I played AO B4 for 8 months and I loved it but I thought "hey, if this game is not so popular, it might suck"
So.......after leaving AO I tried Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Asherons Call 2, EVE and Saga of Ryzom. (not to mention I played EQLive, DAoC,AC1, and FFXI before AO)
Now I realise AO is the best mmorpg (IMO) and want to play it again.
COnsidering I played AO Classic, which expansion should I buy? SL or AI?
On which server should I play?
Thats all, thx
Comments
I played it for a few months last year but it was reall buggy and it still seems to be : /
Sure, its buggy, but at least fun.
Heres what I think of the previous games:
UO.- Great game, the community is good (except the 1337 ppl trying to RP), RP is nice, its laggy, only 5-7 quests, unbalanced PvP, the gameplay is very good, you can do whatever you want, decent 2D graphics (3D sux)
SWG.- Laggy, full of bugs, char customization is great, eyecandy, extremely unbalanced PvP, customer service sux
AC2.- Good community, great graphics, only 3 races???, good quests, unbalanced PvP, monthly events
SoR.- AWESOME graphics, good sound, massive monster attacks in towns are really cool, laggy, bugs, its incompleted
EQ Live.- Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooring
DAoC.- RvR is grrreat!. But playing solo feels like playing EQ Live (yuck!)
AC1.- Good gameplay , excellent RP, monthly events, horrible graphics, kinda difficult
FFXI.- Chocobos and Moogles yay!, nice graphics, you can chat witth Japs!, you MUST have a party, very difficult to level, Gil........very difficult to get (unless you are a high lv Thief)
Once in a while there's a wave of bugs, but it's still a very bug-free game compared to most others. If you're gonna get just one of these expansion, I suggest SL.
A lot of ao quitters talk crap about it, but that's just the spineless folks who found it too hard when it came out (yes I liked it when the mobs were at their worst too
), and who come back for two weeks now and stand and grind and then quit saying it's boring. SL is for exploring, and there are a lot of stunning sights, fun quests and cool gameplay to be had if you stay a way from the heckler grind. I'm a solo player for the most part btw.
Welcome back!
Ok then Ill buy ShadowLands, but yiu didnt mention the server.
Oh and........where should I play more? Rubika or Shadowlands?
if u r stupid enough to return
3 servers only
rk1 rk2 rk3
shadowlands isnt a server
rk1 most populated maybe 1k ppl 90% of them in big guilds
rk2 the half population
rk3 is german server ..less populated
dev teams is one of the worst in mmorpg history..they think ..they can do anything with addicted ppl rofl
rk2 i think is the best chois...less 1337 doods ets..and maybe u can find the guild)
or rk 3 even
rk1 is for twinks and big guilds
but anyway eq2 is out..or even wow..why bother with old dying games
cuz I hate EQLive and I love Warcraft but only as a RTS
Who said SL is a server?
I just wanted to know if SL is good enough to leave RK forever
And no crock.........I wont kill Hecklers
PS: Why do you hate AO?
None, and trust me in two weeks after playing you will know why....
And your Welcome.

Crock is exactly what his name says. He is crock.
First, Every Server easily has far, far, more than 1k players LOL!
Next, the AO game itself is about buffing/twinking. AO has the most unique buffing system out of every MMORPG ever made. RK-1 tends to have more veteran players. With RK2, and RK3 being more newer servers respectivly.
Last, the only MMORPG out right now that is definatly dying is... AC2 with its roughly 6k players.
All other current MMORPGs have 50k, 100k, 200k, and more players. UO for example still has between 100k to 200k players and it is one of the oldest MMORPGs. EQ2 and WoW are not yet turning in a true profit. If they make it past the 1 year mark while keeping a minimum of 100k accounts, then they can be said to be successful.

Anarchy Online has a pretty in depth charcater customization with how you allocate your IPs.
The gameplay has been, in my opnion, lacklucter.
The only reason *why* I keep an account active with AO is for the community.
I listen to GSP
The community, thus far, has proven to be the best out there!
WoW is already forming it's own neat community...it's just a shame that you can't really taunt somone after they try to gank you and fail miserably
...seeing as they do not understand a word you are saying.
20 Night Elf Hunter takes down a 24 Undead Warlock...who's your biotch nooow!
...anyways getting off topic...Shadowlands for sure...You want that Tier armor!
Especially if you are a Shade! ....assless chaps...oooooooo...
Oh and Crock....*throws a grammer book at you hitting you for 9999 mellee damage*
Sucrecia
i dont need english grammer
use it only to play games
and i think is more than enough)
btw ur fixer sucked hard core)
Yes, I have heard HZ is either about to declare bankruptcy, or already has. But it did not fail because of being a bad game, or not having enough players. It is hurting because of gross missmanagement.
AC2 on the other hand has been out for close to 2 years. It started with roughly 50k players. Then by 6 months after release nose-dived to 12k players. It is now dead in the water with roughly 6k players. The profits from AC1 are what is keeping AC2 on lifesupport. Why did 90% of its players leave after it was 6 months old? Because the games already out were far better, including AC1.
I do not think there will be an AO2. AO is approaching the 5 year mark, which is the intended shelf life of a MMORPG. It it reaches 5 years, then it will be running itself aka recouped soo much true profit it has no worries about dying.... even it it drops to 10k accounts. Funcom currently has no plans for an AO2.
SWG took the best parts from UO and AO. Technically, in many ways (not all ways) SWG is UO2 and AO2.
