    Tip #743: As noted in Tip #244, tea bags have an infinite variety of uses. However, there's always one jerk who will want to give you crap over drinking tea. Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.

    Hey that's great!

    AO beat out 172 other titles! That's pretty impressive.

    Yeah... titles that isnt really qualified as a MMO (LoL)

    Hyimoliver 220 Soldier

    MMO = Massive Multiplayer Online
    RPG = Roleplaying Game

    AO = MMORPG - Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game
    LoL = MMO of another description - part of the MOBA subset of games (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena)

    Hence it follows that;
    LoL = MMO =/= MMO RPG

    MMO Hall of Fame =/= MMO RPG Hall of Fame

    BUT!

    MMO RPG Hall of Fame could entirely be a subset of MMO Hall of Fame.

    All MMO requires is 'Massive, Multiplayer and Online"

    (To clarify, I hate LoL, but it is qualified to be in the "MMO Hall of Fame". Note: I'm a pedant)

    I honestly thought it was going to be some sort of award for having the longest engine development cycle or some sort of vapor ware award.

    Well based on my gaming carrer of now spanning 23 years.... AO is clear #1 in gametime, rewarding to play, friends made ingame, community of still playing dewds and best timeless design.

    When I play games from 2001 it shows AO quality, and even by todays standarda no game can capture my gametime better.

    Respectful entrant for hall of fame then.

    MOP has done some more AO articles over the last few months (most recent at the top):-

    AO gets a mention in an Xmas guide for Funcom fans: http://massivelyop.com/2015/12/10/ma...nd-funcom-fan/

    Small article about this year's Xmas stuff: http://massivelyop.com/2015/12/09/he...ave-christmas/

    Best Game soundtracks article ranks AO's soundtrack #16: http://massivelyop.com/2015/09/29/ju...o-soundtracks/

    Long article all about AO's history: http://massivelyop.com/2015/09/19/th...narchy-online/

    Then there's the earlier articles which I think have been linked around in other threads already such as the new website one, the new engine beta launch one, the 18.7 patch one etc.

    Not bad going tbh. AO gets more coverage on MOP than some other bigger games...

    A choice quote from that article:

    The game arrived on Steam a few years ago, boosting its population
