Don't forget to copy your Prefs folder in order to keep your current GUI settings.

    Preliminary Update Notes are available in the Test Live Announcements section on the forums, and you'll be able to see all the detailed changes going into version 18.5.0! Live release date to be announced.
    Missed the update about the character copy for test live being removed from the Accounts page. I know Auto, the boost NPC is helpful, but does not supply the items or alien levels and things of that nature that I want to have access to while in Test. The transfer has been down since February. An update on this would be appreciated.

    Also, noticed there is now a Character Slots line in the Account Details page. Interesting.

Either that or game should differentiate between /logout and /logout-back-to-launcher. Otherwise this new addition is just slowing down the whole process .

    When i heard Vhab joined the gang, sacrificing usability to add some eye candy is last thing i expected.
    Hit F-10 and click quit to login. You'll be taken back to a character selection without the game closing.

    I imagine they'll get around to making /camp do the same as quit to login.
    Screwed over for the last time.

    Go find a new game to play, this one no longer deserves respect.

    All RK missions used to be like that, though. Now we just file in, grind to the end and repeat.

    Too bad there's no way to code random Ian Warr encounters into Inferno missions.

    Last time I was on test, it only provided ql250 symbs and AI25. No pande items, no alien armor, etc. Tier, Ofab, or Miy's only.

    Makes some sense, but without a character copy tool, we can't exactly test things that will affect us. My character way outgears even the best that Auto can give.

    They added research a while ago, but otherwise yeah. Auto is a nice feature but it wont replace transfers.

    Also with amount of people on test who spawn countless 220s and whine for hours struggling to equip those very 250 symbs, i'd rather poke my eyes out with a fork and pour salt inside whats left, then watch them attempt alpha symbs and AI armors.

    Don't forget about the ofab

    Awesome update Lindelu. You got the attention of a lot of people outside of these forums with the videos of the new engine.

    TBH us old "fanboys" will love this game even if you announced that there will be no more a graphic interface, and everything will go through VT100 character sets.
    Historically, that's a Digital Equipment Corp. terminal just doing 8 bits ASCII characters...

    If you guys can do the new engine.. great..if not.. fine too imo.

    Just keep the twinking as it is..

    Revamp newby island so orgs such as Pack of Noobs don't have to take care of every new player as he/she freshly joins the game completely lost. I love PON.. they rock.

    Keep introducing rebalance at a slow pace.....but don't ever touch soldier reflect items.. it's all we've got.

    And .. amazing but .. I loved devs at my wedding.. making tricks for invitees.... you guys need to be more involved into RK life , you sure made a lot of people happy that day.

    Yours,

    Fun? My Enfo just managed to get a Styg on himself locked at 60 in TOTW. As things are he can solo GOT *if* he's got Skill of the Savage, Weapon Enhancement (+5 damage) and is Mongo'd up *and* has used Hacked Graft Playful Cub to wolf up *and* runs Withered Flesh nano. With not a single Cultist joining the fun. A Level 69 GOT goes down and he's nearly dead. Now there's fun! It's all that fear and panic that makes me love this game.

    There's a small island in that lake in Andromeda, and it's mine. Your builders will have a fight on their hands for that piece of real estate.

    Yeah this is a complete waste. Log in to TEST something on the TEST server and my character isn't transferred. Oh well I think to my self...I'll spawn the items I wanted.

    Nope. Seriously what use do you think id have for 250 engineer OFAB?

    Another question:

    Are you removing the embankments (snare type things) in Neretva as well when you remove the snare towers from Arid?

    First... awesome update. Really looking forward to see these changes ingame. Btw, I didn't know there was a command like /camp. After more than a decade of playing AO.

    Second... Lindelu has a cute voice. ^^

    Third... How did that rat story turn out? Did the rat dissolve already or is there a person with a disgusting, Drano soaked, smelly hairball in his basement toilet now?
