Anarchy Online is a massively multiplayer Internet role-playing game featuring thousands of players simultaneously in a persistent, living universe. Inhabiting an alien planet in a distant future, players - in groups or on their own - are free to explore a stunningly detailed sci-fi environment, converse and socialise with other players, solve numerous quests, and battle strange and otherworldly creatures!
The year is 29,475 AD - and the place is Rubi-Ka, a brave new world on the outer fringes of known space. As a new citizen and colonist, you are propelled into perilous and unfamiliar territory, and you will soon have to decide where your allegiance lies. Whether you sympathise with the rebel clans or with the corporate behemoth Omni-Tek, your decision will affect everyone. On this world, the future is in your hands.
