some questions of futer plainshift.

Well i have a few questions answer the ones you please, please answer one.

1. limited experiance???
well, is their going to be a limit on experiance??? i mean it is possible to have unlimited if you start level one of a skill at 100 exp and then everylevel it is 2x the last level (example= lvl 2= y2{y being the experiance needed for the last level}that would be 200, but lvl three would be still y2 which would equal 4) if you do not get this you will when you get into that in math class. if you don\'t get it still after you went through this it means basically double experiance needed for next level.
i know ps won\'t work in levels but i dun know what else to say.

2. combining spells/skills??
well, will it be possible to combine say the azure way and the blue way or the red way and the black way for a special power boost? you know like make you stronger? also combining smithing and tayloring??? stuff like that.

3. death toll?
will their be one?? or will you allow players to carelessly die constantly for fun?? i mean the death realm is nothing, just find your way to a portal. their will be maps all over the internet.

4. secrets?
will there be secrets?? like secret races that are unlockable through poweful quests with high levels of magic, ect. ect. or.

5. uniques???
will there be uniques that will be one of a kind??? like a magicc crossbow that is all powerful over others??? just wondering.....

6. city distance??
will the distance be truely vast? taking rl days to get their or will it take less then 40 minutes to go around the world?

well answer these. i did not see any of them in the guides.....(well other then the distance thing, i was jsut unclear on that) so if you see the part that explains them, quote them here.

Before I begin, I have one request... easy on the question marks... heavens to Talad! ><


1. There\'s not going to be a limit, as far as I know. It will obviously take a short time to become a master in 1 or 2 skills alone... but it will take alot longer to become high level in all of the skills available. That said, there are no restrictions on how many skills you can practice, and how high level you can make all those skills.

2. I havn\'t heard anything official about this, but it doesn\'t sound like a bad idea.

3. Yes. Read the settings. The Death God will ask for a magical item or something of worth. If you give him something nice, he will save you from the Death Realm. If not, you will be taken there. Also note that the Death Realm will be exactly like any other realm in Yliakum- you will be able to live there, as others live in the \'living\' realm.

4. There will be easter eggs like any game, but there will not be unlockable uber-things like in singleplayer games. Everyone has equal opportunities in PlaneShift. Obviously quests will give suitable rewards, but I don\'t call that \"unlockable\".

5. I\'m sure there will. We already have the Ring of the Past, which will not be found anywhere in the game, ever.

6. As development goes on, the world will expand. It takes rather a long time to visit Akkaio... think of how long it would take to reach the Bronze Doors, and then travel down to the bottom levels of the stalactite... I think it will take many hours, perhaps days.

sweet.

i do wish their was more of a toll and my char was not transferred


but anyways,

1. will the char wipe wipe the names as well??
2. real time combat, does this mean like runescape style? diablo style? or zelda style?


also could anyone with  the power to do so fix the name of my post?? i spelled planeshift wrong

I have read somewhere that it is planned to eventually take some XP from a char, probably a percentage to keep the impact from becoming neglegible in higher levels, each time it dies.

All you need do is read Jorrit\'s thread about this. We\'ve said it many times now- the database wipe will take everyone back to where they were at the start of CB. So no, of course it won\'t take your name, not if you reserve it as normal.
