still waiting for the Red Alert 2 & Tib Sun next announcement!
there is a lot of drama going on in YT & Twitter
some people talks about not getting excited ects...
This game made a wonderful memories, it got released in 9 different regions, including Middle East, Brazil, North America, Russia, Taiwan, but the servers shut down in the end of 2012, because they made a sequel known as " Asda Evolution "
but it was downgrade from the old version of the game, and just shut down after 1 year of it released around 2015..
______________________
the community right now found 5 version of the client of this game ( Taiwan - English - Russia - EU - Arabic )
but 3 versions of the game still missing ( Korea - Japan - Brazil )..
For anyone who actually wonder about the state of the game, and if they should return, these pictures may be the answer!
____________________________
the game is very a live and growing, there is a lot of vendors in different places, i didn't record every spot
1- there is active GMs and event and activity
2- the Steam version works, i return before 1 months, and now I'm grinding and have fun time playing the game
3- the community is great, i got nice help from everyone, very positive people, and the game in general is very fun ( these picture take from NA - ISya )
i watched Virtua fighter anime around 2010 and didn't know during that time it was originally from the fighting game series... the anime is so famous in our region, and i was very happy to discover the community. ( i discover the games in 2018 )
_______________
it was one of my favorite anime and rewatched it serval times.. now recently after the announcement of the Virtua fighter the crossroad, i was a bit confusing about the new characters
because i was really thinking and hoping for the game not to be fully focus on the Pvp or online, and create a real story for the original character first ( because in the anime the story was real fun )
_______________
also the art style seems change from Virtua fighter 4 to Virtua fighter 6, now it's feel too realistic, with possibility of blood, which I'm not really complain about, but i feel weird because i loved the anime and was hoping for VF4 art style or anime looking style
i feel that I'm a bit nostalgia for the anime, anyone grow up with it ? and what did you think about the post
_______________
my favorite characters " Lion, Jakie, Lau chan " Pai and Akira also fun : )
Do they care about the goalkeepers and understand the difficulties they face?
Or are they ignored during the match?
And do they listen to the goalkeeper's instructions about the wall and other things?
what is your story about GK
these old forums still running since the early days of the internet, and yet still active and has tons of users, more than you think!
the google you know today doesn't show all the results, and usually these websites need VPN linked to Taiwan or China to work..
and there is other websites that don't work or get results of unless you download the very old version of certain websites or download third party tools so it can shows up
the old forums of Taiwan and China works differently, some of the websites need Taiwan number to post on and it's so hard to sign up as foreign..
看板《OnLineGame》線上遊戲討論板 - Disp BBS
Check this forum for example, i think Disp Works without VPN
very weird underground systems of old websites and forums
i was the one who get bullied for my entire life in school, i asked my self why i don't have any friend ? why this is happen to me ? growing up now i realized everything...
_______________________
in my country or town, the schools locations always in neighborhood areas, it's small town, so the people in that area knows each other wells..
when someone new coming to them, they will be against him, no matter what he do, he will be always looked as " that new weird guy "
honestly, this is the start... when everything in my school start to F up...
_______________________
the people who bullied me, actually harassment the teachers by touching them... no matter if it's a woman or a guy or an old man....
the people who bullied me actually start smoking at 12 years old...
the people who bullied me actually the type of people that not caring about other feelings... they do everything they could to make each other lay down so hard...
and i was the one who asked to be like this, and if i refused, i'll threated like a shit, nerd, little boy..... ( honestly, i have hundred of stories about the exact abuse they were done... including play with teachers and make sexuality jokes.. )
_______________________
i went crazy, because i couldn't understand, why any adults will let this happen ?
and you know what teachers in my school used to do ? when a bullied boy, stand up against them... in that situation, they will start to try to " sLoVe tHe pRoblem ".....
in that age, all i got to do is doing the same thing as they doing.. ( which in halfway through, i just give up and say no ).....
_______________________
i live in third world country, there is no such a law, there is no such a camera, everything go in silent mode inside these schools.. i just cant get over how old teacher start smiling when the other students touch them, or make that ugly sexual jokes... i'm still feeling ill...
because from an early age, i just escape to the internet world, and this is how i learned the english without going to a single class, it's by going for a thousands and thousands hours and days.. in internet world...
i'm a grown man, living in third world country.. my story start at 2014 era when i was teenager, i did have a chance to life in Turkyie for almot a year.. during that time, i realized a lot of deep truths.....
i was complaining and hate my self in my third world country, but didn't understand the reason behind it, i asked my self, why i'm spending too much time on internet ?
why i don't enjoying my life, why i don't have any friend ?
_____________________
when i came to Turkyie, i discover a whole different world, during that time, i didn't touch the phone anymore... some of basics stuff that all EU people have, was a whole different of enjoyment for me...
the big gardens with nice trees, the clean streets, amount of places that you can go by just " walking " it was place full of life..
then i come back to my country in 2015 to realize the a whole issue.. ( i might give the picture of my town in comment section )...
i start to discover the world since then, i know now all the names of Europe countries, locations, language.. and during that time, it was one of my big dreams to life there for ever... and still..
_____________________
unfortunately, year by year passed, still live in the same place, and the live start to effect me, the people here, is very toxic, and weird... and just can't be trusted at all..
and this isn't about something like " i'm the alone guy and can't make a friend " because this isn't the case... let me give you an example, it's look like you want to try make friends, in that weird hood, full of people doing random gangs signs, drugs, have all type of guns.. you just can't join them unless you will be the same as them...
during all this time from 2015 to this date, i saw the mental health problem for the majority of people, and my self, i admits that i have mental health problems too..

anyone want to share any new games you are excited for?
Unfortunately, game development has become very different, In 1990, you could release a game with a cost of $10,000. but Now, this industry start to cost millions of dollars, and this is why MMOs is no longer has spot light, because it's the hardest type of games to make..
____________________________
Bandai Namco the company owner of Tekkin and anime IP such dragon ball canceled their new MMO " Blue protocol " after years of development and wasted of money resources, sold the IP to other company after..
Shroud of the avatar from Richard Garriott, he is one of the legends in the gaming industry by creating Ultima Series from 1990 era.. unfortunately, he launched a Kickstarter for his MMOs, and gain +15 million for his project and worked on it for 10 years, but it didn't succussed, some people called him a scammer because of his failure, but i can't say that... he is really old right now, and he was trying to engaging with the new gaming industry, but it's just a lot of pressure for someone to do so, the MMOs is just too expensive games to work with...
____________________________
This is why, you don't see any new MMO at the moment, no big company want to take such a risk for that, AOC project has suffered from drama & hype and the pressure i noticed a lot of old people who were working on art style and some models, and maybe even they are in this subreddit right now, it was really hard for him to see the complain and the internet drama...
and unfortunately, the drama behind the scenes between Steven and Jason and the workers, with a lot of hype and nervous to make everything done, all that is the reason why this is happening... and this things happen to all companies, don't forget Cyberpunk 2077 drama, and all games fallout stories..
some people talk about that they didn't touch any other MMO after AOC, they had fun with it, for your opinion, what is the best part of AOC and couldn't find in any other MMOs?
it's actually very possible for this game to open again, since the drama of lawsuit may end by Jason & steven being friends again ?
there is discord with 150k members, and reddit with thousands of players.. so this isn't very impossible, so from your experience in early access game, what did you want from Devs to do next ?
is there any bug, or any complains so far? and how did you see the future of the game?
i personally prefer Ra2 over Wc3, from Gameplay to art design..
what did you think ?
