What do you do the most in AO? [Pre-Release Poll]

I have just noticed that I didn’t include a “…to have fun.” option under the “Grinding…” category, hence why there’s so many individuals that voted for “…to play Arcane Odyssey.”, the worst possible option (playing AO for the sake of it means that you’re hopelessly playing it despite not enjoying it anymore). I’ll add a poll here to allow people to clarify: poll Sorry if there were any misunderstandings caused by this oversight, I couldn’t think outside of my perspective on grind.

[Mithridatise]

Please only vote in the category that you have first voted for (Grinding…/PKing…).
If you want to see the results of the polls that you haven’t touched due to this restriction, use the ‘Results’ button.

@DullBoy, @Arcstasis.
Forget about this.

@Mithridatise

PKing…

by getting jumped by others when i just loaded in

[zeppop]

these next few months gonna be crazy for me

[MagicDragon16]

Mostly just whatever I feel like. I’ve been working on a Tidecliff build for my clan (me. just me) and I spend a lot of time just decorating it. I also like to wait by bosses to help out new players, and just help out in general

[Zachacat0305]

I be farming renown for them gravy and as uniforms

[amaranna]

Bounty hunting, clan building and dark sea

[ThatAsianInTheCorner]

not playing it and instead shitposting in related communities
like i’m doing right now

[Walyn]

I usually goof off with potions or silly builds like max destruction/attack size/speed/whatever character build comes to mind, or grind to get funds to fund more silly builds both equipment and character.

@Mithridatise

for other things. (reply necessary)

because i hate myself

[Ultimateblaze75]

Mostly I just end up roaming around seeing what I can find and what I can get up to. I have no particular goals currently.

[LiterallyHermes]

i mostly hang around my clan claim and hunt evander these days
Soon though, i’ll start building a Tidecliff base (hopefully with a circular wall) and hunt Nimbus minibosses (after release). I’ll make an oracle file for all the spirit weps, and ofcourse explore the new islands. I’ll be saving the long questlines for co-op with my friends.

[LegitCorner]

I only really do PvP and Treasure Charts nowadays…
Hoping someday I’ll have enough infamy to get to Superior Clan (we’ve been at 130k for maybe 4 months now)

[IJustComplain]

Lately I kinda just play AO for the sake of playing AO. The game happens to me as opposed to me playing the game, if it makes sense.

I mostly treasure chart as a result. Not for items (yes and no) but because it’s actually relaxing and somewhat engaging.

[Mithridatise]

That’s what the ‘…to play Arcane Odyssey.’ reason is for, so you should pick that if anything.

[fartman1314]

i play arcane odyssey

[alexthecat]

PKing and trolling by using giant poison gas build when im bored

[TheFightingLady]

I really like ship combat despite how ass it can feel at times for some reason so I farm ship kills

I’ll add a poll here to allow people to clarify:

With the prior context in mind, did you pick the option “…to play Arcane Odyssey.” as it was the closest to “…to have fun.”?

• Yes
• No
