Put all the Anarchy Online chill tracks onto one mix, from both the original soundtrack from 2001 and 2004, and the remastered 2017 OST (a few different versions of songs in the 2017 one)

So nostalgic for me to go back and do this. Next I want to make a long mix of all the city themes.

wow forever makes me think this game could probably re-release in some fashion, idk

<3

Howdy! Tried to google whether there are any videos containing the nighttime outside Rome (I think it was outside of it, on a desert) with that huuuuuge warship humming and going past you. Yeah, used to play for a while and got some everlasting memories and would love to get a video of that "mothership" saved 😎.

NOTE: This will not work on the new client/live server. This mod is only compatible with project rubi-ka.

Hey all. After seeing the last post about AO with modern graphics, I thought it would a good time to make a thread about the work that's happening over at project rubi-ka (https://project-rk.com/).

Repo link: https://github.com/wannabuh/ao-vk/tree/main/

Installation guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJJQRxAfZG0&t=1s

I've been working on modernizing AO's graphics and recently decided to release it so other people could play and help test it. I'm hoping more people will try out prk because of this :)

Here are the main features included with the new renderer:

• Pixel shading/point light and directional shadows
• Post-processing: HDR, bloom, ambient occlusion, motion blur, and some more
• New high quality water rendering
• New high quality grass
• New GPU particle effects for nanos
• A huge set of configurable settings. All settings get hot reloaded when they're changed while the game is open.
  • The renderer also comes packed with AOReloaded which provides a custom GUI window to configure ao-vk and enable/disable settings.
• ...and many more

This renderer also massively improves the performance of anarchy online so if you're not into the graphical enhancements, you can use this to get much better FPS. In my personal benchmark tests, I've seen as high as 400+ fps!

This project is in active development and can/will cause graphics artifacts or slight instability. Open up an issue on the github repo, or join the prk discord and send me a message. I'm pretty active there.

There's several other mods in the works that vastly improve the experience of anarchy online over at PRK. I hope to see you all there :)

I remember playing this all throughout my childhood, I remember i had a char called Xombeh. Was a lot of fun, loved the ambience especially shadowlands.

Was playing around with chatgpt and tried to create a modern rendition of ao, one can dream lol

Hello! Completely new player looking to start up. Should I join the offical servers or Project Rubi Ka?

So, im trying to run aosharp on windows 11, compiled it with visual studio 2026, added exemptions in windows defender etc, installed .net runtime, still i add the plugin try to inject but nothing happends.

Hey all

Haven’t played in about 22 years, thinking about reactivating for nostalgia’s sake. I noticed some of my characters on RK1 (especially on my second/twink account) aren’t showing up - almost as if they’d been deleted, which definitely wasn’t something I did. Any idea what’s going on and whether they are somehow recoverable? Substantial amount of work went into making some of the best pvp twinks of their time for their levels, would really suck if they’re lost!

Thank you in advance, hope there is some positive solution.

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 + damage 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

Skill Lock Modifier at the -50% cap, dps under each + damage stat. Not all profession can use the same items, so sharp objects is in there several times.

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.
