Greetings!
If you’re like me and are either new or returning to Anarchy Online (AO), you probably have a lot of questions on how to play and what to do. And I feel ya. I’ve been there!
I wanted to make a quick topic here on some links with helpful information to at least get you started on your adventures on Rubi-Ka. This game is large so I can’t possibly find all the info you need. But I hope this still helps!
-
First off is character creation. Here’s a post on ao-universe that gives a quick breakdown of the breeds (aka races) and professions (aka classes) in AO. Character Creation • AO-Universe
-
Once done, you’ll find yourself in the tutorial area known as Arete Landing. Shameless plug here, but that’s the guide I wrote XD. Arete Landing • AO-Universe Still updating it as I came back after a few years. But still helpful!
-
While on Arete Landing, you can contact a help bot named AQuest. What you do is type “/tell Aquest !help” (without quotation marks). You’ll receive a tell back in blue coloring that is underlined called Main Menu. Clicking on that will open up a new window with information you can click through to help you while in Arete.
-
If you are new or just lost in game, type “/tell froob200 !join” (without quotation marks) and you’ll join a group that is made specifically for new players/lost players/froobs/etc.
-
Now, once you leave Arete you’ll be in Andromeda aka ICC HQ. Talk to every NPC that has a blue name (they usually have info or even missions (aka quests) for you.
-
Looking for more help on perhaps finding a Nano or finding out some timers?? Type, “/tell zetabyte !join” (without quotation marks) and get some help with another helpbot!
-
If you’re new and still confused about things, you can check out what are known as Backyards. Each faction has once (Clan, Omni, or Neutral). There you can find a Guide, some help squares, and you can practice fighting more.
- You can also find some start-up quests for your faction as well. They can get you some maps as well as let you see some of the cities around. You’ll even learn about the Whompah!
- Hm, what else. Here are some helpful websites for you to use!

If anyone can think of anything else to add, do post it here! Maybe this can get stickied!
