Lost eden gave mechs with universal stats that die based on who fires first. They could of taken that idea and improved upon it with mech stats armor special perks etc. No they sold a bunch of crap only with a silly global grind research xp system designed to feed them money by making you waste time on busy work and stupid trinkets that take up valuable gear slots to use.
Dude, they have like 3 people working on AO, a community manager, a bug hunter and a developer. Lost Eden was the culmination of that 1 developers 3 years of hard graft during which he lost his wife as she looked elsewhere for a warm bed, and almost came close to losing his landline phone as he was so overworked he forgot to pay his bill on time. This man should be an inspiration to us all, please let me not hear you sully his name again. Thank you.
The Community Manager's name is Tarib aint it? Who just happens to be the same Tarib who works on Age of Conans forums too.
Anarchy Online Credits
Anyhow, Anarchy Online COULD be resurrected. But would take work.
Maybe it would be easier to use the newer version of the same engine (i.e. the AOC engine) and start from scratch? Either way, Anarchy Online has a LOT going for it. With the exception of the Star Wars franchise, no MMO has managed to couple guns with a "magic" facet and made it work. Given a chance it could actually put a nail in SWG's coffin (if they did it right).
Its just a little dated.
