In the Lord of the Rings fandom there’s a persistent debate whether balrogs, or Durin’s Bane specifically, have wings. The text in Fellowship is ambiguous whether what it is describing are literal wings or something else wing-like.

    Tangential question: Is EvE viable or fun to play casually without subscription?

      Early game, absolutely. The most important thing is to find people to play and talk with. The first few months are about getting your sea legs and trying all the things you may want to do. Skills are time gated not activity gated, and learning the rules of engagment are important (in-game, social and meat-space).

      Personal note, the most useful thing I teach my new corp mates is “How not to be seen” and how to navigate your person in a way people cant (or have to put a lot of effort) into stopping you.

        Thanks! The cost of Omega always put me off trying it. I’ll probably give it a go then!
