Hey everyone! Sorry for how late this update is. This month we’ll be covering what is coming with the Anniversary update, scheduled to arrive on Testlive next week, and Live the week prior to the actual 15th Anniversary, which will be Monday, June 27th.
So a week prior to 27th is 20th?
That's how I read it
dear valued fc, gamers, whiners, crying babies and citizens of rubi ka,
i just want to say im looking forward on the new engine, steam, and ao gonna be wow killer in the future
So if I want this new armor do I need to purchase another month even though I have a year prepaid?
Given the way its worded, id say probably so. It doesn't sound its included in the membership rewards. Wonder what a "number of account rewards" translates toQuote:

These times are subject to change, as needed. The intention of this change to to assure that a larger group of the game's population will be able to participate in tower wars, without having to live in Hawaii. For those in the Oceania Time Zone, there will still be a crop of towers that can cater to your time zone. In addition to this, more towers will be made available in a wider QL-range within the tower shops, to help with towers changing hands over the coming weeks.
New Research Line
With this update, we will be offering a new personal research line that will be available to all professions. The intention will be offer a new set of levels to obtain for end-game characters, with an additional reward for anyone who is additionally AI-level 30.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
Essentialy worse moment in AO for me was when i dinged 220/70/30 on my main. Game stoped right then and there. Sure i did new alts, but nothing like my first true love, wanna ding that one a bit more.
And towers... tower swaping timezones... worst thing ever. Fixing this so towers are open during prime time. Good change. Not the only thing towers need, but a good start. This should abandon stupid tower transfers and stuff people did.
Engineer Grenade weapoons with more specials please. Im sure everyone is tired of Pistol this and pistol that. Give sloth of the Xan As and revive the demolitions perk line.
Tower Wars are dead: look at These fields...

I think the half of all Towers should be patched out... and Michi do something new... replace the Towers and the battlestation against a pvp playfield.
I would personally add even more enticing offers as far as XP bonuses goes. Would it really be harmful for old and new players alike to progress faster to the level they wish to partake in? They can always lock at a certain level to enjoy whatever content they want. So in short: A Leet Pet that you summon that wears a bureaucrat suit and gives huge XP bonus e.g 50% when purchasing the 360 or 540 day option.Quote:

It doesn't have to be a gigantic project, just as long as it serves the purpose of making all professions a bit more attractive to team with.Quote:

Tower field could also function as an extra "CC" location where an Org can start an AI raid (lvl of the raid depending on the field QL) with a higher chance of (new) loot, but enabling PvP.
Dunno sitting at 1500 contract points is a pretty powerful Org bonus.
Oops forgot about those :P So used of being Neutral and not having any :P
Hehe :pQuote:

Maybe people should quit bitching so much if this is true (even if its not should quit bitching anyways since you are lucky to have a game) Could be another Henry Senger but that is a weird coincidence.

I couldn't care less about the politics or gossip, but someone or Michi did announce at one point that he would be working on some TSW related stuff. This was a long time ago and before he took on AO in a new role.Quote:

From here on out I'm glad that the game still exists, and I just hope that before all is said and done that we will experience AO in spectacular VR because some rich studio or investor decided to buy the IP and hire the current plus new staff for the game and relaunch it with "Classic AO" and "Anarchy Online 2, renamed to Prophet without Honour".
One can dream...
Yes unfortunately they exploit the hell out of him - this is why he is so silent here - because has 2 jobs (maybe 3).
Very sad for a company which claims to be big.
And yep we are fortunate to have him here ! And he is doing very nice job also ...
