    Firstly good luck Lindelu you was steering the sinking ship to shore.

    I have been playing AO since 2004, I think this is one of the best MMO's out there, and ive tried a few.

    What is happening with AO, does anyone know how many of the team are left, will a different person be leaving next week, will the server merge/engine/reballance ever really happen.

    I wish someone in FC would just be honest with the community, im sure we can handle it, however bad the news is.

    Sorry for rant, just annoys me.
    I suggest you check out other posts in the community corner section to find partial answers to your questions. And tbh, I feel the AO team hasn't ever been more honest with the community than now.

    Yes but tbh, how many times have they said everything is ok, then just to find a week or two later half the team are leaving.

    Also the engine/reballace how long has that pipe dream been going on for, with endless promises.

    I am curious how may staff member will actually be working on AO, after eveyone thats leaving has gone.

    I am just sad that all the people that have the vision and drive to are slowly leaving.

    I doubt Yakomo is coming back to AO as part of the team, I think he still plays AO tho.

    I really doubt AO will make it to 2013 , have fun while you can!

    TSW is a failure , AoC still a failure and the only game that worth something they dont care.

    The last player will shutdown the server.

    So is there any kind of *REALISTIC plan to remedy the current situation in AO?

    Even 215+ bs runs only sporadically. Lft is sometimes completely empty. There are maybe 2-3 orgs that can be considered as healthy on rk1. The rest are retirement orgs. Why should we keep paying dearly for this each month? Tell us there is some sort of direction at least. Not just assurances that you are working on something on which you can't even say when it will be released.

    What will you do to increase the population in the short term? Because at least for many of us that's what's needed if we are going to keep paying.

    Thanks in advance.

    *As in something you KNOW you can do within a time frame that is not unknown.

    They didn't sack the GD in order to save money in 2001, did they?

    I don't think she was sacked Noobius76, she left of her own accord to be with her family back in her home country - as she hinted at - she only intended on being GD for the short term to see if she could make it work, and she did a mighty good job in her temporary role!

    I had a good feeling with you at the wheel Fia. AO seemed to move on in the right direction.

    agree with Bainzy - good job for that short time, would have loved to see more of it in future : (

    Love,
    Fia
    I don't think we can expect them to be any clearer than that.

    i believe the correct term is her and kintaii were "restructured"

    I believe the correct term these days is they were "downsized"

    well IIRC there are about a dozen full time staff for AO, with some sharing of otherbstaff with other projects. So I guess with two leaving we now have a team of ten? certainly not 'half' the team have left!

    No, far worse than that. You can google it since you don't seem to have been there to experience it.
