The city of Jobe will be the first new location players will experience before entering the metaphysical realm of the Shadowlands. The neutral city will be comprised of three large interconnected islands and house the portal to the dark side of Rubi-Ka. The Shadowlands themselves will be comprised of several enormous new playfields that range from the idyllic to the infernal. Visually, Shadowlands will show a drastic graphic enhancement over the current in-game graphics for Anarchy Online. Funcom has been working on improving the existing graphics engine over the last few years and have managed to increase the number of polygons in both characters and backgrounds significantly. Character and background textures will also see an improvement. Environmental enhancements will also include realistic boides of water with reflective, rippling surfaces and blinding snowstorms.
