Iron Man returns to RK2019 with updated rules, changes, and new challenges to test your might and skills! ARE YOU UP FOR THE TASK?!

This season the Iron Man faction will be NEUTRAL!

From Iron Man's mission statement:

The Ironman challenge is a hardcore version of gameplay based on a PvM challenge. "The challenge provides a stringent set of rules to facilitate play that mimics the old-school way of playing Anarchy Online.

With the playing field generally leveled, the Ironman challenge provides a rich opportunity to improve knowledge of Anarchy Online, experience missed content that may normally be considered obsolete and to foster a sense of community with fellow Ironman players during this shared experience."

If this is something you would enjoy experiencing, hop into their Iron Man Discord and check out the following channels for more information:

Announcements
Code-of-Conduct
Challenge-rules
lounge (where you can chat and ask questions)

Also, you may never need to worry about needed outside buffs again!

In addition to a well-rounded adventure, a knowledgeable group of players, and a peaceful, friendly less crowded server (RK19-Paid only), Iron Man also offers a series of buffing characters to help not only Iron Man participants but all players on RK19, (even between Iron Man seasons).

If you'd like to help support keeping the Buffing bots up and running please visit Keep Code's Buff Bots Alive

Iron Man hopes to see you in the challenges of SEASON 9

FAFFY’S ANARCHY ONLINE FROOB GUIDE 13.06.2024

By Cariadast

The AO community continues to amaze in so many ways! While we have worked hard to ensure that many of your questions can be answered using Anarchy Online Universe, we revel in other's hard work for the community as well!

This week we want to celebrate and point out Reddit user Sparklyfoot released: FAFFY’S ANARCHY ONLINE FROOB GUIDE

Sparklyfoot states that it covers everything from what to do after leaving Arete, how to make money, the new bots, a leveling guide, how to gear up, and a profession-specific section.

They have also included several other resource and guide links as well as resources for a weapon guide and an IP distribution guide.

We appreciate the effort that goes into such a guide. This current guide seems more focused on RK than SL but it is well-written and organized at our first look!

Please take a look at the AO Reddit Post for any questions or suggestions and the full FAFFY’S ANARCHY ONLINE FROOB GUIDE.

Thank you Sparklyfoot for your dedication to the AO community, and great work!

Community-AOGalaxy 04.02.2024

By Cariadast

Yet another dedicated community member has created a useful tool to assist the players of AO! dyrshin has been busy working on a site to help players of Anarchy Online.

While the site is in its early stages, it currently boasts an active, informative Nanoline page located here:

AOGalaxy

Just pick your profession from the list on the left and start exploring the Nanos for your chosen profession.

The Nanoline page contains profession Nanos by categories, and provides info like:

Name
- The name of the Nano

Location
- Where or how the Nano can be found/obtained

Stats:
- Level of the Nano
  Cast time
  Recharge time
  Nano Cost
  NCU Cost

Modify (known as Effects in AUNO)
- What Skill(s) effects it provides/modifies

Requirements (reqs)
- Level reqs to cast/use the nano
  Nano Skills reqs

Note: clicking the name of the Nano takes you to the AUNO page representing that specific nano, so if you want to double-check it, AOGalaxy makes it easy!

That's not all that AOGalaxy plans to offer. They are working on membership ability with profiles and stat setup(s) for your various character(s). There is also some consideration regarding adding an item database in the future if it is something that receives interest.

AOGalaxy is looking for both feedback and requests in an effort to make the site more useful for the community. If you have helpful thoughts or suggestions, you can drop dyrshin a line in Discord directly or leave some feedback on the Discord Anarchy Online Forum section in AOGalaxy! Nanolines
.

Future of the ARK Program 13.06.2023

By Cariadast

Today Umbrols from FunCom, in the Customer Support area announced the discontinuation of our beloved ARK (Advisors of Rubi-Ka) program. You can read the details on the FunCom forums: https://forums.funcom.com/t/future-of-t ... ram/230929

We at AOU are at a loss for words as to why this would be happening, so the only words we can offer are THANK YOU to ALL of the Advisors of Rubki-Ka, present and past, for the dedication you showed. As well as the hard work you gave, and the unconditional support you provided to this game and its community.

Thank you for carrying the needs and concerns of the players through the years, and helping players when times called for it. AOU has appreciated and enjoyed working with you over the decades and is proud to have had a number of you counted in our staff and ranks here at AOU.

You will be deeply, regretfully missed.

We will not forget!

Transmission online…

I need keep quite, incase they hear me, but I saw a new Alien ship, I thought i would investigate before putting out the call to arms.

Upon entering the ship I lost all my powers and had no defence, the door shut behind me.
Quickly I ran to hide behind some strange alien containers, their I could see a new type of alien, never seen before. If I move I could be seen and disintegrated.

Oh no! I feel the ships engines starting, I am trapped!
My comms is loosing power, what is this ship.
I must say this quick before my comms fails.

This maybe the last transmission to you all.

All I can say is you are the best and I have enjoyed every moment and event with you all, I hope myself and the events team have brought you a smile into your life. I must tell you something really important before my comms fails. What ever you do don't ………….

End of transmission…

Community - TinkerTools 11.02.2023

By Saavick

The Anarchy Online community continues to amaze me with the various cool tools people create to make the game more fun for everyone.

This week the TinkeringIdiot a.k.a. FloridaMan released his latest tool called TinkerFite, which lets you enter your skills, profession, level etc and then ranks every eligible weapon in the game based on min damage, average damage per second, speed, and various other things you can choose. This should be useful for both new players ("what weapon should a level 35 froob fixer use?") and end game players ("should I use 2he or melee energy on my 220 keeper?"). Veterans can also fill in the many parameters and then share a link to the exact search with new players who might not know what exactly to look for.

You can find TinkerFite here. Also make sure to check out his implant designer TinkerPlants and dynamic nuke table TinkerNukes to decide which Nano-technician nukes best fit your skills.

You can also find TinkerTools and many other tools made over the years here on AO-Universe in the links section.
