The strengths of  Anarchy Credits have always included its action-filled gameplay and the visual ambient setting. In my opinion, there is no other MMORPG out there that can compete with us in ambience and setting. With Shadowlands, I think we once again have proven to be the pinnacle when it comes to this.

For the gameplay element, we realize that players are different, and while its okay for some players under certain circumstances to spend a lot of time in the game, we also want to cater for those that don't have so much time to spend, and may only want to play for a couple of hours and still feel that they get rewarded. That's the absolute strength of our game.

With Shadowlands, we further expanded our game for both the casual and hardcore players. You can, for instance, do epic questing that spans for many days of in-game time, or choose to go with the fast and furious general gameplay, where quick experience and interesting rewards are always fairly close in the horizon.

Jonric: Which aspects of your vision for the future of  Anarchy Credits are you most looking to realize in Alien invasion? And what considerations and factors influenced you in these decisions?

Marius Enge: For me it's important to look at what  Anarchy Credits has to offer, and continue to build on that. The thing that means the most to me is - like I already mentioned - the gameplay! Everyone knows that fun rules, and in that regard, gameplay is king. With this expansion, we will continue to build on that - fast and fun gameplay, risks but also rewards, and less downtime. When you play AO, you should be able to have action going on almost constantly.

Another thing that's very important is, of course, the social elements, and in this area, our players have been asking to get organizational headquarters (OHQ) for a long time. We take great pride in listening to our players and fans, and decided that this was something we had to give them. The OHQs are huge buildings placed in player-made towns, where the different organizations are able to gather their members, and also get some benefits in the game.

Playing an MMORPG, when you are together with friends in the same organization (this is the same as a guild by the way) is the most fun, and we want to encourage our players to do this. We also want to reward the organizations for doing things together, and the upcoming OHQ feature is one of those things. There will be other types of houses as well, and you will be able to get different rooms inside your OHQ where you can get different benefits, based on what your guild wants to focus on. Did I mention that some of the houses will have their own landing pads for flying vehicles?
