For the first time on APB Online world heard in 2008 from the head of the studio Realtime Worlds - Dave Jones. Creator of Lemmings and the original GTA decided to move his most famous creation in the online, but at the same time, and make it clear to the world that the IMO does not end with WoW and like her. The idea was fresh and interesting. Jones wanted to replace all the usual fantasy on an unusually modern. Roughly speaking, "change orkoelfov with wizards for the bandits with the police."

Employees Realtime Worlds pretty sweat to their project was the most interesting and popular. Was announced the creation of an innovative character (avatar), where the user can choose not only the length of hair, hair style, shape, tattoos, piercings, and clothing style, her way of wearing (for example you could choose a T-shirt tucked into pants or rolled up a trouser jeans ), and the number of veins in her arms.

Farther removed the usual way leveling. Realtime Worlds has replaced numerical statistics on the experience of expensive jewelry, clothes and weapons for the characters. In general, the steeper dressed, the steeper the character.

Also in APB tried to do so to capture their foreheads faced characters of the same level. Thus, high level players could not "swing" at the expense of fellow elementary levels.

In general, all charges can be reduced to "it's not what you promised us." In one of his interviews, Jones said that "the game a few years ago, was hanged by the label 'GTA MMO', which we have never spoken. I think that this has generated high expectations. But we have not done that, and I was expecting such a reaction" .

Whatever it was, but the players were not happy, no problem running or the game itself. And by September the project has had 130,000 users at Realtime Worlds expected multimillion-dollar public. Also in August, the developer has touched wave cuts.

As a result, has recently become clear that "the patient more dead than alive."
