My crackpot theory is that the Xenomorph scourge is simply just a symptom of Eternum beginning to break down (albeit at a much faster rate due in part to the VRMMO system). If the cycles theory is correct then we're basically heading for an end of the cycle reset, and is the reason why The Founder is speeding his search for the Gems and use its power for himself before he too gets swept by the collapse.
yo, same with the Zombie incursion that is mentioned for other servers. The whole system...what ever it really is...seems to be at the brink.

Hrmmm. Yeah, forcing the realms to become this weird existence of programmed realms can't be good. Xenomorphs being some sort of natural resistance or bug in the realms does make sense. Iirc, though, one of the audio recordings in Andromeda said that the xenomorphs had always been there. Since the start of the "game". So they're not new or recent. So they would predate the Eternum not-VRMMO mechanism. :unsure:
The Xenomorphs have been there but they were confined to Andromeda. However, based on the Isaac tapes they were basically confined to the edges of the system until the players started going deeper, eventually attacking and infecting players who are able to take them to other servers and spread them. And it's not just the Xenomorphs, but every other server is starting to unravel, with some servers either falling to a zombie apocalypse (as Takkatakka had reminded me) or the NPCs starting to go haywire like in Ekabar.

This was likely foreseen by Idriel (who has some sort of prescience ability or has lived through the cycles (if you subscribe to the cycles theory)), which is why she (and the Syndicate and - based on his dialogue with Caly in Ogygia - Thanatos) are talking as if some creeping doom is about to befall Eternum, and that the only way to likely save everyone is for Orion to stop being an absolute arrogant horndog and finally get his shit together. :HideThePain:

Have you played FreshWomen's update where they added voice acting? Not sure when they added it, didn't scroll through the change-log. It's surprisingly good, to the point where it's on par with above average modern cartoons. Considering the amount of money they're making, and how few VA they need to employ I guess they didn't need to skimp on talent.
I haven't played in a while. I finished Season 1 and was waiting for season 2, then got distracted with other AVNs. It takes me a while to play through them depending on their size. I'll have to go back and check it out some time, I'm intrigued. Personally I'd be happy with an AI that would just read it like an audio book so long as it doesn't sound like a robot.

Ohhh, yeah. Okay, so this is actually some big reality bomb that needs to be averted. Its not just "break the cycle" and "save the trapped dead". The realms themselves are cracking.

Assuming the Founder was the last "winner/all-Gem holder", I wonder if this is some shit like Mistborn. Where the big villain who fucked everything up was actually trying to use his godlike power to save everyone and fix everything, but in his naivete and ignorance, he made the wrong choice. Maybe thats why he's giving out the Gems and getting others to recover them. Its not so they go to him for help and he betrays them and gets to "mua ha ha ha" back to godhood. He needs a more informed and stronger will to fix everything.

Yes, and I turned it off as soon as possible. The dad's voice acting was particularly jarring.

I have never played an AVN where I thought full voice acting added to the experience. It's always been a waste of time and money from my perspective.

Anyway, all of the above are just crackpot theories on my end. Might end up being wrong, but eh. :HideThePain:
