Anarchy Online: Lost Eden Interview

GameZone had the chance to sit down with Funcom game director Morten Byom for a brief interview about their Anarchy Online: Lost Eden expansion pack.
Q: What do you think makes for a compelling MMO and how does Anarchy Online fit that description?

A: A compelling MMO to me is one that gives me a way to log in and feel like I've escaped reality for awhile. It makes me laugh, makes me feel an adrenaline rush and is one that leaves me feeling as if I've accomplished something and had fun in the process. AO allows you to experience a wide range of emotions in a simply stunning world. It's quite difficult to explain a good MMO experience to someone who hasn't tried a virtual world it's something you need to experience to believe. The community is such a big factor in MMO's and I believe that AO has the best community in gaming today.
