    I'm not sure if that means that the whole Phasefront platform in Newland Lake will be gone. If so, will Toni Akseli be moved somewhere else (Westerlund Loungemaster, preorder item, Hover Chair)? Or will the Hover Chair be available in the Item Store's Claim tab, same as other preorder or order bonus items?

    Arise, Sir Edvvin.

    What a wonderful, emotional, heartfelt, warming, sincere, and achingly-honest post by you, Edvvin. This post probably sums up what most of the players of this game really feel about it.

    Everyone behind the scenes should read it. Put yourselves in this guys shoes. Feel his pain, respect his feelings, and deliver ( Although, having said that, it seems you're all beavering away in the background ).

    +10 internetz to you, Sir Edvvin.

    +1 from me also for Edvvin.

    It was 11 years and 6 months ago when I first logged into AO. Nanomage Melee Adventurer, totally gimped... But it was a great time, seeing all these people in Newland City every day. Or the Neutral starter zone (a.k.a. Neutral Backyard)... I was there for 2 weeks. This place felt damn huge and it's still my favorite AO starter zone. But what really hooked me about AO was how it just threw you into the world. I felt lost and I had to learn everything from ground up, by myself. There are only 2 games which went into a similar direction. One is TSW, even if it shows some of it's mechanics in tutorial videos and everything, the other one is EVE Online. If AO threw you into into it's world, slapped you into the face and left you, EVE nearly kills you and leaves you to die in open space. Most other MMO's I've tried (especially WoW) were more... Let me say, starting in WoW felt like this and the following strips:

    AO felt like this (from the Goblin's POV):
    http://www.goblinscomic.com/10192010-2/

    And this is the reason why AO hooked me for such a long time.

    Btw, I wore an Evangeline Terigena Webcloak for 3 months or something, ever wondering how I could switch on this cool effect blueish skin. Then I found out: This cool armor is called grid armor and Adventurers can't wear it. But until today, I have an Evangeline Terigena Webcloak on my bank and all my EVE characters have Terigena as their surname.

    After that all I saw was people praising it. So I went back and read it.

    Really great stuff, I have had a similar experience and I maintain a similar relationship with AO.

Give us the worldwide city plots back. It's a novelty? Maybe. But it's part of what has made the game (see the beginning of the tale) for me and so many others. It's just what AO is.
    I really don't care about what mattered to you personally because it's going to be different for each person. The hook that grabs someone else is not going to be the same as your own, you can't grasp onto features for nostalgia's sake alone.

    Like for example, I'd absolutely hate to see cities back. It completely ruins the scenery that is AO for me, and I love it so much better now than how it was, and bringing them back for a novelty just doesn't make much sense to me.

    Sorry I didn't much care for the story, not trying to be offensive or anything.

    Yeah, this.

    On my first toon (agent) I used solar-powered rifle until level 50+ and didn't know how to as. when people saw me fighting with my hands against cultists (as a desperate measure from my part) they bought stuff to me and things.

    While I do understand and respect your opinion, I don't understand how does the current situation make more sense than pre-merge with org cities? Paved streets and cleanly cut grass in the middle of nowhere? It may be a step in the right direction (not sure about that, but it may), however current status of RK is waaaaaay worse than pre-AI.

    As you immerse yourself into the game exploring the wilderness far away from populated cities, you find remains of old Org cities that used to be there. You scratch your head wondering: "How come no-one told the groundskeeper that we have abandoned those cities?"

    Pretty sure they mentioned they'd be removing those at a later date.

    As others have mentioned, great post!

    I honestly feel like this may have been the best post I have ever read. Thanks!

    I don't think they ever comfirmed what they were going to do with the empty plots after merge. There was talk of removing them completely but there was also talk of them being used again as outdoor cities again later. AFAIK, they never said what exactly was going to happen to them

    Why would they ever care about prioritizing removing them considering the first priority is development of the game in the new engine.

    You would think that they have the old world on a hard drive somewhere.


    If not, one of us old-timers could send an .iso of a pre-AI install disc
