Conquistador posted:32 fixer on rk1 here; how the heck am I supposed to make credits at this level? Getting tired of craptastic weapons and my treat suit I was having this same problem. Blitz your nanos/weapons/armor, save credits for implants and unblitzable stuff. Level on stuff that drops pearls, sell pearls for credits.

As a new player you can roll your pets/weapons simply because you don't have the means to twink into excessively high level stuff. You can generally roll missions that are ~2x your level, do a bit of twinking into that item and be good to go.

Fewd posted:I got similar love-hate relationship with AO. Rage part must wait though since I feel compelled to sub a month after this free one runs out. I love this game, but it's really hard to justify paying $15 a month for a 9 year old game with very few players and an ancient engine that doesn't cope well with modern machines.

Out of curiosity I checked my account status and apparently my account is playable through November of 2012 before another payment is due. Now I need to download the client and figure out what is going on.

Nope, I made a new froob account just to be sure. Froob accounts say Account Type:Free at the top, while this account is 'Normal.' The account was also made in 2003, and I don't think you could make froob accounts back then.

Every once and awhile I hop onto this game to see if my account still works. Still going strong, hasn't asked me for a payment since 2008. Maybe I won a contest or something and nobody told me.

bigfatspacko_uk posted:Agreed. I think pretty much all anyone wants from Funcom is AO2. There's no way Funcom could pull it off. Everyone in this thread has played Funcom's 'patches' for AO and some of you have tried their more recent MMO outings. AO was a fluke and there's no way Funcom is capable of remaking it for modern systems without ruining what made it so fun to play.

With the apparent massive dropoff in people playing lately has there been any word from Funcom about killing the server or a server merger? I cannot comprehend why they still have the server split in 2 with such a tiny fanbase.

Tyshalob posted:The new Game Director has announced she's leaving and they haven't announced who her replacement will be. I know the game is cash flow positive and all, but with Lindelu and Kintaii leaving I'm having serious doubts about the future of Anarchy Online. Everytime I see this thread gets a new post I think oh god they've finally released the graphical update. One day I'll finally accept that it's never coming out, probably when they turn the servers off.

Just wait for the new engine to come out of beta.

Fewd posted:TSW type business model would definitely be my favourite. It's basically completely optional to pay, but the bigger content patches cost something like 10-15 bucks. Of course that'd mean they'd get no money from AO because... yeah, when did they put out last meaningful content patch again? Well they've got the engine update (allegedly) coming out which they've been promising for like 6+ years. If they release that and then don't do anything else for AO they'd be insane.

BadLlama posted:Do they have any recent screenshots for the overhaul? The last ones I remember seeing were from like 2010 and it made the game go from a 1999 game to a 2003 game. They sent out 2 images from the beta with the email trying to trick you into paying them $100 to play anarchy online. The first thing I thought is it looks like Morrowind when you spend a few hours modding in new textures and shaders.

Ineptitude posted:How good are those dailies for leveling? Just did a daily at 140 and it's the first time I haven't leveled from turning it in. There's 3 kind of dailies, rk ai and team. The rk and ai dailies take less than half an hour and are generally super easy. The team mission wants you to go kill a bunch of mobs in a dungeon so it can be hard to finish solo but you get partial credit as you kill so it's not bad.

A built beamer would be 20+ mil, less if you spend the time tracking down someone to tradeskill it. SMG is like 150+ Echoing farming Predator armor, it's decent for your level and the parts you don't need sell quite well which you can use to either buy parts you're missing or to help get implants/weapons.
