OT: Anarchy Online

[deccan]

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!

Well I log on and set up a character, Seiticorta. I am now sitting at some ship reck wondering what in the hell to do. I hate reading so much dialog...... boring.

Any ways, if this is as good as the game gets, sorry David, to much like a real job for my tastes. Any insights?

[deccan]

David is online as Valorsun as I type this Atrocities. This is an MMORPG, so go kill stuff, loot, get levels and all that. I can understand if that's not to everyone's taste, but David seems to be hooked...

Hearing the nurse's dialogue at the wreck is not important, but getting the dialogue of the guy at the beach is kind of important. He gives you some simple starter quests that will net you some essential items, and send you on your way to do other quests.

Thanks Duccan, will try again then. How do you find people you know in the game?
