OT: Anarchy Online

David E. Gervais · #1 June 2nd, 2005, 07:12 AM

I'm going to try and log in as many hours as possible this weekend. If you play AO just log into server 2 and look me up. My Character Name is Valorstar. (level 13 but should be at level 15 by the time the weekend comes around) I also have characters with the names Valorhand, Valorclaw.

I hope to do some 'team' missions on the weekend.

Cheers!

I downloaded it yestarday but was to busy to play it. I don't know what I will name my character yet, most likely "Friendly Fire" until I get the hang of the game.

A little note about character naming in AO,.. only the first letter is capitalized and no special characters like underscore dash or spaces are allowed. So your name would end up looking like 'Friendlyfire'.

So far my characters all have the prefix 'Valor' to the name..

Valorhawk, Valorclaw, Valorstar, Valorheart, and Valorsun (to become my main chatarcter eventually)

I hope to see you online, we'll have a blast.

Cheers!

Wow, snagged some new people!

Latest news from my front: Ran into my first tower battle last night. I was just transiting through the whompahs at 2 Holes when I noticed a largish group of Omnis near by. They were talking about team strategy and it was clear that they were planning to attack a Clan tower nearby. So I played the neutral observer and tagged along. One even invited me into one of their teams (thought I was Omni maybe?) but I declined.

It was a small tower patch, just one control tower and one assist tower, and it didn't take long for Clan to rush to defend. I was attacked by an Omni who took me down to half health. I retreated without counterattacking and sent a tell saying that I was a neutral observer. She apologized.

Clan won pretty handily. I notice that PvP in AO is kind of funny because there are level limits, so sometimes, the Omnis would be attacking the towers with impunity while high level Clanners just watched because they could not attack the Omnis due to level limits. When this happened, they just logged out and logged in again with appropriate level twinks to engage.

I've also been talking to Shattered Dreams, a neutral organization focused on role-playing, about joining up. We'll see how that goes.

P.S. I notice that Agentzero's Saraea went Omni. Interesting...

In the interests of coordination, my characters, all on Rimor, are:

Deccan, lvl 85 neutral Martial Artist
Yatima, lvl 27 Omni engineer
Omegared, lvl 5 Clam agent (still on newbie isle)

To see if another character is online, add him/her to your buddy list:

/cc addbuddy deccan

You can then open your friends window to see if anyone there is online.

Deccan, I missed seeing your message, sorry. I added you to my buddy list so next time I see you online I'l PM you.

I'm gonna try to be online for most of the weekend, starting just about now.

The character I'm working on leveling is Valorsun

At some point I'll need to transfer all my stuff from Valorstar to make 'sun' my main character.

Cheers!

Maybe we should organize a good team mix, ie doctor, engineer, nanotechnician, adventurer, and perhaps a few others. Try to keep us all neutral for the start of the game.

What do you think? we could all meet on newbie isle on the weekend and create new 'team' characters. I like to heal people, so an adventurer or doc would be good for me.

Cheers!
