Encombrance

[Hyip]

you have to do it in character creation. and being encombured to the max is max weight. You try carrying your max weight and see how far you get.

Ok so then that reverts back to something needs to be done about this. Because come release people just aren't going to go for that type of slowness in game as far as moving about with items.

And also like I said before, this is a "Game" not rl nor a simulation. If it's labeled a simulation then sure by all means make it as real as possible. But otherwise something like this can be a game breaker for many people. It becomes a grind instead of fun, then people resort to macros and bots to get things done and we don't want that to happen.

I can agree on some parts, there are a lot of things to be carried around. In some way I don't mind the encombrance. I just hope they add chariots, wagons and horses/donkeys that can carry containers for you. people are going to use them and that can only be positive for the game.

'scuse me.. but ehm, no not real life and yet it imitates a lot of it, doesn't it . So it might not feel like gaming for you, but damn I'm having more fun playing this than anything else (except EQ - that game still beats everything).
Srsly, there is nothing wrong with encumbrance as it is. Get better running and agility and you'll get much further on less energy and faster.

And this game, as far as I understand it, has no intention of actually going for any other crowd than the mature crowd, which thank God, means it will actually be a game that requires a bit of thinking instead of brain dead activity as you see in WoW.

Think of it when pvp becomes a real reality in-game. Can I actually -afford- to carry this much, through 2 zones with possibly unfriendly tribes, taken that I need to rest that much and can't outrun a scout/guard/patrol..?
