[HAAS] Alpha Omega an MMARRPG?

[ISammael]

ACtually, although i think you meant this as a joke, that's got to be one of the coolest concepts for a game that I've heard in a quite a while. A persistent ARG. MMARRPG. I am going to remember that. If I ever get rich, I'll buy people to make one.

I would agree that no matter what the actual case is here, a seed has been planted in a lot of minds. I've seen very few works of media capable of angering so many people to such levels at one time.

Their servers are getting reamed because of it.

They could have transitioned very nicely between a completed ARG and the RPG, or tied them in and run them parallel - but instead like a teenager on his first date they shot the whole deal way before an appropriate climax was reached.

^Love the analogy

Yeah, their servers are pretty much dead.

For what it's worth, I stuck up a post in the community forums on the new AO site (as ambrosia) to get ppl to introduce themselves. I included a question about what people would like to see the concept turn into.

I figure the site will stabilize eventually. The EHWR/AO people are distributed between the unfiction forums and various other places. Perhaps we'll be able to convene there, and the unfiction guys won't have to put up with us jabbering forever about something that seems over, at least for now.

And hey, if they're really listening, perhaps the AO forums community can talk things over and basically tell the company what they wanna pay for. I've seen crazier things in my life!

Website update

Yeah, I think I'll set up a character too, just to see what eventually happens. When I play RPGs, I usually do the mage thing (both when I played Table-top games decades ago, and now on 'puter games; if you want a great video RPG, try any of the Elder Scrolls games, such as the last one, Oblivion).

RPGs set in the future, oddly enough, are relatively rare. There's no video ones that I know of and the only ones I remember from the old days were Traveller, and also Space Opera (by the late, great Fantasy Games Unlimited, who also did what I think is the best table top RPG of all time, Chivalry & Sorcery, though Arduin Grimoire was also pretty good).

Only problem is, there has to be some way to play online, even through chat, since so few people play these things anymore and no one I know does at all.
