New to Anarchy Online – How to start with Athen Paladins?

Post by lucaspalm »

Hi all,

I’m new to Anarchy Online and joined this forum recently. I’d love to know how to apply for Athen Paladins, what the first steps are in game, and any general advice for a beginner on Rimor server.

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Hi, Welcome to our Forums!

Im Projectbig, one of the officers of AP. Glad you found anarchy online, Its a terrific game with a terrific community. See below for the next steps in joining Athen Paladins and some starting advice.

My personal tips for any first timer is to consult Faffys froob guide, made by a member of the terrific community I talked about earlier. Its a good starting point for new and returning players and you can find it below;
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Jce ... skc9wn6w10

I'm only somewhat familiar with the name Rimor, but the servers currently available are Rubi-Ka and Rubi-Ka 2019. You'll find a majority of players on Rubi-Ka so best to start there.

The IP. I checked as the message sounded a bit like an AI-generated one to me, or not a genuine one. Sorry if it's not the case.

Also, rimor is not a thing for a long long while - a new player wouldnt know there ever was one, or? :-D

Or we are just paranoid! :embarassed:
