Lets go over the good bits of this game. With both the base game of Anarchy Online and the Shadowlands the game is absolutely huge. Another good aspect of this game it caters both those who enjoy single play and/or team play. A game player or a team of players can gain quests/missions which are catered to one's faction. Of course the player can take on a mission beyond his or her ability, or a single player can take quest/mission built for a team of characters but that would indeed be silly. Of course you can choose not to do quests/missions and just explore and interact with the world, but through quests/missions one can increase one's standing in his or her faction.
