Just over three years since the release of Funcom's MMORPG Anarchy Online, the company has announced plans to extend the game's free status throughout 2005 and into 2006. Anarchy Online has many active players and Funcom's decision to offer the online experience for free has certainly paid off. The company's long-term aim is to do away with subscription fees altogether, and negate the need to enter any kind of card details to get online, so those who fall into the 'curious but cautious' category can eventually give it a go.
"The free initiative has been a tremendous success" says Ole Schreiner, Project Director for Anarchy Online. "Throngs of new players have entered the game and created a vibrant pioneer feeling for all those who see the wonders of Anarchy Online for the first time. Even though our servers and customer service have been under strong pressure, it's assuring to see our technology holding up with such stability".
Trond Arne Aas, President and CEO of Funcom said, "Seeing the great feedback from the free offer we are aiming to extend it into 2006 and beyond should it prove to be a continued success. We are happy to be part of something which has sent such positive waves throughout the MMO communities, while significantly lowering the entrance barrier to enter Anarchy Online."
