last reviews i saw was april & may 2001 lots changed since [Posted on 2003-03-25]
upon log in enjoyed toon creation and spending points how i wanted them to be spent.
i enjoyed the transport to the planet
newebe playground was usualy over camped over crowded even in wee hours of the night or early morning
the guards still run all through new be islies and "help kill"
there are still folks that yell at u if you take there kill
i found the learning curve to be very steep in this game
after bashing a while went to the city and started with missions.
i liked u could pick your own and see what the reward was that was a cool feature
i then went through the leveling process which seem to advance at a decent pace.
i did not find the people online at the time i was, to be friendly or group heavy/team looking
in fact i didnt have a singal person wave or say hello
i did eventualy have someone come up to me lead me to surgery clinic get inplants and another weapon ( latter i described the yellow text to my kiddo and found out it was an in game advisor) once i got the implants and armor and weapon it was allot easier to figure things out.
the loot was readily dropped and sometimes useful
oh nice thing about missions, they were usualy albe to do well and no chance of other folks 'steal killing
i did not find the areas to "open hunt or static dungeons so not sure if they are in yet??????
i still feel like a noob with this game and tried doing massive research but found few sites that had helpful information on how toos. Not going to buy another guide esepcaily since most likely going to be droping it
time played 1 month
i would suggest other rpgs at this time
1 n 64 perfect dark nice first person shooter
2 counter strike
its free no montly fee and its just runing around killing other folks in teams

Great MMORPG... for FREE! [Posted on 2005-03-18]
This is a great game for a free MMORPG. When it first came out, it was a decent MMORPG (It was all about the Everquest and DAOC back when the game was released). But now, since it's free, everyone should download it and play it. If ya like it then get the expansions and stuff, if you don't then just uninstall it. Very simple. Most of the pros and cons have been said by the spotlight reviewers and I'm just informing the MMORPG fans that doesn't like monthly feesthat this game will be free without any purchase and there will be no monthly fees until I think about end of January 2006. While it's free, I recommend you guys should download and play it. On the other hand, Knight-Online and Runescape is also a great game to check out. While these aren't World of Warcraft or City of Heroes, they are very worth it for free.

sol33t, but needs work [Posted on 2006-03-05]
stunning visuals, cars that fly, like - it can be crowded in towns, fortresses, usually the player cities are empty - everybody too busy shooting each other to party i guess

the games is not for underage, but definitly needs work in the social areas, and i was dissapointed with the difficulty of access to craft - but mebbe its me - that said, i'm not giving up on it just because it can turn into a slogging match

i only didnt give it five stars cause it does need sooooo much work.

if you can take the heat, bring your good graphic card, at least 1/2 gig of ram, and join the midnite party! (note - some may not enjoy the tunes - can be a bit raw)

The Community Makes It... [Posted on 2006-04-25]
Although the game has been around for years, I only got into Anarchy Online in late 2004. This was not too long after they started their free trial. I am still holding onto my free subscription. Truth be told, the gameplay mechanics on the lowest level are no different than any other MMO. However, AO adds a serious layer of depth with the implant and tradeskilling systems. Unfortunately, most players don't get to experience much of this. They are typically put off by the somewhat dated graphics or technical difficulties. But despite the claims, I have had very little technical issues with the game since the start. I think a lot of negative opinions still remain from the poor launch the game had; the game has improved tenfold since launch. Slowdown is to be expected when there are people from all over the world on the same server. However, the exciting world and great community makes up for any technical shortfalls. Players are very helpful for the most part, especially a lot of the so called "Fr00bs" (free players) who are just as curious to learn as you are. Although PVP does have it's niche, it is very very insignifcant compared to some of the other PVP dominated games. This is actually quite refreshing, as it limits some of the 1337 pre-teens who only find validation in their PVP skills. A lot of the quality experiences found in AO cannot be put into words, the best way to find out is to try for yourself. You have nothing to lose, it is free. Load up the game, start a character, and go exploring. Go at your own pace, avoid the grinds. You will then begin to see the great vision of the developers unfold before your eyes.
