Q) Are they any skills yet like crafting? I heard there was crafting I\'m not sure if that was just a rumor or not.

Baking is used in the CVS, where a chest does a great job of being an oven. That\'s all I can tell you. However, when CB is ready to be released, I\'m sure there will be some kind of crafting. I can\'t tell you what, though. NDA stuff.

Q) Will there any form of \"Acount wipe\" after a specific time of inactivity?

Hasn\'t really been decided at this point, so currently there won\'t be any deletion of inactive accounts, but when it happens, we\'ll make sure people get informed... If they\'re still around, that is.

Q1) There will be a decent updater? Easy to use with a good interface?

The updater will be easy to use and will use the same style of interface as the game. So yes, and yes.

SOME QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS,

What are the restrictions on killing players? Really I hate if there will be like only special areas where you can not fight exept for the Newb Place.

Restrictions on pick poketing, is this a joke?! Well, I do hope it is, cuz it is plain absurd to not be able to pick poket everywhere, exept the Newb Place.

Also, I have noticed that in the forest path, the trees are just drawn on, how come?

Ps,
Will the Shop NPCs be in the pubic realease of CB?
Will Dead Players Drop items in the  public realease of CB? It is not that hard to code, right?

Not every character will be oriented towards battle. This makes it entirely unfair to someone RPing as a merchant. If you need a game where you run around slaughtering people, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Uhh, maybe because everybody and their dog would be a thief and not work for any items/money lest it be stolen? Some people would like to RP and quest without looking behind their backs to see if someone is trying to pick pocket their latest asset.

*Sigh* .. There is really something you have misunderstood about PS. This game is NOT a PvP game. If you think you can convince anyone that it is a bad idea, go ahead and try but you\'re wasting your time.

What is it with you and \"Newb place = PK\"? Nowhere except the Arena has PvP abilities, unless you chose to accept a duel. Try and understand that.

Also, I have noticed that in the forest path, the trees are just drawn on, how come?

Because the forest path is simply a place that connects hydlaa with other places, thus why it\'s called a forest road. Not a forest-please-explore-me-and-travel-around-in-me.

Ps,

Yes, there are shop NPCs, and no at this point people will not drop items. Now stop asking the same questions over and over.

There can be other PvP zones. And when your and your opponent\'s guilds are in a war, you can fight freely.

A guild war works pretty much the same way as a duel, except it includes more people rather than only one individual. And there -can- be PvP zones, but let\'s get those implemented before telling people where they are.

[tangerine]

But they were already implemented. Arena will be simply a PvP zone too.

Does that mean we can start countdown or are you just trying to be funny, Xordan?

 Now stop asking the same questions over and over.

Since one fool can ask more then 10 wise can answer:

Q) Will there any be AI (in monsters) in the comming release, or do we have to wait.

Q) Same, but then for Armor...



(think we didn\'t heared those two be4).

Q1.What  exactely will be the trias? I ve heard something like octo, sexto, etc. But dont know them for sure.

Q2.In MB the rain starts from nothing... that is a little non-realistic. does in CB the sky will be gray before rainining?
and it is strong when its starts in MB. will in CB the rain start small than growing... And It will be in just some places or in the whole world at the same time?

Q3.Is there going to be horses? if not in CB in some other releases? I never found any MMORPGs with horses... It would be a good Idea. like Ive shown in a thread called \"Horses!!!\"
who wont look for them in the forums Its here:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It would be cool if there were horses!

I never saw any rpg with horses that I remenber that move with the player. I looked many MMORPGs looking for horses but find nothing.

When u buy a horse u could give him or her a name. But u  cant control the horse as another char. (i.g. when u get to a tavern u would let the horse in a stable otherwise the horse could run(that just would happen if u dont treat him well))

There would be relacionship points for horses. If ure relation isn good with ure horse u could do something to let him or her happy.

I think every one would injoy it with the horses idea.
Expecially me!! (Not that I am a fanatic for horses It just would be a good Idea for an RPG)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Q4.Will be the items cheaper? Their price are utrajeous! I look all day and now I just have 112R 5E 1D!!
They didnt need to be very very more cheaper just 40% -  50% or less. That is a question that I have it in my head sims I started(rthat would be 1 week ago)

Q5.How can some one became a GM? I see that some one awnsered before in this thread but I didnt understand... can someone explain it to me?

Q6.How can I be one of the testers at CB Beta? In alpha it was posted a message I heard that the firs 25 people that replied became a tester.Would it be the same for Beta Testers?

Q7. Will be CB lauched before Beta tests?

(sorry for my bad english: I am brazilian and just 12 years old... not kidding!)

Please answer my questions!!!

[Adeli]

I can only answer three of these...
5. Don\'t ask this, it\'s a sure way not to become one, they have to be trusted by the devs.
6. There is no such thing as a CB beta, therefore you can\'t test one, CB is an Alpha test for PlaneShift, It\'s just the name of this test, so the Beta will have another name.
7. The answer to this is yes. Follow Greek alphabet, Alpha then Beta... CB is Alpha... understand?
