    17.2 expectations

    So, my estimate is 2 months. What do you think?

    Removed several posts, please keep it constructive folks and drop the flaming.

    17.2 will depend on the release of 17.1 and how many follow up updates we do in 17.1.x, but we hope to be able to release 17.2 within 4-5 weeks of 17.1

    but I do like this:

    Coder - Rendering - Anarchy Online
    The Anarchy Online team is in need of an experienced rendering programmer.
    The work will include core work in the rendering sub-system, making sure the
    game runs on all supported hardware, and utilising newer hardware features
    when available.


    Is that a hint that there is an updated graphics engine for AO on the way?

    I believe Sil said a while back that a new graphics engine is really not possible for various reasons.

    well not possible is different from not practicle..

    it will cost to much money and time for FC to think about it..
    maybe there will be a AO2.. can't say i'll play it though.. as much grinding as there is in AO1 i'd need some kind of transfer or something.. starting from scratch does'nt sound like fun to me, but if there was a AO2 it would probably be to different to actually convert your old account, items, charactors to the new system.

    we wont see a graphics update on any large scale for the rest of the games life.. honestly graphics wise AO is fine for me.. the graphics are'nt that bad and its' actually the last thing i look for in a game.. other wise we would have never bought, played, and enjoyed pong or any game since then.. graphics of the top games today will look like **** in 10 years.. but that does'nt diminsh the enjoyment we did and can get from them..

    now on the other hand if it would help preformance im all for it because the requirements on the website are a joke..

    What are the minimum system requirements to play Anarchy-Online:

    Minimum

    Windows 98/ME/2000 SP1+2/XP Pentium II 300 128MB RAM 2X CD-ROM drive DirectX 3D 8Mb video card DirectX compatible sound device 700MB free hard drive space Internet connection, 28.8K Modem

    Recommended

    Pentium II 450 256 Mb RAM 3D card with 32MB RAM, DirectX 8X CD-ROM drive 1GB free hard drive space Internet connection, 56K Modem
    game develpers always lie about the sys requirements.. but this really takes the cake.

    coders aren't the only bottleneck to getting patches out. Developing content is an extremely time consuming process and requires lots of testing, even if there are no code changes what so ever.
