Hello everyone!
Development on Ashes of Phoenix has been really intense during this summer, and thanks to your support and feedback, we've been able to bring multiple improvements to the game. Now, it is time for the launch.
Friday the 5th of September, the public server will be officially open for everyone. That means you'll be free to download the game client and jump into Arizona with all of us and start the adventure!
In a couple of days, game rules will be posted on our forums and the installation procedure page (http://fonline-aop.net/site/index.php?p=download) will be updated. We'll post an announcement about it before launch day so you can perform the game installation already if you wish. The exact hour of the launch and some other details will be given at the same time.
This version 1.0 is just the beginning of the Ashes of Phoenix journey though. We have plans for the future weeks and months, and you can expect the game to evolve regularly. We'll talk about this in more detail in a few weeks. You can also expect us to ask your opinions about features of the game, both existing ones and new ones that we plan to introduce. Thanks to those discussions, we hope to develop a better game that corresponds to your desires, and also give you a clearer picture of our vision for Ashes of Phoenix in the future. This game is about combat, exploration, survival and politics, and all those aspects have not been equally developed yet. There is much more to come!
On top of that, in order to allow everyone to take a look at raw footage straight from the battlefield, we will host a livestream on twitch.tv on August 30th, 8-10pm CET, showing live zone control in action.
We hope you'll have much fun playing AoP and we want to thank you for your support which is extremely helpful, boosting our spirit and giving us the energy we need to continue on. We hope you're as excited as we are to start plundering Phoenix with all our friends!
See you soon in Arizona!
-
Very excited ^_^
-
Woooooooooooooo!
-
So do you want me to spread the word and tell as many people as I can? or do you think you are already going to have 100-200+ players?
Also, will we be able to watch the vid from aug 30th later on? I don't know if I will be able to watch it live.
-
yes, it should remain as a normal video and yes, you should tell everyone
-
Out of curiosity are devs going to play? XD or are you going to do normal dev/admin stuff.
-
we have developed the game in order to play it. You wouldnt bake a cake for yourself and then not eat it, record a song and not listen to it or make a map and not try it out.
-
Waw, so many new members of the forum today. It's good to see you all! I hope AoP will bring you an interesting and refreshing experience.
I see many people have really original nicknames, it seems some of you might be interested in roleplaying too. I hope the world setting will give you opportunities to do it. As a player, I can say that's something I really like to do, and I'll make sure we also introduce mechanics that will encourage such gameplay.
Welcome everyone!
-
Woo, Bring it on! I cant wait to wander the Arizona Wastes. Nothing but a rifle, bottle of whiskey and a bag full of caps.
See you all there.
-
whiskey or rotgut?
I don't know about the pvp aspect but I'll give it a go. Ever since the unfortunate demise of black isles stuidos bethesda has been more miss than hit on fallout -.-
-
Looking forward to it, I'm glad I found out about this.
-
Haven't played Fallout 2 as of yet but I got it free during the GOG giveaway and saw this and I just had to sign up and try :) Big Fallout 3 fan though. Hope to see you all in game!

Hope you'll enjoy it. The only game I've played through more than fourty times.

I've told about 50 people about it, 20 or so sounded really interested
When the game comes out, I'll tell more people, Maybe those people will tell people and people will be all over the peopling place

Wow, really?
I posted to craigslist, noone gave a rats ass XD
and I told maybe a few people who were interested, but 20 people? >_> you should be getting paid.
-
I need fallout 2 to play aof I cant just download the full client?
btw good job
-
Yes you need fallout 2 for the mater.dat and critter.dat files.
-
Yes you need fallout 2 for the mater.dat and critter.dat files.
Am not very familiar with the FOnline engine itself, will both of those files from the other clients (of the other servers) suffice? As far as I know, those files are not usually changed, but still, better to know this in advance ^^.
-
If you have played on 2238 or reloaded? you probably have the files already.
-
oh alright thanks dude you really helped me looking forward to playing this
-
You can find out? where to download the client, or it has not yet been laid out? September 5th will be handing open? ;)

I think client will be available 5th September.
-
WTF just noticed i really have time to test this friday evening, cant wait to kill or play along with you guys ;D
-
kill or play along
Why not do both? :)
-
the logical 'or' implies both *informatic wicked grin* ;)
i really need to watch the records from the the last event and i hope my experience from f1/f2, fonline reloaded will help me find into this game :)
AOP wiki isnt that much detailed right now, hope it will be in future when everyone can participate :)
-
I will definetly try this. When exactly will server start ? 0:01 5th sep ?
I'v taken a day off

I tell people who are interested, For example, Everyone in Fallout reloaded is talking about AoP, I've told a few there all about it, but alot already knew. (There are alot of new players, Saying they are only playing Fallout reloaded to learn the basic game mechanics, or freshen up their skills for the AoP release, Alot of older players say they will atleast try it, and some even say they plan to become a player for sure)
I also mention it to small gaming communities, Like the Byond community. If you get the word out in a small community, And one person likes it, there is a good chance he can talk a friend into trying it out... So yeah... thats where i've been spreading the word, Small gaming communities
-
so excited for tommorow
-
The hype abouth this is so high :D, for sure Reapers gonna play this, cant wait.
Anyone knows the hour when the server will be open?
-
So tomorrow we can play ;D looking forward to it!!!
-
My body is ready.
-
GL Reapers :) im gona test it to
-
Howdy fellas! I'm here to kick ass & chew bubble-gum, and I'm all out of gum... Scumbags be aware 8)
-
What time do you want to open a server tomorrow?
-
What time do you want to open a server tomorrow?
Right when you arent looking.
-
I am very excited and cant wait Tomorrow ........
-
How great is it that someone showed me this project 2 days before it's intended release date :)
Amazing looking effort guys, looks like i'll have a new addiction for a while :D
The no turn based is harsh for me, but I will just have to nut up and get used to it because from the videos wiki info and forum buzz, this looks like a real unique homage to the fallout franchise, and with the obvious effort that has gone in to designing a whole new map and surrounding lore, I know I personally will put the effort in to explore every corner of this new wasteland out of sheer respect.
Thanks so much for working to keep projects like this a reality, the fact you aren't being directly paid for such efforts puts you in line for sainthood in my books.
-
Looking forward to giving this a try, hopefully it'll be as fun as all the other FOnline's I've played
-
there are others?
-
time of release?
-
17:32 05.09.14
-
Actually, no. Please don't throw information when you don't have any.
We're bit late on the schedule, but the server should be online around 8pm gmt+2.
We're still busy with some remaining details on the client though, we'll provide the link as soon as we can.
-
Can fallout.dat be used with AoP like with TLA2 or Fonline2?
If not, will be buying fallout pack tonight. My CD has a crack in it. :(
Forgot about those 2 files. :P
-
I'll get back sooner from party because of it....gues it's worthy
:D
-
i WANT THE GAME ASHYUDJASHBDN
-
You can use the fallout.dat from fonline2. You need to edit the dats.cfg and instead of master.dat and critter.dat use fallout.dat

Awesome!!
Thanks.
-
so the game need game fallout1 + fallout2 files master.dat+citter.dat?
-
so the game need game fallout1 + fallout2 files master.dat+citter.dat?
master.dat plus critter.dar OR fallout.dat.
They should be easy enough to find, you may already have them.

-
It's ok !
-
I'm so excited for this! I hope its an amazing game. :D
-
Roughly 5-7 hours left guys :P
-
<- So butthurt... Weekends are the only time I'm 100% busy (not even staying home) and this promising server starts during that very time-line *teary-eyes*, why do you have to be so cruel.
Guess I'll have to adapt faster than others then ;).
-
Roughly 5-7 hours left guys :P
He said " 8pm gmt+2." So if I'm correct that's like 3 hours from now if it comes up on time that is
-
Ah I guess that what the +2 stood for hehe ::)
-

It tells you how many numbers to +/- from the GMT time, It's hard to explain
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/
That'll tell you a bit about it and it'll let you convert your time to GMT +2
-
Can anyone explain if the client (John porno) gave to people to test server on beta will work after first startup or do i have to re-download 400mb client file?
-
i think re download new client its better.
-
Logic would dictate that the dev server you got is different, but maybe I am wrong.

The best thing will be to download the new one.
We will rebuild the aop.zip file with the last improvement, that mean at least about 425Mo to download in order to update.
The full Client will be around 450Mo. :)
-
Hello!
So in what time is the server open?
-
Hello!
So in what time is the server open?
Shangs' words "We're bit late on the schedule, but the server should be online around 8pm gmt+2."
About 2 hours from now?
-
i think they are not to sure about time ......
-
Who cares guys, its today !!!! ;D
-
i think re download new client its better.
I can't just run the updater?
-
Definitely not. To everyone having an old client: delete it. It is useless to keep it.
-
Hmmm..... I don't see the forum clock. Do I have to set it to visible or something? Or is there no forum clock here? I dunno how to check how many more hours there are until release :D
-
Just convert 8pm GMT +2 to yours.
It's 6:38 pm in GMT +2 right now.
-
pls dont talk about time anymore.......
-
1h17min ;D
-
1h17min ;D
now your talkin :)
-
Hey, what's that on the net?
Is it an FPS?
Is it a MOBA?
NO! ITS FONLINE AOP.
Wooooooooo Lets do it!
-
Gah! I'm so antsy! My main concern is once the client is launched, how many people will quit due to harshness. That was a big problem on the other servers. Hopefully this one will be a bit more forgiving.
On a different perspective though, people quitting is just a way to slowly weed out the whiners and wimps who cant take a real challenge. The server could be better off that way....
Well I'm probably thinking too far ahead. I'm just trying pass some time here hehehe. About an hour!!

FOnline Ashes of Phoenix
6 minutes ago

-
Looks like we will have atleast 100 people online in the first few minutes of release
-
Well I want to go out and eat at the Pizza Parlor with my dudes, but I don't want to miss the launch... Well I'm sure they will understand that this is more important. ;D
-
You can go out with your friends, don't lose your time in front of the pc for nothing, client will arrive soon, server in probably 2 more hours or so.
-
Ah OK! Great thanks for the heads up. See everyone in-game!
-

Don't listen to him, Sit here and refresh the page over and over for the next 2 hours, Like the rest of us.
-

sorry, the hype is so high, cant wait
-
Like the rest of us.
*Whimpering noises* I'll have to wake up in like 3 hours to go to work, still refreshing ;D.
-
Can't Wait glad I heard about this kinda late cuz the wait is already killing me but looks amazing so far guys great job thank you so much for some more Fallout content. good to see the fans doing something besides making trolls for the next fallout title!

That one shiny giant download button ;)
-
Hello all !
It seems there is a little delay.. Let give some more time to the dev team ! Come on join us on the irc channel to wait all together the release ! ( for irc info : http://fonline-aop.net/site/index.php?p=talk )
-
I suggest we all do it with torrent and than seed for others, rather then slowing down the server with DL's.
-
I tried to download it from direct link and my Comodo browser marked it as a dangerous.
So is there something in it?
-
a Game which you can be addicted of, so it's kind of dangerous.

Probably just safety switch because it has executable file in it.
-
Hope you'll enjoy it. The only game I've played through more than fourty times.
Wow, that's quite an accomplishment. I've played for an hour or so and I realize I need to learn so much about this game...I did kill some stuff though and gain a level :) But am now out of bullets and got lots of random little things to figure out. I wish I knew what half of the stuff in my inventory even is haha.
-
Can you add links for downloading master.dat and critter.dat
i dont have it :'(
-
Sorry but we can't provide those files for legal reasons.
-
Fallout 2's like 8$, you can buy it online and download right now. comon bro :P
or learn to use ****** torrents.
