I know a lot of you have trouble getting through to me by e-mail to the old website address - it blocks about ninety percent of my traffic, conveniently enough. I've posted a new, alternative address on a couple of occasions, though I don't want to put it up in any format that can be spambotted. So if you want to reach me - and why the hell wouldn't you? - you'll need to write to the following address:
(See how I'm being Clever here?)
We now return you to your regular programming.
Hi, I'm emailing you for two reasons...
(1). I currently play Anarchy Online and heard of the animated series... and I was wondering if it was the animated series included on the website or a completely different series all together...
(2). I read the first page of your novel, Prophet Without Honour, and I would like to say that it sounds like a great story, and I really hate reading, and since I couldn't get to the second page on the website, I wanted to know where i could buy it.
If you could send a reply it would be a great help and much appreciated :)
Yes, the 'animated series' is the one that's available on the AO website, spanning Four Exciting Episodes. There is no other. Maybe in a distant utopian future, benevolent robot overlords will commission another one. Until then, this is it.
Prophet Without Honour is no longer in print, and unless you can find a copy on eBay or through some kind soul in the community - there ought to be a lot of copies lying around out there, begging to be re-read - you're screwed. Or you could download the PDFs (check the menu on the right of that page), print them, bind them, and take it from there.
Lastly: just caught a sneak peek of the new Anarchy Online - Alien Invasion video a coupla days ago...and people, you have got to buy this expansion pack. Even if you've never set foot on Rubi-Ka, even if you're allergic to online games, even if your skin breaks out in blisters just thinking about it, you need to get this one. It's epic. It's stunning. It's the cream cheese. It's money, baby. It's the best thing to emerge from the AO universe since, well, since cross-dressing leets. It's been a while since I played the game, but I'm definitely diving back in when this baby goes live - which is less than a week from now, on September 1st. The AO community is bigger and better than ever, and filled with lots of gorgeous, scantily clad women (or, alternatively, men). So go order it now. Because I said so.

The trouble with the Alien Invasion expansion pack is that Funcom released two great ideas (player cities and aliens invading) but they tied them together. Which effectively cut off a whole chunk of AO players from ever experiencing both. In order to participate in these large Alien encounters, you need to be in an organisation that is big enough to afford to build and maintain a player run city - no cheap feat. So apart from the AI backyard where there is a smattering of alien lifeforms dancing around, thats all any casual, non-guilded AO player will ever see. If only the two great ideas where cleaved apart, and Aliens invading become a part of the excellent mission system, or even dynamic camps, all players regardless of level and organisation status, could enjoy the new menace that threatens Rubi-Ka. Organisations could have their city based invasions (which equate to the normal high level raids on other MMORPG's). So, as a loyal AO player (off and on) and a person who has soaked up the AO storyline (including Ragnar's book, a few times - love the epic scope of the writing) since day one, I didn't get much out of the Alien Invasion expansion. Following the Shadowlands expansion it was a big let down. If you're high levelled and in a wealthy and capable organisation then you'll reap the benefits of the AI expansion.
