Anarchy Online Game Overview
Anarchy Online is a science fiction MMORPG MMO released in June 2001 by Funcom. AO is set on the world of Rubi-Ka and its extra dimensional twin called the Shadowlands.
 Anarchy Online is set in the years following June 29475 and the current game year is 29482. The story revolves around two factions, the hypercorporation Omni-Tek and the rebel worker caste, the Clans which are fighting for control of Rubi-Ka. There is also a third faction of Neutral observers, thse are people who have decided to take no side in the conflict. The war has been continuing on and off for centuries and there have been larger conflicts between Omni-Tek and other corporations over the control of Rubi-Ka.
Rubi-Ka is of such tremendous importance because it is the only known source in the universe of the valued substance notum. Omni-Tek controlled notum for many years and benefited tremendously when it was discovered that the mineral would become the key component of nanotechnology. The discovery of notum's properties has led to the development of technologies that seem very much like magic and programs that create things such as fire and ice, shield people from harm, heal injury, affect their physical bodies, and even achieve resurrection.
Because of Omni-Tek's unfettered control of Rubi-Ka, they were free to do as it wished with its colonists and the planet. Omni-Tek did its best to treat its people well, even to the point of receiving commendations for its treatment of workers but over the centuries, Omni-Tek's policies degraded, until finally a significant number of poorly-treated colonists rebelled and began to secretly trade stolen notum to a rival corporation which has led to a series of wars between Omni-Tek and the colonists and also between Omni-Tek and its rival corporations.

Anarchy Online Skill system
Players in Anarchy Online gain experience points, and thus levels, by defeating enemies and completing missions. Oddly, a character's level has almost no direct impact on his capabilities. Instead, the game is skill-based. Each level awards the character with Improvement Points to raise skills of the player's choice. It is these skills that determine what a character is capable of doing. The improvement cost of each skill depends on profession but no skill is denied outright to anyone. With 85 improvable skills character development is flexible and very complex.
