The developers of the multiplayer online game Anarchy Online, Funcom, have decided to try new business models for it, and are now offering the game for free.
Any new accounts for Anarchy Online created before 15 Jan 2005 will have full, free access to the game until 2006, though this doesn't apply to expansion packs for the game:
"We feel very confident in the unique features and heralded qualities of our game, and are now openly inviting everyone playing MMO’s to find out what Anarchy Online is all about, completely free of commitment" said Ole Schreiner, Project Director for Anarchy Online. "Not only can we boast of a fantastic game which has been expanding for years, we are also constantly adding exciting new content, progressively making the ultimate sci-fi MMORPG even better."
