"Muerte, buen compinche. Muerte."
I missed the old AO thread and am thinking of trying to play again. Come join me in celebrating this old dead game by posting in this thread and maybe playing? Also if anyone was wondering the original poster of the previous thread broke his 30 year record of not posting anywhere to come and personally close the thread.

Edit: Oh here's a link to the steam store page if you wanna play yourself? https://store.steampowered.com/app/396280/ Ya for real they put this old dead game up on steam, the future is wild.

This keeps popping up in my recommendations on Steam but there wasn't a thread here so I didn't bother with it.

I am glad that you can now play this old rear end MMO. It's good, maybe.

Are you paying via PayPal? It was obnoxious trying to get that to work, so I eventually relented and gave them a CC number and they were able to process that within 10ish minutes.

Nope, using my debit card.

In as ElBrak, decided to play an engineer again cause I hate myself. Went with Omni cause I love licking corporate boots.

God drat is it hard to make money starting out with just the tiny newbie area. the Arete landing starting area did a lot to make it easier to get going.

Are there any guides that are good for RK2019? I haven't played AO in over a decade and I am sort of lost as to what I should be doing.

Also playing Omni since most of you guys are, and I was a dirty clanner for my entire AO career.

https://www.ao-universe.com/ is the best place for guides to the game.

Goon org/channel/discord would be nice. There's several different tiers of game knowledge where AO is concerned. Also a new OP might benefit everyone a bit.

How dare you dis my OP, I spent literal minutes on it.

Hit 20 on my engineer, time to start doing some tradeskilling. Maybe mission roll for some nanos and hit some dynacamps. Really get the full experience.

Hello friend, can you build carbonium armor?

Ya probably, but the cost of the tools is really freaking high for a level 20 engineer. the pattern cutters are like 22k each and you need 6 of them for a full set of armor, but at least they're reusable.

arent the MRRs like 25k/pop or something

the mass relocating robots are way more expensive than that even at ql20 but are reusable, but you can also use a screwdriver instead but it takes way more skill.

I am playing it again right now after taking a few weeks to hype myself up for it by reading ao-universe.com stuff. Still a good game, wish I had stuck to it and followed the leveling of the 2019 server.

Oh yeah, did that graphics update ever release? I vaguely remember hearing it kept getting pushed back. Can’t even remember how long ago it was at this point.

Ya it got released a number of years ago, doesn't work in the steam version though.

The engine update does make the game look nicer, it just crashes sometimes when you use the whompaas.

I guess they figured out a way to bring ARK back with a new name. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zLXZXBKTmhBzvh6S2QY6DY-CrbxsrRQRDI58iBAu35k/edit No idea what they changed!
