5.0 out of 5 stars Great adventure, absorbing, a game for thinking adults!, October 21, 2002

By	Timothy McLain (Cary, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Read the other reviews? Good! Now disregard anything written before September 2002 -- Funcom has made good on this fantastic online adventure game. The software is as solid as it can be, and the gaming experience is fantastic. You can build a high-level character in a few days of play, team up with others from around the world to level even faster, equip yourself with all kinds of weapons and attacks, and pick from a wide array of professions with an equally wide array of unique abilities.

If you like solid gameplay and are looking for a satisfying online community experience, then give Anarchy Online a try for 30 days and see if you agree with me.

Just be sure to set aside a ton o' time -- because you'll be pulled in and doing everything you can to level as fast as possible! See you online...

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a TOTALLY different game from the one they launched, June 19, 2003

By	Bayle_Alien "Bayle_Alien" (Hangar 18, Dayton, Oh) - See all my reviews

i was there at launch, and i would agree with most others that the game was a embarrassment to itself, but that was then. funcom has a work ethic, something other companies could learn from, and they turned a sure loser into a winner, everything i could think of being broken is atleast tolerable now. Lag is always a issue with online gaming, but it isnt anymore laggy than Eq, or Uo when passing through a major traffic spot. I guess if anything could be wrong with the game at this point, it would be the monotony, or the economics, the same things that tend to plague other online games as well. One more thing though, i would reccommend this game to any older , or more mature gamers, there seems to be a more balanced playfield here of mature gamers, and alot less grief players.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly, the game has become quite good, June 9, 2002

By A Customer

We all know about the horrible launch. The bugs. The nerfs. The un-nerfs. The crashes.

But in the time since it's release, Anarchy Online has become a good MMPORG. I was one of the original beta testers for this game and quite about 5 months after it was launch. I recently decided to check it out again and have been really enjoying it. If only it could have originally shipped in this state . . .
