Official release is meaningless for games like this.

It's already released. At some point it will go free to play, which they will call "release".

Official release help with not getting your character reset every 3 months.

It's really close to being a truly good and fun game; I'm not saying it's a likely outcome based on the last 6 months, but it's possible.

you can't have an mmo, even a half-assed one, without pve grind to keep everybody occupied and give a value to the gear used in said pvp

i used to be the guy saying that the devs keep reworking poo poo but there's no way they are just launching alpha and beta after beta without documenting some lessons learned during all this, right? its two years later and we've gone full circle. next they will re-add the endless carrot farming grind to maintain buildings because 'only the dedicated deserve to have this level of market making' or some poo poo.

it was fun killing people and looting their poo poo during all these god damned tests though and it probably will be for about a month after this shitheap finally shoves off the shore for real

Basically you should stop playing AO when the first people get to T6. Simple rule of thumb. Up until then it's fun. I haven't logged in for something like a 2 weeks now? I can't even bring myself to do so. What a waste this game is.. so what's fun to play currently and what games are coming up soon?

I'll agree; the beginning stages (first week or two) of AO are unquestionably fun.

Sadly, no games are fun to play, all games are bad.

hackmud is pretty fun. Make scripts hack pubbies take all their virtual money. It's a hacking MMO. If command line UI MMO where you can code scams and steal everything from someone that is offline isn't what you want I don't know what to tell you.

hackmud is cool if you already are into writing javascript. if you arent, its just a endless acquire virtual money simulator because watching your numbers go up is cool i guess

its not actually fun though. just like ao isnt anymore
