Anarchy Online Beta Journal

Raily Dadar gives us a little more than the normal glimpse into the beta of the sci-fi MMORPG Anarchy Online with a lengthy look at the gameplay through the lower levels. One thing I was impressed with, as I did not know this fact, was that there are 200 levels possible. Check it:

The party system is incredible: It’s so beneficial to hunt in a party that, while you can solo if you want, no one will. The experience split in a party is almost as good as what you’d get by yourself. But since you’re in a party, and the party can kill things much more easily and quickly, the experience can come amazingly fast. Last night, for instance, we leveled a character from 11 to 14 in just under two hours of play in a skilled party. Don’t worry about over-leveling; there are 200 levels to gain, and certainly things slow down as you go up, but as a young player the hook really sets in as you gain levels rapidly. It’s just damn fun.
