FWIW, when AO launched I personally filed 17 bugs ranging from
annoying to duplication exploits, including exact reproduction
steps.
I tried AO not too long ago, and dug out that old email. 14 of
those bugs were still in-game, including the blatent dupe bugs.
I've not tried it again in the very near past, but Funcom's response
time/ability is, IMO, not the greatest. Things like "if you snare
yourself too much, it rolls over the movement counter and you go
superspeed" was in the game for a LONG LONG time.
Excellent concept and a neat game overall, but there were an amazing
amount of "issues" from graphics to server performance/stability,
dupe bugs, etc.
Personally, I'm amazed that they're even still around, though that
could be said for a few different companies. =D
