I was not a big fan of AO, but I will play when the new good looking version is released!

You don’t like the symmetrical characters with triangular mouths? Meanie.

I’ve heard some rumours that some upgrades to the models are in the pipeline and may happen at some point… probably with the 4th expansion in 2013. I think the graphics are OK but the pre-TBC player models really suck…

I think I never appreciated it enough when it first came out. I was enslaved by EQ so I didn’t get very high up in AO or do anything truly cool. Still, it’s got a wonderful style to it and appeal that many newer MMORPGs lack now.

I am quite sceptical if this will make AO better or worth a try, but well:

Regarding graphics update -> I still wonder that WoW does not get a completely new graphics engine with Cataclysm.

I’m hoping that a new game engine will mean a new camera and mouse controls. Fingers crossed.

Aye, got to agree with you here – I’ve always wanted to give AO a try and thought about starting up a free account when my one month experiment with SWG was over. Now I’m still subbed to SWG and saw that they were working on the update, so I might as well wait.

I’ve never played AO before, but it always seemed like such an interesting game. Hope you blog about it and how it currently feels. Also, the euphemism is stuck in my head now. Thank you.
