ACE ONLINE?? lol.. How many times can they remake the SAME mmo?

Haven't we seen this game before? Under say like, 3 different names now?? Why is this stuff still being advertised as being "new"? Closed Beta starts in 2 days?? They are doing a closed beta on this game?? It's been out for years already.. Flysis? Space Cowboy Online? Ace Online?

Can someone explain this stupidity to me?

If its a flight simulator mmorpg im sure its alot more innovative then the other junk most companys have released the past couple of years espically grinders.

 

Anyways its really easy to understand, its greed and therefore the company will not develope the game to be truly imaginative it will either be stolen ideas or something that saids look at me with all this flashy gear im so powerful but in reality its nothing but a shallow reptitive bad/medicore mmorpg.

Its true for movies to and the sad factor that this generations society is loosing more and more imagination havent you noticed the decline in book reading its truly pathetic no offense to you non book readers I personally blame the parents and our politics for that. But if it means anything to you I think this will soon change there seems to be a retro revolution trying to sneak its way into this generation I have noticed it with music and console games lately crossing my fingers though.

I think it's a different company.  As I recall, the game gets tossed between companies every so often, because it's player base generally knows better then to actually use the item mall inside.  So, instead of putting in a more sensible means of making money off the game, the game's current owner just cuts their losses and sells it to someone else.  That owner, being stupid apparently, beta tests it and then releases the game in an attempt to make money... but they will fail.  And they will, in turn, dump the game on someone else.

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is a classic sign of madness.

 

Edited Bit: Also, I have played a bit during the Space Cowboy phase (mostly because it had an awesome name).  It's not bad by any stretch.  Something like Star Fox, really.

ah.. that makes perfect sense.. thanks.. so this is the "item mall structure" failure.. That explains why I see multiple "versions" of some of these korean mmo's.. Goonzu - Luminaries..  The millions of Gunbounds (exageration but there are like 3) and now this..

I played Flysis.. But found out about Space Cowboy through searching.. And now Ace Online is closed "beta" testing. I I found it to be an interesting game, but some of the animations are weird, and I feel that it lacks customization and options.. Perhaps if this would have been like Age of Armor or Zero online..

This steaming pile of turds must be in epsilon testing by this point; its been out for several years now I believe. Its kinda like Kirsty Alley's elephantine ass trying to scratch her way back in to relevancy when really she should just roll off into the sunset...
