Did any of the Arch Age rereleases capture that feel? Ive lost count of how many times Trion has rereleased AA at this point. I was tempted to try the new server on at least one occasion but I think Im pretty much done with anything Trion has been involved in at this point.

no, every AA fresh start was a clusterfuck from what I understand

I think they're even doing *another* fresh start?

my favorite thing in an MMO was loving with afkers too

I used to play Mortal Online and the 'premier' launch clan for it would go to Gaul' Kor (a lawless mining town) and AFK macro mine

I didn't even actually kill them. I'd stand in front of them, and shove them once away from the wall, and they'd spend the rest of their AFK time mining the air :smug:

Aug 11, 2008

well some goons harbored a pedo who groomed an icelandic teenager (and had a boat with a pedobear sail and the boat was named Icelandic Teenager iirc)
there were fishing pacts that caused goons to PvP each other
they started selling something that essentially gave you the most prized crafting thing in the game at that time (thunderstuck logs)
hackers grabbed land and the company did nothing
you could basically just go outside the world and plant hundreds of trees guaranteeing you thunderstruck logs

The game on launch is legit one of the coolest MMOs I ever played. It had all kinds of fun and interesting stuff for PvPers, crafters, griefers, there was a social aspect, trading, etc.

I had one of 4 houses on Freedich because I planned out my route in beta got enough gilda, and spammed my glider through the ocean all the way out to Freedich. I then stealthed stage packs onto my house and turned them in when it was 100% safe and got myself a trade ship nearly solo.

Archeage 2 will probably have a bunch of stupid pay to win poo poo baked into it, but I'm going to keep an eye on it.

I kind of feel like it required you to do that, I lucked into some time to get in at launch and steal a good plot but the poors really had to fight for any space at all. Or you could just be that one goon that planted trees on the bottom of the map. So limited land will probably be dropped, and thus a lot of the appeal of the game.

I just hope they are actually given the ability to fix blatantly broken things this time instead of the bizarre contractual stuff they had before.

lots of goons had to get land in Windscour Savannah, the ugliest zone in the entire game

Id be curious to see what AA2 would be like with Trion removed from managing the game. There seemed to be some really serious issues between XL and Trion, and considering Trion's reputation I am not sure if most of the blame should be on XL. I mean fucks sake, the game went down for like two weeks at one point with Trion offering damned near zero explanation.

The game was seriously fun though. I was willing to ignore the exploiting and a lot of other issues because of that. Even scrambling to get a plot of land in the early days was kind of fun. Standing around a plot running a macro hoping to snipe an expiring plot with dozens of other people was one of those weird social experiences that you dont have in MMOs very often these days.

Trion definitely has some blame, but XL Games was pretty notorious about refusing to update their game in a way to make it palatable to an NA audience. A lot of the way the game was designed had pay to win sort of baked into it, and when they tried to relaunch as Unchained they just stripped out the cash stop elements but without any other changes. Unchained was a pretty big mess even by MMO standards.

mortal online was perhaps the best MMO experience ive ever had and i met lots of long time friends from it

I own MO2 and its fun to run around in but there isnot al ot to do yet

I remember on launch everyone spawned at the bottom of a lake so deep that you would drown by the time you could get up for air, causing your naked body to ragdoll and your dick to flop around in the lake, and eventually there would be so many ragdolls that the server would crash and then be brought up to do it all over again

the lake is still known as Sausage Lake
