....AO seems to have a long history of throwing rewards at people that have not been loyal in order to get them to return or subscribe whereas not providing comparable rewards to those of us that have been consistant in supporting this game over its lifetime...

Possible solution: When new incentives are offered to entice new players or to get players to return, these offers/items are given a point value that is automatically added to the veterans account.

Example: Rubi’ka Hardcore pack = 2000 points. The Pack is added to the in game item store and the 2000 points are automatically added to the veteran player’s account.

Now, I leave it to you to decide what amount of ‘time’ equates to a veteran player...I’m going to go play AO!

How about some Vet Vendor NPCs selling stuff directed at people, who have played for eg. 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15 years (Let's be optimistic ^^)

Then give us some paid points depending on our longevity - find some scale that is actually rewarding vets - and we get unique stuff that we can show off with.

Naturally these items should not be game-altering but could be a special versions of armor or weapons that have the exact same stats but a different icon. Or something like that.

We have vet points so the system knows how long we've been playing and that would determine which NPC we'd be able to interact with.

If the Relaunch/Reengine/Rebalance brings back many returning players, will there be emminent domain so large orgs can forcibly evict from their cities farm orgs of only one or two active, subscribing members?

[Tazalanche]

Here's one I forgot.

Why doesn't the game check the org bank balance before spamming the warning about losing the city for insufficient funds to cover rent?

I make sure we have at least a year's worth of funds to cover city rent in the org bank at all times & yet we get that spam every month.

he will reply to them all next friday I am willing to bet.

Well. Questions...
Why did you feel the need of professionals when you had no intention to listening to them?
(referring to the engie document and a few others I have talked to).
Needed someone to take the blame?

Actually they listen quite a lot and make rather large changes to everything before it has been publicized. But you can always find some hate from scorned lovechildren.

Really? apart from a few love-children and hecknoobs. I have hear the answer is "screw you. This is what we will do"

Listening does not mean bending to every whim of the player base.

How does that relate to Professionals? And, how would you cast blame on them for the changes that FC makes to their product? They have absolute control after all.

When is the website getting a proper update?
I've seen some things changing over time, but the things that are changed.. don't seem to work 100%.

- The only thing that gets updated regularly is the FWM.
- Not all patches are available.
- Each time i pay for an account, the way of navigating through the register site seems to get more confusing.
- why is that stupid LE banner still the animated banner on the site? It looks bad, it's low quality, and it's old!
- wallpapers, and screenshots are outdated.
- the photo's... why are they there? A photo of the current Anarchy Online team would be somewhat interesting to see by some people. It looks unprofessional. They don't even say what they are or when they were taken.

well, i could complain about other things that are wrong. But Fc should already know everything that is wrong with the site. It still needs a complete overhaul, we're saying that for way over a year now.

When is funcom going to produce what auno.org (outdated) and Xyphos.com are doing? I'd like to see this kind of information coming from Funcom, and not from a 'fansite'

[Lupusceleri]

LoL, Means pulled a fast one on everyone so he could get away with a short FWM.

It's called weekend. Peoples working on week days tend to have them, and not spend any thoughts on work while it's weekend.

Q: Where is Waldo?

There he is.

[McKnuckleSamwich]

Means,

Additional question: When SL released Gaute and team tried something of interest but had to roll it back so that all the 200's could get the items needed to progress. The concept they tried was: When you kill a mob that is gray to you (awarded loot rights) that mob will not have any loot on it. The idea was to prevent gray mob's having any value at all to high level players. Of course 200's needed keys and other items so they could level and it was pulled very quickly to allow existing toons a way to move up.

However today when a 220 can farm all the Ado Dryad's for the rare drops and usually does prevent proper level toons from accessing them (also see predator's) this mechanic would be a great way to stop players farming gray mobs. So is there any chance of making this happen again? I really do not see how having a system where 220's can own every low level spawn is helping AO. If you feel that allowing 220's to camp/own the gray spawns is acceptable please explain why.

Thanks.

Wow. gaute had some balls. WTB this in game... and then holy crap, mid game is active again!

The maximum amount of items in your apartment has been reached! This item will be lost if left here.

I can't put stuff in my Sunrise apartment because one of the other apartments are full???

RK, Jobe, Jobe Lux & Sunrise has the same total limit as if you only had an RK apartment?

Why is the limit so small & not increased if you have each of the apartments?

Why do you get this exact same warning if you try to drop something in one of the org city buildings too?
I can't decorate the org HQ???

[Jodah]

Prediction: Means won't get around to answering until next Friday. This way he can be as lazy as possible with 2 different FWM. Very smart.
