1.Will there be shields in game; you know, 'shields' to protect yourself with an one-hander? Have looked through the gallery and re-searched... but foudn nothing.

2. Will there be swords? (not blades) Two-hander swords?

3. What about archery? How will it work... I've looked through some vids on pvp, and honestly... it looked very basic.

So, how's gonna archery work? If it's aim baised, isn't gonna be hard due to lag and all?

Especially an EU player trying to shoot a NA player; Imagine the ping difference.
