    I am one of the developers for Project Rubi-Ka, a server emulator/private server for the classic sci-fi MMORPG, Anarchy Online.

    AO is now nearly 25 years old and no longer has any developers at the company that released it, but it is still running.

    I have written over 2,000,000 lines of server emulator code for AO. I am now probably one of the world’s foremost experts in how the game works.

      Huh… I have definitely played Anarchy Online at some point in my life but only just remembering now after checking YouTube to find out what it actually is. I think I didn’t get very far at all…

      The UI and aesthetic is so nostalgic. I miss games like this, except for the unnecessary complexity that got in the way of the game.

      With all the extra processing power we have now, I wish we could see more games like this but polished.
