I’ve returned to playing after a few years away. Back then, there were already issues like undermesh and flying bases.
But now it seems like every player has a server restart button, and the default PvP experience is players who keep teleporting.
While playing today the server (Official #1986) crashed at least 5 times.
Has Funcom abandoned this game?
Pretty much
Nobody is even arguing against that fact anymore. To be fair, the game is more than 7 years old. I bet nobody at Funcom even dreamed of this game being played that long.
As someone who has played officials off and on for the past few years. You can’t main officials any more. The number of cheaters that can vacuum or mesh into your base just isn’t worth the time. Best way to play is privates now.
Even on pve it’s possible that someone will show up and nuke everything. Though very rare so far at least.
Aoc was launched in 2008 , and it is still have a player base. Last update it received was i think ik 2018 or 2019.
So yea normal busoness for funcom ,
actually 29th May 2014…bugfixes and minor adjustments to loot. Almost exactly 6 years after release.
Last “news” updates was in 2017 (coincidently the same year I stopped playing it)… but the 100 player peak in 2025 certainly won’t care.
So I think we can all agree that there ain’t much coming to CE within the next year(s), not even bugfixes.
you know how much i wish you are wrong….. but sadly i know better too.
Now the server is online, but no one can log in.
When you try to log in, it keeps loading until it times out, and I’m not the only one, since the server has zero players during raid hours.
