You can come check out the first zone right now, you wont get to see 95% of the features until the beta goes live but at least you can kinda see what we have going on.

I hate to say this cause I know Devn00b will come yell about how the server can't be close to GW's. But the taking over cities and some of that is definately similar with a ton of other variables/stuff to do added in. Don't get the wrong idea, this is nothing like guildwars, the taking over cites and camps aspect of it however is close.

Just for you Paaco

Can this server limit the amount of expansions players can access so as to keep the population in a reasonably small area? if there is too much space accessable then the relatively small player population would be too spread out. I haven't seen any of these emu servers with more than 100 people on at once ever.

we only use antonica atm, all other zones are locked

awesome. I and some friends shall be joining for beta i hope.

What are the PVP rules as far as teams go? i didn't see it when i read the wiki.

[aza77]

well we removed almost all rules there is no level limit and it's all versus all. Instead of rules we use a kind of social punishment system.
- If you kill someone who is guilded you will get a faction hit with the guild
- If you hit someone out of the level range you get a 1 minute Outcast Flag for a kill 100 minutes. Consider someone first before attacking, it will tell you if you are at range or not.
- If you got killed in PvP you are not allowed to enter the zone again the next 10 minutes.
- If you killed someone you will get PvP points for it and Exp. Take a look at the Adventure Merchants of a friendly guild to spend them
- We are also collecting data like your kills, your deaths, your killstreak and the names of your opponents. (Same for PvE btw)

take a look here for a short summary

i hope that's the info you were looking for

- If you hit someone out of the level range you get a 1 minute Outcast Flag for a kill 100 minutes. Consider someone first before attacking, it will tell you if you are at range or not.

One major issue with this is that you are giving clerics and other healers free reign to simply level up just out of the range of a 50 and tag along with level 50 friends healing them, while if they are attacked themselves by another level 50 the attacker will be unjustly punished. This rule should be changed and everyone should be open to be pked without penalty.
