So How many of you will try AI when it comes out?

I for one will not touch it with a Ten foot pool unless its a great expansion and makes Shadowlands totally obsolete... But I would even be afraid to play it if tons of people say its good, due to the fact that alot of people would have you believe SL was good including gaming sites....
So here is alittle poll... Lets see how many of you were scared off by Funcoms last Expansion SL and will never (EVER) go back because to it...Unless they bring back AO and stop trying to be EQ 1.5

You see, every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.-Mr.Smith

The only problem I see with SL is, not much was done to the Rubi-ka side. So that made people flock in droves to the SL side.
Even if AI isn't that "GREAT" in some peoples eyes, it'll at least spread the amount of players equally between SL & Rubi-Ka. That should help immensly with the lag in some SL areas.
SL was horrible.. If you played Pre SL and Pre SWG beta you would have seen a game that was full of People and activity.. Post SL (1month to be exact) the game was slowly dying out, as people were canceling accounts left and right.. I challange any body to actually prove me wrong on this fact...
Hell the forums where full of "WTH did you do to my AO, I quit" post.

I understand what you're saying. I too was one of those that quit after the SL release. I went to play Star Wars Grinder, er I mean Galaxies. But now, I am back in AO and I can tell you at least from my perspective its more full now than it was when I left. Sure, AO will never have the subscription numbers of SWG or EQ, but that doesn't matter. SL & soon AI will do nothing but bring good things to AO. SL sucked at launch, but a year later is very stable, and enjoyable, at least by some of us.

Untill you have to go camp for your specialization quest in order to use that certain nano..
Thats what really killed AO for me.. That and the insane Aggro, hardly anymore Tower battles, and general lack of people...
One more thing Im sure you play on RK1 I never did.. I played on RK2 which im told now is a ghost town..

I'm following AO and AI even if I'm not playing, so far I havn't seen anything in AI that will interest me, so doubt I will try it.
But if the people in my guild are having a blast with AI then I will reactivate and try it.

I have Spec 1 and it wasn't all bad. I haven't even tried for spec 2 yet, but I may have to to cast CI.
Yeah, you really need to see things on RK1. Its alot different. There are a ton of tower battles. There hasn't been a day in the past two weeks where I haven't received a tower outcome message. I usually receive 2 a day. If you haven't been on in a while, its a new chat channel that gives you updates on Notum Wars fights.
I hate the camps in SL. It was like EQ all over again. You remember the bottle necks that they created with that add on? Especially when it first came out it was a nightmare.
And Tower Battles... I remember people complaining because MP's(like myself) and Crats wouldn't come to them just to be buff totems. The stupidest idea ever was when the devs decided and I quote, "some professions are good at PvP and some are not." I guess they never considered that the PvP people would need buffs every now and then.
even if you gave them these buff's they simply would demand more.... and dont be surprised if they demand that you help them fight too...
Well hands up anyone who done spec4 and found even a second of it fun?
No one?
Really?
Not to mention the later garden keys, inferno keys in particular, (these are essential for easy travel, or any travel). It is just a horrible utterly boring grind, and most people will not even be able to do it due to the amount of players it takes.
Sure AI might be fun, but if I have to set foot in SL for even one second I doubt I shall play it, except for beta. hehe. And as far as I hear you need to go to SL still for tha 200+ lvls.

OK not to knock you dude cause you sound like you mean well but
Usuallly 2 tower battle messages a day? LOL I remember when I would see 2 in 15 mins and that was the norm and this was on RK2, Hell my 2 tower sites would get attacked constantly and that kept me on my toes.. When SL was released all my OLD Omni ememys bolted and noone ever came to attack so I took down both sites and left the game as well...Sounds to me that AO is still going down hill.. Two tower battle messages a night on the most populated server is sad..
And your 1st specialization quest..... Lol you can complete that in the newbie backyards... wait till you get on your 2nd or 3rd then you will see the change in MOB behavior as far as damage, aggro, and Drop rate... Last time I played back in Early march.. I spent 7 hours, 7 FREAKING hours camping the SAME SPOT for the second specialization books and ONLY 3 BOOKS dropped and they were the same FREAKING BOOK.

Right now I think AO is doing OK.
Pepople got tired of SL and it's easier to find teams in RK now. BB is full (and laggy) again
Tower wars aren't exactly 2 every 15 minutes, but it is 1 every hour. The clans are winning and have the most XP bonus but that will only give Omni's a chance to have some fun when everyone comes back from a vacation.

I for one love shadowlands, think it is great and some spots are damn beautiful, think one problem is shared with everquest and that is the player base is way spread out, sure everquest has more players but even then many of the old zones are deserted, loio used to be a busting zone with all the bad that brought, now it's empty, overthere is more or less empty to, the few people there are getting pl'ed it seems.
I have preordered AI just as i did sl.
Think it is a bit fun that people blame ao for taking after eq, while eq is taking items from ao, like instanced dungeons, zoning pets.

Yeah SL was a bit of a let down with the way they done the whole camp as you grind deal with it... Unlike AO where you grind but you have fun with all the moving around the land while you grind so you don't really take notice to the grind sessions much.
Considering I really am not one to want to sit around in one area waiting no matter how much people say SL was good and you would end up camping by choice. Which I really did not find that having to camp for a certain book was any real choice heh.

I did spec 4 while I was helping other people getting spec 3/4 and other things from the unred mobs in S unred temple, had alot of fun doing it.
2 lvl 200-205 can do it easy and I could solo without any prob at lvl 210.
I agree that Inferno garden key is abit stupid, but the other garden keys are very easy and quick to get and if you get Penumbra sanc key you have an exit really close to Inferno entrance, so you don't really need that key.
