[i]Anarchy Online[/i] has been such a success for publisher Funcom that they will extend their free offer of the game for the rest of this year and into 2006. This means that if you haven’t already taken advantage of joining an MMORPG community for free, you still have a chance to sign up with no credit card or financial obligations.

“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”.

“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” said Trond Arne Aas, President and CEO of Funcom. “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.”
