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

 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.

Anarchy Online - how to use GMS as your (inifinite) credit store (PART 2)

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!
