Superb Game, Indispensible Reference Book...,
By MoonRabbit (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anarchy Online: Sybex Official Strategies and Secrets (Paperback)
Well, now that FunCom has gotten the bugs out of AO and has been developing it (patch 14.2 is going live today), I take back everything bad I ever said about it. Anarchy Online is superb and has at last begun living up to the hype and the high expectations I had of it from the beginning.As for this book, it was pretty out of date when it was published and it has in no way kept up with the massive changes and additions to the game itself. However, despite that and that it is generally a little weak overall, the book is absolutely indispensible as a reference guide to everything from maps, to nanos, to clusters, to weapons and monsters. Yes, even much of that data is out-of-date now, but there is still rarely a session where I don't refer to the book at least once. If they published the book again with more current information, I'd definitely buy it.

Did McCubbin actually play the game???,
By "schocke" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anarchy Online: Sybex Official Strategies and Secrets (Paperback)
Actually, that is beside the point. The launch of AO was horrid (second only to ww2online), and the Devs have been "balancing/nerfing/tweaking" so many things that the mechanics are almost unrecognizable at this point. For example, the Nanotech class description described them as "the master of Nanos" and "able to Solo, Group, and PvP effectively." People who actually play this class (which turns out to be a complete gimp after level 40 of 200), have taken to fascetiously quoting the "official guide" in their signatures when posting on the funcom forums complaining about broken game mechanics. The entire game is a joke and after building a character up to the middle-game I cancelled my subscription before they could bill my credit card. If you want accurate info about how bad it is (Funcom has started censoring their official forums before the European launch because of "too much negativity".)....
