Funcom announced an expansion pack to Anarchy Online: Anarchy Online Shadowlands. Here's a part of the press release announcing the key features:
Anarchy Online: Shadowlands planned for 4th quarter release
Oslo, Norway-April 29, 2002 -Anarchy Online: Shadowlands is the new expansion pack currently in development to compliment Anarchy Online, Funcom's award-winning massively multiplayer online game. Shadowlands is currently planned for a 4th quarter 2002 release and will contain many new areas to explore, profession specialization, additional breed variations, higher quality armor and item options, improved graphic effects, and much more.
"Anarchy Online provides players with more freedom to develop their characters than any other MMOG on the market," said Online Services Director Henning Solberg. "With Shadowlands, players will be able to take that to an even higher level while having intriguing new areas to explore and new modified breeds to choose from. We are having a lot of fun making this expansion and we are happy to include many things our current players want to see."
Feature Highlights
New Areas
The two main additions will be the Shadowlands, a collection of many playfields, and the floating city of Jobe.
Profession Specialization and Perks
At certain stages in a character's development, any profession may choose specific areas of specialization. They will keep all existing abilities, while branching off into more specific skills.
As part of the profession specialization, "perks" can be gained in several steps. Some will affect skills and abilities, while others give special abilities. The final list is expected to be quite extensive.
New Breed Variations and Graphic Effects
New breed variations will be modifications of existing breeds and improved graphics effects will enhance the look of buildings, monsters and terrain.
New Armor and Other Items
In addition to new armor options, players will be able to upgrade the quality of existing items.
Funcom is also looking into a number of other exciting enhancements and upgrades to the game. Some are small and others are more extensive. Further details about the contents of the Shadowlands expansion will be made available on www.anarchy-online.com as the development progresses. |
