Doesn't get the respect it deserves.

This game really just doesn't get the respect it deserves. I played this game on release, which we all know was pretty horrible. However, release for most MMOs is going to be rough and buggy. However, Anarchy-Online really, to this day even, is the only game I see that provides you such great customization for your character.
The implants you can make, spend a good deal of time calculating out the stats to make the very best possible set to be that much better, to the IP System for each skills that you can invest in was and still is such a fantastic system. Being able to create a set of implants and having a fighting chance to kill someone level 200 when you're even 30,40 levels lower.
I've got a level 216 Enforcer on Atlantean server (Alissua) that I haven't touched in a while but will be subscribing again here in the next week or two. Anyway, for those who cry about character customization and not having the ability in their MMO to mold the character they made to their satisfaction, give Anarchy-Online a chance. Anyway, see you all (those in the Atlantean server) soon'ish.

OMG!!!! You play on the Atlantean server??? You Godless Heathen!!!!
If you are not being responded to directly, you are probably on my ignore list.
Well I was there at the start also and AO set the standard for a horrible start for an MMO.
I think that is what kept it from becoming a big hit.
I played it until Shadowlands came out and that is what killed the game for me.
AO is deep, complex, complicated. I think that's one of the reason it has a low population. Peoples these days wants games like WOW where everything is spoon feeded to them. In AO you have to learn a hell of a lot of stuff just to be "average". If you think learning how to use implants is complicated, wait till you discover the joy of over equiping stuff, hours of pleasures but so worht it.
Look at the game Funcom release 3 days ago, AOC, it's so shallow compared to AO, hell some poeples have already reach the maximum level, no way you would have seen that when AO was launch.
Anyway enough rent, if peoples knew what this game is about, they would play it. I know it kept me entertain for 2.5 years. Only other other MMO i have played that long before, Asheron's Call.
