I have made more twinks then any FC employe can imagine.
I made more freak twinks, that any AO player can imagine.
I paid 2900 USD for this, and I doubt any regular player can imagine.
I won duels, that some can't imagine. - That cost me over 9000 hours of play.
and all this to discover that FC lies, beyond anyone could imagine.

So sad, sad, saaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Dear FC - you dont have NEW engine, YOu have engine that doesnt fit graphis you pposses :/

This is a engine upgrade, not graphics. There is a difference. From what I understand though once the new one is in place it opens them up to more possibilities for further upgrades and not just from our dev team, but any of the FC devs can then work on it.

[Tryptophy]

Yes, basically when/if they design new areas they will be able to use much higher poly counts and better textures and effects without destroying frame rates. They might spend a little time facelifting older areas but they probably have an expansion in mind if they can get enough revenue from resubs when the engine/NPE/Steam launch happens.

Not to nitpick, but the engine upgrade, is indeed a graphics engine upgrade, current AO runs on dx7
new engine on dx9, this means that new effects will be ingame, such as new lighting, shadows, grass, water etc.
some new assets will be introduced aswell like the npe, but for the most part, from what I gather, trying to replace all the textures ingame is not an option until after release, when they can roll stuff like that out in incremental updates. that is, if they think it's cost effective I would imagine.

Yes you are correct. There are some new features that come with it being on the higher DX version. I was meaning over all. I think some people are under the impression that this is a complete graphical overhaul. Aside from the new assets in the NPE as mentioned, its not going to start out that way.

Though after this many years, it should be.

ohya?

How many twinks have you made?

Lets have a epeen contest. I bet you 7 forum epeen points I made more twinks than you.

You go first... I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I have, but, I'm willing to have a go.

Lol why did you make all those twinks and spend all this time on the game with the current engine if you are so worried about the new one

The new engine isnt going to change PvP

[Gargle]

So what's the ETA of the new engine and NPE going live?

[Gimpynoob]

yes, basically when/if they design new areas they will be able to use much higher poly counts and better textures and effects without destroying frame rates. They might spend a little time facelifting older areas but they probably have an expansion in mind if they can get enough revenue from resubs when the engine/npe/steam launch happens.

Bwahahahahahahaha...ha.

Well the next monthly update is from Genele so it'll probably make more sense.

I doubt it
[Anarina please do not ban me, I love women ...]
Problem started with Lindelu and now Genele as they are both from Wenus and not from Mars.

They believe what they write and they feel what should be done ... but life is brutal and instead of believing and feeling we need thinking and actions.

Monthly development letter will be full of I believe bla bla bla, I hope bla bla bla, Cross your fingers bla bla bla, coming soon bla bla bla etc.

I am flabbergasted by this comment and as a man I am extremely offended. Comments like this have no place in this forum.

[Awikun]

If I offended you or anybody else then I am sorry because that was not my intention.

Lets wait and see how many facts and things achieveed will be described in new monthly letter.

[Pafpuf]

Your comment wasn't offensive, just really stupid.

Wow Awi.

Lindelu got a lot of things fixed during her time and Genele's posts have not been what you described. I can't understand how you somehow turned communication issues that have been around for the entire history of the game (which was primarily under male leadership and still is) into a gender problem.

Guess we all know your take on women now. To any effect I'm not offended. The ignorance in your statement speaks for itself and honestly it makes some past situations make a lot more sense.
