Anarchy Online
Anarchy Online is old, and it's showing. They do stuff the old way over there, but it's still a good game.The community is ok, and there still are new people in the lowbie areas running around doing stuff. It's hard to make money in it though if you don't know what you're doing so it's hard for lowbies to get by. It's by no means impossible though. Several large guilds are open to new players, or even focused on trial accounts, since you can spend a good 1000+ hours on the free vanilla game before delving into the expansions. It's not difficult for newbies to get a group, and general chat in the cities is basically an endless Q&A session.
Playing AO is not all bad though. If you are in a good guild, then you get to have a good circle of friends to help you get gear, equipment, and money. Levels, contracts and connections. Friends, fun and general mischief. I’ve played AO since its release and I’ve seen the game through the best, and the bad times. It’s a fun and complex game. AO is far from perfect. It doesn't have shiny graphic nor sounds. Its leveling content is pretty much boring, which usually annoys most of the players. It take a while to get used to this game but once you do you'll probably start to love it.
