I hate to say it, but I'm quitting AO hardly before I get started.
Don't take this the wrong way. I love AO. I'm only level 6 or so, but I'm really enjoying it. I was attempting to assemble a full suit of cyber armor and get some better weapons and such. Ya know, typical newbie stuff. I'd even decided I was going to save as much as possible so I could get one of those kick-ass flying vehicles(a steal at only 4 million creds!).
So if I enjoy the game so much, why am I quitting? Because it's too much damned work to figure out how to keep the game running on my machine. Almost every time I want to play I have to spend hours(at least two) getting the program up and running. Once I do, it runs fine for as long as I play(up to 6 or so hours. I like to screw around with character creation. Only just now decided tha fixers seem coolest). On the other hand, no game, no matter how good, is worth dicking with for two hours everytime I want to play. Maybe someday FunCom will fix this, and I really hope they do. When that day comes, I'llbe back. Until then, good luck, godspeed, and don't run out of ammo.
