Magic 8 Ball - AO's 2nd birthday(Future)

[Kithraks]

This is just a fun thread for off the wall predictions on what you think AO will be like on its second birthday next year, June 2003. Anything goes, in-game story arc to game mechanics. Might as well have some fun. Who knows, one of our predictions might auctually come true.

Here I go. In case anyone thinks this is real, its not. Its fiction!

The expansion pack Shadowlands was a flop because they were not able to finish the floating city of Jobe in time despite its delay to early 2003. However, plans are in place for a booster pack when the city is finally finished. Expect to see it ready for the holidays 2003.

In light of Everquest's RTS spinoff success the second expansion pack has been announced. Dubbed, Anarchy Online: Commanders it will be the first MMORPG to integrate an RTS in real time. The press release quotes "We will allow the player to assume command of vast numbers of units to take the war between Omni-Tek and the Clans to a scale never seen before." However, they refuse to comment on what will happen to the regular players that might lag out or crash from the graphical overload on their non-Commander clients.

The story has taken a major twist when the events team finally allowed the players to affect the outcome for the first time in two years. Henry Radimant has been killed pernamently while giving a speech during the reopening ceremony of the Council of Truth's building in Tir by an Omni agent useing an illegal permakill weapon. In the ultimate show of irony, the agent immediately committed suicide to escape and be resurrected back in Omni terrority.

In retaliation, a millitant clan called "Sons of Da Leet" broke into the Omni-Administration building in Omni-HQ and kidnapped Phillip Ross. Currently, there are no plans from any of the player run departments within Omni-Tek to rescue the leader. "Hey, he was never there for me. Why should I bother to rescue him?" The words of an apathetic Omni organization leader summarized the general attitude towards Mr. Ross. This was after his inactivity despite the clans controling over 90% of the terraformed regions on Rubi-Ka, 2 days after the land control "booster pack" was released. They have been ever since.

What do you think the future holds for AO?
