However, neither Shadowlands nor Anarchy Online is for the casual fan of MMPs. This is an immersive world that requires players to learn, and learn quickly. The game is wrapped up in its own technological terms which embraces nano programming, implants and an array of skills that step outside the boundaries of most games within the genre. There is so much more happening here that the world can be somewhat daunting and confusing for the player just starting.

But fortunately, FunCom has foreseen that this game may cause some confusion and has integrated a thorough helper/assistant system of upper-level players who can help answer questions newcomers to the lands may have, as well as pull a newbie from somewhere that he or she should not be.
