“Funcom and Troll Tech announce a Linux version of Funcom’s
Massive Multi-Player game Anarchy Online.”
“Funcom is pleased to announce the Linux version of our Massive
Multi-player Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) Anarchy Online.
Anarchy Online is Funcom’s largest project ever and the game will
be launched during the year 2000 after a thorough beta testing. The
game can be compared to online titles such as Everquest and
Asheron’s Call. However, Anarchy Online is set in a sci-fi
environment 30.000 years into the future on a distant planet called
Rubi-Ka. The players interact and play in a graphical detailed
3D-world alongside thousands of other players.”
“Funcom has been using Linux and Troll Tech’s Qt technology
since project-launch approximately three years ago. Qt powers
editors, game tools and the game client itself, and the Qt
technology has allowed Funcom to keep nearly the entire code
platform independent. “Using Qt technology has proven very
beneficial in terms of project planning and time management. Making
the Linux port will now be a trivial operation, ” states Marius
Kjeldahl, Funcom’s VP of Technology.”
