Well I'm not going to deny it happened, because it was so long ago I barely remember anything. I remember driving my car that was slightly slower than walking. There are most likely some bad memories but I kinda just remember having a fun time with AO at launch.

I remember killing mobs that would ask "can i have ur zword" and doing an instanced mission and getting a potted plant as a reward and wearing short shorts because there was male and female clothing and it was not labeled or limited to each gender. That's about my entire recollection of AO, overall i think i liked it?

How does that even happen? The 'n' key isnt even close to 'a' or 'l' so its likely not a typo.

If you don't like something in the game, just edit your .ini! There is no server side check. Enjoy.

It's all client-side stuff that has literally 0 effect on the game. Even the gravity flight stuff -- you'll see yourself bounding through the clouds while in reality you're just standing still, perfectly able to get beat on.

Well, I was planning on trying it at least a month, but what I've been seeing was so very bad (not the fps/performance thats playable for me, but choices they made for the game. The combat system sucks, the English translation is not good, there's literally no endgame right now, etc) that I felt I couldn't pass up the "everyone gets a refund" offer that steam is apparently giving out right now. Its the first time I ever asked for a refund for a game.

Good luck, folks.

My turn to be an idiot!

...will report back with my refund request in an hour or two :V

edit: welp, character creation crashed to desktop. 6/10, GOTY

Time To Refund: 73 minutes. 40 of which were spent in the character creation. Bleah.

I caved and bought it too. Aside from issues with the resolution, it's been entertaining enough. I actually don't think the translation is as bad as most other Korean MMOs. The quest translations aren't that bad anyway, don't know what the gently caress happened with the skills. I also kind of like the combat so far. I think I can have fun with it until they eventually start adding truly objectionable poo poo to the cash shop or until BFA comes out to satisfy my thirst for blood. Whichever comes first.

Doesn't seem all that bad so far, but im only a few hours in...

See you all at the Defiance 2050 re-launch in a few months where Trion haven't changed any of the content or game play from 2013 but have broken everything into monetizable chunks while making you re-purchase everything, also none of the bugs from 5 years ago were fixed in the closed beta.

You can also post an auction, take it down, and then capture that packet. Spoof that packet over and over to dupe everything to infinity.

Trust me, I feel worse! I lost everything a couple of months ago. While I’m still immobile (and friendless, jobless, and family-less) I just need a game I can mash buttons in so I don’t spend, like, all my time drinking. Just most of it.
