There's never any AO information in the reports. That should tell ya something.

That upgrade actually is FROM the AO engine work, the things they found out about the engine while trying to plug it into the hold code made it so they could make improvements to AoC's engine. I believe AoC's update is already on their test server, or going to be on it by the end of the month. Sil was doing a lot of running around trying to learn the ins and outs of it. (The things you learn from talking on IRC with the devs.)

See! I told you all. They did nasty/hidebehindwalls stuff before shinies things like water and skies. Which means.... they are near.
But who cares. I bet all those haters/flammers (i love you yeni but u in this group >.<) never did any kind of hard programation or project. And they ever wanna undestand wtf recode a program means.
OKIES! For what the matters now! Did I saw crit decrease, reflects and nr in adv morphs?!!!

[Completly offtopic on] WHY CANADA? :x Now my process to visit you is far bigger. Ex.:
Me travels to Nowergian:
- Get a passport
- Get plane tickets
- Profit
Me travels to Canada(w/o touching US):
- Reserv a hotel
- Reserv plane tickets
- Pay $100
- Travel a distance like Germany to Portugal to answer a silly interview
- Interview (Are u a terrorist? U haz bombs? U will traffic drugs?... Are u sure u not a terrorist.....) SILLY INTERVIEW.
- Wait a month
- Repeat process 3 to 6 if your plane happens to touch US land
- If you get your visa: profit. If not: Unreserv anything you reserved 1/2 months ago, spend your money for nothing, FU /facepalm
And its ever the same continent. Silly silly :x

To devs: You failed redesigning MPs as NTs with pets. I want my debuffer back.
Dreamer: Basically - I wish THIS much effort was put in to ALL profs rebalance docs.
Kintaii: Genele is more hardcore than you, your guildmates, and anyone else you've ever played with
Anarrina: Trust me, I'm not that scary in real life.
I'd go if it weren't the same weekend as St-Jean's.
It's because AO isn't getting AoC's current engine, but rather AoC's new engine.
Part of the reason it takes a while to add it to AO is because that specific engine is still in development as well. (this was also mentioned at the previous fan event).
And of course there's all the weird things AO does graphics wise.
When just going around in AO and paying close attention you can find all kinds of little custom effects (especially in SL).
Some small and some huge like the Shadowlands sky.
It's magic I tell you.

Dude the making outlandish statements approach doesn't work on me so just quit it already. You don't shock me into awe. Except possibly of how much of a fanboi someone can actually be to an online game company.
I'm asking for them to reaffirm what they have said themselves. Namely that the new game engine is due for release in q1 2011. That is all. Everyone except you and perhaps a certain NT professional seem to think that is perfectly reasonable.
Because it IS reasonable.
{edited by Anarrina: completely unnecessary}
Thanks for reading.

Hoping bigtime that I make it...
and hope that AO lives for another 10 years! Its gonna be pretty awesome!
honestly ppl... how naive can u be?
there will be no new engine in 2011... u really believe that it will come soon(tm) ?
they promised new footage/videos how many month ago?
u really think they wouldn't bring those to get everybody excited if they would have a state that's "showable" by now?
the engine is far far away from being ready to release... and it's way more likely that they will say "we canceled the aoc engine in favor of the new dreamworld one, that's why we delay it for 5-10 years" than to see a new engine within this year...
What makes you think that FC Corporate would let them? You have to remember that even Means does not have the last say in what he can and can not say about the game. (And no he's not going to break NDA and lose his job just to give you some pretty video.)
As noted previously it's the upgraded AoC engine we're getting, yet they don't have an official video of it, just some beta videos of it on Youtube that have gone up for the last few weeks.

What's certain by now is we need clear news & infos about what is going on, why AO isn't mentionned anywhere in these financial reports, what is exactly about AoC engine update or partnership to release TSW & wich will be the fate of AO in all this ...
Last solid news we had was october so it's now nearly 5 MONTHES ... again, i think the community deserves some real details on new engine ETA.
Once again, WHY, us knowing it's current state is not going to change it's launch date in any form. Means has said time and again that "Q1 2011" and if you look at FC's quarterly frame you see it's not the end of march like many people think.
AoC's engine is in beta now, which means there's at least less new features coming out for the AO team to contend with.
Relax, what does it change by knowing the engine launch is going to be in 2222? Is it going to decide if you say with the game or not? Then leave for now, wait until the engine comes out then come back. If it means "I want friends to play in game with again." You need better friends if they leave over the graphics and not the gameplay. Which if they left over the gameplay that means the engine isn't going to do jack for them.

that's quite a false assumption you say there. I know enough companies that don't show a thing besides a tiny bit of info and crack down fansites that post leaked pictures just so they can keep on building up the hype, Nintendo/Gamefreak is the first that comes to mind.
If you don't believe in the engine, just be silent and enjoy the game or move on. You are not here to spread the word and convert us.
If you have faith in FC, then let them work and stop making silly demands and assumptions.
People saw the engine, and those that know enough of game coding understand that moving from one engine to another is not easy when your code is not good documented and the engine you are converting to is also in beta phase and has to work on other games too.
If they never said anything about the engine at all, noone would be complaining about something that doesnt change the gameplay.
It's the one thing you can really say about FC, they should just have kept silent until the work was 90% done.
They're human, they made mistakes and those dates they project are estimates, not absolutes.
Maybe they stopped explaining it cause they no longer feel like fueling the hate machine that's running through the forums.
tl;dr: pay, play and enjoy the game or move on and find a game that you find fun and suits your needs.
Freedom or death!
