Of course you mean you plan to wait a while to avoid the Funcom MMO release clusterfuck when AO2 comes out.

Which comes out first, AO engine update or Star Citizen that'll satisfy the people who donated 2000+ USD on it? I will go to my grave pondering this

I desperately want this game to get popular again, or at least falsely invest my hopes in a possible sequel. This game, at the height of its popularity, represented the golden age of MMOs for me.

I have some fond memories about this game but then I make myself stop and remember the rest of it, which was 95% horrible garbage. It's one of the only online RPGs I know of that was pretty OK at release, and got steadily much shittier with each content expansion. The Shadowlands expansion looked so awesome in principle but wow holy loving poo poo what terrible mechanics it introduced (except the Shade, which was a fascinating overly-complicated button mashy backstabber class that I loved tremendously) Do not play this game it is a bad game.

The reason twinking was so fun was because you needed a number of class buffs, knowledge of implants, and a few gears you had to get yourself because most of it was untradeable. I had so much fun getting my enforcer twinked out in top ToTW gear the moment he was able to even enter the place. I tried hard to get a Panther on him but i was a few points short at the end.

I remember when tower wars came out, I got my 20ish trader into some mantis armor and one of those ridiculously expensive shotguns after hours of twinking and just started destroying in pvp. For like 10 minutes and then some guy came along and wrecked me. GOTY

Yeah twinking was great fun. I think the "world record" was a level 8 agent that equipped a QL200 rifle, which must have taken an insane amount of work.

The high point of the game was when I was able to buy my first mount that cost me all my money, It was the land car. And because of stats when I used the car it was slower then walking. That is anarchy online story.

QL10 Yalms being the best of all possible flying cars was great, shut up. (The Grid/Fgrid was a great fast travel implementation though and more games should copy it like Secret World did.)

Flying speed being a set amount making QL 1 yalms better than QL 200 land cars was so retarded hahaha. The Grid was legitimately one of the most awesome fast travel systems I've experienced, however.

If I remember right, Ql200 Yalms actually were faster, but the difference was so minimal that there was zero reason to waste the IP on flying vehicles skill to get into one.

In the end everybody simply teleported everywhere. I liked the system with grid waypoints and actual footwork/flying around better before teleporting nanos became a big thing.

ToTW was the worst loving dungeon and the only reason I was able to bypass it on my 5th+ char was because he got twinked. My agent, adventurer, fixer, medic, and crat all loving died to it.

And absolutely nobody wanted fixers in Inferno missions, so getting from 205 to 220 would take a *long* time. So I went ahead and level limited it at 150 so I could farm S10 with smurf armor when the 4m cr bounties were in place.

I honestly couldn't stand the grind so I never went above 150, just twinked. Relaxing, really.
