With the birth of nano cans, welcome to Anarchy SoloPlay. No need to find other people. There goes all my tips and primary source of income. Thanks for nothing.

[Exodul]

No offence but if tips are your primary source of income,then you're doing something wrong.

[Kuyt]

u are aware that those Nano cans only is bought from Item store ? which makes them handy incase u find yourself playing at like 5am gmt and noone else is on and u need a buff :P it's not meant as a Replacement of interraction, it's just a option to avoid standing around for a hour looking for a buff ..

Altho this is just my 2cts on it.

Tir water looks awesome. Did I mention, that I love Tir?

As it goes for cans - many years ago I have suggested to introduce buff machines. That were times when playerbase was much bigger then it is now. Major reason for my suggestion was incredible priceing for buffs - which - if you twink a lot, may spread to bilions of costs. In fact, it was cheaper to make new buff account, then gather money for buffs. I remember when I was makeing Phionea, it took me straight 80 mils for buffs (be sure to note, that I was putting insane stuff in 2003 and it required few ppl around me all time). Anyways, buffcans (nano cans?) are imho handy thingy for those who want spare their time or some money. As it goes for me, I have 2 buff accounts, so I doubt i will use them

Once again (yes, again) I will pop inconvinient fact, that EURO is 1/3 higher priced then USD. AO aint cheap game in my country, but FC tends to measure USD=EURO. Why, I mean WHY, i need to pay 1/3 more then US users (or players paying with USD?). At this moment I pay 14.95 EURO+ VAT tax (23%), so total costs are 18.3 EURO compareing to 18.3 USD. After recalculating EURO to USD, I am forced to pay 25USD. Kinda expansive game, aint it?

Hmm I have access to a PNY Quadro plex high end graphics work station video deck (4 quadro 6000's video cards slaved together) driving a video wall 3240 x 1920 ( 3 55" displays ) in resolution. I wonder how the new engine would look on that.

For those that are curious what hardware it takes to drive that beast: dual quad core xeon 5570 cpus with 16 GB ram. So please send me a copy of new engine to play with.. Can we say FPS games are well AWESOME!!! I suspect new AO engine would be a a pleasure to see on that setup.

Friend of mine runs a small animation company, I built their workstations, there's 3 Dell U2711 2560x1440 monitors there 7680*1440

@Pomidor aren't you only paying the 15% EU VAT?

[Pomidor]

My bad, Masta, its 15% - - that doesnt cut it anyways, 17,19 EURO still ain't cheap. As I am watching my paymant charts, I have paid 12,95 USD for AO (back in 2003) for few months, then it went to EUROs and I have no idea, why there is such differance. EURO users pay for extra 3 months or so...

yes it's 15% tax, still you end up at 17.98€ (don't nail me on the digits though ) or 24 us-$

edit: right pomidor it's 17,19€ (17,98€ is for GEZ in germany ^_^)

[Mastablasta]

Oh I definitely agree that it's quite expensive and could do with a better pricing point. Was just wondering if you were somehow paying more VAT, or if things had changed O.o

[Pomidor]

noticing that I pay in EUROs since 8/2003, its plain to see that for 8 years I have "bought" more AO months then US buyers. Actually, its more then a year :/

Its important for me now, when i plan to "return" and seeing value of EUR (Which FC have nothing to do with), I am seeking some justice...

[Kazador]

Guys, can you imagine mid ely or ado with that water?? <3

[Pomidor]

Adonis is build on water - that view should blow players minds!

Maybe FC will introduce some swimming transporters, ships to enrich envorioment?

[Mako]

We complain about bugs/mechanics/sploits, get ignored for years.

We complain about water texture and color, gets fixed in less than a week.

Love it.

[Dreamcypher]

are nano cans consumable items or an item with recharge time?

this - anyone?

[Tiralee]

Another question about Nano Cans:

The Neuronal Stimulator nano has a requirement that the target must have SL. I don't see that requirement in the Neuronal Stimulator Nano Can description. Does that mean that the Nano Cans do not have expansion requirements, even if the actual nanos do?

[vallikat]

BTW, now that I'm home and on a better monitor where I can truly appreciate it, I must say bravo on the water! It looks SO much better than last week!

[Lazy]

[Solstiare]

The shop buyable items have 2, 5 or 10 charges. They are pretty cheap (300 Paidpoints for a 10x)
