It depends on what interpretation of QM you subscribe to. Copenhagen would say asking which state it exists in is nonsensical. It is existing in many states simultaneously. Observation causes a deterministic collapse of the wave-function. In other words, reality is in the observation not the cat.

Many worlds theory would also have the cat dead and alive simultaneously. The key difference is that the wave function doesnt collapse. Putting the cat in a box created multiple universes within the multiverse. Ones with dead cats and ones with live cats. When you observe you see which cat world you live in.

There are quite a few other interpretations of the nature of quantum mechanics but I will spare you.

Wouldn't the cat just be observing?

The cat's just dead, regardless. The only thing to be determined is an individual's knowledge of the death.

Well, I dunno about the cat, but the horse sure is. ZING!

Yes, the cat would be but this is a thought experiment so no real cats were harmed.

More seriously though, you are right. That is why Erwin Schrödinger proposed it in the first place. To illustrate the problems with the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics when applied to ordinary stuff like cats.

Rallos Zek was more fun than any of the other blue servers.

Weapon type affected drops. I.e. if you used a blunt weapon you'd only get cracked X drops from the mob.

TZ for me. First few days of server launch were so spectacular. Imagine EC with a 900+ pop and half of them are trying to kill the other half. VZ was anarchy while TZ was a war. Then again I always prefer team deathmatch and CTF over FFA in most games.

rofl wait im going to update this one with what we red players really thought

People on Rallos Zek were better at EQ than blue players.

I was a guide for a few years on live and here are a some stories that GMs told me:


3. There is a hidden prison, I think under Rathe Mountains, that Senior Guides can bind really obnoxious players to when there is no GM around to issue a ban/kick. The prison has no exit, and you can't use any abilities, items, or spells.

.

This is actually based on some fact. Not the no use ablities etc just that some zones had weird "jail" areas in them....

I was stuck in one of these boxes in The Warrens. I am not sure if I didn't have the right expansion or the right files or what not at the time, but I zoned into the warrens and the game crashed, when i logged back in I was in this Box with weird writing on the walls, no way out, had to petition and some guide (i assume maybe a gm) came to me and said, wow this is interesting, than proceeded to summon me to the stonebrunt mtn side of the warrens instead of Paineel. Had a real problem getting back as I was still in my teens at the time.

One rumor I remember is that necromancers and Shadow knights benefited from gear with negative cha stats.
