Anarchy Online is a hidden gem with great but wasted potential due to the lack of interest of Funcom. Been playing this game for over 10 years on and off, I've tried all the mmorpgs out there and I always come back to AO.

A one sentence review: A complex MMORPG with no hand holding, skill based PVP and 2001 graphics.

The bad:

- Awful graphics, the game was launched in 2001 and not much has been improved graphics wise. Sure a while back Funcom launched a beta engine(client) that you can download from AO website but it's quite unstable.

- Animations are so bad its not even funny, not improved on the 'new' engine either.

- Lots of visual bugs.

If you want a game that looks great AO is not it.

The good:

- AO is one of the most complex MMORPGs around, 14 classes that really are different and not just slight variations of the same thing.

- The learning curve is not great but it's rewarding.

- PvP is skills based and it's all about coming up with a smart setup, no standard end-game setups here. It's all about being creative and mix it up.

- Classes are balanced-ish and every class has a nemesis (a class that wrecks you!).

- Twinking(over-gearing), now this is a thing unique to AO. In other games its all about max lvl pvp but not here. In most games you;ll have equipment requirements like : Level from xx. In AO it's all about stats and pushing them the the limits, you can have a level 1 with the same equipment you would seen on a level 20-30. It's a hard sometimes insane process as you try to squeeze every extra ability point out of your eqipment but so rewarding .. in PvP! . There are twinks at almost every level as they are needed to attack/defend organization(guild) land zones and each zone has a different level range. You can stop leveling at any level you want and make the most bad a$$ pvp character there to dominated everyone
