    Sci-Fi offering is quite dry... But all the other MMORPGS are so simple(not EVE, but it's better red then played...)

    I like how they had to include Lego Universe and Pirates of the Burning Sea to make 10 non-fantasy MMOs
    bai2u!

    Electronite: FFA also destroyed Clan hegemony when it comes to tower wars. Ironically the downfall was started by the most active pvpers. Another ironic thing is that the downfall happened due to pvm conflict. Silirrion: (We have pretty good anti-troll filters by now though) Means: Thong-wearing troxes will always be a part of this game and a point of AO pride. Keldros: Obviously reall trolls don't use conditioner Marlark: If this forum was Swedish in it's language .. id pawn you any day. 220 NT: tl7 is a joke most of the time. 90% of the people are double double dead. some are worth debuffing tho. Mastablasta: you guys are right and I'm wrong. Ebag: No. You alpha me'd due to the stat bug. More Ebag: I don't have any twinks currently, nor do I participate much in mass TL7 PvP (though I do go occasionally, usually just to watch). Questra: an MP in sneak eNSDed me and did about 20k damage in 10-12 seconds

    The comments in the article seem at least positive about the game, though. Lot of people want to see it get its second heyday.

    Other than a select few pet peeves the graphics in AO were never a make or break element for me. That said, please someone animate a female toon that can carry a two-handed ranged weapon and still run without appearing to fall over, endure a broken pelvis, and have her arms disappear into thin wisps of nothing. Please.

    I remember back in the day when I had an Atari2600 and then the Intellivision came out and thought to myself "HOW AWSOME ARE THOSE INTELLIVISION GRAPHICS". Well 10 or more MMORPGS later and AO really dose look like an Atari2600 game .

    I never thought I'd die like this. But I always really hoped. --Fry
    Now, one of the reasons we’ve spent the last month arguing about the debt ceiling is that half of the "teabag" Congress signed a vow to never raise taxes. Someone just handed them something and it wasn’t a gun, a crucifix or a fetus — so they signed it. Why? "Because we’re rugged individuals who love freedom. Now excuse us while we sign this document swearing to do as we’re told." --Bill Maher

    Hmmm AO on an Atari 2600.. It would have looked awesome!!..

    Proof.. scaled screenshot and reduced palette to 16 colors.. (even though the Atari 2600 could only show 4 at a time)



    lol, Cheers!

    Four colors? Luxury! Why in my day we had two colors, black and white and if you were lucky and squinted your eyes just right you could sort of see both at the same time!

    Never like the black and white. I had a monitor with a button, "Black & White", "Black and Green" and "Black and Amber". That was a cool monitor, for its time.

    I saw the top 10 list.... really the worst list ever. I'm not really proud to see AO on that list...

    I only agree with like 3 of the 10.

    I guess some people still don't know that mmorpg.com is mostly social hacked, with fake ratings...

    No MMORPG has the complexity in game play and avatar development of AO .... Yes the graphics are horrible but if you can get past that its hands down the best MMORPG out there.

    Every other game out there is dumbed down for the five year old. This is where the Adults and near Adults ...or even the Adults that barley act like Adults do battle .

    If you can stomach some heinously dated visuals, AO is still one of the best sci-fi offerings on the market.

    The 2012 list may AO bring to place #1.
    After the engine upgrade, AO is still the best sci-fi offering on the market.

    What we read recently in Fw(o)M, they gonna go that "dumb down" way.
    No Maps needed, that was what i remember, so we wont have a map shop anymore, no skills to upload these maps are needed, no upgrades are needed and in general, mapnavi skill is obsolete.

    Let me clearly say, I DO NOT LIKE THAT WAY !

    Flatten or dumb'n AO = wrong

    Give out some extra IP for every Profession.
    We got so many new things, weapons, options, but we never got more IP, except from the Shadowlands expansion.

    It felt all the years like we are 5% ImprovementPoints short.
