Questions for the week of 12/3 through 12/10

[Shaggy]

Keith, I believe there will not be an actual game mechanic for sieges, it will simply just be people getting attacked. As far as what we need to protect, I'd assume the totem would need to be protected.

[Jadzia]

Will we be able to gain stat points and assign them ? If yes, will there be any restriction about assigning them ?

With all the talk about currency, and no one being able to come up with an economic system that the others can agree with, what are your plans for how you will set up the in-game economy?

What are the current plans with regards to handling skill points for characters as new skills are introduced into the game? Will we be allowed to respec our skill points so that we can become a different role if we get bored of something? Say, I start off by leveling up bladed weapons and sink all my skill points into that, then I get bored with it, could I switch my points over to "archery?"

Related to the last question, are there plans to have seperate skill point pools? Like, you can get so many skill points to be allocated to combat skills, some for crafting, some for harvesting?

Based on a cursory glance at the current way the skill system is set up, it looks like it's very linear. Are there any plans to add sub-skills and sub-sub-skills to current skills? Like, you can level up Axes, then once that gets leveled up to a certain point, you would be able to start to level up "Short Axes" and "Heavy Axes." Then, "short axes" could branch into "Short Axe Balance" among other things (Balance might passively increase swing/recovery speed by a small amount and open up special attacks and/or durational buffs).

there will be a siege system check the FAQ, they just haven't determined how it will work yet.

Will we be able to create preservation area's where resources and land are protected from chopping, forming, and gathering within our lands? It's difficult to maintain order with so many individuals with ideas.

I've heard we'll be allotted Three character slots. Will each character be able to join separate Tribes, or are all character's to be restricted to one tribe?

It's funny you asked this, we were talking about that in our tribe yesterday- we figured it was just a matter of time before someone wanted to do something like this, however it's been mentioned at least the way I understood it is that all lands are up for raids and open war pvp. (with consequences of course based on your alignment)

[Deacon]

Will we be able to actually place bin and stuff in our houses/tents?

And what system for making terraformed area level, if you plan to remove coordinates?

[trenixdecease]

Will there be a "invite a friend" feature which will give us something in return for getting someone to register?

@Foreseer ~ I've heard we'll be allotted Three character slots.
One character per account

I know that you said that we was going to be able to sit, And that you already have a lot of dance moves ready to go. As far as this type of stuff goes, What more will we be able to do? Like different sitting positions, Laying down, Back flips, Drunk walking/running(I think I remember reading we will be able to get drunk), Falling dead, And other things like that.

[Kitsume]

Are there plans to update the character creator, where we can customize faces beyond the template faces we have now? If so, will existing characters be able to use this or will players have to reroll the character?
