The third edition of the Anarchy Online Primer can be found at Massive Multiplayer.org. This installment of the primer deals with combat and dying in Anarchy Online.There's going to come a point in every warriors life when they say, "Holy Shit, I'm going to die!" Well, fear not, you have some small chance to still survive. The only way that I've found out how to flee is the following. Right click on your main attack icon to stop attacking, do a 180 and hit autorun! (Zero on your Numpad) As you are running, you will continue to get hit, as soon as you get hit you'll see your combat icon go red again as you are pulled back into the fray, immediately right click it again and keep running. I've found it helps if I sing, "And Sir Meatball bravely, ran away, away ... brave, brave Sir Meatball ..." Some critters are persistent and will chase you for quite some time, but hopefully, if you're lucky, you might just get away with enough hit points to find somewhere to hide and heal. Do not wait until you are on the brink of death since you will get swatted once or twice even while you are running.
