Happy seventh birthday, Anarchy Online

Funcom has announced the seventh year of operation for Anarchy Online, the company's successful science fiction-themed MMO. Over nearly a decade, Anarchy Online has amassed over six million player-created inhabitants and more than 200 million hours of play time, which equates to approximately eight million days of gaming. You can buy Anarchy Online Credits from a cheap Anarchy Online Credits store.

Gaute Godager, formerly game director of Anarchy Online and now game director for the company's newest hit, Age of Conan (Age of Conan gold as its virtual currency), couldn't be happier with Anarchy Online's success. "When we first set out to create Anarchy Online we had no true references, nothing to learn from, and this pioneer feeling is something we embraced and cherished. That Anarchy Online has lived for seven years is an astounding accomplishment, but it also proves that quality persists if it is nurtured and cared for in the right way."

Current Anarchy Online game director Craig Morrison asserts that the game's thriving, ever-evolving community should be the ones credited with the game's success. "The community and development team has almost formed a very symbiotic relationship through the years, and being a part of this positive and constructive unity is something which I am incredibly proud of," he said.

What does the future hold for Anarchy Online? You will be rich if you get massive Anarchy Credits. "I hope the development of Anarchy Online will continue to grow," said Morrison. "Our goal now is to keep on evolving Anarchy Online for seven more years, at least, and I hope all of our players will join us for the ride."
