Funcom: Anarchy Online 2 not in the cards (yet)

Morrison explains that Age of Conan and The Secret World are currently the company's two main projects. For now, it looks like Anarchy won't be getting a sequel for ... well, considering MMO development cycles, a good long while.

Kinda looks like Funcom's "The Secret World" is in a similar vein. Maybe that's their "AO2".

Anarchy Online was sci-fi. The Secret World is japanese/Lovecraftian horror with conspiratorial elements. I can't see a connection really.

I would love a AO2. The game has some amazing back story

That's all fine and all, but when's the new graphics engine gonna be implemented? The current engine is butt ugly.

never heard of this game until now. looks interesting. website says its free to play so i might have to check it out.
Ghen @ Jul 9th 2009 5:48PM
Definitely free to play. Its a nice romp for sure.

AOL looked fun. I tried to get into it when I was playing WoW, but the community just wasn't helpful at all, and I couldn't find any decent guides. It certainly wasn't noob friendly. It did look cooler than WoW though, that's for sure. I liked the setting much better.

If you tried AOL instead of AO, I believe it when you say it wasn't quite what you expected.
As for AOL not being noob friendly... wow, just wow.
(yes I know it was a typo, I'm just messing with ya)

Yeah, I could never make it past step 2, and those little running guys were no help.
... Yeah I meant AO lol

Forget about AOC2 or Secret World or any of that..
I want The Longest Journey 3 (Dreamfall 2??)
RAGNAR TORNQUIST, MAKE IT SO, DAMMIT!

I could've sworn I heard they were shutting this game down a few years ago... That's why I lost interest in trying it out. Did they bring it back, or am I just making things up?

naw i been playin an heard that, if ot wasnt for it goin free to play it would have

AO is probably the best MMO to date. A sequel would be amazing, but I'd even settle for a big graphics update.
dreadraven2 @ Jul 11th 2009 2:07PM
I agree. Funcom makes some great games, but they tend to launch them with too many bugs and not enough servers, which tends to scare people to a different MMO. Its really a shame as I've had more fun with AO than with any other MMO. Then again i've only played AO, WoW, and CoX. I would definitely be interested in an AO2.
As far as people not being really helpful its just like most MMOs, you have to find a good Org (the AO version of guild).

I've never played this but do want to give it a try as I hear it's a fairly deep game. However, like many others, I am waiting on the graphics update.
