Gaute Godager from Funcom has been interviewed at Warcry about Anarchy Online: Shadowlands:Alothien: There are no mission terminals in Shadowlands, how do players get the equipment, items, and cash they need to survive?
Gaute: The innovative mission game play Anarchy-Online had upon launch, and which has been strengthened several times with team missions and fresh layout, is still a foundation of the AO gaming experience. It is still the easiest way to gain access to equipment and money. It is very difficult to top that, as the pace and reward in the missions are the best it is possible to offer in many ways. The intention of Shadowlands was NOT to offer more loot and experience points than the missions, but to offer a different experience. Having said this, I will answer your question (hallmark of a true politician ;p – sorry, had to say this ,). You gain money through loot, quests and trade skills. You gain money mostly from special money-only items of huge value.
The general idea is to mix missions and Shadowlands, Rubi-Ka and static dungeons, not to replace it. It is an expansion pack after all. |
