The Blue Orb was created by ORBBLE as a way to lock users into its ecosystem of proprietary enchantments, visions, and transcendental meditations. The orb is purposely ponderable in order to on-board new users quickly in hopes that ease of access and a supposed level of “security” will keep them from trying other options that might require more diligence on behalf of the user.

I've been playing with oroboro, the free and open source orb implementation fork, but every time I try to build it it ends up as a doheptacontahedron.

I tried running the facet 2.0 patch but that made the whole thing pear-shaped.

Like I understand that the blue orb sucks. All of the psionic spying is just absolutely detestable, but until we have an adequate wizard owned replacement that is literally just plug into the dragon vein and play, we have to use the blue orb or come off the big ducats for Red orb.
