My roommate is having fun with it.
My take on it is "EverQuest with Sci-Fi sounding words instead of fantasy sounding words". Its the same game, with a few enhancements and more bugs than EverQuest shipped with. It also costs $12.95 per month as opposed to EverQuest, Ultima Online and Asheron's Call which all cost $9.95 per month.
In EverQuest you face you opponent monster, hit your attack key and watch the damage slowly kill both of you, hopefully the monster first. In Anarchy Online you do the same thing, only with guns instead of swords or nanoytes instead of magic. No dodging or using cover, just stand at sword range and shoot at eachother until one of you dies.
My roommate's opinion is more charitable.
The one good part in my opinion is the outside world, it looks better than in any of these games yet done.
