Remember when the $150 Silver per-order package was #1 on Steam sales for like a week?

lol they made bank off this lovely game

Everyone i know that played this has either
a) sold their accounts and recouped any money they spent.

or

b) did a credit card chargeback and got back any money they spent.

I have no idea why people still spend money on this game.

Romeos, the leader of KGB, was pretty well known for being the biggest whale on Ollo. For example he bought and regrade-destroyed tons of kraken weapons back when they were the best thing in the game. Just for fun. $100,000 is a totally believable number. He's just an amateur compared to some EVE and mobile game whales though.

Oh I figured anyone still playing has a huge chance of being a whale, it's just that he hasn't been noted for it in the last few games I've played where KGB was a thing.

With that I don't think there's anyone left on Ollo that I like. Good thing I haven't played since December or so.

I tried both of these and failed. By the time I had quit, the game was in full-on dumpster fire mode and nobody was buying accounts anymore. The credit card I used to buy the $150 pack had a 60 day limit on chargebacks, and it had been like 6 or 7 months since I had made the purchase :saddowns:

Swooping down and unsummoning the glider to land perfect on a deck to launch an AoE fear to knock jerkoffs off their fishboats will live fondly in my memories of a good moment in a poo poo game run by idiots.

I kinda miss working my small little farm, trying to fiddle as many plants into it as possible.
Then making a trade pack, hop on my boat. Sailing for 5-10minutes only to be ganked right before the dock.
Those were the times.

Only is they kept this game in the pre-arcume nerf in the alpha before the store was added, those were great times.

It was pretty fun in the months before launch and maybe a month after. Definitely not worth the over $200 I invested in it though. This game probably croaked faster than any other MMO I've played in the last dozen years.

I made an auto-it script that would plant them most efficiently by number of pixels per plant type.then another that mashed the harvest button over and over while walking the length and width of the plot. Made pretty good money auto-farming stuff to either auction off or turn into potions. Think hat project turned out to be more fun than the game itself. I didn't get constantly told "gently caress off, unless you spend hundreds of dollars to buy the bottom tier of acceptable gear you're poo poo and will stay poo poo, and even then the guys that spent thousands will poo poo on you"

Really did enjoy the tears when thunder struck trees became available to the masses. So many butt hurt archeage 1%-ers raged about not being special snowflakes anymore. Was great.

That was the beginning of the end for me, when I went from logging in 3x a day to check for thunderstrucks, to not logging in for a couple days at a time.

If you choose to stay on your server (or if you take no action to apply for a transfer), your characters will be involved in the upcoming merger.

Items that are normally destroyed during a land demolish must be packed up into your character’s inventory or warehouse in order to prevent their destruction.

No guilds or families will be carried over to the new server. All guilds and families must be reformed after the merge.

No castles will be kept during the merge.


lol

Server """"evolutions"""". I guess that's the new marketing lingo for a server merge where you lose absolutely everything that matters... and by the way give us more money

So how exactly is this going to work, "merge and lose everything to play with people, or stay in your ghost town to keep it all"?

I don't think the latter is an option. They are telling players that those things are happening, no asking.

More like "Transfer and lose everything OR merge and lose everything" with no other options.

Haven't even looked at this game for months but they sent me a "please come back please oh god :qq: " email.

I'd consider playing it again if they got rid of the rampant botting and made decent plots of land available for people who aren't poopsockers/bots. Did or are they fixing either of those things?
