Several Questions From The Newb

Tomas · 30th August 2008, 01:36

Im new to the forum and i have read most of the articles about the game. Sorry if any of my questions have been answered before.
1.The producers say that during the combat you will be able to choose which part of the body to strike.I was wondering how fast will the choice have to be?
2. Is the game going to be played on 1 server .So something like Runescape where there is only 1 server but lots of worlds. Or WoW style where the is lots of servers and you have to create a new character to play on each one which is annoying for me.
3.I know there will be a monthly fee but will the game itself will have to be bought to right ?
4.When you build a house will it be on the map so when people go by it they will see it. Sort of like UO. Or you will have to go to a certain place like a portal to see it.

And i would like to say this game really does sound exciting.

1) you aim your attacks, so it will be immediate. there are hit boxes, so if you aim to the head, you hit the head, if you aim to the arm, you hit the arm... i hope you aren't thinking this is a click-target-attack type game. all attacks are aimed, it isn't like in WoW where you just lock onto a target and start spamming.

2) from the devs:

3) not sure yet. there may be a downloadable version or maybe both.

4) go to a portal to see it? i don't think i know what you're asking. i doubt houses will appear on a map though, if that's what your wanting to know.

I believe for #4 he is asking if everyone will see your house or just yourself will see your house. And if it will be in a instances or not to see your house from the outside.

And the answer is that it will be like UO houses, so people will be able to see your house. And they can also kill you and take the house key, then the house. And it is not known that if the houses will be in a instance. But most likely they will not. So you can place them almost anywhere on the land.

ahh, i see.. houses will not be instanced.

In short, we are staying as far away from "WoW/AoC-instances" as possible, and will do our utmost to keep it that way. You will always be able to follow any player everywhere as long as there are no natural obstacles (locked door, a cave-in etc).
