Its on test live right now.... (via a whompa in trade if you are omni, and i dont care about how clanners get there)

Unless you have a soldier twink, dont get overly exited

I dont think AO has the manpower to work on a project of this scale anymore, we have a dev team of ONE, and while its a valiant effort and a nice idea, the place feels barren and uninhabbited.

Also, if it doesnt get a level lock, then it will never serve the purpose it was intended for.

As an alternate view of that, the zone is quite beautiful and it has a real frontier Omni style...It's gorgeous :p

Gotta agree on the content tho, but I have a feeling that could be padded out over time now the bones of the thing is functional.

I hope it gets a Grid exit and maybe put a couple of the empty FGrid exits on the 10th floor to good use. Also it'd be nice to have noramal zone boundaries. It's supposed to be an open world zone so it'd be nice if it was, you know, open :p

wish the timed used on the reck were spnt on balanceing the game, the reck has no chanse to be populated vs ely kite hill for levling

Adding tl4-tl5 content is balancing the leveling-curve of the game, so the time is well spent imo.

Except for the little detail of there being lots of older, neglected content with obsolete loot and low exp mobs that could be revitalized by changing some stats on the loot. The "Wreck" is just another subpar attempt at enticing some vets to subscribe for a couple of months. Not a serious attempt at fixing the game.

Thats obvious - look at dungeons like Coh (good loot, but 220 can enter) and SoM (same). If 220 will be able to grind/lead lowbies, this zone will be dead - because atm its like Ely, where 220 can do stuff for lower ones.

Dear All!

When i saw this video, i had the feeling i must share it with everybody else. But couldnt find better place, so i post it here.
