    Additional Resources

    If you didn't find the information you were looking for here one of these sites might help:

    AUNO and Anarchy Mainframe both allow you to search for any item in the game database by name and examine it's stats.

    Faunlore has information on the creatures of Anarchy Online.

    Travel To Rubi-Ka has detailed maps and other info for each playfield.

    Acronyms, Emoticons & Smilies Page - A pretty good listing of general computing acronyms can be found here.

    Cknow.com Emoticons - Probably the most complete listing of emoticons.

    My cause is just...My will is strong...
    ...And my gun is very, very large!"
    The words of a true soldier.
