You couldn't just put it on like in EQ1. You had to camp buffing gear, buy stuff from other players, and run around for specific buffs while calculating stuff on the casio you kept by your PC. It was glorious. Imagine pumping up your level 25 character to the point where they can solo level 100 enemies.

Just started playing again for the first time in 15 years. Man, the characters feel like 4 polygons. I really hope someday they'll modernize it.

Use the old client, it has less slowdowns. ICC will always be laggy because it's poorly optimized. You can customize the UI to a certain extent, but it'll always be very 90s

SL moved AO from cool cyberpunk game to yet another drab fantasy game. The areas were so rich in XP and valuable loot that RK became deserted overnight. It was full of selfish kiters running around death trains, lag, overtuned mobs, and the dumbest of dumb quests. The biggest mistake Funcom made was making RK completely obsolete by making the Shadowlands better in every single way for leveling. There's zero reason to ever go back to Rubi-Ka aside from dipping down at level 60 and 100 for some nodrop dungeon items.

The level cap actually is 10 and it's hilarious to raid absmouth without high level buffs or tradeskills

Felt great to blitz together a set of QL 30 implants (couldn't put on higher without some major effort since I'm blitzing 2k credits at a time and don't have SFA, behe, or any of that poo poo)

Logging for the night, but tomorrow I'm going to put on an illegal ofab SMG at level 10, a trivial achievement on live, but a pretty drat sweet one on here.

From Massivelyop:


I want to play, but I'd be pissed if the server didn't take off and my character was deleted, considering how much time it takes to max out in this game.

Imo there's like a zero percent chance they'll actually just straight up delete characters after a year

It's more of an initial test than a full release i think, what with the level cap of 10

I started as an enforcer, brought a group into the sewers for virgil and we got him down to like 10% before wiping. Made it to 20 pretty fast though, now to figure out how to get a good 1h blunt and upgrade some gear a bit, I never had too much experience in the game.

(3) Run missions for credits. I’m clan so I head to Avalon and roll a bunch of find item / person missions that are located in Old Athen. The distance between mission terminal and mission location influences credit rewards, so try to maximize it! It’ll net you 2-3k pet run around level 10 and closer to 11k once you’re at 20.

Neutrals can run missions in newland city rolled in hope for 10k each at 20

Does clicksaver still work? I need to make some money for some newbie implants today and maybe finish leveling to 20 and getting an ofab SMG.

Works fine, I'm using clicksaver 2.4 for mission pulling and mishbuddy when rolling for specific items since it has a built in list.

E: We need a goon chat channel or org imo

As long as there's some distance so you get 8k per mission instead of 3 you're good

NT is actually real good. If you want to find groups easily, enforcer, doc, or anything with dps works just fine. I'm a fixer, which means I don't get the most groups, but I've got nice buffs to make up for it.

Am I the only one that hopes they keep Shadowlands away from the RK2019 server for a long time, or even better not introduce it? To me prime AO was right before SL released. Shadowlands was just a huge departure from the original game and killed it for me and pretty much killed the game. I started playing again and me and my old school friends are having tons of fun. But since they already introduced Notum Wars I'm worried that Shadowlands is around the corner and will kill the fun. I will probably stop playing again when/if Shadowlands is released.

Ideally I'd go with no shadowlands but yes to perks and keepers

im the guy who originally wrote clicksaver like 15 years ago and lmao that you still need to use that unwieldy poo poo to get a mission worth your time

I had a stint as a programmer at funcom during age of conan's development and they told me fun stories about clicksaver, like how one programmer on the ao team was hellbent on breaking it and did overtime and stuff. ("Have you told him it's you who made it? Well then don't")

also they told me that they once had planned to revamp the ao mission ui but decided not to bother because clicksaver existed :(

Thank u for your service
