Anarchy Online was my first broadband MMO (playing Ultima on dialup doesn't really count), and it will always be amazing to me.

But I also fully recognize it was jumbled mess of poorly balanced characters, PvP that was completely stuck in the status quo, incredibly unclear and obscure mechanics that aren't explained anywhere, and random grindwalls.

But damn if it wasn't fun getting a group of newbies and figuring stuff out.
