After playing Wurm Online for a whole year, I've decided to return to Anarchy Online. I still need to wrap things up over there, I became one the largest bulk sellers and even thought peeps over there want me to stay, I've missed AO and the community too much.
I left AO due to a patch which pretty much reset all shortcuts, backpacks names and such, without any way to restore them (which I still think the devs should have made a small app to backup the info and restore after that patch).
Yes, I know you could use a 3rd party software to back all the crap up, but by the time I found out about that it was too late, all the files had already been modified by the patch.
I want to come back fresh, will take me a while to set all my characters back up, and I'm still not sure if I want to be a Clan Leader or join an active clan. Honestly I've only spoken with a few AO peeps in the past year.
With the beta fully confirmed and ongoing, my hope is that I'll enjoy the new visuals (before 2015), make new friends, get back in touch with some vets and once again be an active gamers in the AO community.
I'm also unsure about how vocal I will be within the community regarding the game itself, I burned a few bridges when I was a bit too blunt on my personal options. But well, being filtered is not something I do well.
I do know that I'm likely to start making new AO youtube videos =P
Thanks to those who have spoken to me on AOSpeak, it's encouraged me to return.
