*Wonders what CB will be like*...
« on: February 19, 2004, 01:27:01 pm »
I don\'t know if this has been decided yet and I\'m sure it will eventually be in some faq, but I just have to ask:

In CB, what will happen if we get killed during a fight?  Will the character be gone forever or just lose stats?  If it is by another player, can my char be plundered and lose all his items/money?  Will there be a storage feature or bank so we can store unused or more precious items?

Exactly. And your screen will explode to be sure you won\'t create another char. :P

Seriously, devs don\'t want to release info about what will be implemented in CB. Probably a nice system we can hope :P

I figured as much since I haven\'t seen any other kind of details.  But I just couldn\'t resist anymore.   :P   Had to give it a shot.

I\'m fairly sure there won\'t be a perma kill system, and death is already decided, so we\'ll wait and see. :D

From the FAQ on the main site:

\"I died and lost all my stuff, can I have it back?

 

After dying your char will travel in the Death Realm, and if you can get out of there you will have your items and money back.\"

Ah-HA!  Classic newbie mistake ... read the FAQ!  I think I read through that quickly before I started but at that time I didn\'t really have an appreciation for any of it.  Its in a new light now that I have actually been playing for a few weeks.

Another FAQ actually answers one of my other questions as well

May I buy a house or castle in PlaneShift?
 If you char has a good amount of (in-game) money it can buy a house, a shop or even a castle. This feature will be added in future releases. You will be able to lock your house and store your items there.


The FAQ seems to have been written awhile ago, when the game was still \"in theory\".  We\'ll have to see how close the devs stick to the original ideas.

And yaaay, this is my 10th post so I am now a \"cool newbie\". :D

edit: apparently not, I have had a post or two deleted

The idea of a bank has been discussed and I believe they will implement it into a future release...

Essentially, after you die you are teleported to the \'Death Realm.\' I don\'t know too much about it, because they\'re trying to keep it quite, but if you manage to find your way out you get to keep all of your items...
