Keep in mind: My posts are my own personal views and thoughts.
Imagine if Silirrion had said this 5 years ago. Who knows when engine will actually hit, June 2013 is probably being optimistic since it hasn't even seen beta testing and every previous deadline has been overshot by several years. Meanwhile even diehards like Jill describe the game as unplayable due to population. Having everything ready and in perfect order is a good plan, but for a company like FC, completely unfeasible.
AO is free to play. People are more accepting of sub-par graphics when they aren't paying $60 for a game. Even without the new engine, a Steam release would bring in new players the game desperately needs.

Thank you so much for the new image! It looks drool worthy. /drool. Small gestures like giving us these previews go a long way to win our hearts.
I see the long standing tradition of "Ugly head gear" is alive and well in the current incarnation of the AO Dev team.
Also, while i understand there is a limit to the amount of polys/verts you want bouncing around on screen at any given time, I personaly feel that you can do better than that.
I'd also be intrested in some of more techy details and limitations MstrBstrd is working with.
(including skeletal animation info and other rigging related subjects, mostly cus im nerdy like that and 3d character design is a hobby of mine.)
I like the helmet reminds me of cyberpunk stuff over the years, with a large internal monitor.

I think the concerne is when you migrate servers, and the president is froob, how will the redemtion of new city/buildings work.
(I'm guessing no measures is taken for this though, and the player needs to make sure the president that receives the voucher and buildings can actually use them)
