(Just like fine wine, some games mature, grow and improve through the years, and ‘˜Anarchy Online’ has proven itself to be exactly like that. It is now one of the deepest and most engaging MMOs available, and with ‘˜Lost Eden’ we’re expanding the experience for veteran players at the same time as we’re including all the previous expansions in the offer for new players. We’re confident ‘˜Anarchy Online’ will continue to excite people), said Trond Arne Aas, CEO of Funcom.
