Maximalist UI's
I feel like some of the old cluttered WoW UIs might be an example of maximalism, by trying to show as much information as possible.

Eve players: noooo… It’s not just a spreadsheet

Veteran WoW players: hmm… I can still see the actual gameplay, lemme add another stat display

And they still wiped.
To be fair, they only had a thirty-two point three three uh, repeating of course, percentage, of survival.
“RIGHT SIDE, MANY WHELPS!! HANDLE IT!!!”
At least I have chicken
Do you see my mana? What am I supposed to do for you?
One should always wipe. I tell my 6yo this all the time.
I can’t tell you how many fleet fights I literally disabled graphics and only had the overview and chat. Especially multiboxing, I might have one with graphics. Not necessary for most.
I don’t think I’ve met a single eve player who doesn’t proudly refer to it as a “spreadsheets in space” game XD
Eve online mentioned o7

I miss it sometimes. Then I remember, last time I played it, I didn’t have my original log ins and whatnot so had to start from the beginning and it took weeks to get to a level where I could do basic noob stuff without dying right away. I then spent like 18 months of just training skills, I’d log in, fill the queue, log out, log back in a week or so later and fill the queue again. After nearly two years of doing that I just gave up :D

But I still miss it. But I also miss my abusive ex.
