I tried it this morning and am uninstalling it. It seems very complex though and I might enjoy it if I had more time. Thanks for the offer though.
 
where is the torrent download? All I see is an HTTP download from Download.com and it's real slow (about 15K/s) and one a half Gig, so it'll take more than a day to download.

There is a client on file planet but it's only about 650M, will it work?

look on the right side of the page.

However, the BT download was just as bad as the normal one... couldn't even connect to the tracker
 
found this on the web....

Cheat mode:
Enter one of the following codes during game play to activate the corresponding cheat function.

Effect / Code
Target self [F1]
Cycle nearest enemy targets [Tab]
Cycle nearest friendly targets [Ctrl] + [Tab]
Target teammates [F2] to [F6]
Display information for targeted person T
Display frame rate [Ctrl] + [Alt] + F
Submit bug report [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Shift] + [F9]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hint: Save from crashes:
Save your character state frequently to protect from crashes. Simply open the skill menu and click "Accept". This will save your character's experience, and will allow you to load from this point in the event of a crash.

Hint: Killing untargetable NPCs:
The game may glitch in some live-with missions, where the objective NPC will become stuck behind a wall, and thus cannot be targeted. He may appear briefly, but you will not be able to maintain a lock on him. Walk towards the wall and enter the /kneel action to see through the wall. You can then click and target the NPC to complete your mission objective.

Hint: Mooning:
To moon someone, type /moon in the message bar.

It is only free if you can download it. Right now they are pushing a bittorrent but I get 0 speed.
 
I already had this downloaded and was going to do the 2 week free trial they did have, thanks OP
Also when you sign up it has an option to not give them a cc or any way to bill, so it has to be free, awesome.
 
From the main AO website:

"Funcom announces that Anarchy Online will be the first major western live MMO without a subscription fee. 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."

I tried the free trial a couple months ago. It seemed like a pretty good game, but as someone who had never played an MMORPG, I found it pretty hard to get into and cancelled when the trial period was up. Since it's free now, I may give it another shot and give myself some more time to figure it all out.
 
I'm using their client download thingy and I've been downloading for the last 12 hours and the thing is about 1/2 done.

I'd recommend going the BT route if you haven't dl'd it yet.

I'm far enough into it that I'll stick it out for another 12 hours..... 🙁
 
I got the ~600MB file from Fileplanet, but the patching is hell. It has to DL all the patches and apply them in order. After ach patch you have to restart the patcher and hit the patch button again? I spent all night patching anf I'm still not done, WTF were they thinking? Why not patch the original file before posting it?
 
DOWNLOAD THE BITTORRENT FILE!!! its 900 mb but has ALL THE UPDATES, so theres NO UPDATING REQUIRED!!! tried it for a while, theres a HUGE learning curve for those new to mmorpgs...but still seems interesting and you cant beat free 🙂

I guess some MMORPG things are universal.

ttown, thanks for the links!
 
chynkboi - start with the tiny (level 1) animals first until you level up. Or better yet, team up with someone and kill them together. Remember to hit U to distribute your IP points to get better skills.
 
I downloaded it and it wont run the installer...? I click on install.exe and I get a box showing command line paramaters, click ok and nothing. So, I downloaded it again (bittorrent) and the same result.

Anyone else having a problem? Files are exactly the same on both downloads but still it is a no go.
