As part of the celebration, Funcom invites everyone who has ever played 'Anarchy Online' to join in the festivities between June 23rd and July 11th (regardless of current Membership status). New Membership offers, with brand new armor pieces, login rewards and the Desert Rider event are also part of the grand 15th anniversary celebration!
Included with the anniversary is an all new Game Update which changes the Player vs Player attack windows on Notum Tower fields, where players battle for dominance over the planet Rubi-Ka. The update also introduces a new Research Line for end-game players, with powerful skill increases, and adds new Veteran Shop rewards with bonus Veteran Points for existing members.

I was able to read a book while doing missions with my toon because it was so formulaic....just cycle through my keys while reading until it was over.
Posted this over a year ago, it might have been a bit harsh at the time. Anyone care to comment why you think the game was so good? I only played for the first like 3-4 months after release but my memory of the game wasn't a good one.

What the fuck? people talking like Anarchy Online was actually good? Was I playing the same shitty game as you guys or did you start playing years after launch?
On Launch:
-Engineer Class, Found bug that was /ORG BANK ADD -999999999 = unlimited cash.
level 80, using a level 120 battle bot because it was based off attributes and i had the best implants money could buy, still couldn't kill shit.
Second character,
One of those Brute Sledge Hammer guys where you would queue attack, end attack queue attacks because the weapons were 1.6 second attack 12 second recharge so if you cycled the attack it would be 1.6 seconds per attack.
Again, got to like level ~100, game was fucking pitiful.. I remember flying over the wastelands finding cyborgs and going "there's really not much going on in this game".
Those weird mission dungeons were boring, the combat sucked.. like was I playing the same game as you guys?
quit and never looked back.

I missed out on this, think I was playing EQ back then dragging my dead bodies to graveyards, no doubt.![]()
Would this be worth checking out now days, as a new player? Or maybe this is another bad example of Funcom F2P? I really liked The Secret World, so not just knocking Funcom round.
