• • Hello Rubi-Ka 2

  • There's the FAQ in this forum which also has links to other sites to get help from. RK2 (Rimor) has the largest population but the AO population isn't as big as other games such as WoW.

    Regarding levelling how long it takes depends on if you have the expansions and how you play. With SL levelling is much faster then if you're willing to team you can move along quite well. Someone that really wanted to push things managed to do lvl 200 or maybe even lvl 220 in twenty-four hours of game time so how long it takes you depends a lot on how fast you want to level. Although your first chat will take some time as you don't know your way around and can't get at items as easily. A good Org will help you there.

    Also this is a MMORPG, not a single player RPG. The idea of these types of games is that you can do whatever rather than follow some scripted routine of one quest after another like in single player RPGs. WoW isn't more mature, they just made levelling too easy and had it so you could solo up to cap before needing to do much anything with others. There are some quests and such you can do if you want to so as to gain some quest specific reward but you're not required to do any of that if you don't want to.

    That's not how software version numbering works. There could be a patch 17.99999999999999999.0 before 18.0 comes along. The graphics engine upgrade is planed for the later part of the year, how many version patches we get before then is impossible to say.

    Also remember this is an engine update, not a graphics in general update. Originally they said all it would do was take advantage of current video cards to take the work load off the CPU and that visual improvements would come after that over time. Now it looks like at least some things will look better right away but still, don't expect night and day changes. It will look better but the main gain at the start will be that it should play more smoothly. Considering how many textures and meshes there are in the game it will be some time before they can give everything to most things a facelift.

• • Can skills / attributes reset?

  • See "C-30 Can you Rest your Skills?" in my Anarchy Online F.A.Q. thread in this forum.

    
    C-30 Can you Rest your Skills?
    When you start you'll be given some IPRs (Improvement Point Resets) and you get more at each TL. If you have the expansions then you'll have more IPRs to play with than fr00bs and can also buy them for credits at a terminal in the Hardware Dimension in Jobe Plaza (250 million creds is the base value) or for 50k VP at one of the LE shop terminals in the Tower Shops.

    To reset a skill you first must stip off everything from the three tabs in your wear window (ctrl + 1). Next open your skills window ("U"), click the "i" icon in the top left corner of that window, select "reset skill" from the menu that pops up then click on the skill you want to rest in the skills window. When you do that a button will show up towards the bottom of the window with the number of remaining IPR noted beside it, click the button to reset that skill. Map Nav can't be reset and abilities generally can't be reset properly since to raise a skill very much at all you need to increase the related abilities as well.

    After big game changes like expansions you may also get a single use "reset all skills" option as well which will reset everything including abilities but still not map nav (some abilities may not be fully reset if you have put some points in map nav). This is a limited time option FC gives us due to the changes that expansion brought us but you don't need that expansion to get the reset. Right now with LE it is possible they will offer another "reset all skills" reset later on (said they might do that before LE came out) but last I heard they have no plans to do so.

• • trouble playing the game

  • Sounds more like a firewall issue. The game is trying to connect but can't due to your firewall not being setup properly to allow it to connect.
