Keep in mind: My posts are my own personal views and thoughts.
FC would be a great investment for a hostile takeover. Even a novice manager of a mcdonalds could do more with this company.
I am extremely glad I canceled my acct(s) 6 months ago. Saving me $59.60/mth. I knew the new engine would never come. Its just a leash. You can't sit there and tell me that you all are trying to finish an engine/updates when FC has created two new games within past year.
You all are seriously pathetic to keep leashing these players on. AO was the best mmo i've ever played and anyone that has played it would say the same thing.
But you will never resurrect the game back to what it was for the simple fact you have lied to many times to your customers... Hell you lost 50% population when you released AI that came with a bunch of nerfs.
Sad to see this game go. Ill miss it for sure.
P.S. - Funcom, your welcome for the 3500$ i've payed you all over the past 9 years that I did play.

Well anything above 50% would be a majority stake. Of course what you'd be looking for is at least a 66% stake to push anything through unimpeded.
I bet you could hit the FTC up and see how many shares of FC are public.

As fun of an idea as that is, Funcom still has a market capitalization of $20.58 million. Unless AO players are a very wealthy bunch, 51% of that isn't too realistic.
I'm sure that whoever ends up owning the rights to FC's games and other IP won't want anywhere near that much for it.
drop the price of the game to 7$ a month and people will come back even without new graphics.
Get the game on steam and price the full access at $7
Sorry to say but people won't come back. Its past the point of old players logging back in after a few yrs and seeing if the games progressed at all in population. They see none, they log right off. People have been lied to much and are fed up with it and i don't blame them.
15$/mth for a game that can't hold up to its word. (Emphasize if you wish)

I did not notice a comment regarding steam from the op. did i miss something about it in a recent thread / post. if not, it would be nice to know steam progress.

I feel this thread is serving as a good symbol of how Funcom's Anarchy Online players are finally starting to realize the bull**** that's been fed to them over the years and are becoming less willing to keep forking over their cash.
Funcom, you should be reading this thread.
Fellow AO fans, thank you for keeping your posts full of passion but civil.
AO is my favourite game. I've been paying for this game for a decade or more and still love it but I've never liked Funcom. Every direct contact I've ever had with them has been soured by their bad attitude towards their customers.
I'm happy to passively wait to see if any new stuff arrives, I don't really believe it will. Last year I was still positive but no longer.
What galls me is that this good game is suffering whilst AOC and TSW are being worked on. Both those games look great but have little or no game beneath the gloss. Such a shame.
maybe the best thing for AO is to fail, and shutdown.
then we would maybe get to see FC stand up and make an Anarchy Online 2.
One that will include space flight, and combat also and mining
Lets call it Anarchy Online Eve how freaking cool could that be?
Hmm, whenever i met someone from staff, they showed a complete different picture.
I NEVER had any trouble with support, ARKs, GMs or with the developers on testlive.
Everyone directly involved with AO was superfriendly.
It comes down to 2 things, that i see completely failed at FC as there is 1st and for many many years already the worse advertisment and marketing. Im sitting in the center of Europe and i should be nailed with Advertisements. Well, with TSW they made it somewhat better.
The second thing is the management.
By totally turning into a corporation since some years, playerdemands seem to be a lower priority for AnarchyOnline, but what do we know for real ? .. Nada, we just know nothing.
What we know is, what only a couple people really understand.
Do it - go out and replace the complete core technix of a running online monster like this.
I understand a bit programming and i see what they do and i know it is TOTALLY CRAZY SHYTE what they wanna reach and hell, they are close already ... but i have absolutely no clue about management.
Thats the finacial world order.
Theres a new movie on youtube, so if you are still a sheeple and can eat the truth, youtube "Thrive", "The Corporation", "Money as dept" and you understand somewhat of the marketing mechanism on this world.
Better i stay on programming ^^
