Rating
When you begin the game, you have a rating of 750. When you win battles, your rating increases, and when you lose battles, your rating decreases. A rating calculator can be found here

Units and Unit Drops
You start the game with 3 Knights, 1 Scout, 1 Assassin, 1 Cleric, 2 Pyromancers, 1 Enchantress, 1 Dark Magic Witch, 1 Lightning Ward, and 1 Barrier Ward.

One way to obtain more units is through unit drops. These take place at random times, and there 5 every 24 hours. If a drop occurs while you are fighting, the winner of the battle will recieve an extra unit. Only certain units can be obtained through unit drops.

Your formation may consist of no more than 10 units, or 9 if you are using a Dragon Tyrant. Experienced players sometimes play with less than 10 units, as a challenge.

Grey Accounts
Grey Accounts is the level that all players start at. Grey accounts have a number of disadvantages, such as a limit to how long they can stay in the lobby, which were put in place to tempt people into paying for Gold Accounts.

The Flash Servers delete all grey accounts each month, in what is known as a server wipe. The Legends Server does not do this, but instead deletes all grey accounts which haven't played in over 30 days.

Gold Accounts
Getting a gold account is quite useful, as you can get access to new units such as:

An extra Scout, Poison Wisp, Golem Ambusher, Furgon, Dragon Speaker Mage, Beast Rider, Dragon Tyrant, Stone Golem, Mud Golem, and Frost Golem.

Also you get access to such features as: Full access to the TAO support ticket system Spam filter to block unwanted chat coming from free accounts. Unrestricted chat functions, no more 8 second pause between sentences Unlimited game access, no disconnected after battles, very useful when servers are busy, return right back into the lobby after your game. Account stats wins/losses/draws/unit drops are recorded and not reset monthly. Automatically receive new units and game upgrades Unique lettering assigned to your name in-game, letting other players know you are a supporting member of the community. Upgraded status in the community forums, including your own title and custom avatar. As well as a private forum to chat with other Gold Account holders. Create and lead your own clan, recruit other players, war other factions. Chat with your clan mates in your own private clan chat. Additional account on the exclusive Gold Account only server, Revelations. You can challenge and meet Gold Account holders from all TAO servers in this elite server.

Lobby
The Lobby is where you enter the game after logging in. In the lobby, you can chat, invite people into your clan, change your formation, and challenge other players to start a battle.

Clans
Clans have no real purpous but they are fun.

Legend Server
No longer exists. Which is pretty annoying, as Seed required that those Gold members paid a solid $15 compared to the Gold members (on the commercial servers) $5 a month. The game play between the two was pretty different, due to the two scouts the commercial servers received compared to the one the Legend server received.
