privilige to playtest some features for them before the official updateā¦ Just putting up a tinfoil hat lol, of course all my own speculating

ā¦As mere mortal players of HGs creation, speculation is all we haveā¦
I wonder, SM has an account here, has he ever communicated directly on this forum to us? Would go a long way to show his appreciation for this dedicated space and its inhabitants.
