——————
Once you’ve selected an enemy or player that you’d like to
approach, type:
follow
You might also find it useful to create a macro icon for this command,
as follows, and place it in your shortcut bar.
macro fo /follow
Self-termination
————————
If you experience a bug that doesn’t allow you to proceed or escape from
a zone, then you can kill your character by typing the following:
terminate
GM petition
—————-
If you require GM assistance, you can petition for help as follows:
petition X
A standard petition command might look like the following:
petition Help me, I’m stuck in Omni-1, and my character’s left arm has
disappeared! I don’t know where I dropped it, or that I could drop it. 
Show frame rate   - Ctrl+Alt+F
Submit bug report - Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F9
Take screenshots
————————
To take a screenshot, press F12. They’re saved to the Screenshots folder
located in the Funcom/Anarchy Online directory.
Create macros
——————-
To create a macro for a commonly used command like /pet attack,
type the following:
macro pa /pet attack
——————————-
This will create a small, selectable icon that can be put into
your shortcut bar for easy use of the pet attack command.
Completing “live-with” missions
———————————————-
To complete this type of mission, once you’ve found the objective
NPC, simply target him or her, and stay within the vicinity for a
short period of time.
Registering the mission as complete can take as little as 10
seconds, and has on some occasions taken us up to 4 minutes.
Creating implants
————————-
Select the nanocluster you want to insert into the implant by
left clicking it, then hold it over the implant and shift-right
click to combine the two.
You can then go to a surgery clinic to install the implant, if
you meet the requirements.
Nano-programming skill is required for creating implants.
Team looting
——————
As team leader, you can select how loot is divvied up by the team. The most
common choice is alpha, where the spoils can be picked up by characters in
alphanumeric order. To enable this, type:
team loot alpha
 
Other choices include “/team loot leader” and “/team loot FFA”
New player advice
————————-
New players can take advantage of the newbie chat channel,
where GMs and players of up to level 6 can chat about game
mechanics and starting strategies.
To un-squelch the newbie chat channel, click on the friends
icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen, and uncheck
the box next to the channel listing. You can also reach the
shopping channel this way.
