Peak craft for me was soloing ely hecklers after you can charm horrors. Definitely fun, though I got tired of spamming nuke all the time at 220.

Do you know if FC is doing anything for 20th anniversary? Free game time perhaps?

I semi-accidentally remembered a few days ago that the anniversary is soonish but I don't think there was anything about it on the forum.

My favorite companion in this game was a Casio calculator i used aggressively everytime i tried to tweak my toon.
Put that lvl 15 doc with lvl 75 equips at the entrance of the subway with pvp flags on and enjoy.

That equipement mini game was GOLDEN.

lol someone mentioned how you can buy upgraded feetmans gear from shops so now I'm just apex shuttling around looking at the stores, 95% of me playing the game atm is me not playing the game. It's almost like AO except in AO you can press burst and fullauto every now and then.

ah..... the BigBurger

I think engis use Dog of War now, and my soldier uses a JAME pistol

if I make the engi it'll be all about getting that big robot though, so NCU and buff stacking until I get a slayerdroid. keeper... probably dual wielding melee energy

yeah, it's from one of the 'new' zones (The Reck). basically a pistol with burst and good stats. great on mid level crats, engis, soldiers, etc

Did they ever lower the sub cost? 20 year old games with no new xpacs shouldn't cost $15 / month.

I would play AO so much more if I didn't feel ripped off every time I see the sub charge.

Hell, if it was like 5 bucks or something I might not ever bother canceling it.

Kind of insane they don't have a $5 option that adds just shadowlands or something to the froob package. They could be getting $60/year I'd just forget about until this thread gets bumped and I reload my original characters, play for a few days, then stop when I remember I'm still a level 131 fixer and grinding GA mk2 and 3 is literally mind-numbingly insane.

Even more insane since they did have Shadowlands sub in the past, and I think the price tag was 5 bucks. But they remove it because ??? <insert reasons> ???

The froob experience is pretty good these days, but agreed. I personally don't mind the sub fee because while the game is old, it also doesn't have the population to keep it in the black with no fee/a severely reduced fee, I think. I have 1 paid account and a few froob accounts which take care of crafting, warping, and some froob twinking projects which are pretty fun.

I wish they fully made the jump from p2p to f2p+cash shop or had tiers of subs, but pretty sure whoever's managing the game is just phoning it in, it's like 20 years old

i would not mind perhaps occasionally running team missions or something on froob accounts

unfortunately the only thing i have lower than like 140 is probably just NTs


However if anybody needs an NT im p sure i have like 9 accounts filled with them so that I can literally group with every level ><

Ya, I kept one of my accounts SL only for this very purpose. Honestly if they even lowered it to 9.99 I'd probably fire up 6 of my accounts and start multiboxing the game again.

Edit: Better yet if the game died and someone got a real emulator going similar to how Asheron's Call has ended up. Although I'm not sure its popular enough.
