Well, I finally made it into the beta and am in the process of the SLOW download of the game at about 50kbs :( .
So, while it does download, I had some questions:
1. Gameplay: Does all of this take place in a single persistent map on each server? That is to say, does each player get given a bit of land in a persistent world, then spread from there, building settlements, bumping into other players, making alliances, fighting wars and border skirmishes? Or, do you only go online with your empire when you choose to enage in PvP? I was of the understanding it would be the latter style of play.
2. Races: Are dragons still in there? I had been lead to believe that dragons were one of the playable races, but, reading some of the more recent literature, it seems that it is just Humans, Elves and Orcs.
3. Retail Model: Is this going to be a free to play game with micros transactions or a 'Golden Membership' option, or will it be the standard retail pay per month model?
4. What are the options for future expanssions, races etc? New lands? How moddable is the game really? Can we model our own lands and share them with everyone else?
Thats pretty much it for a moment. And again...HAI!!! :cool:
