Movement keys work fine with new characters on my accounts / installations, and i just deleted my whole prefs folder to make doubly sure. The movement keys are all there by default on any old character or new character i create.

I am guessing the people who have issues are using custom UIs that mess with the key bind settings.

What I didn't tell most of you was I didn't fly back and started as a programmer next week :)

I'm glad I've been given the opportunity to work on AO and contribute directly to the community I've been part of for all these years.

Gratz Man, well deserved! GL with the coding, looking forward to see you leaving your footprint here...

so, shades no longer have any stuns? lets hope the increased evades make up for the... well i guess pvm wise... err... seriously?

Great my main is useless until 2012, oh snap the world ends then. GG

gratz Vhab!

Means, instead of giving us false hopings, just dont say a deadline to the community, if ofcourse you are sure that you will make the deadline..

it'll only piss off the community even more.

I'll tell ya, that doesn't work either :)

If you don't mention dates, people think everything is a hoax or they assume its a million times worse, that it will really turn out.

There is no way to do it "right" (tm) just the way you choose to communicate.

You know those 30 seconds are there for a reason right? :P

So while this won't be out when we hoped we feel the changes we are making based on the excellent feedback provided by the playerbase will be worth the wait.

/facepalm, people, who already know AO and AO team, knew that you won't finish your job in time, so at least you don't have to apologize to everyone.

I don't know, but it looks like really old phrase, like from 2008?

Excellent feedback? I saw only whines about what the hell are you doing again? Aka MR thread or in game Item shop, selling veteran items, tokens, VPs, levels, xp, etc.
This game lost everything thanks to such effort, it is only about money nothing more.
Btw when are you planning selling 220/30/70 with endgame armor and symbs? Probably soon and getting more money from people through Paid points is probably more important than everything else.
You are on the way to make from Anarchy online new game called Noob trox online.
Do you ask me why?
1. MR, it is better than old mr after what you removed negative effects after use.
2. Why Noob?
a) your planned "balance" act will kill all twinks, which were made since SL/LE expansion.
b) your super paid point system aka "Do you have money? go and buy what you want."
I logged a few days ago only for 5 mins, when I saw some notum war action and after killing 4 people with full expansion I got this tell:

[Kis...]: cant u just let a newbie
[Kis...]: clan org
[Kis...]: have a tower site ?
[Kis...]: ill give u 4 mill
[Kis...]: for the site
[Kis...]: ?
[Kis...]: if u stop attacking
[Kis...]: promise
[Kis...]: not to attack ?
[Kis...]: wtf?
[Kis...]: why such ******

---

Instead of thinking about how to make twinks, how AO mechanisms work, people in AO rather pay for everything and if they don't have knowledge about AO, they can call only more similar noobs and this game works that one twink can't kill team of such lazy people or your best pvp level range.
This is your way, AO is losing veteran players and you are getting more clueless people from WoW, but this is what you want, because WoW people will pay for every ****** and they don't want to work hard for their setups, skills, items, etc. (aka item shop).
