Did i spy Lucy Trent up there
Dropable items had to be removed, If you remember some people liked making world servers crash by intentionaly dropping as many items as possible...
Hmm, turrets...Well LED was another faction it wasnt the police, the government is supposed to have the best equipment and an advantage, and tbh with all the newb ganking that went off, turrets was good. Or dont you remember all the fun of brooklyn mall in OB?
O and well tbh i remember loads of people complaining about the old graphics, looked like half life 1......I didnt mind the engine upgrade.. |

I played since early OB all the way to end of retail.
OJam and DPS didnt screw it up, if anything it was player behaviour..
The vast majority of what people consider negative changes, was to counter the unfriendly and exploiting way that some players played...
YOu dont like Mission waiting rooms? well we shoudnt have exploited the misison system in early OB.
dont like turrets? well shouldnt have ganked newbs and made them feel like quitting the game.
Dont like manhattan as a safe zone, shouldnt have raided the senate for kicks every week and try to spoil other peoples RP...
the list goes on and on...

Hmm, no its all rumour and supposition. As far as i am aware, Ojam had very little to do with the changes in FoM.
Some of the changes had been in the pipeline for a long time though, just with one thing or another DPS never got around to doing them.
Fom was and is a great game, cant wait to play again... |

FoM is a great game, Through out Beta, newbs quit because the game wasnt newb friendly...some people left due to the crappy gfx and the bad servers...
Most of the people who left never came back and tried the game again....so they never saw the changes that was made to counter all the reasons people left.
There was also the hardcore fom players who saw any move to be more newb friendly as carebearing teh game...And that might be true, but as what would any of us prefer a game that shuts down because only a few people will play it, or a game that doesnt shut down?
FoM owns, and I wont even bother with the free account, going to pay as soon as possible.....But free acounts are a good idea, as i remember DPS talked about free accounts over a year ago....But with one problem or another never got around to it... |

I played from Early OB till the end of retail when FoM shut down,
There was literaly no other game like FoM, sure it had its problems...but they was slowly getting fixed.
Now i dont play any game.....Only FOM will do...

random from where though?
I do hope they allow some new people to beta test and not just old Fom players :) |

Originally posted by Goluh Hmm, thats what they said, at least thats the way i read it lol.. there are no mission terminals etc now..instead there area just auto generated missions the auto generated missions have pre defined objectives set by the GM using that new tool they talked about...
Thats virtualy the same as retail, you went to a mission terminal, selected the predefinted misison, ran around abit pressing a few buttons, got a little bit of cash..
hardly seems that different...
dont see whats so bad, only time I did basic misions in retail was when nobody else was about doing stuff....or no one to run missions with, this sees the same..
Now if you got enough people you take a base and get elementum and materials spawned, it just takes out the middle man.. |

I think they probably change that now though, they said that before they made the deal with this site...
I would think that invite will be sent through mmorpg now.....someone ask Zordax |

The "quests" are just like the basic missions that was auto spawned, its hardly any diffeence at all.. except you dont go to a misison terminal you go to a npc, then complete some set objectives. ok for when nobody else is about, I did loads of basic misisons in retail....

Yes, actualy most of what we say is speculation, there has been very little info from DPS or Ojam about exactly who did what..
Im pretty sure that Ojam was behind the anti swearing policy and the removal of the more mature pictues (club 69 picture) |

For the most part, i quite like it...
Apar ffrom the removal of the Justice system.
Everyone wil be an individual with the choice of starting tehre own group, those groups can set there own uniforms and badge and ranks... The more i hear about the bases and the elem system the more i like it... Being able to set your base to defense, elem streaming or raw material mining sounds good.
and having weapons autocreated at a more expensive price seems like a good idea, and consistent with a futeristic society with advanced technology.
I can see ther being masssive market wars...The Clans/groups who can make the cheapest goods wont just be CMG...they will need Corperation members enough people to defend, enough raw materials and enough elementum to upgrade there stats.
Im hoping to see the former GD members, take a base and have it on full defense/elementum mode,..dont waste energy on production/mining..and instead have a safe haven for new players who can join the GD clan for a while and get some free elementum...
I like the sound of the upgrades too, the more you use your gun the better you get at it, im assuming thats stuff like your cone of fire gets smaller.. Then from the earlier dev blog i seem to remember they said that you cant just max everything...putting elem on one thing costs it from another..
Sounds good too...In RP terms i would explain that as your body can has a maximun limit for exposure to elementum or something...
hmm i went on longer then i ment too, sorry. |

I disagree Ojam had very little to do with the changes, and the only thing they had to do with the shutdown, was after over a year of losing money they decided to cut there losses and leave...
The Vast majority of changes to FoM was made to counter PLAYER behaviour. |
