I remember some months or maybe a year back when they had to do some database upgrading or something due to some issue with mission ids. They were talking about it like the server was some ancient cave to the core of the world, filled with demons and leprechauns. They were truly terrified.

I can only imagine the drama if all the farm orgs from both servers had to fight over their precious plots.. didn't they add a few (mostly disliked) zones just to compensate for the German server? I can't imagine RK2 folks would be keen on being forced into Four Craters North and I can't imagine anybody on RK1 wants to give up their keen land. A shame really.. even combined the population would be weak but as is it's mostly a ghost town at this point. I went ahead and bit the bullet for three more months, just got an engy up in levels and want to enjoy it for a little bit. There's also a small hope that things will pick up after holidays and maybe people will get bored with things like TOR and TSW.. I mean.. yea it's delusional, but ah well, I THINK the game will last three more months at least.

I'm pretty sure a large part of RK1 towns aren't even used any more. They're simply old farm cities of people who haven't been around for ages. They've just left billions in org bank so their cities won't expire for many years. Guess FC could just add small instanced cities if they wanted to though. There are already large ones.

If Tor was a slap to AO's already bloody face, then GW2 is going to be a roundhouse kick when it comes out. I wonder how much Funcom would sell the AO IP for? And why has there never been a fan server for AO?

I have been goofing around on RK1 with one of my friends and I was wondering if you would mind my level 16 engineer joining whatever is left of the goon org. I have played before, but I have never made it past level 50. This time I am hoping to get to the end game at least once before the server population drops much more.

Just this morning I was thinking about when I finally found a Redline grenade launcher for my engineer. I loved having a gun that went BOOM and freaked out anyone that had never seen one in action before. There were so many elements of AO that were quite clever and would work just fine in a modern game. Even simple things like the upgradeable engie equipment (pistol, hat, etc.) I really enjoyed the complexity that provided utility, not just a timesink. If only the gameworld had been more populated, and Shadowlands not sent things off in a direction that held absolutely no appeal to me.

I might sub this weekend if Creation Kit for Skyrim doesn't come out (Bethesda  ). So, if you really want an invite to a literally dead org, talk to Grumps or Gromps if you see them online.

I made what was possibly my worst finacial decision of the year so far and reup'd for a month on my paid account. The problem is that since I last played I upgraded my machine with an ATI card. Ripping texture ahoy. The AO main forums are less than useless and the "fix" it lists involves outdated versions of DirectX and 3rd party programs that haven't been updated since the Bush administration. Is there some, more recent way to get AO to play nice with an ATI card, or force the drat thing to software render?

Does anybody who quit this game a long time ago still have character/twink ideas? I can't get rid of the impulse to come up with ideas for new characters that I can't even roll because my two full accounts have both expired. I've never had a game that I can't get out of my mind like this. It has been like 2 years now, I wonder when I'll stop thinking of ideas for cheezing AO content using multi-logged characters.

I've got a 150 soldier that's done, a 25 enforcer with alien armor that's done but I still need to finish a 150 MA, a 150 keeper, a 60 enforcer and I'd like to have a 220. I've got the items and armor for some of those but yeah.

If you are interested in making Froob twinks then checkout LordDredd's blog. He has a bunch of twinks setups listed. http://lorddredd-anarchy.blogspot.com/ I followed his setup to make a Subway battlerod doctor and it utterly wrecks the last boss.

Lots of players playing? Or is it a ghost town? Last time I played was last summer for a bit and there were not too many people left. Oh, and any more word on the graphics overhaul? They have been working on it for like 4 yrs now. I think one guy doing all the mods would have to be done by now, lol.

God only knows what their development roadmap is (or if they have one).

I'd love to get back into AO but there are so many other games to play/books to read/things to do. But I'd seriously consider spending some time on it with that new engine. Don't gently caress it up Funcom.

Grid armor was (still is?) the bar none goal of a froob fixer. you wont find anything on rubki that compares to it. the problem is its fairly rare and fairly expensive, and most of the best money making schemes require access to the expansions. thats how it was a few years anyway, I have no idea now although I assume not much has changed for froob accounts.

Just to touch on this briefly, if you don't plan on using Grid Armor don't put a single point into Matter Creation as a Fixer. The only thing I know of that Fixers use MC for other than GA is a line of really lovely nanos that let you summon weapons and ammo that is completely useless.

Anyone have any tips for getting Clicksaver to work? I can't get it to create the local database, and I even went through the hassle of installing the SDK for that one .dll file, dropped it in the Clicksaver directory, and still no go. Google isn't much help either.

I'm not sure how much a name list will help because most "active" goons I've known ingame usually play for a bit and vanish for months before coming back for a little while again. Me included. If roflbot happens to be alive, it's better to just use that to meet others.
