and is there really a program that send MB account to CB account ? Because I\'ve see it and post my my nickname and password and even if it was on the sourceforge server I hope I dont do a dumb thing...


you must choice a first and last name, QueenOfAvalon is not a name but a distinction. You can choice something like John Fken if you want but not Lord Fken, because Lord Fken is not a name but a distinction

No.


Q : In fact what kind of character are allowed ?
Are accents ( ^ `?\" ^ like ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? and so one) allowed ? Because some names need these accents and a lot of american programs forget them...


And I still need to know if the program that helps people to send MB characters to CB is a a real official one.

No.  Firstly because just that, plenty of keyboards don\'t support them.
Secondly because you end up with persons who use all special characters in their names.
The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

It will be on the website once CB is out. If you see something asking for your username and password, it is probably a scam (besides the merchant page).

Hmm .. I can\'t resist :D, and if I don\'t ask someone else probably will anyway, so:


Q: Will we be able to crouch?
A: ?
The internet is "the terrorists'" most important weapon, they say.
Wrong.
Fear is their most important weapon.
Ours is our freedom.

Q: Will there be a nickname ingame at all?
A: Not planned at the moment, no. Feel free to give your character a nickname though. It just wont show anywhere, and it\'s up to you to tell people who you are, as in \"Just call me Blinkyblop\", and so on. - Gronomist

Q: Will there be a underwater map to explore in CB?
A: In CB? No. In the future? Yes. When? Guess. - Gronomist

WHA?! Doesn\'t stuff I implement count? Maybe you should check facts before posting em.. just a \"friendly\" advice :P

It\'s right under Menu -> Skills -> Character Description


I never wrote that... Quit lying :P

Q: Will the quests completed/monsters fought by the alpha testers count towards anything when us mere mortals gain accesss to CB? The news page says MB database won\'t be affected, what about the CB database?

(granted, it\'s more than one question, more fun to answer I guess. Grono, I like that answer: \'Soon\')

I like Red Jelly Beans!

@Adeli : yeah I like too

Q: how big is this game ? in Megabytes (I don\'t want any estimation from anybody who don\'t know... I\'m thinking about another post...)
Q: how big are the maps ? is there a way to be bored by the game in 2 or 3 monthes?

Answer to Adeli: Everything the testers do will be reset before the public release. We won\'t be keeping our characters, items, etc. Everything will be fair. :)


fken: Precise answers cannot be given at this time (NDA). But I can say:

A 1. Definitely larger than MB version.
A 2. BIG. :)
