    Well considering it looks like it mostly will be social stuff you will probably only want to have them on one account, sil said about every 3 months on the time frame.. And remember, you will only need to pay for what ya want... and considering that like the PFs are mostly story stuff you will probably only need em on 1 account to begin with and then just buy the PF ya want/need for your other account.. (I´m guessing you will be able to buy the 5 PFs individually just as the jet bikes..) etc... Remember you most likely wont NEED any of it and if you do.. well then you can just be happy that you don't have to pay for a full expansion on all of your accounts but just like 3 bucks on each on one of them to get what ya want..

    can i have old servers please?

    seriously.

    when do you guys plan to introduce engine updates?

    are you going to go for 9 or 8 DirectX(going 10 is just stupid imo. forcing install if new MS crap, yeah i live in russia so idc for those insane prices for OS but still)

    well summary. can we have more detailed information? videos with bikes and hoovers is cool, but it's just a small part. wtb development screenies to increase ppl interests and maybe receive some constructive critics.

    booster pack - large
    Minor amount of various contents: Single new game area, maybe weapons, maybe objects, and/or an extended storyline to a complete and already released game.
    Price: Reduced price, example 20$
    Example
    LE(as many thinks)

    You forget NW in that.

    Considering you have 3 accounts, FC sees you as 3 different people so paying for an expansion on all of your account should be expected.

    As far as I see paying RL money for IG stuff... Its like pay for this or the game wont pay for its self and we'll have to close it down. (tho thats an extreme situation)

    When I started reading this thread, I had many many questions. Before asking them, I took the time to read the thread and found many players had already voices my concerns and questions, and Sil had answered them.

    Just one remains.

    Can a froob buy the bikes/boards minibooster, and remain a froob?

    After reading the press release with a rough pricing point, that alone has convinced me to be one of the cool early adopters and get me some hoverbike action on my signature account. And with a single bike being just a couple of bucks, It'd be neato for all our bankies to have that little extra bit of personalisation. What can you buy these days for a couple of bucks? Bottle of coke at the local servo, or the latest and greatest in technology direct from the year 29482. Or whatever year it is on AO.

    I hope they are retroactive, because otherwise I will have to change subscription plan to 1 month recuring untill the pack is released, and then back to 12 month as I got now...

    Reading that answered all my questions.

    Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this:

    1. Paying customers will eventually be able to buy a bike/board without spending additional money, due to the points accumulating every month. Depending on retroactivity, possibly immediately.

    2. Items will be account-wide, or at least purchaseable from an ingame terminal with points that are account-wide.

    3. Regardless of point totals, you can get the complete bike set for $10.

    4. In addition to saving money by pricing alone, current subscribers are being encouraged to bump up to the 6 or 12 month subscriptions by additional "expansion points."

    5. This is being viewed as a starting point, and additional "Nouveau-Veteran" items will follow pending this venture's success. (TM on the Nouveau-Veteran, btw... wts for 1b creds pst)

    6. Detractors who dislike item sale must respect the fact that the business press release (not just a forum post) includes FC's promise not to affect gameplay with sold items. They've respected it with vet items, so why not trust them on it?

    So... I can't see anything but upside here. This looks like a fantastic plan.

    Thumbs up

    Happy Birthday AO! W00t! Six more Years Six more years!

    1) Server enviroment upgrade...Big Thumbs up. I'm sure there are those who are playing in an enviroment where if they had a direct connection to the hamsters brains it would make no difference to them. But for the rest of us who see changes when improvements are made are very happy to see more upgrades. Especially one on so massive a scale. One suggestion...move the forums first (and stock up on the liquor)...because once the servers go down and the AO withdraw starts to kick in, the forums will be pounded...hard and non-stop. Threads will reach hundreds of pages. Fans will rant and rave that they could do the same thing in 20 mins instead of 2 days. Others will rave that they'd rather play on the old servers than wait 48 hours for new ones to work. AO withdrawl can be pretty scary when its just 8-10 hours, a few may go into seizures and collaspe with a 48 hour downtime. I'd almost recommend not looking at any thread longer than a page because its just going to get ugly when 90% of the players suddenly sign up and spew forth withdrawl induced venom. Stay strong.

    2) Rendering engine upgrade to DX9 (ignore that abomination known as DX8 please)....Wow. Just... wow. Legions of AO fans have been dreaming of this. I'm going to resist the urge to get into the performance vs. pretties debate and simply say THANK YOU!

    3) Hyped up dev cycles...Love'em. Can barely keep up with em but love'em still. I did the recent quests specifically for the backstory info and I don't even RP. Granted finding a team for team-only areas can be a challenge. If the bosses are exceptionally evil people tend to focus on certain professions for that zone and then lock out all the other profs.

    4) Booster packs. All for it. a) vehicles? nice concept. Can we have no skate zones where guards will chase people on thier boards and knock them off if they catch them? Same thing in SL when something aggros and smacks them have a nice animation of them falling off the board and doing a faceplant b) Legacy of the Xan. W00t more content and backstory. I can't wait to see how this turns out. When coming up with launch dates just don't go head to head vs. AoC pls.

    5) Account services: a) Name changes, and character transfers (yes) b) purchasing previous pre-order only stuff (50/50, I guess its good for the newcomers) c) purchase points (as long as its social items, sure) d) purchase points becoming vet points...(grr let them earn it the old fashioned way, buy a 5 year subscription )

    6) Don't merge the servers. We don't want those smelly dirty creditbeggers from Atlantean all over our nice clean Rimor landscape, it will drive our property values down.

    7) Can you open up a Casino in omni-ent? Oh and can you do something with all that empty space in Jobe?

    8) Things overall are going in a positive direction and after reading through it all and seeing all the new upcoming funnage, I can only come up with one conclusion:

    You guys really don't want me to retire do you?
    Sometimes, you just have to charge in with both hands blazing and hope they drop before you do.

    I won't join your org, but I may join your cause...for a price
    .

    All must bow before receiving my blessings

    my understanding of information between press release and original post on these forums is that non-subscribed players (froobs) will be able to purchase at least some of the new items.
    This will however require that you have billing information added to your account on main website, as points will be purchased from there.
    That of course brings up another point,...... you will not be automatically switched to a subscription status but would you still be a "Froob" when you are paying for "some content"?
    Only through the exercise of free will can the soul grow; only through courage in the face of temptation and pain can the spirit soar.

    I respectfully request you move the Omni-gaurds from the bori dish as that is the only respectible place for us to board on with the proper curves as a half pipe has.

    Happy Birthday Anarchy Online!!! been here since the begining and all you have done since 12.6 is go up and up and up (with a few hicups here and there) in product value for the money.

    While I am glad you are planning to upgrade the game engine I have never had a problem with the current one. Good to know it will be better some how.

    The content packs or booster packs is an awsome Idea. NW as a booster gave me one thing I really wanted new Yalms, but it took me forever to get one of the new models because they were so high end.

    I look forward to experiencing the new playfieds in about two years when I have a toon high enough to play in them (can you believe, a 6 year vet, with the vet points to prove it doesn't have a 200+ toon yet? ) I like the fact that I can now get the content I want (hoover board and bikes) when I can enjoy it, and wait till I am able to enjoy the new play fields before I have to pay for it!

    my 2cents, about new graphic engine

    Sil,

    I really want to thank you and devs for your work with AO

    ... this, in particular, is what I really wanted to see in game!

    Talking of "new graphic engine", I just wish to remind something I throw in game suggestions folder, some time ago:

    I wonder if it can help dev's work, and maybe *sighs* improve AO graphic engine...
    ... hope this will be of help for your work with AO graphic engine

    How long do you have to play before you get a leet key? a Jobe Lux apartment? a Yalm?

    Just wondering how much play time it takes to get those items.
