My friend go me hooked on AO when he quit so when I started playing he gave me his strategy guide... I used it a little bit i learned how to master scripts and macros thanks to it and it had some decent maps... no for about a year atleast its been sitting in my box labeled crap until one day I decided to look at it for some strange reason... and reading it turned out to be nearly one of the funniest things I have been through with AO... the following quotes are exact quotes from this "strategy guide"
Profession quotes:
Adventurer: Bottom Line - A profession for those who like morphs and for newbies.
Enforcer: Weapons- Your the king of Melee weapons: get the best ones you can. For backup carry a shotgun or an SMG.
Engineer: Bottomline A good, well rounded, nano-based profession
Trader: Intro- Traders really know how to stretch a buck. parties love them for thei ability to finagle the very best weapons and equiptment for rock-bottom prices.
Weaknesses- No real offensive capabilities.
Weapon- Shotgun is a good choice for a trader. Weapons are strictly for emergencies only for this profession
"The Arena"
Arenas are excellent places to go to practice pvp combat. You and a friend can check into the arena and pound on each other to your heart's content, healing up ever so often and starting again. Of course. arenas are also good places to settle quarrels and questions of precendence.
But they are also good places to get yourself kille. If you and a friend go to the arena for practice, and some tougher guys kill you both... hey, rough day. if another player invites you into the arena for practice and then kills you...shame on YOU for being so gullible
