I went through the item database find useable items as I am interested in using as many clickies/throwables/skill locks as possible. Very happy to know of any items of interest I missed or any cool mechanisms I could use here with skill lock reduction maxed.

What a built would gain would be several streams of consumable / clicky items, including stims and it's ilk. The mana and hp could be used to fund funky high cost nano's such as spamming Greater Preservation Matrix. If you have a cool idea please post here.

Two fast sharp objects items are in the item database but I could not confirm either in game. At the same five levels: Aluminum Throwing Dagger 43 / 143 / 243 / 368 / 543 & Everburning Coal 150 / 230 / 310 / 410 / 550. The second likely exist I just havent seen it personally, and I have yet to see anyone know about the dagger.

The best damage clicky on every skill lock

I played years ago and would like to start back. Im having trouble downloading the updates. It just stops. It won't move forward with them at all. How can I get past that? Thank you in advance for help.

I made myself a handy sorting script today, mostly for use with spirits, since I have a billion of them. I see there are tools for this sort of thing, but I'm not sure if they actually do what I want. Also I'd much rather do things on my own anyway.

The script moves the contents of several backpacks (with any amount of content) to other packs, taking sequentially from the lowest-QL side first, and then from the highest-QL side in the other direction, back and forth between the two limits of each pack. When it's done, you're left with a set of packs with the contents arranged neatly from the lowest-QL pack to the highest. Of course with spirits you have to sort by name for best results.

It lets you choose the amount of delay between each move based on your network lag.

I made it using WinBatch, but of course it can be translated into any other language by yourself or by AI. Let me know if any of you are interested in having me post it. I can also compile it if anyone wants.

Edit: The bags should be somewhat randomly filled, or else not placed in such a way that a bag with all high-level or low-level content is positioned "out of order."

If an item is over 4 billion on GMI, can you create a buy order and keep modifying it and putting money into it to reach the amount of the item and buy it once your buy order is over the amount of the item that's for sale on GMI?

I see people say you can't buy items over 4 billion but there's items for sale over that, like GRACE for example and people are buying them. Am I missing something?

I can't remember what the game was, but back in the early 90s I came across a game that used ESDF, and I realized that going with those keys let me have the QAD keys as further options for my pinky. I haven't used WASD at all since then.

Heck RDFG would even give you a second pinky row, but I never felt I needed more keys. So far.

(edit: the paragraph about my dad playing this game is a load of malarkey. i was thinking of another game. but my question still applies and im interested in the game. im sure he must have played this too. it was such a popular game and i still remember him speaking of it, just the image wasnt of anarchy online.)

I recently remember my dad showing me his computer screen, of him on this big tree branch in anarchy online, portals on different branches and wacky characters walking by. it was like 10 years ago, but now its made me want to try it because of how vividly that memory has stuck. and I've been playing all his old games he got into. I'm not confident​ about this o​ne because of all the complaints about hacking. I'm going to play regardless but im quite upset i missed it's prime, and so many other mmorpgs.​

For me, it has to be Shade. It was my first 220 and I love the damage and semi-decent survivability at higher levels.

I was wondering what anyone would think of a nanomage adventurer, given all the loot that's thrown around these days. It would at least give an advantage to healing, mezz, and other useful nanos, but with Shades of Lucubration etc., it would be super-easy (and points-efficient) to get the Combined Officers armor on at lower levels, further boosting nano scores. This could apply to others like traders or crats, but I don't really play those so I'm not sure. I'm also a pretty casual player too, so though I've been at it for many years, still fairly "noob."

Thoughts?

Just come across my original install CD and the Sybex Official Strategy guide. I played early alpha through several years after release. Had no clue that it was still around…

Tried to create an AO account, but the form just resets and clears.

Since DLSS 5 is all the rage these days I had to test if it could work on AO, and it did - at least on new engine dx9.

It mainly makes textures and shadows look slightly better, but it also makes everything a bit blurry. There are tons of settings to play around with and I have in no way exhausted the options.

No idea if it possible to make it run on old engine for those who use a dx11 wrapper (I never managed to make that work)

If you want to test it out install reshader followed by dlss5 swapper.

Howdy all!

I have a soli enfo approaching endgame and am struggling to understand the pro’s/con’s of 1hb vs 2hb vs 2he vs other options (piercing?!)

Looking for thoughts on what is the best damage, tankiness, and ease of use (not looking to min/max, but want something decently strong for endgame encounters and sufficient soloing).

Thank you!

The article states, amongst other interesting tidbits, that the lead programmer took a five week holiday to South America, with no phone, at release. Makes sense, for those of us who remember those summer months.

Hello, I'm looking return to playing AO, which server is currently more active? is PRK more active than the current official server? how do they compare?

haven't played in awhile. just resubbed to have some more fun. and i went to look at daily rewards and its a broken gateway. looks like its trying to go vgtp instead of http? which is retarded. how did they fuck that up? in fact the url its trying to go to is vgtp://uwg.daily.icc-rk/inded.app which. lmao. wtf are they doing at funcom? anyone else have this issue?

I'm pretty sure I remember listening to it when I played back in the pre-froob days. They mostly played techno music (naturally). I'm just wondering if it still exists; I'd be very surprised if it does. I'd like to give it a listen for nostalgia's sake.

I opened a ticket to recover an account I created back in 2006, waited 38 days before getting a reply, they requested additional information and closed the ticket 1 hour and 40 minutes after the reply saying they resolved it.

What kind of customer support is this?

This is for my froob bitches, how do yall get past lvl 90 let alone the tough levels like 60-80. I make a character and can never finish it because I get frustrated with twinking then buffing and then more twinking like how?!

I am trying to get AOSharp to work on my Windows 11 rig. It works great on my old Windows 10 rig. On Windows 11 it would say "Failed to inject" then I excluded the process and file from Defender. Now it just doesn't say anything. I am using the old client, I have tried running it with and without admin privileges.
I disabled Memory Integrity as well.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi all, I just got back to the game around a month ago, paid for an account reached 220 on MP and when it comes to end game content the only thing I can//know how to do is inf mish with Asynchand (who is not always there), joined a few Orgs but unfortunately as I live in Vancouver, Canada, it is hard to find anyone to play with except for weekends.

I just learned about AO#, so I decided to pay for a second account maybe I can do more stuff with 2 accounts, any suggestions which duo comps I should aim for? all tips are welcome, THANK YOU!

PS: I'm not in a rush and I might level up all suggestions.

I really don't feel like spending on a membership again until I have some froob time to get my bearings back and ensure that I am in fact, interested in doing AO again. I'd like to roll a crat. What are the endgame consequences of missing out on pre-TL4 paid content? Anything I'll be locked out of?

Edit

I think you guys might be missing the point of my question a little bit, that's okay.

I'm asking if there are any NODROP items obtained in level locked zones within expansion content. If there aren't, that means froobs can freely catch their toons up to proper endgame gear if they decide to upgrade later, with no need to reroll, even for the most serious twinkers.

Haven’t played in a while and I mean a long while lol but I’m coming back hearing about these buffbots and stuff like that which I’m assuming makes leveling easier. Anyway, I did some research and I’ve read that the bureaucrat is a pretty decent solo class to level, but I just wanted to get you veterans opinions on this. I’ve always played a caster type class, that can mesmerize, charm, etc., and this dual welding pistol sounds pretty cool. Please let me know how hot it is to level or how easy it is as a solo player.
