When I signed up and paid 45-50 bucks for Anarchy Online I presumed I was buying a working product - it doesn't even run on my ATI 128GL which is a fairly standard video card. (I get a nice black screen)
I then spent an entire day trying to patch the beta version to a working version - it simply failed most of the time, I ended up following ridiculously obscure instructions (posted by a player, not anyone official mind you) on the AO bulletin board to eventually get it to work. (things like clicking Cancel at certain points etc, rebooting your machine at others)
All in all, I'd like a refund of my money and I'll consider purchasing it when its working properly, but of course I can't do that apparently - well, I can if I contact my credit card company and complain that I haven't received "working goods".
