  • Anarchy Online accounts.  For a year.  Did I mention they're absolutely free?

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>From what I've seen, the first couple of megs download very slowly, no matter how many seeds you connect to. Then once you've got a few megs, you start uploading to other people, and both upstream and downstream increase rapidly from there.</div>
