In less than two weeks time, Norwegian-based developer Funcom will be releasing Shadowlands, the long-awaited expansion to their critically acclaimed PC MMORPG Anarchy Online. Last week, RPGFan was taken on a tour through several of the various playfields to highlight many of the new features and additions in the upcoming expansion. The event was both thrilling and insightful and we hope you find this feature informative and enjoyable.

First we offer an in-depth recounting of our trip through the darker side of Rubi-Ka with The Journey. The narrative is somewhat in-character, but filled with details on what the expansion has to offer. For the gaming critic and intellectual, we have our Shadowlands Commentary, where we discuss several of the expansion's facets from the points of view of the Anarchy Online Veteran, the MMORPG Expert and the Complete Newbie. Lastly, we have the Tour Gallery with over 200 images from our adventure into the Shadowlands.

We hope you enjoy our feature and we look forward to seeing you all in Shadowlands when the game hits retail shelves on September 9th 2003.
