Gonna play AO eternity (Round table of Valhalla suits fine for my gameset and mini fridge)
-I Started Out With Nothing And Still Got Most Of It Left-
Hmm Skinny leather ties - is this a comment on the ageing AO population? Will we need an old folks home on Rubi Ka where you have to dodge rampant mp's on their mobility scooters and soldiers with their comb overs ;p

Well you'd be a lock to get in being a professional and all. Wonder how they'll decide who else gets in though and how many they'll let in.
As for AO2 I really can't see that ever happening, clearly it was an "arrg!" kind of moment due to all the hassles the old code was causing. AO2 at this point would be insane. FC already has a new MMORPG in the works, AO player counts aren't too exciting and there's a big change in the works which will make AO fairly different.
Then if there was an AO2 there would be virtually no chance in hell that it would be anything like AO. Just look at the way AoC is, the plans for their new MMORPG and other more current MMORPGs out there. Then generally only if things were going fairly well for a title would would a company produce a new version of it, AO isn't seeing stellar numbers these days. New versions of MMORPGs tend to be a new take on the same theme with big rule changes, set well before or well after the current time line and so on. So transferring current chars to AO2 wouldn't be possible meaning we'd all start new which a lot of the vets wouldn't be too excited about. Many people are asking to merge all the servers but a new version of AO would just split things further.
The thing with MMORPGs is that they are routinely expanded and adjusted, that's one their supposed strengths. So with MMORPGs there generally wouldn't be sequels, just expansions, boosters and patches.

I was pretty drunk when I read this FWM and seriously.... I thought I was trippin'. When I got out of bed to read it this morning I was unsure of how I felt. I had to reflect upon it for a min.
But generally it sounds like I bought my new computer just in time. AO1.5 here we come!!!!
I sense a "Most improved game of 2010" award.
I would like to share my vision of some future cool addition to MP toolset.
Please, giev.
P.S.
Yes, that's a parry stick.
so, this new game enigne - any ETA? - nothing vague and general please; just a hard date; even if it is 2 years from now...
new World-bulding(Conan) tool for AO sounds promising for the future of AO, i can just
imagine what you guys can do width this tool for AO.
Most of the new content of AO (xan,db,sl) is already like AO2, i think you
guys really proves things can be done, the design is great most
of the landscapes are well model, i think all AO fans and players
have a magic time ahead to wait for. Many of the new games
coming out doesn't have half the content or even near what AO have.
Great post. keep up the good work!

I can definatly vouch to this, i'm working with and old project done by an inexperienced programmer, and understanding how it all works (i'm amazed that it works at all) and try to clean and implement new functions is quite daunting.Some might feel like we are making "excuses" when I tell you about some of the hiccups we have on a regular basis. I feel we do very very well...and anyone who works in any kind of develoment context on an older project will tell you this kind of thing happens all the time. The point is really "this stuff happens all the time" at this point we are quite good at dealing with it...my pulse no longer breaks above 45 bpm.

Indeed I was working on some stuff last year where the guy who had made it was like a hobby programmer who used this stuff to "learn" how to "code" ... in the end, he had like 4000 lines of code in one file that was one long list of goto and cases... Required pretty much a complete rewrite but you still had to figure out how he used some external files, got variables from one place and called them something else when using the values from them in his main file.

The "Trolls" option is incorrect. The term trolls is not used to describe the gathering of information on the Internet.
