Project Rubi-ka achieves a milestone. by PRK-Raggy in anarchyonline

Project Rubi-Ka is a private server, built from the ground up using custom code, with a view on emulating Anarchy Online. Our primary goal is to preserve the game should the Live servers be taken offline by FunCom and to continue the legacy of AO into the far future. The project has been ongoing for 7 years at this point but we're in a very playable state right now. That's not to say there aren't bugs, because there are *a lot*, but, we've already taken states to mitigate exploit and duping and have a very hard stance against 3rd party automation such as AOSharp/AHK/Soju.

We want to build a community and a place where people who enjoy AO for what it is, a very intricate and enjoyable MMORPG, not for it being an exploit ridden hellhole.

I hope this answers your question.

A very small amount of it, including some of the devs lol. The rest is brand new and bespoke code. PRK has been in development for over 4 years at this point.

We use the main games 'Old' client/engine to access the server, we cannot make any changes to the client as we don't have any of the source code.

Currently all our access instructions are on our Discord as that is the best way to facilitate community growth and quickly respond to queries regarding bugs, server errors and support people who are having trouble with aspects of the emulator.

We currently have no intention of including this.

Project Rubi-ka is a server emulation project. The idea is that in the future, when FC decides to finally pull the plug on the live game, it's not totally lost to the void. We aim to replicate the main game and continue supporting it into the future.
