Funcom is straightforward when it states that players have to be a part of an organization to enjoy most of what Alien Invasion has to offer. With organizations -- the Anarchy Online version of a player guild -- groups of players can ally under a shared banner to partake in the two major additions that Alien Invasion has to offer: player-created cities, and the alien attacks.

For one, there's some new GUI functionality, which includes the ability to sort inventories, a new chat interface, and on-screen windows that can be docked wherever you like. Nano programmers, engineers, pharmacists, and other trade-skill gurus can make use of a new trade-skill interface that displays the ingredients and resulting end product before a combine is made, taking a lot of the guesswork out of experimenting with the game's incredible array of seemingly useless knickknacks and doodads.
