I've always wanted to at least try it since I've never played it before. Maybe this will actually motivate me to buy eet.

don't buy it Dai...just download it for free...the link is in there... yeah no monthly payments, only catch is you don't have the 3 expantions they put out... Crashster already told me he's gonna give it a go for a while so I'll prolly do the same...

lol bane, the game has nothing really to do with anarchy if u ask mei used to play this years ago until i quit. i still have the cd so i guess i might as well try the game out again. its really fun and all, but not really as user friendly as swg
