Neowin.net - Where unprofessional journalism looks better - Anarchy Online is now totally free

"In a move that can only be described as surprising, Funcom has announced that their Sci-Fi themed MMORPG Anarchy Online has now gone totally free. You must sign up by January 15th 2005 and the expansion packs Alien Invasion, Shadowlands and Notum Wars are not included and still will require a subscription fee to play. You do not need a credit card to sign up, and this free to play subscription is good until January 1st 2006. You also must be creating a new account, it cannot be an old account.

Some people may be getting tired of elves and gnomes and all the other fantasy characters from all those other MMORPG's out these days. So Funcom decided now would be the time to offer this present to the masses. This looks to be a trial run at a new business model to see how they may present new future products down the road. Plus, hey you get a pretty good game for over a year of playtime."

Speaking of MMORPG's. Here's a chance to play a Sci-Fi one totally free.

You know me and free... Downloading the client now. :)

I'm glad I'm taking some time off this holiday session...
