Next expansion

[Psyonis]

The "Aliens" impression that I got from the info CZ posted was that the aliens will be coming to RK, as an strong, technologically advanced race not as a playable race but as an NPC race (could be wrong..just speculating).

Possibly coming from another world to try and take control of the planet from the Omni-tek company as well as the freedom of all the people to mine and profit from the notum. perhaps we will not only have to defend our towns/tower bases from each other but protect it from the alien race coming to take control of RK. Kind of makes me think of XCOM...lol.

If they are technologically advanced does that mean we will be getting some nice weapons and equipment from them, maybe a cool UFO to fly around in.....

When will the official press release be going public???? ..

Really I think SL should be worked on before you even concider develping another science-fair expansion release.. Seriously lets work on the problems at hand instead of creating new broken hopes..

When I saw that there were two new topics in this forum.. I was hoping for one of Cz's "weekly" updates that would shine some light on quests and perk fixes for SL.. like the broken NT "Enhance Nano Damage" perk.

Hey guys...

I started playing AO two weeks after the Notum Wars were launched. Even back then, Shadowlands as the name for the next expansion was already known to the player community.

And check out how much had been done during those ten months between the launch of NW and the launch of SL had been done!


All the while, FC was patching, improving, hunting bugs, implementing new contents (ToTW.... later IS come to mind). So by the time SL was launched, one could say that RK was running pretty smooth and fairly balanced.

I have no reason to doubt that the guys at FC will be doing the same thing for SL while they keep working on the next expansion that will probably be a year or more to wait for.

HOW DID FC SECURE THE COPYWRITE TO HAVE ALIENS IN THE GAME!!!!!

I loved that movie, Facehuggers, chestburster! W))TN355 TO ALLG0TTN355!

So, does this mean that the tiein of Predator will be also in the game? I would love to have a predator and take him hunting in SL, its a perfect match, a invisible stealth hunter vs hecklers

HEHE< maybe the next cooler than Aliens and Predators in AO tieyin will be Mechwarriors for the unterraformed lands...

Cant wait!

Notum Wars is a lag-festival, Shadowlands is a bug- and camping festival ... yay, time for another expansion

[Eternalforce]

Third times the charm...then again, including original AO, this will be the fourth try. Oh well, I'm prepared to have high expectations, and then plumit to a painful doom when it's actually released.

[Demetria]

New Yalms... woop de doo...

we didn't need the last lot

Unless they make em work in Shadowlands, that's just another pointless credit sink.

Player built towns is as expected... so long as it doesn't end up like UO or SWG with ugly buildings taking up all the flat ground and lagging the place to hell.

But Aliens? WTF? OMG? Are you kidding... etc....

I thought this was a social expansion? no?

[Spluggorth]

no more nerfs i hope

[Hamini]

in addition the level cap will be raised to 240, which you will have to gain on rubi ka killing backyard leets.

[Geli]

wooohooo ulitma on... uh i mean anarchy online gets houses ... : /

[Glarawyn]

Aliens? I thought in the AO world humanity had thourally explored the galaxy and had not found any signs of other intelligen life. So the aliens must have come from another galaxy. If I had just spent countless years cossing the space between two galaxies, I'd be nasty and aggressive too.

[Trilic]

Sounds great...I dont even mind paying for the booster pack...But please dont raise the monthly cost anymore!

[Wrangeline]

This expansion will be the most fun one so far because there wont be so much nerf-balance-frustration-factors since its focused on non-combat stuff. Atleast that I know of. I expect there to be alot less whining and such after the release of this expansion.

[Toxinator]

Sounds awesome cant wait!

[____________Jeremiah]

New tech! NT love patch!

OK joking aside, I'm seriously looking forward to this one more than Shadowlands, fingers crossed for some good work

Second, the expansion will include organisation headquarters and player-built towns, as well as other features focusing on social aspects and [b]character development.[/]

Ehem...

My personal wish btw is that they fill this entire expansion with whimsical, funny and cool social stuff, but no actual gear that we would actually use at wor... err... campi... errr... playing!

Oh and no quests please. In gact, pretty please with sugar on top. Not gonna say anything more than that, coz we know the forum rules (well, I do ), but you all know what I'm thinking.

[Sheffy]

Some stuff will be awesome, some stuff will be broken. Its nothing we're not used to already. All-in-all, its more content and I'm excited about it none-the-less Is there a tentative release date? Or is this still in the early developmental stages?

[Kithraks]

I want, an alien race of super advanced and intelligent Leets take revenge on the citizens on Rubi-Ka for killing countless numbers of their fuzzy comrades as target practice in all training grounds.

How does a giant 50ft leet shooting death-rays out of its eyes and saying "I pwnz joo!" sound?

[Kzak]

Hehe, many enthusiastic people here! I am one of them also, by the way.

If anything, the Story(TM) should take an interesting turn when sentient aliens are discovered - should cause galaxy-wide headlines, to say nothing about what may well be happening on Rubi-Ka. Suddenly a Greater Threat appears.

"The enemy of my enemy... is my friend." (Or, for the particularly warlike ones, "is my enemy.")

Sounds absolutely perfect! Phear Leetzilla!
