I miss this game, might need to subscribe again and train sand worms to the temple if three winds. It'll be interesting to see all the changes too, they didn't have as much crazy shot in the cash shop last I played, but honestly being able to pay a few bucks to not grind tokens for a thousand hours would be worth it. Don't think they had dailies when I played though, so maybe those made it better.

I liked the fact that the professions weren't balanced like modern MMOs tend to be, it added flavor and was enjoyable to me. I'd reinstall and play my doctor or fixer or something but I forgot all of my usernames and passwords

blackmanjew posted:I would play WoW if it had AO's implant and OE system. Someone in the Path of Exile thread said something really insightful. When the basic gameplay is simple and repetitive (like virtually every MMO), you have to have deep, rich, and *gasp* complex systems behind it to make the game fun. I think AO hit this balance perfectly.

Heads up, servers were merged outta the blue yesterday. No more Atlantean and Rimor, just one Rubi-ka. Hopefully this'll help the population issues.

Funcom posted:Here is the algorithm we used to resolve naming collisions. It walks through each Check in order, and then either determines a "winner" (the guy who keeps the name), or it determines to move on to the next Check in the sequence if the winner cannot be determined on that check. This is why I always name my characters Humperdinckelschmidt. Time to spend three months redoing my GUI and backpacks...

I don't know why they just don't make it f2p with a cash shop instead of a laughable 15 bucks a month with the added convenience of paying 30 for a 1k token pack or whatever.

I think they will do that with the conversion to the new engine, especially if they're going to get the game up on Steam at the same time. I could hear the zone music in my head watching this. . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej2_VvvGTRQ&hd=1

I'm pretty sure you can play for free, but you can't switch between free and paid. Once you've paid, you have to stay that way or you can't access your stuff.

I'd be willing to bet that for the amount of money people pay to their cash shop/monthly subscription (in addition to fools like us that would surely hop on) you could set up a kickstarter for an actual AO 2.

So are there still people playing this? I've got some guys in the 25-150 level range and a bil or so to spend but is there anything to do? Did the merge help the population?

Well I saw this thread: http://forums.anarchy-online.com/showthread.php?t=604213 Seems to be doing a bit better. The neutnet stats also imply it's not a total graveyard. Which... isn't really saying much but there you have it.

I'm in for a go. I downloaded yesterday, and will be on a bit later tonight, and probably this weekend. I had time this morning to make an engineer, log into the newbie zone, and realize I have to read the manual. I'll be alt-tabbing between screens to learn some of the basics tonight. Character's name is VacantDan, feel free to say hello. If I'm slow to respond, it's because I haven't used a chat window or played an mmog in 3 years or so. I played a few months during the first year the game was out. Always thought it had a lot of potential, but was buggy, and friends from other mmogs never tried it out. Should be fun for touring around for a while if nothing else.

Manual? I don't need no drat manual. So to get this mortiig beater on my enforcer I first need to create CL implants for buffs requiring Agility/Sta/Str, time to use auno.org. Oh wait, I have bags full of implants... from before I knew you could name bags. One hour later I finally have them and am laddering now. What were they called again? SFA, IC, Behe, FG and the +12 boosts... 15/month/account is still too much, I could buff myself up but I'm not paying FC another fifteen.

I played this from 2001-2004. Nothing beats the game when it was first launched (if you can ignore bugs). There was endless griefing. OP stuff. You could twink toons ridiculously because in the first month or two the treatment center was bugged where you could get treatment from just stacking people. The tutoring devices were bugged where you could put on 6x belts at lvl 1. After the expansions it went down hill. I gave my crap away to a friend when they offered a free month last year.

I always said that they should of done an AO2 rather than spend countless cash on the now dead Conan and soon to be dead TSW. They had a gem with this game that just needed a thorough update to modern in terms of UI, graphics, poo poo, even make it like a true FPS/RPG shooter.

If they ever want a big playerbase again, they'd need to fix the mission system to be more likely to provide rewards you can use. The game is fun, but what isn't fun is sitting at a mission terminal with that third party program that automates your mouse clicks and rejects missions until you get something relevant. I could see how that wouldn't be so bad with a big population, but the game doesn't exactly have that anymore.
