Not only does it have sub, but unless something changed lol no, it's the most expensive one of the western mmo's. If memory serves from last time, it's around 17.xx € for a monthly?

i only played this game super casually back in the day (because i was a literal child) but i thought i remembered people being happy when shadowlands came out. were there big things about it people hated?

I liked SL too. One awful thing that springs to mind though were the huge pain on the rear end Ergo quests you had to do to progress deeper. Also I suppose that settingwise SL moved from the original technological sci-fi towards some kind of weird mythical mystical whatever something sci-fi. Beats me because gently caress if I listened those yuttos talk lol

But dunno really where most SL hate comes from, it was alright.

quick, what's the most overpowered profession or profession combo in vanilla AO

were crats ridiculous at launch as well or naw

Hm, trying to remember what I played.

Fixer is cool if you got grid armor but their vanilla damage was kinda meh since they only have burst.

Agent was in a pretty decent place way the hell back then, aimed shots were 15k with a relatively short cooldown (compared to soldier fullauto etc etc). I wonder if pvp damage will be uncapped as it used to be?

I think pet professions were always pretty good? Even engineer.

Did they say when the server will actually be up by the way? Also wonder how the business model will be. If it's still the most expensive mmo sub + p2w cash shop on top of that, I will actually pass this, nostalgia or no.

Hmh, Funcom is really loving up advertising this server. I haven't even gotten an email or anything. If someone hadn't mentioned it here, I'd have no idea this was even a thing.

How's the population atm? The original servers must be rotten dead with this population split.

lol someone mentioned how you can buy upgraded feetmans gear from shops so now I'm just apex shuttling around looking at the stores, 95% of me playing the game atm is me not playing the game. It's almost like AO except in AO you can press burst and fullauto every now and then.

I would play AO so much more if I didn't feel ripped off every time I see the sub charge.

Hell, if it was like 5 bucks or something I might not ever bother canceling it.

Even more insane since they did have Shadowlands sub in the past, and I think the price tag was 5 bucks. But they remove it because ??? <insert reasons> ???

Probably confusing with fgrid quests.

I think it's only good that rk2019 is dead. Generally speaking a sensible prerequisite for having a second server is that the first one doesn't resemble the surface of Venus when it comes to player population.

I recall people posting public Funcom financial reports in the past. Those might have something about it but I got no idea where to find them.
