What is the Bar for?

The Bar is the place where player-to-player transactions happen. Here you can transfer money and/or cargo from one player to another player. To initiate a transfer, click on either the "transfer cash" or "transfer cargo" links adjacent to the player to whom you want to transfer too.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Players transferring credits or cargo from one of their own accounts to another of their accounts (even indirectly through other players) will have all accounts deleted, as per the rules of the game. ALL transfers are logged and checked thoroughly. We will notice.

Note: All transfers are taxed. The current tax rates are as follows:

Credits transferred	Tax
1 to 249,999	15%
250,000 to 499,999	12%
500,000 to 749,999	10%
750,000 to 999,999	8%
1,000,000 to 4,999,999	6%
5,000,000+	5%

Once in the Bar players remain in the Bar as long as they are visiting one of these other pages. If you are classed as being in the Bar, (In) will appear in the menu next to "The Bar" link:

• Cargo
• Personals
• Journal
• Main details page
• Mail/messages
• Missions, Smuggling Missions & My Missions
• Most Wanted
• Message board
• My Warehouses
• Options
• Stock Search
• Top Scores
• Target Tracker

Note: All other pages require the player to leave the Bar and this happens automatically.

Note: You do not need to stay logged in to stay in the bar. As long as the (In) message is displaying when you leave AoA, you will be in the Bar area.
