    splendid idea, Sill. Just cant wait to hit the road on my new shiny bike. Also changing engine/servers is v.good idea, but IMO its impossible.
    In past AO got some graphic/engine boosts. Some like texture pack works, others, like memory tweak, dont.

    Still, good luck!

    AO already uses the DreamWorld engine, AOC just uses a significantly improved version of it.

    An odd sort of question re: new vehicles ie: Hoverboards and jetbikes, how are you planning on handling these? as actual items in inventory (NODROP ofc) or as summonables (rather like Mechs/turretts are handled)?

    In relation to that you already stated that the content booster packs will be set flags on account and accessable by all characters, are you going to handle the vehicles the same way?

    Impressive Sil, really gotta hand it to you and the fellas for rampin it up.

    A new GFX engine that utilises dx9 gear with backwards compatability would be ideal.

    Gotta say, kudo's on this direction.

    Hope im around to see it

    Clamdigger, have you left the forum long enough to take a look at the concept drawings of the jetbikes??

    1) New servers? Great!

    2) Graphic enginer update? Great!

    3) New items for micro-purchase (compared to having to buy everything)? Great!

    Yes, I mean that on #3. If they are items that can't be used by credit farmers to sell for real cash, even better. It will help stabilize the economy. But please be SURE of 2 things:

    a) That RL credit->cash farmers can not take advantage of it

    b) That the payments, while enough to make it worth FCs while, are small enough that it doesn't alienate players from the poorer real world economies.

    If that's all done, this is some of the best news I've seen posted for AO since beta.

    PS. Thank you for NOT making me pay for a hoverboard, I still have scars from those Back to the Future movies.

    I propose this then, for the sheer realistic humour...

    Make signs in Rome that say "NO SKATING UNDER CORP LAWS"
    And then back it up with tons of graffiti in places that say "Sk8 or DIE"

    That would be amusing.

    itd be great if i could play on my ati radeon card and not have to see stuff like this i can recreate that 99% of the time too, grid to lush hills, zone south, zone back to lush hills and right on the south end of the resort its like that. it even shows up on my pf map (can see in the screen shot)

    i understand that arguement "well you pay for content with new expansions" but theres a flaw in that - when you buy an expansion you buy new *useful* content, if theres an expansion purely composed of social items like new vehicles and clothing thats already in game... whats the point? sil even said theres not going to be items in these booster packs that will enhance game play.

    I saw the boards first, then when I clicked, there they were! As soon as I saw "new vehicles," my first reaction was "Hmmmph, cool snowboard. Way to ignore the motorcycle thread." Then I was wrong! Awesome.

    The bikes look futuristic and are a great way to interpret motorcycles. The boards are awesome too. WTB both.

    Saw both videos too... nice. It would be awesome to preview future content in much the same manner. I'd like to scope out the bikes in a little "here's all of it" video as well.

    6 years... Can I believe I've been here for almost all that time?!

    I wonder how many oldtimers like me are still here, but, for those who are here, I can say these news are probably the best we've heard since... well... since the beginning?!

    Big thanks to you Sil, and to all the devs.

    (And also thanks to all those unknown, anonymous FC's workers playing the mobs for all those years... getting killed all day long is depressing and we are with you guys... now -BANG- play dead again, thanks!)

    Seriously now, I'll second Doctorhyde's remarks here

    This is EXTREMELY important.



    Well /signing up for 6 more years...

    Not to be Miss Bring-down or anything, but does this "optional expansion pack" stuff mean that instead of say, paying $30 for something like Lost Eden we end up paying $60 a year for bi-monthly upgrades?

    Also, with this "Legacy of the Xan" thing - are these SL playfields? What will they add beyond that? And will they be like the almost unplayable, time-devouring mess that Albtraum is? New content is fine, and I'm willing to pay if it's good, but I'm not too jazzed about buying expansions to expansions I already bought.

    Great news about the rendering engine - the game needs it. Are there any plans to make toons more customizable and cute, though? The character creation screen of WoW was the only part of that game I enjoyed when I got a chance to play it.
