as follows, and place it in your shortcut bar.

Self-termination

If you experience a bug that doesn't allow you to proceed or escape
from a zone, then you can kill your character by typing the following: 

terminate 

GM petition
-----------
If you require GM assistance, you can petition for help as follows:

A standard petition command might look like the following: 

petition Help me, I'm stuck in Omni-1, and my character's left arm has 
disappeared! I don't know where I dropped it, or that I could drop it.

Take screenshots
----------------
To take a screenshot, press F12. They're saved to the Screenshots folder 
located in the Funcom/Anarchy Online directory. 

Create macros
-------------
To create a macro for a commonly used command like /pet attack, 
type the following: 

macro pa /pet attack
---------------------
This will create a small, selectable icon that can be put into 
your shortcut bar for easy use of the pet attack command. 

Completing "live-with" missions
-------------------------------
To complete this type of mission, once you've found the objective 
NPC, simply target him or her, and stay within the vicinity for a 
short period of time. 
Registering the mission as complete can take as little as 10 
seconds, and has on some occasions taken us up to 4 minutes. 

Creating implants
-----------------
Select the nanocluster you want to insert into the implant by 
left clicking it, then hold it over the implant and shift-right 
click to combine the two. 
You can then go to a surgery clinic to install the implant, if 
you meet the requirements. 
Nano-programming skill is required for creating implants. 

Team looting
------------
As team leader, you can select how loot is divvied up by the team. The most 
common choice is alpha, where the spoils can be picked up by characters in 
alphanumeric order. To enable this, type: 

team loot alpha 
  
Other choices include "/team loot leader" and "/team loot FFA" 

New player advice
-----------------
New players can take advantage of the newbie chat channel, 
where GMs and players of up to level 6 can chat about game 
mechanics and starting strategies. 
To un-squelch the newbie chat channel, click on the friends 
icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen, and uncheck 
the box next to the channel listing. You can also reach the 
shopping channel this way.

Killing untargetable NPCs:
--------------------------
The game may glitch in some live-with missions, where the objective NPC 
will become stuck behind a wall, and thus cannot be targeted. He may 
appear briefly, but you will not be able to maintain a lock on him. 
Walk towards the wall and enter the /kneel action to see through the wall.
You can then click and target the NPC to complete your mission objective.
