I played AO once before as a newbie but didn't make it very far, and this was after the game had gone into decline. Though I absolutely love the setting, music and atmosphere to it. It looks like the developers mixed Dune with Blade Runner.

I'd like to play it again. But Jesus Christ. If the game wasn't so byzantine.

so just before the new engine release Funcom gets raided by Norway's National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime?

Is this is a loving joke.

It's the Waiting for Godot of games, as it's a giant existential joke.

Hay guys

Been a few weeks since anyone posted anything.

Been watchin someone play AO on YouTube. I do other things on my second monitor I swear!

I don't know if that's sadder than playing AO.

In lieu of playing Anarchy Online I've opted to watch an affable Welshman play it on YouTube.

Atrox fixer is the best, grid armor and a large hp bonus. I would main tank everything for my old clan mercenaries of kai, before we all left for swg when notum wars became unfun. The game has a great soundtrack also, worth listening to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg8ryBJPTCg
the soundtrack does seriously own

Seems like it'd be better to just hand it over to the community like some of these other early-2000s MMOs.

Otherwise it's going the way of Shadowbane I think.

Age of Conan is to MMOs what the Ben-Hur reboot is to movies.

Holy poo poo

Have you looked at the market terminal? The inflation seems to be going through the roof with the same rate as the game population is dying. Just couple things I looked and seems empty ancient devices are 400 million now, predator pieces varying but 30 million for pieces that were only couple before. 240+ viralbots 85m+. :lol:

Prices have literally multiplied with double digit amounts since I last played. You can forget about buying anything any more.

It's pretty depressing seeing AO in this state, all the bots are gone too because FC apprently banned the people who maintained them. So no more iraid, dnet, neutnet, nothing. Welp.

Tbh, funcum should just pull the plug on AO and stop raping its battered corpse.
This just now occurred to me, but with this it seems the way to play AO these days is to do it solo, froob, just to explore the general atmosphere at this point.

Which probably isn't a bad way to play all things considered.

Oh, so inflation, but inflation because there are just so many credits sloshing around the in-game economy.

Well, haven't done that yet, but I will.
