Anarchy Online Review

The monsters who you will face look awesome and the mini bosses will give you a hard time.

The only Down side of the game is the advertentions to a different part of the game. You can play it for 1 month, and after that you can’t play anymore. So if you want to play the game for free you should not accept those advertisements.

If you are interested in playing a character that is Damage Dealer you might want to try an Adventurer, an Engineer, a Keeper, a Martial Artist, a Soldier or a Shade.

If you are looking for a Caster you should try a Doctor, Trader, Nano Technician, or Bureaucrat.
Professions with Pets are: Engineers, Meta-Physicists, and Bureaucrats.

If you want a character that requires more Strategy you might consider an Agent, a Fixer, a Trader, or a Shade.

If you want to play Solo you should try an Engineer, Keeper, Martial Artist or Adventurer.

If you want to be a team player or a Support profession Doctors, Traders, Agents, Bureaucrats, and Engineers are good choices.

If you wish to play a Tank class, try an Enforcer, Adventurer or Keeper (As an offtank).

If you like to make things than you want a Tradeskill profession which are mainly Engineers and Traders.

There are many classes you can play. Nice game, I’ll give it a 8/10 because the graphics aren’t that great

if you try this game out, DO NOT quit at newbie island. it is by far the worst part of the game, in my opinion it is ugly, and boring. and un-futuristic.. wait it out like i did. and youll find the most amazing game. (Omni-Tek rules :P) Rimor server.

anyway, away from the graphics. the world is huge. And you can easily walk into something that will kill you.. while you’re hunting level 1s. (such as them blood missile things set around borders) not so easy to get money.. or better weapons. you have to fight things way higher levels than you to get these items. also, in the mainland if you’re kinda level 6 or something its hard to find an enemy to train on.. because there arent any. goes from like lvl 2 to lvl 15. misses out the middle bit. stay in the beginner’s part for a while. its better there. but.. i dont usually remember the good parts of a game. but i can remember it was alright. soo.

Graphics: 6 – i’ve had better
Gameplay: 6 – its alright, i suppose
Controls: 8 – better controls than most games.
Community: 7 – the community on the novice chat thing is good
world: 8 – its huge. ’nuff said

i shall give it.. a 7

9now me, ninjaguy4): Get a better system. If you still have a 2k the DAMN you’re poor. This game is better then WoW. 10/10.

Very involved game, very steep learning curve, but once you get the basics of the game, it’s really fun and addictive. Very big world (although not “seamless” but that’s alright) If you have all (or even one) of the exp packs, it makes the game all that much more fun. 8/10

For those who dont like this game for graphics and such, guess wat. ITS GETTING AN ENGINE UPDATE WOO
the skins and gameplay will prolly change over time but the engine is still getting revamped and it looks like Age of Conan without the cool models. (shaders and real time lighting DAMN)

Community 10/10
Gameplay 8/10
Graphics 8/10

Good:

+ Community
+ Graphics aren’t that bad, a bit outdated ofcourse
+ Massive world
+ Many different classes
+ No class limitations in 95% of the armor/weapons, if really want to be a doctor with 2-handed swords, why not 😉

Bad:

– Control system is slightly annoying sometimes
– Long traveling distances at lower levels
– You might want to buy the expansions when you have played enough =P

graphics: 9 very nice enviroment with little lag

gameplay:7 dont like combat system but controls easy

community:10 very easy to find what ur looking for. if you dont find it on one channel there is always like 20 more u can look through

character design/custimazation:9 classes are very numerous with own unique abilites, lacking facial features. and there isnt just 5 classes of armor. different quality= different amount of protection.

easy to level (lvl 45 enforcer, lvl 49 advy), fun, very addicting, sometimes you get frustrated over missions because your here, and the guy ur supposed to kill is half way across the planet. grid comes in very handy(i like teleporting). unique “mage”, melee, and ranged system.

best free game ive seen by far.

I found the controls and character movement supremely annoying, and the very lengthy quest dialogs tiresome. I enjoy a good yarn as much as the next (literate) person, but I felt like I was being given a lot of superfluous information for simple kill x quests. This is not innovation.

I wasn’t able to explore much beyond newbie island. I had trouble finding my way, and I didn’t get any help from anyone in the community. Even on newbie island, the players did not talk to one another. This was very uninspiring, considering how complicated this game is.

I give the game a 5 simply because it’s not another fantasy knights/elves/wizards clone, and I appreciate that there was much content I wasn’t able to access.

the classes are ill, but in my opinion there should be more races, not just humans and then a few geneticly altered humans, lol.

I played it free. GO ENJOY IT WHILE BEING FREE LASTS!!lIMITED TIME!!

lol thought i was done talkin? fraid not!

-graphics (8) seen better
-gameplay (8) ship crashing and u surving lmao
-weps (10)lotta variety
-armor (10) same as weps
-fun (5) gets boring after lvl 183
-missions (9) lotta gameplay there
-maps (12) hehehe lotta play space
-overall (9) i put 10 tho hahahaha

you cant even put this game in the same class with these other games man – anyone who says otherwise has more than a few screws loose or no screws at all and need to go back to playing the sims or whatever other brain dead game they play.

Pros:
Its free.
Older systems should run it as well as a new highend system due to low quality graphics and poor engine.
Some of the best dungeons in any game I’ve ever seen.
Joyful real flight with vehicles and nanos.
Very well thought out character development.
Missions while repetitive after a few thousand are very pleasant for the majority.
If you love the number game of getting every last point in something you can, this is the game for you.
Excellent world and terrain realiism.

Personal opinion:
I loved it and played for years, Shadowlands was a very big disappointment for me from the drastic change in play style over Rubi-Kai. Fantasy isn’t what I expect to find in a Sci-Fi MMORPG while Rubi-Kai itself is excellent. I no longer play from burnout due to lack of real highend accomplishments to reach for, though getting to that point takes quite awhile. Overall, if you have some time to kill and don’t mind the poor engine and graphic quality, its probably the only free mmorpg worth playing.

AO is the pinnacle of f2p p2p MMORPGs. I have not found a better one to play while free. People are helpful and the class system makes people dependant on one another to breach dungeons/sewers/subways/temples/other nasty places. I personally love to be an Adventurer myself ^-^

The quests are slightly dissapointing to me though. The system is good, but I just can t understand it. I just go stab stuff in temples and ignore those confusing mission booths…

The monsters are well made and challenging… *flashback [Yinadele[me, running]: You just HAD to attack Aztur, HUH?]* Err. I hate TOT sometimes. Why does everyone feel this need to attack high level bosses and get us killed? x.x

The graphics are realistic and loving done. No more needs to be said. Go lookitem yourself. They re all MY eyecandy. Hiss.

I rate it a 9.5, it comes so close to perfection. Just add more loot sorting modes at give us party leaders more control to keep people from attacking every monsters in a sucidal way and it might get that elusive 10 from me. Game on ^-^

there are loads of professions to choose from as well, loads of nano programs(same as spells)and you can have pets.they also have frendly staff that help you out when u need it.
This game is the only sf.(science fiction) game ive ever seen and ive seen loads of games.
So i rate this game 10/10 for its amasing graphics and endless gameplay.

Free accounts are good, but to be competitive in pvp at higher level you need the expansions. pvp at low levels is great though. And battles between the clan and omni actually have an effect on the greater community in the form of xp bonuses to the side winning the most battles.

Fantastic comunity, more than enough people are always willing to help, and even after a year I find myself asking questions. There is soo much to learn about this game, and the free part is only HALF the game. The Shadowlands expansion adds a whole new world, with even better graphics and story.

I can honestly say that AO is a bit complicated to learn, but out of all the different games AO was the easiest to pick up – with easy to use help boxes and training area (best known to its comunity as newbie island) when u first enter the world of rubi-ka there is no end to help that u can recieve, from the ppl of the comunity to the ARKs they are all willing to help.

Finding an organisation will be a good idea once uve got the basics of the game – and there are alot of organisations out there that are willing to take on new players and help and train them with knowledge of how to play the game. So my opinion is dont put it down until uve tried it 😛

The graphics are quite good, if you are willing to lag, and the world is huge, so open-ended, epic and has so much to explore, with so many players that you re never completely alone.

There are thousands of really different weapons, armour and gadgets, and there is alot more to do than quest and grind. Parties are actually fun, and the Game-masters (ARK) enjor themselves and make random events every now and then. Also, the max level is 200, which takes a year or so to reach.

The only real bad thing about the game is the combat; it s crap. Incredibly slow, and melee weapons attack from 10 metres.

The only slightly bad thing I can say about the game is that it s hideously complicated and will seem crap until you have been playing thoroughly for 2 weeks, when you finally get hold of the ropes, it then suddenly hits you that this is the best MMORPG ever made!

And it still rocks!
