Loot: A mix of random drops, Boss mobs of varying difficulties and Quested gear. Raid looted gear will of course be better, However we do not want to lock of raids to anyone. No matter what your level, Skill or # of buddies.. There should be something you can kill to improve your gear.
One of our main goals is to provide variety. Not every Raid-equiped end game warrior for example, Should be in the exact same gear. Some might prefer higher damage weapons and STR gear, Some might prefer AC and HP gear.
This will be the same across all classes.
Zones: Assuming you mean locking down zones to keep players in certain areas to encourage PvP.. Yes and no.
We want to keep it as open as possible, essentially. However we will lock players out of zones that are too buggy or too un-predictable for 'safe' PvP-ing. (What's the point in trying to kill someone in a zone where Doors don't open or zonelines are in odd places!?)
One of the biggest problems to overcome is ofcourse playerbase. To sort this, Any high-end raid zone will be non-PvP, Good and Evil players will be encouraged to raid together, group together etc.
Essentially, Total Life will be
mainly PvE, Lot's of content, Lot's of groups, Gear, Quests..etc. PvP won't be optional by default, However it won't be the main focus of the server.
If you want to PvP, The majority of zones will allow it and it will bring little benefits here and there. If you don't want to PvP, We might even provide a quest line you can complete to 'opt out'.
We understand that PvP isn't for everyone, We understand that it can get annoying, Especially when you are trying to accomplish something. However it is also alot of fun and adds a lot to the experience.
Basically, It will be there, It will be possible, It will happen in zones with good gear dropping or zones with quest hand ins.. However it won't interfere with you progressing, You won't be forced into PvP-dangerous zones to improve your equipment and in order to allow players to participate equally at the end game, The raid content will be PvP limited so that opposing factions can get together and have fun.
