First of all Crock I have to say that you do indeed bring up some valid points about AO, negative as they all may be. I don't care what you say or wither they use paragraphs in forums or not, the community in AO is the best of any MMORPG out right now. That fact can not be disputed. What I don't understand is why you are constantly trolling the AO forums and trying to bring it down. Don't you have anything better to do? If you are so experienced with AO you must have played it for an extended period of time, and if you played something for that long it must have appealed to you in some manner. FFXI was my first MMORPG and I played it for hours on end, but in the end I felt it was a huge time sink. Do you see me trolling the FFXI forums attempting to bring down the game and prevent any new people from playing? NO, and you know why? Because I wouldn't have played FFXI that long if it didn't have any redeeming qualities, but end the end FFXI "didn't do it for me". The point is that every MMORPG on the market today has the same flaws as AO. But judging by your statements in this forum you Crock are a power leveler! You spend every second of your MMORPG experience attempting to reach the next level and you forget that you are supposed to be having fun along the way! Who cares if Hecklers give the best exp or drop the best items? Fighting Hecklers is not the only way to gain levels or credits!!! Crock you chose to make this game a "grid" and right now you are choosing to spend your time bringing down a game which you apparently spent so much time playing. I mean what drew you to AO in the first place? We already know why you quit. Final points:
1) AO has the best community of any MMORPG on the market!
2)You don't have to level the "most efficient" way possible!
3)If Crock played this game for so long, he must have had something he liked about the game!
Originally posted by crock Hecklers give ur exp also they have MUCH phat lewt to share with you.
Crock hasn't played ao to any extent, which is very obvious to anyone who has. Take the above quote for instance. Heckler's simply *don't* have a phat loot table. They drop ingots which give money, some breed specific weapons which are not considered phat, and crap. There are a few named hecklers (not hunted for xp) which drop tradeskill items that are not considered phat either. Crock is simply full of crap, like always.
Other examples of things he has said that is also crap is "there are only 8 members in teams" (there are 6), and claiming to have gotten the inferno garden key after 1 month of SL play (noone got that key until 2-3 months, and even at present it is very rare and only for long time players in large guilds).
My guess is he played a few weeks of the open SL beta, and then bought the game and stood around levelling on hecklers for a month before giving up. Its either that or ebay.

My guess u r brainless and arrogant this cant be changed with new patch
Originally posted by anomalon Not only are there plenty of players online on AO- there are enough that many areas are constantly camped, and under alot of pressure from competing teams for loot rights,etc. Have you ever been to the Temple of the Three Winds, for example, a static dungeon for levels 20-60? The lands are huge, much like the heartlands in the U.S., where you may run for hours across open fields ,seeing only a few people, but just go into a metropolitan area, or trade area- in fact, last month for the 3rd anniversary party, the servers wereo packed that some areas couldn't be entered- tghe nightclubs- 3 on each dimension, were full with 5 or 6 instances! Here's an idea- check the game's own message boards to see if it has many "active" members...AO has always had it's critics, and we get to hear that it's "ruined" after every patch, but if you ask me, it's going as strong as ever- the training groun ds are full to overflowing - new events and features are thriving- and AO has one of the most thoughtful and intellectual communties to be found today. It's not an easy hack and slash, thoufgh, my 12 year old son isn't able to enjoy it because it's too complex for him..for me, it's the ONE game that has held my interest year after year.. any new games would have to be looking at AO as a serious role model for building and maintIaining a working, breathing world....

WORKING BREATHING WORLD!?
Wtf are you smoking? you should try some other mmorpgs i think, if u actually believe that AO is 'working as intended'... And who's breathing btw? the static fantasy mob spawns? the static hecklers? the static 20 minutes dynacamps? the static merc camps? the static static statics? How about those nice dynamic loot-tables?
The only thing thats complex about AO is the skill system (but thats been nerfed with the 1200+ 1/3-cap) and the implant system (also nerfed with symbiants, its just to control the character creation with lvl reqs and no options). AO is turning into all the other clones with no choosable character options and unbalanced gameplay... shesus the professions gets nerfed every other day ffs, one day soldiers are uber and today they suck, same with advs, engis, crats nerfed beyond comparison, nts are just meaningless. Docs, mas, advs are the only ones working somewhat now...
AO might have had a vision to be a great game once, but thats all gone, now its just a campa-thon of various degrees...
