Summary: Horrible game, poorly run and poorly implemented.
Review: This game is run very incompetently. Funcom has no idea how to update or improve the game. When I first played I thought the game was ok and perhaps even enjoyable. After each successive patch the game degraded. More crashes and bugs were introduced every patch. I lost items at random and XP loss due to bugs became common place. Do not buy this game, you will regret it in 2-4 weeks.

Summary: Stay FAR away from this one..
Review: Poorly designed and implemented. Lack of any depth whatsoever in gameplay. Poor customer service and tech support.The things you do in your first 10 levels are basically the same things you will be doing when you are level 150+. Want to change your email or password? Nope.. can't do that through the site. have to email someone and give them your info (and stand a chance to have that info leak out) They closed all the message boards because people were complaining about the game too much. Now only "censored" posts are allowed. The so called storyline was supposed to have started in September. Now its been pushed back to November... The game was released about 3 months ago..and there is no storyline to speak of. Any Funcom organised "event" is lag filled and no fun at all. My advice is, from my experience playing UO, EQ and DAoC. Stay FAR away from this game. It is not worth YOUR time and money.

Summary: AO CAUSES CANCER
Review: THIS GAME IS SO BAD YOU WILL DIE IF YOU TRY TO PLAY IT. LAB RATS HAVE BEEN MASSACRED BY THE MILLIONS TIN THE BETA TESTING OF THIS GAME. SAVE YOURSELF! FIND ANOTHER MMORPG TO PLAY. OR JUST KILL YOURSELF - ITLL BE LESS PAINFULL THAN PLAYING AO.

Summary: Friends Don't Let Friends Play Anarchy Online
Review: This game is the biggest letdown game-wise that I have ever experienced. It will mess with your computer and your hard drive will never sound the same. There is no Customer Support. Zero. So if you have a problem, tough luck. Funcom still hasn't figured out the rules to this game either. So who knows what the reason is for playing it. All in all, it's a mess. So, unless you're the type of person who likes spending time in a prison cell with a 6 foot 4 inch... nambed Pebbles, don't go near it. Don't even look at it. And for God's sake, don't even say the name.

Summary: This game is not worth the time and money.
Review: I bought this game with much hope, however, after 3 months, Funcom the games developers, has done more to create bugs then to solve them. Censorship is rampant on the official message boards to prevent any bad press. Customer service is non-existant, and consists of email and in game petitions only. There is zero phone support. On average in game support takes well over 8 real hours, and email response takes nearly a week. Save your money, buy another game or try many of the good free online games that are out there.

Summary: REVIEW
Review: I signed on from day one of retail and it has been downhill ever since. This game is even buggier than when it was first released, if you can believe that! They have absolutely no customer service. Emails and in game help requests go unanswered. Aside from the pretty graphics and if you can get it running long enough before crashing, you soon discover the game inside is very shallow. The mission generator makes the same boring missions except you have different wall textures. Game balance doesn't exist and they're still constantly nerfing character classes. Everybody is cancelling their account in droves. Ironically, this may improve lag for those of you foolish enough to stay. Not my words, but absolutly true. BIG BUMP!!!

Summary: Had potential but plagued by horrible management and bugs.
Review: Well the title of this post says it all. The game has a great graphics engine and music. Nice artwork, models, and effects. But totally fails as a MMORPG due to lack of acutal game content, balance, bugs, nerfs, disconnects, poorly thought out or not thought out at all features that are implemented so badly that they became show stopping bugs. The list of what is not bugged in this game would be 10x shorter than the list of bugs. Its that bad. Save yourself, get some other game.

Summary: SImply horrible
Review: I have played almost every MMORPG ever release starting with Islands of Kesmai and Neverwinter Nights through UO, EQ, AC. Anarchy Online is the worst MMORPG I have ever had the misfortune to buy. No customer service, 1000's of bugs, client crashes, hard locks, name a problem this game has it. To top it all off the company treats it's customers like morons, they lie, the edit statements they made with no indication they edited them, they put in buggy patches on friday and go home for the weekend. Don't buy it, you'll regret it.

Summary: Easily the worst online role playing game of them all....
Review: The game is virtually unplayable. It is littered by constant crashes, huge lag, and many many many bugs. Even if I could play, it is very BORING. Most of the time online I tried to group with others but due to the huge lag and disconnects I was unable to do so. That leaves you with extremely boring cookie cutter missions that would be perfect for someone suffering from insomnia. Overall, a very dissapointing gameplay experience.

Summary: Advice of the day: Don't waste your time on this game
Review: Registration date: 2001-07-01 19:55:25 I tried to post the following on funcoms offical site so that the newcomers can have a slight insight in how the game has been to current date..but as u all know, funcoms control the board 110% now..hell that is the only thing that they have 110% control over. Let me remind u that FC announced that the game was beyond the beta state and are now 110% playable. And they should therefore start billing..well the game has improved, but its still not 110%.. Well, what could we expect from our dearest Funcom. When 12.5 patch was released alot of mid and highlvl players complains over the lack for unique monsters. The outdoors hunting gave 2-4 exp per kill (wich means that they have to kill ALOT to be able to gain a new lvl, a 100 lvl player needs 1.5M exp to be able to advance). Alternative 2 was to do team missions, the mobs would give 6-10 exp per kill (but come on..yeah the team mission is social, but VERY boring). Alternative 3: Mission run (wich is not social, boring but sadly its the only thing that gives a highlvl enough exp for his/her effort) So instead of using their imagintation to add some new features to the game, they decide to "nerf" us all. With this I mean the 12.6 patch. Wich made soloing yellow mobs imposible. (The emergency patch was supposed to fix it..but its still almost imposible not to mention very expensive for the groups doc when the group encounter an organge or red mob. We are still not able to land a regular hit against a higher lvl mob. Each group member can only do dmg with their special attacks like brawl, MA move, dimach, aimshot, burst etc. And the MOBs nano pool is much higher than it should be...so u can only imagine how expensive it is for a doc. The result of the patch was a lot of frustrated, angry and disapointed feed back, wich Funcoms answer was to "archive". In other words they want gain full control of the bulletin boards. I dont really blame them, cuz if our new european citizens was to read those feedback, no1 would have stayed. They would see through Funcoms empty promises and realize that FC lack the words "service and common sence" And now with the latest emergency patch, they have decided to remove an armor that players have spent much credits and time to get a hand at. (No I dont have any of the listed armors, so I am not writing this post to whine about my losses). I am just sick of funcoms punishing their customers for Funcoms fault. Since the 12.6 patch many for my ingame friends have lost valuable items as, Yamaha (plane), Mid, Knight armor etc.
And none are getting a compensation from our beloved Funcom. To make this short, I would like to thanks Funcom for making this game and the Norwegian ppl look like a clown. Anarhcy Online is not more than a big failure. I wonder if they are using our money on improving this Anarchy Online or the upcoming Funcom product Midgard. But who can tell, not even Funcom knows the answer. Alot of mid and highlvls players have canceled their account, this must be the only reason for lesser lag in "used" to be crowed areas. THIS is why I cant recommend AO to any1
