Partying Anarchy Online style
A big party in the glass-floored night club at Stret West Bank called the Leet Retreat. You can see me in my stripy party gear in the centre of the picture. This party was to celebrate three years of Anarchy Online.
Home Sweet Home
This is me with my pet demon, Sylvester, standing in the city that belongs to my Organisation 'Ring of Destruction'. Sylvester is my attack pet. Pookie and Nermal, my other two pets hover nearby. Pookie is a heal pet and keeps me alive (sometimes) and Nermal is a mezmerising pet that confuses my enemies.
Beach Party
Here I am on the Beach in Elysium. Elysium is one of the lands that lies beyond the Jobe portal in the shadowlands. This is not such an idyllic place as it looks, we are on the very edge of the world here where the land breaks off and falls into the abyss and the fearsome Hecklers roam. Everyone here is preparing for a Heckler hunt, very dangerous but very rewarding if you succeed.
If you click on the picture you will load the much larger version and be ble to see the details better.
Heckler
Ooops! A Heckler has found his way to the beach. He's the lump of rock in the centre of the picture, he's much bigger than he looks here because he's stooping down to hit someone. He'll have been led here by a fleeing player, now we're all going to suffer. If his friends arrive everyone on the beach will have to run or be killed.
