Tonight, March 27, I had just returned from Rome and was involved in a conversation in Ent-east when I noticed malfunctioning slayerdroids taking out Omni citizenry. Before I could react I too was dropped pretty quickly and found myself on the outskirts of Rome. Teach me to insure more frequently...
Upon return to Ent-east, I decided to head over to Trade, and lo and behold citizens there were being attacked by the slayerdroids. Pretty soon we gathered our senses and fought back the mechanical beasts...and what followed was astounding...a rather large explosion in the area of Omni HQ...or so came the message to my comm unit...
Anyone care to elaborate on anything else that may have happened?

OOC: On a side note, I've noticed many players complaining about the lack of story elements, or events, within AO. As a former two-year vet of Ultima Online, and the lack of "events" within that gaming world, I truly felt like a participant in tonight's events. UO began scenarios a while ago, but mainly they were in the form of fiction on their official website with very little in the way of interaction among the players in the game, save ridiculously camped new spawn areas within certain city limits. While their fiction was okay--nothing like the depth I have seen on the AO website--as a player I never enjoyed having to read about the latest event, and then log-in and find the new spawn area, without anything tangible happening in the game world around me. Tonight's "event" in AO was incredible; first the attack by the droids, and then the explosion...nothing like this ever happened in UO. So to all of you with a complaint--which may be valid in your eyes--consider yourselves lucky to be a part of a gaming world where things actually "happen."
Peace.
