Indeed.

In all honesty, AO has some innovative ideas, it's just it implements those ideas rather poorly in my opinion.

Eve looks cool, combat looks cool, but it doesnt have an awful lot TO DO in it IMO. I still have an account open in fact, never bothered to close it. The grinding in it kinda sucked, even though it really was a beautiful game.

In other news, Earth and Beyond is being shut down. I played it for 9 months in beta, during which I became one of the more powerful characters on the server. Then there were a series of player wipes that left me kinda ticked off and not lookin forward to grinding back up to lvl 150 again. Then the game was released, and I realized that I'd already DONE everything. I'd killed every MOB in the game, had all the best weapons, and been to every area. I'd also done most of the missions. To cap it all off, the players where wiped again on release. I played it for another month or so after the release, and finally quit. It wasn't being patched with new stuff often enough to keep my attention, and EA broke up the Westwood Devs (who during beta I'd had a hell of a time with, grouping up and killing shit with Devs is awesome) and that was really the last straw for me. It was a cool game, really was, and its kinda sad what happened to it. I left a guild with like 200+ players, as the 3rd guy in command (I had gained quite a bit of rank!), had to leave a lot of friends behind too, so it was definately sad times... ah well, as they say, time marches on, new shit happens

ps- OMG SOMEONE HOOK ME UP WITH A GMAIL!!! (Waves his EVE CD)

You played E&B as well... its too true that EA ruined that game... and just when it looked like it was getting better "We are sad to announce the closure of Earth and Beyond. At this time we just need a bigger development staff for the Anarchy Online team..." It goes like this: EA needs a bigger MMO development budget... they try too mnay projects at once and in the end they all get ruined by a 'lack of resources'

I played AO for a while as an engineer. Was pretty good. I'm sure it'd be better if I got into a guild or something though.

I've played this game for 2+ years, and I must say, it's the BEST MMORPG i've ever played. Evar.

The content is unbelievable, a patch ever half-month or so, and a wonderful community where the DEVs actually listen.

Alright, Alright, I need to try EVE out...

[Mushnator]

Anyone else see those annoying "LEET" pet ads? I hate it when companies try to act like gamers. =/

[JetRaiden]

I might try it. I doubt Ill play it full time though.

I played for 3 months or so and it was enjoyable I mean it was hard but hell.

I played during the first three months too... great customization option too...

In the end it's your choice really...

The "leet" pets are actually in-game MOBs. Don't badmouth AO if you haven't played it mush. Go suck a rock.
