Krabbus, you're not witty, clever, funny, brilliant. You becoming a pest. When we went off the track a few pages ago this discussion came to a screeching halt.

be silent
be still
be silent

Don't touch your keyboard anymore

Have I? Explain it to me, here in Norway everyone are living under the same set of rules, no exceptions. Shouldn't it be like that in Rubi-Ka too?

It's been explained to you. A million times. You don't get it, you never will. Stop asking, accept that the topic is dead. No more good can be gained from it, and frankly its questionable that any good was gained at all. Just accept that its over.

Yep, I read only the 2 firsts pages of this thread and it was already a loop since page 1

.

My advice: enjoy your play time. An exp-pack is always welcome. You can see it as a big patch, but with more work throw in, and focused on adding content.

The game evolve.

You really should just read the last few pages. It gets better torwards the end where you see I'm just getting more and more irritated with "But the world should be fair". It's pretty funny stuff.

We are all painfully aware you feel that way.

NOW BE QUIET!

And people wonder why FC don't bother to read the post's in this forum?

**Mharc** · Jun 7th, 2002, 02:39:50

The treads are like they are because Funcome don´t read and respond. It causes confusion, dispair and anger when nothing (actions or explaing) appears to happen on Funcom´s front.

I WOULD pay 20 bucks more every month just to get this game FIXED. Funcom has diverted 50% of their employees to work on a worthless expansion.

6 Months later you'll walk into the store. The Shadowlands will be there , but with all these new mmorpg games like SWG. Of course being a AO player or use to play AO. You'll go take the AO Box out of the shelves and the natural reflex will be to turn it around to look at the details. Which is what most people do when buying a PC game. You'll notice that all the features seem stupid

New Graphics Engine

" to make the current graphics look a bit better"

Skill specialisation

" Why do I need it? It's just a useless addon"

Shadowlands

" Yeah the thought of going into a grid like zone and turning into a demon just because i'm a OT employee is very VERY exciting (sarcasm).

NEw Armor and weapons

" WE HAVE enough armor and weapon varieties in the game what in the end happens is that the best of these weapons will become standards like nova flow and so on and soon the variation will dissapear"

JOBE!

"Yeah I need another stupid ghost city like rome to wander around in another superior shop for me to search stuff which I can't find is VERY VERY useful "

now you'll just say " well i'll have a look at the others before I decide what to buy".

Then you'll walk to some other mmorpg and then turn the box around and yes you'll consider that release games are always crap , but in the end you'll buy it because who the hell wants the useless features in the expansion pack when I can buy a new game and experience a totaly new place , better graphics and features and you know the fun of exploring the new games you'll end up brushing you're su****itions of the release game away and buying it.

What will happen next? You'll get addicted the same reason why you stay in AO and in the end you'll quit because of AO's bad state and lack of players. Yeah the new mmorpg will have bugs and so on but you'll still get addicted because of the new content and stuff to do.

Got a bit off topic there but I think if Funcom is going to make a Expansion make it after you completed the game!!! Fix the tradeskills , fix the housing, fix the nanos, fix the areas. So much to do. When the expansion come sout the majority of players have already silently left because of the problems with the game

IT is needed that these 30 people working on the expansion go back and work on the fixes on the patch.

The game has started to shape up and now it's going all wrong. Funcom is a good company but it's working bad right now because all of it's work is heavily diverted despite of the companies small size.

With my experience with the company the new expansion is going to go all wrong when it's released and generates loads of problems. And they'll sink to the competition

What they should do is to improve and fix the current game and then work on the expansion. The current game has so much potential. The zones that players barely go to , the tradeskills , the apartments, the story, the war and so on. There is no need yet for a expansion. It is needed that Funcom fixes the game so all the potential in their current game is already used then work on a expansion

I'm guessing they want money and they want it bad and they do not see what a bad marketting strategy they have put up here.

When the Shadowland pack will be shipped, there will be a new patch for old client who dont use shadowland. It's like Starcraft Patches. When Diablo 2 is arrived, Starcraft was patched. Why ? to keep the compatibility with battle.net and Diablo 2 users.

So, a patch with all new game mechanics will be released for old players. They will be able to trade with shadowland players. But if you want to go in the new areas, you will have to buy the expansion pack. Is this so terrible to understand ?
Technically, you cant be hit by a shadowland's weapon or a shadowland's nano if your client dont know the item. So your client will be patched for compatibility. In the same way, all the game mechanics have to be equal for both kind of players. That will be part of the End User License Agreement (EULA). FC dont force you to buy a new pack. They simply offer new horizons to the gameplay. So technically, Shadowland is simply a client side patch (for new game mechanics) + a graphics pack (2 areas).

In fact, i dont understand you Krabbus. You started this thread with a big piece of **** and wrong argumentations.

If you dont buy the pack, you will not be a loser for the shadowland players. You'll simply not have access to Jobe area.
And even if you dont want my point of view. I think you're an idiot who pay 13$/month and not pay 20$ an annual great pack. Refuse to pay this money is your right, but it's not an argumentation for your whinnings anyway.

You cant make a expansion pack with new game mechanics and keep the old game mechanics at the same time for old players. And FC cant offer new dimensions too. A new dimension cost is more expensive than you can imagine. And FC cant create two line of production. One for old players and one for shadowland players. So they will work for both on one common engine.

But yes, some items from shadowland pack will be NO DROP, and old players will cannot grab it. And what ? It's normal. Buy the pack and you will be able to afford it. I would not like people who never gone on shadowland use a shadowland's item. Grrr. It will be unfair. You want it, make the challenge to gain it by yourself.

**engelstein** · Jun 8th, 2002, 20:40:06

Actually, you could be hit by shadowland weapons and nanos, but it would be a whole lot of people running around with boxes that have skulls on them and getting hit by nanobots for X unknown damage.

There will be a patch for AO that makes it possible to play with Shadowlands people. FC is not stupid.
