no that dont work and you think I had not lol.. seeing as it takes you to the login page one would um log in Very Happy

anyhow they are not taking accounts already opened for those games they host. beta apparently they are wanting users to make new accounts.

all i get is this, did they remove the register part maybe?

I followed the link, logged in and then they ask you for your DxDiag file, when you upload it and click the NDA thing you are signed up for beta.


*Edit*: To make it clear: I did not make a new account, used my years old account to sign up Smile

i logged in with my funcom account where I have other funcom games on the link provided it just takes me to "play anarchy online for free" press GO

even making new account for that inside my main account does not do a thing for beta..

no idea oh well big headache to work this out, also no info pertaining to it either about from what I can see.

Yup that is odd, best to contact support and let them waste time and effort on it rather than you Smile

Reactivated my old account to see what changed. A bunch of us that used to "work" on Asheron's Call used to hang out there. I haven't played for around 5 years though. haha

We were volunteers. Put in about 8 hours a week if I remember right. MS and Turbine got spooked when other games' volunteers decided to sued saying they should be paid. So they let us all go. We all still played for free for a couple of years until MS gave it all back to turbine.

All the Advocates were volunteers. We started while it was still in beta and last a year or two. Can't remember exactly when they got rid of us. They switched to in house support in Redmond at that point. But our accounts were still flagged as free for a long time.

Oh advovates were the people that just helped players with where to go what to do etc.. ok the way you said "work" etc seemed a little missleading to be honest..

you were in effect a reduced in rank GM by today's standards..

I remember now it lasted not long overall. I bet you even had a glowing shield Very Happy

I remember nothing about Anarchy Online. Logged in and I have tons of (probably old) stuff, lots of credits (500k probably doesn't last as long as it used to), and remember nothing about the game Laughing It looks exactly as I remember it though. Clunky controls and dated graphics. I'll play around with it some more when I have more time.

Not misleading at all. We had schedules and bosses. We weren't paid employees but we still had obligations. But yeah, that's basically what we did. Helped new players mostly. And yes, we all had an aegis but they were pretty much just so we could be identified easily while on duty.

After they canceled the advocate program I had a couple of phone interviews to work at MS on the paid support team but I didn't want to move across the country at the time. Could have been a step into the industry but, hell, the games industry is even more volatile than what I do now so it was probably for the best I didn't take it.

wow lol.. they announced thet graphic thing way back even before age of conan was released.. so its finnaly happening huh.

Some great memories i have of anarchy online, and with some updated graphics ill be sure to give this a whirl, would assume theres be a decent influx of newbies after the engine update hits live.

always been my issue picking this up again, just old settled players and the outdated graphics.

the video looks great, models quite a bit better then I remember them too; but its been a while
