Re: PreRelease FAQ

Some extra FAQ not included above:
  • I was in closed beta, how do I put in my pre-release access key?
  • The keys that you received from the retailer that you purchased the product from are pre-order keys which also enabled beta access. If you have not registered these keys you can do so at https://secure.station.sony.com/vang...key_consume.vm
  • How many characters can I have?
  • 8 per account

More info on PvP?
Details on each ruleset

Free for all server:
Minimum level 7
20% soft level difference (explained below)
15% coin loot
PvE item durability is disabled on ability activation and PvP death causes a chance for each equipped item to take a large hit
Releasing your spirit after a PvP death takes you to your bind point. You will not drop a corpse.

Team server:

Minimum level 7
20% soft level difference
15% coin loot
Durability is no different than a PvE server
Releasing your spirit drops a corpse (with no experience loss) and transports you to the nearest altar
Defensive targeting and grouping is restricted

The Teams

Shadows of Kaerellun

* Dark Elf
* Kurashasa
* Varanthari
* Orc
* Goblin
* Vulmane
* Varanjar
* Lesser Giant


Order of Alurad

* Wood Elf
* Raki
* Dwarf
* Halfling
* High Elf
* Half Elf
* Qaliathari
* Mordebi
* Gnome
* Kojani
* Thestran Human


Details as quoted from Elrar -
Quote:
We have support for additional teams, but we feel this is the best initial setup that supports the content and has people able to find opponents from a fairly low level.

The soft level difference means, while your ability to attack someone above the minimum level is unrestricted, if you are more than 20% of their level higher than them, they suffer no penalty and you gain no reward.

The percentages are easily adjustable and we will be enabling coin banking for PvP servers.

  • Will my beta characters be transfered to a live server?
  • When the test server launches post release, it will be brought up initially with characters from the beta 1 server as a thank you for our long time testers, and we will add qualifying characters from the newer beta servers over time as we monitor the population and needs of the test server. Only characters created on or before January 18th will transfer to the test server and only characters that were accessed from December 15th to present will be copied.
