Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of the fantasy genre too and there are some excellent stories that mix different genera, but a lion is a lion, an eagle an eagle and a mixture of both a chimera.

I thought the entire point of AO was that its so absurdly far in the future that the science has a closer resemblance to magic then it does to our current tech?

And then you have the Xan that were so much further ahead of that when they went extinct eons before.

PS: any radical change to an omni city is welcome, they are the worst lay out EVHAR!

I guess you never lived in Omni Trade :(

It's funny you Neuts think Bor is and was a Neutral city. Omni-Tek owned Borealis and now the ICC do. The ICC are not the same Neutrals as you guys. The ICC is made up of hyper corporations (a large part being filled by Omni-Tek, whilst the Neutrals of Rubi-Ka have no presence in the ICC).

Newland is your main Neutral city, and houses the only legitamate Neutral government - you should care what happens there, not in a Omni/ICC city ;)

City? More like a large outpost... Town even...

Omni-Tek also "owned" Rubi-Ka. Do clans not have territory in your book?

They do, and that's shown in the story. At no point did the neutrals ever take Borealis from
Omni-Tek. Neutral squatters set in when Omni-Tek originally abandoned the city, but then Omni took
It back and Administrator Lonare ran the city .

Too many fixers ingame, now too many fixers on the forums. Lvl 220 undead fixer trolls?

Ao to me is more like Bladerunner/Madmax-original, Dark Crystal -SL, and a watered down independance day (Ai)

28708 - Omni-Tek Signs the Lease on Rubi-Ka.
28715 - Notum is Discovered.
2 Days Later - SOL Banking Sues Omni-Tek, claiming they knew the Notum Existed prior to signing the lease.
7 Jan - 11 Mar 28716 - A Trial is held, the the judge throws out the case, ruling Omni-Tek's lease of the planet is legal and valid.

The more you know!

I think the judge was bribed.

Wait, so OT abandoned the city and neutrals moved in. Sounds like it was then a neutral city and OT decided that neutrals can't have anything nice and moved back in. All I'm hearing is that OT is the bad guy, as usual.

Possession is nine-tenths of the law. It's too bad the other one-tenth is what actually dictates ownership, and Omni-Tek holds that other one-tenth.

The same thing applies to Old Athen.

I do, and I remember how we all moved when OA became the new clan hub.

WTB a revamp of Omni-Ent like the effort put into OA. Except some silly rp excuse for a revamp, the reason Ent needs one is because its an abandoned ruinous pf that most omni players avoid like the plague. 2/3's of the 'bars' in Ent are broken and don't work. It's like a great idea that didn't get finished. Wait I've seen this before. I really liked the job they did with OA.
