Anarchy Online - how to use GMS as your (inifinite) credit store (Part 3 - fun credit facts)

2023-06-27T23:09:00.003+02:00

Anarchy online credits and its limitations can be a source of frustration and discussion. This post is meant to be a reference of its limits.

GMS 3.999.999.999 credits (not locked)

With 3.999.999.999 credits you will be able to interact with the GMS.

GMS 4.000.000.000 credits (not locked)

With 4b credits you will still be able to interact with the GMS.

GMS 4.000.000.001 credits (LOCKED)

When you have more then 4b credits you will not be able to interact in any way with the GMS other then withdrawing credits.

Character credit limit

A common misconception: one Toon CAN carry exactly and maximally 1b credits. The misconception comes from the weird fact that you can only withdraw a maximum of 999.999.999 credits from the GMS.

Organization credit limit

Request an orgs Bank Account balance with "/org bank".

For completeness I'm also including the limit an organizations bank has. The bank of an organization can carry max. 3.999.999.999 credits. Credits can be added to your org's bank by using the command "/org bank add 1". If the credit limit would be exceeded then the command fails to execute without any message.

Part two - 55 days have passed

So you have followed my previous post about making a buy order. Smart as you are you ofcourse selected the maximum of 56 days for that order. But now those 56 days have almost passed! O.m.g.!! What to do now?? Should I panic? Should I fret?

NO NEED here's what you do!

Step 1 - create an additional buy order

First off you create an additional buy order, similar to what you did in my previous post. Lets say you made your 2nd buy order for 2b.

End result is, you have 2 buy orders up:

The old buy order from about 56 days ago for e.g. 100b.
The new and fresh created buy order for e.g. 2b.

Step 2 - withdraw from old buy order

Now what you do, is you withdraw from your old buy order untill you have about 3.5b credits in your GMS Account Balance.

Step 3 - add you new buy order

Raise your newly minted buy order with 3b. Your Account Balance should be somewhere below 1b.

Step 4 - goto step 2

Now you rince-repeat. Go to step 2 untill your old buy order has cleared up. Benefit of this approach is that you dont have to mess with your Mail terminal. Every step you do here should be in the Market Terminal itself. Key here is that you don't raise your balance above 3.999.999.999.

It also helps to withdraw and add your credits in 1b increments; 3b ideally, sometimes a step using 2b works better.

Even though, after you've got the hang of it, this seems quite obvious, I hope this will help someone.

See you ingame!

Anarchy Online - how to use GMS as your (inifinite) credit store

2023-04-18T19:03:00.001+02:00

Hello,

A lot of you people probably know how this works. But some of you are struggling to figure it out. When I heard of this, it also took me a minute to understand how its done.

Well here I go and explain to you guys how a lot of these players handle their many billions of credits in the game we all love: Anarchy Online.

It all starts with a "Buy Order". This actually is a request to purchase an item in the GMS for a certain amount of credits. Because we don't actually want to buy the item but only want to use it for credit storage we will select an item that cannot be sold/bought in GMS's.

Step 1: select an item

In your GMS find a backpack of your choice.

Select the item and press the "Create Buy Order" button

Step 2: create Buy Order

In the following screen fill in a "Price per unit" and a "Units to buy". Set the duration to the max of 56 days. That way your credits are "safe for at least 50ish days. In my screenshot I entered a lower value for demo purposes, but if you have for example at the moment 3b in your GMS you can set "Price per unit" to 1.000.000.000 and the "Units to buy" to 3.

So basically fill in any combination of "Price per unit" and "Units to buy" such that your GMS credit amount is almost 0. I usually do this per 1b or in some cases per 100mil. After that exercise you end up with a buy order up AND near to 0 credits in your GMS.

Step 3: Fill your GMS credit total back up

The next step is to "fill'r up" again. Open up your mail terminal and your piggybanks and raise your GMS credit balance back to near 4b. Please be aware: NEVER raise it to 4b or higher, this locks the GMS up.

Step 4: Raise your Buy Order price

Locate your Buy Order, select it and press "Modify". You can then raise the buy order up by e.g. 3.000.000.000. This will modify the buy order and again draw your GMS balance clear.

Rince repeat Steps 3 and 4 to your delight.

If you do it right your GMS balance will never be 4.000.000.000 or higher and it will not lock.

I hope this helps you understand how to use GMS as your (inifinite) credit store.

In a bit I will make you a post explaining what to do when you reach that pesky 56 expiration date. There's a trick for that too!

Fatpower rocks (for remembering my blog, even I didnt!)

2016-08-26T21:21:00.001+02:00

Today I was preparing for one of my alts to get an inferno key (organizations are real families in this game). I was loitering - an hour early - when up came an other team of goons. They were gonna do the Inferno key quests too and had a free spot. Me doing the quest earlier would imply that someone else would be able to get the quest too an hour later. So the choice was easily made. I got my alt an inferno key. Thank you Fatpower, Tron404, Oosny, Johtajatar and Meesny for the key! And why post this long after the last post I did, you ask? Well Fatpower remembered my blog from that time! I thought that was very cool! Thanks again guys 'n dolls!

I thought I'd check out my screenprints folder.

I found this picture and I have the nagging feeling that I made the picture to remember something.

Problem is I have no clue!

Do you have any idea where this is and what this could be related to?

ARG!! Hand over the phats now!!

2010-07-05T21:46:00.004+02:00

So I've been looking to buy a Subspace Mesh for a while now.

Every once in a while someone gives me a tell like this:

[him]: i got one in stock Subspace Mesh, how many do you offer for that ?

I then go like

[me]: Hello there, cool. Do you have a price in mind?

We then spar a bit and i give him a decent price of around 200/175m.

After that they -all- tell me something like

[him]: Hmm on second thought i'll just keep it for a friend or something.

Me being curious i always ask

[me]: What price would you have sold it for?

Then the cat comes out of the bag, they never really intended to sell it anyway...

ARG!! Hand over the phats now!!

(and yes ive killed LH / RH a few times myself aswell)

I dont have a dog! The density of some ...

[Random_person]: Hi

To [Random_person]: hello

[Random_person]: uwant to buy nano program?

To [Random_person]: yes i do

[Random_person]: offer!

To [Random_person]: Well ...

To [Random_person]: gms prices are insane. I can offer you 35m but that is my maximum

To [Random_person]: what do you reckon

[Random_person]: well you want l have, 35m is nowhere near what lm asking so no deal lm afraid gl in getting it for 35m, l mean that sincerely

To [Random_person]: see you around and have fun

[Random_person]: yup you too

To [Random_person]: oh and by the way you didnt "ask" for anything

[Random_person]: ?

To [Random_person]: You said you had an asking price but you didnt. You asked for an offer

[Random_person]: well since 35m was your maximum offer and l want alot more, was no point in negoitiating imo

To [Random_person]: agreed, regardless you cant refer to an asking price that is not there

[Random_person]: well l asked you to make offer, your offer was fasr too low either way result is no deal

To [Random_person]: agreed though grammatically my point stands

[Random_person]: no it doesnt, l ask you to make an offer you did, it didnt meet the price l wanted to sell for

To [Random_person]: agreed, however "the asking price" you are referring to has never been a reality

[Random_person]: plus l didnt send WTS message, so whats ur point?

To [Random_person]: Well my point is that this conversation was never about my dog so i am not evolving him into my conversation

[Random_person]: wewhatever mate, you wanted to buy, l ask u to make offer, ur offer was way too low end of!

To [Random_person]: of?!

No hecklers around = KITE SPOT, MOVE OUT!

2010-01-02T20:38:00.004+01:00

I was all excited and stuff, we were killing hecklers around the bay below the entrance to elysium. That is not and never was a kite area btw ... We got trained horribly by some doc outside tanking. He must have seen us, he just blew right through us. In the end he said sorry, so we move on :).

To [Some220Doc]: ??

[Some220Doc]: kite spot

To [Some220Doc]: no it is not

[Some220Doc]: yes it is when you see no heck around you

To [Some220Doc]: we were just killing one at 50%, i had two mezzed, you telling me there were no hecklers?

[Some220Doc]: near sh

To [Some220Doc]: i dont mind you ost, ive done it before, but if you see lowish people you turn back

[Some220Doc]: i can't control heckler

To [Some220Doc]: you can turn back

[Some220Doc]: if anyone hit one have aggro i can't do nothing

[Some220Doc]: no the heck go on you

To [Some220Doc]: you should have turned back before you reached is

[Some220Doc]: i can just ch for try aggro heck

To [Some220Doc]: oh you wanted to steal our hecklers??

To [Some220Doc]: the three we already engaged?

To [Some220Doc]: a simple sorry will do here btw ...

[Some220Doc]: so sorry

To [Some220Doc]: thank you

To [Some220Doc]: btw the way you let the nt nuke from the bridge is an exploit (i will not petition it btw)

So what is the most important lesson we have learned here?

If there are no hecklers around you, then you must be in a kite spot. So MOVE OUT ASAP!

To [**********]: (10:42) Phixels: D********** CM please
[D**********]: i heard you.
To [D**********]: Can I meet you somewhere for that?
To [D**********]: Sir?
[D**********]: not without a time machine to 2006 when i deleted all mochams and composite mochams.
To [D**********]: uhuh, ok have a nice day. Hope there are some in this game you -are- friendly to :)
[D**********]: friendly has nothing to do with it. i dont have the nanos.
To [D**********]: As I said uhuh, well at least you gave me a laugh, thanks :)
[D**********]: if you want a reason, f********** spent an hour trying to convince me that my sole reason for existing was to give him cm.
[D**********]: i proved otherwise by recording the deletion of all relevant buffs in fraps and uploading it.
To [D**********]: And you didnt have the feeling that he got exactly what he wanted? ;)
[D**********]: i dont use cm. none of my alts use cm. none of my friends use cm. it had no lasting effect.
To [D**********]: What if i go out and buy it for you?
[D**********]: the delete button no longer exists.
[D**********]: i dont upload anything non-essential. on any toon.
To [D**********]: Well have fun, I hope you can still have some fun after that episode with that f*********dude
[D**********]: eh?
To [D**********]: I mean if someone can get to you like that that wasnt very stressless i bet
[D**********]: he didnt get to me at all. his position was wrong, i proved it with a few clicks. it then became a non issue. he whinged for about 6 months and quit the game.
[D**********]: although im sure i had nothing to do with the quitting part.
To [D**********]: Im guessing you are right :)
To [D**********]: Well, next time when you feel a bit more outgoing, maybe you'll give me a CM that time. Have fun and see you around! :)
[D**********]: erm, i dont have cm?
[D**********]: you do remember that part, right?
To [D**********]: Yes I did, I dont believe you tough
[D**********]: suit yourself.

2009-07-16T19:00:00.002+02:00

The post of yesterday created a huge reply of fans ingame. I got swamped by tells. In it self that would be awesome ofcourse. However when your fans have names like 'Life-Stopper' and 'Incubus' then you should reconsider your high-profile status.

Luckily i got away before the Incubusses got a hold of me. Long live fixer m33p!

So the other day I was wondering what that one IP was that was coming back to my site -every single day- even though I wasn't posting any new content. Then all of a sudden it came to me in a tell.
