| Anarchy Online is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG). The term applies to role-playing games that can be played online, hosting thousands of players simultaneously. |
| At first glance it is easy to see why Anarchy Online differs from most other MMORPGs. Anarchy Online is a science fiction MMORPG incorporating a number of new ideas and concepts. Up until Anarchy Online, all other MMORPGs had followed the fantasy theme. |
| Anarchy Online is also different from other games in the genre by offering random missions and dungeons, giving the player a unique gaming experience. Anarchy Online also has the capability to host up to 10,000 players simultaneously in one world, allowing you to make friends, or enemies, with a large and diverse community. |
| All MMORPGs follow a similar advancement style: Players are able to increase their abilities and skills through combat and trade skills. Much like in real-life, characters in MMORPGs learn skills through advancement and by building upon other skills. As characters advance they may also branch out into other skills or specialize in a particular type. All this of course is at your control, so you may create a truly unique character. |
| MMORPGs are able to immerse you into a dynamic world where you ARE someone else, rather than a face behind the screen, and this is perhaps the key to why MMORPGs are the success they are today. |
