I agree with you on pretty much all these points. Anarchy Online is, up to this point, pretty much the ONLY game that has ever kept me playing for a longer period of time. I played AO for little over 2 years, and still more than a year after i left, i find myself thinking back and comparing all other games with it.
The skill system was extremely complex with implants and IPs, but those that really took their time and did the math behind it all, they were Gods! Effort and skill really mattered, not farming gear in the same instance over and over again.
The most fun i ever had in AO was making lowbie twinks, with the enough work you could be untouchable. Unbalanced, yes. Unfair, not really.
I'm still holding on to the idea of Funcom making another Sci-Fi MMORPG, after all they did hint on something with their "The World Online" stuff... Til then i guess i'll check out Age of Conan, because Funcom thought big and won my heart.
