Yeah but as far as I know no items (resonators, busters, power cubes…) go higher than 8

I joined Ingress during the closed beta, and technically still play, incredibly rarely. Before they started monetizing it with boosts and extra item storage and stuff, it was a really cool, unique game. Meet up with other players of both factions and either blanket the town and spend a couple hours hacking every portal high enough level to give good gear, or battle live for control of real locations. I once fought off a couple by myself, the three of us frantically running around a playground/park for like 90 minutes. Good fun, good exercise too.

When PGO was released, and the swarm of new players to effectively the same game (same backend, same locations, just a different visual and Pokémon instead of Portals and Lore) lots of places got bitchy about people coming around and not buying stuff, getting very Karen about the situation. Pair that with the desire to cash in on both games, and then tightening the requirements and restrictions for android (for a long time, I couldn’t play because I was running GrapheneOS).

I still fire it up when I think about it and have some time, but I haven’t been to a meet-up in over a decade, even longer for an official event. I’m still level 8, so I can interact with all items afaik, but my stats are basically a time capsule of a time forgotten.

I swear that wasn’t the case, but I guess I’m wrong. Where do you go to ‘trade in’ the licenses?

My first used license ‘expired’ after a year, even though I’m 99% sure they are perpetual. So I’m on my second, waiting for that to expire too…

Wait, they had two instances of not real? They are learning too much.

Freedom of Form Foundation is working on this (and the rest of the body) :3
