Re: OMG!LOL!

To the moderators: I really, really hate when you guys erase or move a thread that I'm writing a reply to.

To OMG!LOL!: Since they did re-/move your thread I'll just retype my post here. Mostly just because I love to hear my own voice.

I like the hi-tech stuff in AO and I can't ****ing stand pointy hats and magic, so for me those games will never be an option. Unfortunatly it seems AO is going to be more like that with Shadowanald.

Pet pathing still sucks. You can chose to walk and almost have 'em follow you, and be left behind by your team, but that's not very fun.

They did chnage the GUI some, so you can resize some windows, and hopefully they'll keep working on it.

It has gotten better, but it's still not good.

One of the things that have changed is that there are now some things to do other than missioning, and also quite a few players that are willing to try it even if the XP isn't as fast (and in some cases non-existant [Tower raids] ). No pet-pathing issues outdoors. Well, almost none :).

See you in 2 years.

If you like to hear your own voice you might want to talk instead of type. :D

what a ridiculous statement!

That is the only lamer I've heard try to compare those games to this one. I grew up out of my pointy hat days long ago. Give me a damn cold laser and face me off with 10 *** elves any day!

AO cannot be compared to AC2, DAOC or EQ. Same Genre, different styles. The only commonality is they are MMORPG's.

And yes, I have tried all the above. They suck, although AC2 is cool. I returned to AO for its style and gameplay.

Softtouch: I have seen these comparisons many times, and its galling ;)

None of them can compare to AO... Very True

Anarchy-Online is way better!

Nothing else to say :)

The game is indeed unique... it can't even be compared to the other major sci-fi MMORPG, Earth & Beyond (which I beta tested and didn't like at all) as that game takes place in space and, if somehow possible, gets excruciatingly boring much faster than AO, which isn't even that boring now with tower raids for high levels. Hell I haven't gotten a level in a week and a half and I'm having more fun than I have in the last 3 months :D.

Anywaaaaayyy... AO may not be a polished game, but it is certainly a deep game and a fun game. The polish is getting there too. In regards to Shadowlands: We shan't see any wizardy running amuck there, trust me. It will introduce many fantasy type concepts, true, such as really big monsters and spirits and so forth, but it will be covering the realm of metaphysics, the scientific study of a parellel world (yes there is a real-life study and profession of metaphysicist), so doubtless the story people at AO will find logical explanations for many occurences in Shadowlands. I believe most things in Shadowlands will be more from the genres of horror and suspense than from fantasy.

Waiting for Shadowlands

Woo hoo!!!

Bring on the Shadowlands!

I will walk across your dark fields and fly through your starless sky!

I will stride within the streets of Jobe, endless knowledge and wisdom at my fingertips!

Come forth mystic creatures and scientific wonders!

Unlock your gates so that I might swing them wide!

For I am Lunayu!

I am a Meta-Physicist!

I am returning...home!

No, they have to do it themselves.

GIve me personalized story-driven interaction (I know, I know, don't lecture me on mechanics) and you could make a world based on office politics, and I would be there.

I'm sorry but nothing compares to a gnome. Even though I don't play EQ anymore they're still the best race out of any MMOG imho.

And magic could be fun if there was a good game with it, like with magic guns.

Just my 2 cred that don't exist :)

BTW, i mean pre-Luclin gnomes, the ones where their head is as big as their body+legs. Man they were great ha
