ugly game anarchy online

I remember the good ol' days where people hang out at the Bronto Burger shop in Omni-Entertainment!

Bronto bronto brontooooo!

Ranting aside, these screenshots looks really promising. Anarchy Online is definitely the MMO I've had the most fun with.

Very nice! I love it when old mmorpg's got graphic updates. Jeese when was the last time DAOC got one? It had one every expansion pack practically lol.

Only if you were actually able to get to 237...

I am looking forward to the upgrade. This game has a ton of content. Has there been any newer "news" on this.

yep, today Silirrion put out another Letter from the Game Director:

current patch is 17.8, 17.9 will be next, then they expect to have the new graphics engine in 18.0

pvp slapped on? LOL

altho i hate advys/keepers and esp soldiers in pvp (i played a 220 enf..) AO has a great pvp system, go buy the Lost Eden expansion and play some battlestation, its great

next to that u have towers wars for all sorts of lvls, there are some insane twinks out there who spend months just to get some badass implants in, i made a froob lvl 25 styg trader who could get the styg 100% but i just plain sucked against the REAL twinks out there, including other froobs

i quit playing after 3 years of which about 2 years paid (ign was Kevinsama)

i like the game, left for SWG..... but do ya think the mobs will walk and not slide across the ground and if you miss with your ranged wep does the projectile come out at a 90 deg. angle to the bbl??

Less Grind and more varied PvP than any other MMO I know.  Every MMO has a lot of grind, it's just a matter of how it is 'disguised' and AO is better than most at that.  No other game allows such a variety of PvP scenarios, from duels to battle stations to Towers (the 'hardcore' PvP).

You have to remember that from the time AO was first developed until now, it has gone through multiple dev teams. Alot of the older code was not marked properly and each new bit of code ( such as code brought in with expansions, updates, etc. ) was more or less haphazardly spliced in as best as possible.

One of the reasons many of the old bugs ( including ones regarding animations, such as you mentioned ) are still there is because the current devs have no idea where the problem is in the old code. It's why they have trouble with patches breaking some things unintentionally and even in some cases fixing other things unexplicably.

And "ass-gliding" lives on to this day!!! Best bug EVER!

I've always felt that should be made into an intended feature.
