Durham, USA — May 6, 2005 – Funcom announces ‘Anarchy Online – Lost Eden’, an action-filled new expansion pack for the ultimate sci-fi MMORPG. Set for release in early winter, ‘Lost Eden’ is packed with exciting new features and abilities, including massive orbital battle stations, player controlled battle Mechs, vast PvP upgrades, encounters inside alien motherships, extensive alternative character advancement options and more.
‘Lost Eden’ sees mankind pulling out all the stops against the alien invaders as gigantic battle stations are deployed in orbit around Rubi-Ka. As fire rains from the heavens humanity finally seems to gain the upper hand. But with great power comes great temptation, and Omni-Tek and the Clans both see the ultimate means to gain total supremacy for their side; the orbital battle stations.
Rubi-Ka, once the birthplace of mankind and the garden of Eden, now a place of havoc and death. Will humanity finally get it right, or will their own aggression see the downfall of both the alien invaders and themselves?
“With ‘Lost Eden’ we are continuing our focus on the unique sci-fi aspects in ‘Anarchy Online’, and we are giving our players extensive new gameplay options†said Game Director Morten Byom. “The ability to raid and control orbital battle stations, steer powerful battle Mechs, fight inside the motherships and new character advancement options should bring great fun to all of our players.â€
Feature Highlights
- Fight for orbital supremacy by conquering level restricted battle stations in large PvP battles. Unleash the fury of the heavens.
- Feel the power of controlling huge Mechs on the battlefield.
- Crush the alien f...

Before we move on to this historical change for AO we would like to remind all our active players to update their account e-mail address as we are sending out a holiday gift later this week. We would also like to mention that existing users can take advantage of this offer, but ONLY if you start a new account.

In a unique move Funcom is removing all cost barriers in the ultimate sci-fi MMORPG, allowing all new players to enter and stay, free of cost!
At the same time Funcom is departing from the obligatory need to register with a credit card, making for an easier entrance and registration process.

Not only will this new and totally free approach allow everyone tired of elves, fairies and gnomes to enter a futuristic RPG world full of fun action, it will also make it possible for those who are sci-fi fans to explore a world hailed and rewarded as the best sci-fi MMO available today.

Funcom announces new Game Director for Anarchy Online Impressive looking graphics upgrade, new live content and much more
Hi, and welcome to another edition of the Anarchy Online newsletter. In this issue we have some truly exciting news about the future of AO, as well as a personal letter from Morten Byom, the new Game Director for Anarchy Online.
First off it’s appropriate to mention the fact that Marius Enge, the former Game Director for Anarchy Online, has decided to leave Funcom. He has accepted a position as Senior Designer for one of the premier upcoming MMO games. Funcom is sad to see Marius leave, but at the same time grateful for the outstanding work he has delivered through the seven years he worked on AO. Funcom wishes him the best of luck in his new endeavor.
We are sure we have found a fantastic replacement in Morten Byom, who has proven himself in Anarchy Online for years. You can see a personal letter from Morten about the future of AO, and a bit about himself, in this newsletter. At the same time Funcom is further staffing up the Anarchy team. One of the newly arrived is Enno Rehling, who was Lead Programmer on Notum Wars (Expansion pack of the year, CGW). An already multi-award winning staff mixed with additional quality newcomers in the weeks to come means that Funcom feel confident about a continued strong future for Anarchy Online.
Funcom is also very happy to announce a major graphics upgrade for Anarchy Online. Even though AO has constantly received great praise and awards for its graphics and art direction, we always seek to make something better. The first evidence of a vastly updated world will be experienced through all-new ground textures and more detailed characters. Moreover, the entire color scheme will be upgraded to make the planet more vibrant, colorful and lush. All of these changes will be implemented in the months to come, in addition to new playfields which will further escalate the intense and action-filled alien conflict. It’s indeed a good time to be an AO player!
Seeing the positive evolution of Anarchy Online over the past few years, Funcom once again emphasizes our commitment to keep on developing quality content for the ultimate sci-fi MMORPG. It’s Morten Byom wh...

Funcom is proud to announce that Anarchy Online is turning 3 years on June 27th! Through the years Anarchy Online has evolved to become the highest ranking sci-fi MMORPG on the market, a feat made possible thanks to the commitment of our players.
