The title says it all, but to clarify; I have enjoyed Anarchy Online to a degree these past several months, but like just about everybody else I sometimes feel like hitting my head against the wall with many of the problems it has.
So I was thinking of some of my experiences from other MMOs and how much i wished they did this like DAoC or that like UO. etc...
So to start off I will give one example for now to get things rolling.
I so wish they had a system of testing and patching that DAoC has. Their the devs puts something up on the test server, the people that choose to play on it tests it and sees how it changes things, the devs comes back tweeks it a little bit, the testers test, and then they decide if they will put that aspect of test on live. For instance, first they were going to put a 35% reduction in PvP damage across the board. Then they started to exempt certain attacks. Then they threw the whole reduction thing out, and went at it in different way.
Don't get me wrong they are not beacons of great customer service. They loved the stealth nerfs, then deny there was a nerf, then demand players proof of the nerf, then lie to the customers that it was just tiny 3% nerf when it was a 50%nerf, then flat out ignore it and calling it a 'dead forge'.
