Jesus. How can an online game exist for 13 years?



Something has to be said about its longevity.

It obviously still has enough subscribers to be making at least a small profit, or else WB would just shut it down. Yet, patches are still coming out on a mostly monthly basis, and quite a bit of dev time is being put in. New races, new skill systems, etc.

I want to play AC again but all my friends are long gone and the community was what made me have so much fun.

This thread begs the question: do the "women" of ACF use a funnel to get that much sand in their vagina or do they just slide around the beach like an angry Roomba? -deadcactus-

I wonder how old the hardware that's running the servers is now... lol...

I'm guessing probably Windows 3.11, 400mhz, 16 mb ram, and etc...

Well, they moved the servers from the West Coast to the East Coast a couple of years ago, and have "upgraded" them since.

But they seem to have only gotten worse lol.

did they ever fix the crazy lag spikes DT kept having that the other servers didn't get? that was one of the main reasons i got tired of trying to play on that server. i don't think anyone ever said what was causing that but i remember there being a bunch of speculations about the cause...people being more spread out than on the normal servers or the amount of pvp going on caused it or that people with speed hacks were causing it. i just remember the lag sucked bad.

I'm not sure. It was a huge part of why I quit a couple of years ago though.

Yes, they did fix that. It's still a laggy game, but every server is. Only sometimes in really populated areas like 150, does lag make me want to crush wabbits with bricks.

Hmm, all this chatter about AC and the template revamp today is making me wonder if I should return to the game even if it's only temporary... Just to scratch that itch... lol...
