Misc Questions

Note: These questions have been sorted, but I couldn't find a better spot for them without having a section for each one.

1) If I were to play music, would it help rest and heal me, or MUST it be from someone else?

Shailejron answers:

Your music effects yourself as well.

2) What is the expected average number of characters in a group?

Shailejron answers:

That is hard to say, but a well balanced group will have a good mix of at least 4-5 different classes. It all depends on what the group aims to accomplish.

3) Why is player-killing not in the original release?

Shailejron answers:

We have set player-killing aside to focus on other non-combat oriented aspects of the game. after all there are plenty of great PK games out there, and not that many that are bold enough to state that combat does not have to be the principal activity to develop your character.

The day we introduce player-killing it will be done in a very calm and sensible manner, and with the sober ideas of a very experienced player community.

4) Can any language be learned by any race? I've heard orcs dislike elves and everything elven and vice versa so can an elf learn orcish and orc elven? And can anyone else learn Nanjarii?

Shailejron answers:

Any race can learn any language providing they can find someone to teach them. Some races will have an easier time learning languages closely related to their mother tongue. Characters will not be able to learn nanjariil. It is far beyond their conception.

5) Are there underground areas?

Shailejron answers:

There will be underground areas, such as caves and ocean floor

6) In the race pages the Tobacco fields of the Halflings are mentioned. Will such weeds exist in the game, and will they affect the character?

Shailejron answers:

You will be able to plant and harvest tobacco plants, but I'm not sure what effect they would/should have upon your character. Any ideas?

7) Is it at all possible that in the city you will be vulnerable to attacks by wild animals searching for food?

Shailejron answers:

That is highly unlikely!

8) will natural disasters happen as the season changes?

Shailejron answers:

That would be a lot of work to implement, but very cool. Perhaps something for the future.

9) how will disease function in the game?

Shailejron answers:

There will be a time of incubation, and of course chance of spreading when it sets in. Some characters can be "carriers" without knowing it, as well as immune to a disease.
