From the fourms or the “welcome to our club” thing

Retiring from Roblox

Think it’s just about time I move on. Not enjoying the site like I used to and all the games, including AO, have pretty much just bored me. Not sure if it’s me finding better alternatives or just being too used to it at this point. I had fun though, plenty of it, but recently it’s sort of just died down considerably. I’ll probably stop using the forums too so don’t @ me for welcomes anymore as that’s recently been my primary reason for even hopping on the forums. I might pop up once in a while …

Thats crazy

The man retired. Besides, why leave welcoming new folks to just one person?

[LichdaDerp]

This doesn’t feel the same, no offense

[LichdaDerp]

[nerozio]

All the best to him

WoM Remake Playtesting Information

I’m fairly certain that most people interested in playing the remake have already been given access, but for anyone else interested: Either comment on this post or send me a DM with your roblox username and I’ll let you know when I’ve given you access to the game. Do note that it’s far from done, and won’t be for the foreseeable future. Many features and designs are missing, bugged, low-quality, or incomplete as of right now. Make sure to read the controls after you spawn in (it’s on the spaw…

WELCOME TO OUR CLUB

[OOFUS]

Here’s the thing: Just remaking WoM wouldn’t be enough. It would still suffer from the same issues (Cultures, lag, lack of travel options, weak story, etc.)
What makes games like AR work is that they are able to keep the core identity of AA whilst dramatically improving upon it. To get WoM it work, many key aspects would need to be reworked or outright removed, such as every single NPC being fully interactable.

[OOFUS]

AA was discontinued not because it was a bad game, but because it was broken beyond repair.
WoM was discontinued even though it still functioned perfectly, because vetex foresaw problems in the core design of the game that would get worse as development progressed

[LichdaDerp]

Honestly I doubt needs a complete story. It was a story where you made your own, albeit poorly done. Maybe more like “storylines” where stories unfold around you. Or have the story not be a “save the world!” one.

[OOFUS]

But still, the lag from hundreds of randomly generated dynamic NPCs in just 1/16th of the map is a problem that would get unbearable after even just 1/4th of the continent is complete
