    NPE selection/museum of ao greatness.

    Excited about the NPE and other changes. But I'm going to miss n00b island and Seascape
    (best part of the ao soundtrack) terribly. I mean it. I'd like to be able to select which new
    character experience to play when starting a new char. Sort of a live, functional museum
    of some of the great things that used to be. The excitement and anticipation that running
    around on n00b island to the sound of Seascape makes me feel, even if I know I won't be
    levelling this char past subway at the most, has me starting new chars quite often, just for
    that experience.

    Children arrive when they feel like it, I expect it hadn't read the memo on the AO newsletter deadline. Kids today, eh!?

    Thanks for filling in Genele, am intrigued by the neutral city changes.

    I do apologise for that, but TSW and AoC need to be done first because they go to translation, whereas AO doesn't get translated.

    The baby came with the AO one half written on my hard drive and to be fair I was still two days ahead of the "end of May" deadline (though Genele covered all the points I had anyway - plus she has better insight into the status of the NPE than I do.)

    I read the same things for years, thousands of questions and no answer ever, The new engine will remain a vaporware untill we can't see anything concrete about that, and I do not mean like render video or useless screenshots, you keep us tied to the game with this "dream" since 2007, the only thing you have done in recent years has been to destroy what this game had good, Like S10 for example, a ...."tradiction" carried out since there was destroyed for whatever reason, now s10 is useless and depopulated, although virtually everyone complained, you're screwed there, continuing on your way pretending that our thoughts counted for nothing..........I play this game from the closed beta, 13 years, 13 years of sweat and glory, destroyed in a few moments, and come here to speak of the new engine...again....., where we could go, with a best graphics, in S10 (ever for example)

    So now, after tsw release u have an important decision to make, to resurrect this fantastic game with a new engine, or close all, bye bye and never more bull****s

    Well, he *is* in Theater of Tragedy.

    I don't mean to come across as anglocentric, but I didn't notice until just now that Waldgeist had stopped translating update posts into German about a year ago. Though I find it curious that he/she was responsible for AO, AoC, and TSW, and yet those still get translated. Curiouser and curiouser.

    Seriously guys, get a grip, we're at the bottom of the totempole and it won't change so who cares :P In fact, on the things that's getting mentioned in this months update I'd rather have Genele update us, no disrespect Joel

    genele is the game director, not the lame-o he's making excuses for.


    edit : also i have nothing against people wanting to spend time with their families, i don't think that should be a crime especially if the person in question is having a baby being delivered soonish. but lets review the new guys track record already.


    1. Guy comes on to the forums, says hello this is what i will be doing etc etc.
    2. Guy makes no additional posts or appearances for awhile.
    3. March month comes and goes without a update letter. One of the other funcom employees makes an excuse on his behalf to mind his absence.
    4. Someone on the forums reveals he has time to write things for the other games, just simply left AO out.
    5. Throughout various interviews over the 60 day course he's gotten his promotion, there is almost zero mention of AO in any of them. The few details revealed by him have shown to be minimal at best signalling a lack of interest in 1/3'rd of his projects that he gets paid to maintain.
    6. Posts a community letter which says basically nothing. Makes a comment about hecklers, the post isn't even formatted with any kind of spacing or bold or anything. Total waste of time.
    7. guy misses another community letter although having yet again addressed the other 2 games personally and forgetting AO again. The game director makes an excuse on his behalf a second time and the guy has the time to come on here and explain himself, rather than just writing out 2 paragraphs (if he was actually half-way finished the post as he claims) and avoiding looking like a slob all together.



    i for one, welcome our new lazy overlords.

    we might be at the bottom of the totem pole but we're still funcoms most profitable game. there is likely zero or near zero upcost for the ancient servers needed to run this game. we pay subscriptions worthy of a premium MMO experience, European people get even more screwed especially.

    we pay out the butt. we deserve a few lines of text telling us how things are going on a regular basis. I'm likely not renewing next cycle despite having had a refreshing experience and high hopes for the games future with the server merge unless Joel gets his act together and at least convinces us that funcom cares at all about AO (even if it isnt true). If their newest shining star doesn't care about the game, likely the company doesn't either and everything we're seeing here may as well remain vaporware.

    so all in all it's a fairly viable setup

    Not sure which you are speaking of when talking about celebrations? I see the words Celebration and of course I see this as Parties and we hope to have information out on that soon, like before the end of next week. On the stuff covered by Genele well I can't really speak for those.

    As for when 18.7 will be released I'm sure they'll tell us all when they are ready since they will want players to test it for them before it is deployed to Live.

    If you do that, you don't deserve towers in the first place.
    You do realize its not "4 in the morning" for everyone at the same time, right? You do understand this is a global game, right?

    For me, you and your kind are the "no lifers" waking up at "my" 4 in the morning to move site timers so that people in my time zone can't attack them.

    You are getting a few lines of text telling you how it's going, it's just not by the overseer of all three projects this very month because of his other obligations, I was answering the people that were raging at Joel because he wrote some monthly update for TSW and AoC but not AO.

    If you are gonna state that AO is funcom's most profitable game, I really hope you are gonna show to some actual facts other than: "We are paying alot"

    "You will start out having snuck on to a cargo shuttle from the morning star space station with nothing but some basic equipment and your mission will be to obtain the proper identification for entering ICC HQ. "

    Any one storyline for new players will seem synthetic and grow old fast. The one that got all the long term players into this game didn't pretend we were any one thing. We were colonists who had to make our reputations. That was credible. A single arrival story, no matter how humble, is not credible.

    really? you write without read?

    i wrote twice "for example S10", S10 is an EXAMPLE, S10 is a content ruined, deleted, useless, created and now left empty.
    how could happened to S10 will happen to other things, and as you probably happen to other contents
    stop reading the lines and focus on the context

    Where would the underground betting part of the storyline be then ? I very much disapprove, even tho storyline might not be the most important part of the game, the run from Grid exit to John Smith is hardly something that validates erasing the storyline part of this exact daily.
