Hello everyone!

It's now been a week since the game launch, and we have to admit that we're facing more bugs than we expected. However, we're working very hard to fix them and give you the most stable and comfortable experience as soon as possible. We apologize to all the people we couldn't help both in-game and on our forums, we're a small team and we do everything we can with our available means and time.

Despite all the issues currently affecting the game, the community has answered to the release with great enthusiasm and we thank you for all the kind words and encouragements we've received from many of you already. It's a pleasure to make a game for people like you guys! A big thanks to all our wiki editors too, and to everyone reporting bugs and abuses as soon as they found them. Finally, thanks to everyone playing the game fairly and trying to help the new players. Please continue doing everything you can to assist them, as everyone has something to gain out of such productive cooperation.

For the next couple of days, we'll keep focusing on killing as many bugs as we can and improve some of the mechanics that work worse than expected. We'll also bring the tutorial back and reopen dungeons. You can also expect the team recruitment (http://fonline-aop.net/forum/index.php?topic=87.0) to reopen soon.

EDIT: forgot to mention that we also added a Donation button on top right of the main website page. For people wanting to help us, have a look there (http://fonline-aop.net/site/index.php?p=donate).

To conclude, here's a little PvP video recorded by developers the 9th september. That's one of the first (if not the first) big battles on the game.

Nicely taken video. Pretty cool action! Really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to be a part of these battles too.

Nice video!
I regret not being there to take part in that battle, but there have been some pretty great ones since then as well.
I don't think that anyone expected a smooth launch, as even AAA titles that have hundreds of people working on them have rocky launches.
It's actually kind of funny, there is a group of people currently playing this game that for months parroted that AoP was "dead on arrival."
Guess they were wrong.

On the contrary - this game is pretty awesome. Didn't expect it to be so good. I've been almost 24/7 playing for 4th day now :D Dangerous and addictive stuff!

Only donating if it gets me a full set of Tier 3 guns and a PA.

But really, I just donated $26. I enjoy this game a ton, it's worth way more than $26 to me.

This was my first PVP experience in AoP, and it was the most epic battle I ever played in a FOnline game. I made a lot of town controls and new reno ambush, but that was just awesome. Most of the time PVP in FOnline is max 10 vs 10, but that was an endless battle with countless _not really countless, I killed 5 ;)_ ennemies trying to enter the fences. And finally we win, only a few bullets left, no stimpacks left. I  survived! HAHA!
Devs, what you did is great. Even an announced PVP event on another server can gather so many players. The best is, it was "just" a normal zone control. It was a self generated encounter bigger than any organised event, and we have the same every day! WOAW!

LONG LIVE ASHES OF PHOENIX!!!!!!!
