    Default Play Anarchy Online for Free

    Hi guys-

    Just wanted to poke my head in for about 5 seconds to point out something I saw today. Perhaps you've heard of Anarchy Online? It's a retail MMORPG that came out a few years back. Anyway, they have an offer going where you can play AO for free until 2006. No charge for the software, no subscription fee, no cost whatsoever. What's the catch? You have to register by January 15th.

    http://www.anarchy-online.com/free/a...s/freecampaign

    Check it out and enjoy.

    Wow. Mason is indeed a sex symbol.
    All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
    I like watchin the puddles gather rain
    And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
    and speak my point of view
    But its not sane..
    I just want some one to say to me
    Ill always be there when you wake
    Ya know Id like to keep my cheeks dry today
    So stay with me and Ill have it made
    And I dont understand why I sleep all day
    And I start to complain that theres no rain
    And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
    And it rips my life away but its a great escape..
    All I can say is that my life is pretty plain...

    7 peers to a seed so... not entirely unreasonable, I guess. A bunch of leechers, no shocker there. Also, it seems that if you do not cancel the account by 1/1/06, they will start billing, if you enter credit card info. Of course, they don't require the credit card, so I think you are ok with not cancelling it if you never enter it. It seems this is a big promo to sell expansion packs and the like, and will nuke the deal if it gets out of hand. Still worth a look, I guess.

    So, if you don't cancel by the first of January they will bill, if they can? Hammered. How about I don't cancel, with no Credit Card info?
    FOR SURE this is some kind of scam, but I don't care right now.

    Interesting. I recently quit AO after playing for about a year or so. The new game director shows much promise with the recent changes he's been making, so I may return someday.
    The old saying "If it's too good to be true, it is" comes to mind.
    EDIT: After checking out the link, I saw another catch of the deal. It doesn't include any expansions in the offer. Basically, once they get you hooked with the initial fun you'll have in it, you'll need to buy the expansions.
    Should you wish to upgrade to any of the expansion packs monthly subscription and client fees will be added.

    First of January, 2006, mind you. Without credit card info, I imagine they just freeze your account. It seems shifty, but like I and KoN said, it's to get you to buy the expansions, really. And they can pull the plug on it if it's not having the success they had hoped for.

    Bah, whatever, I was either gonna get this or Star Wars Galaxies, and both are probably gonna come out with expansion packs soon, so whatever. Thanks for the info mason

    I added a link to it in "What are you playing right now?"-thread a few days ago. I was playing for a few hours yesterday, and it wasn't bad. A bit laggy at times, but good.

    According to the FAQ, I can run this game. Looks like I'm biting.

    Oh. I'm downloading at 85 KB/sec at the moment. What are you people doing to get such crappy BT speeds?

    Possibly because there are a few thousand less people leeching, and a few hundred more downloading. The math makes sense to me at least. I got finished sometime today, my internet had a fit last night, so overall, it was plenty fast, I'd say.
