After some long discussion regarding harvesting mechanics and the RNG and whatnot on the Official Forums, someone posted this tongue-in-cheek conspiracy theory that made me giggle intermittently for hours. I had to share, credited to Jesdyr@Unrest :
Quote:
RNG - So it is true then ... EQ2 is actually using a hash created from various part of your DNA sequence along with what the index number of your character as a seed value. They then use an entropy value based on your brain scan* which is gathered from a spy satellite network that was launched by SoE in 1999-2001. These values along with a value range are then sent** to a super computer that was build on the surface of mars by an unknown race. Here the data is plugged into an algorithm that would take days to calculate on a "normal" PC. This super computer then outputs the resulting number and transmits it back to EQ2 game servers.


(* This brain scan is also used to determine exactly what you are looking for in the game and it dynamically reduces the chance of this goal from being achieved)

(** The transmission method is currently classified by the US government but it is designed to bypass normal physics so that the data transition happens in under 1ns)
