1)Is there going to be any kind of a quests in GDW?
2)And i want to know how the battles system in the game will be? is it going to be FPS? or just like in orginal GS?
3)And if like the orginal GS can you have a team?
4)Have you create some new weapons/items/armors/shields/djinns?
5)Can add a special items that will upgrade your weapons and armor power/def and will add them special abilities(just asking...)?
6)And can you put here the world map of GSW?

And know for the end i have a stuipid idea gs_idea.gif ... i thought that the GMs of GSW will have the spirets of the "wish one" lol laugh.gif

1) What do you mean by quest? Like a storyline or adventure mode? If you do mean that, then the answer is no. The focus is on community and interaction, and we feel that at this time it would not be appropriate to be introducing individual player quests at this time.

2) There is no battle system in the game, please read the FAQ on the GSW site.

3,4,5) Read #2

6) The world map of GSW is not final, so I cannot do that at this time, however before launch that will most likely appear on the main site.

1)so can i just know what is your "current plans"? ok?
2)when i said quest i mean that there is a NPC character that need help so you spake with her and then you help her and here is a simple example:
hello can you help me i need to give that item to my friend but i broke my leg so I can`t go and give that item....(then he ask you if you will help him and you need to choose "Yes" or "no") if you answer him yes you need to go and find him and gave that item then come back to the poor man with broken leg and he will pay you for your help, The End. so the is what i mean when i say quest

1. I think the whole point of not telling everyone everything is to keep the "current plans" a secret. I'm not even sure the "current plans" are final so it would be pointless to tell you anyways.
2. I don't know but it would be cool. Kind of like the quest system in SwOM.

That is definitely an option we're looking into at the moment and when going through the technical aspects of the game, it's already possible to do it. We just need to see if it's fun enough to do and especially if it's going to be possible before Beta launch. More on these matters will be featured as newsitems on the GSW website.

okay, i'm not max or aveneR but i think i can clear things out a bit...
the beta (as i've heard) will be MAINLY based on a INTERACTIVE game.
somewhat like "sims online" where you INTERACT with people.
I dunno if max or AveneR will consider doing something like quest or battle but what you SHOULD be expecting is a LOT of interaction... like this...

Julian: wazzup d00d
Gmail: not much
Julian: i totally want invites d00d
Gmail: too bad

yay!
i'm just saying... anything can be possible, but please just expect a Interactive game.
Neon
Think: virtual GS chatroom, with extras! biggrin.gif

The quest idea would be good though, and it would go hand in hand with the fact that they can edit maps on the server whenever they want. So you could, say, have some landslide, and some random guy want you to help move the rocks or something.

I think some of you are expecting too much from GSW. It isn't a massive massive massive online game being made by an entire group of game programing experts dry.gif.

I got some new questions....

1) will there going to be some kind of events at GSW?
2)if there there will be events at GSW what kind of events will it be?
3) if i got it right in the start GSW won`t have battle system but later you will add it battle system right?

Due to certain circumstances, I can't give a clear answer on questions 1 and 2 at the moment, but nothing is impossible.

The "battle" question seems to be a popular one. Let me just tell you that it is really not for sure if it's ever going to be made. We might implement it later on but it's certainly not a certainty.

Take care,

Hmm I have a question.. Is their going to be seperate servers in the game? It might get really crowded in just 1. I think alot of people are gonna be playing it.

It might get crowded indeed and we'll have to wait and see what happens to the game then. We're using one server at the moment but are looking into using a second one and balancing the load.

Take care,
Max
As AveneR said, we are going to start with one and see how it works out. The server we are using is a dedicated server which also hosts some other websites, but it should rarely go down and should have very good connection speeds. However, if the load becomes too great we will look into adding more servers to balance the load better.
mighty isaac
i got new questions........

1)how many towns will there be at GSW?
2those your character spirtes say's her element or your can chose her element?
3)how many player will be able to play at GSW?
Max
1) Only one town at first. A village more accurately, but it will still have many houses/buildings as listed on the Features page on the GSW site.

2) There is no need for elements, because there is no battling.

3) I believe you mean "How many players will be able to play at GSW?" The answer is however many are online. The only limit is how much the server can handle, and I doubt we would get enough people to really stress the server much at all (would take >200 to start making it sweat).
odyssey_ml
as I must ay I'm really uhm hit by the idea about quests like short ones to earn extra ka-ching I would like it and many more would....

About versions

Let's say when you launch its ognna be version 1..... Will you update?
like? version 1.1 or Version 1.5 andl ater Version 2 which is better and I still wannak now with what you're doing it what programming language?
Mallick
I am not Max or AveneR so sorry if I am wrong:
1.They said they were thinking about putting in side quests kinda things
2.I think they just gonna update with the same version (I am just pretty much guessing there sorry)
3.I am possitive it will be english but it could be another language


sorry I guess I am just trying to help you kinda get the Idea before Max and AveneR sleep.gif don't read this if you don't want
Elliott
Why would you post if you wern't really sure, should have left it up to AveneR and Max.
Max
We are going to use an incremental version number system like almost every software project uses. The first betas will start at pre-1.0 (something like 0.6) and then when we feel we have reached a solid version it will be version 1.0. After that we will start considering adding new features and expanding upon things.
odyssey_ml
Ah, yes perfection! Now only for it to go and come....
Mallick
well I'm sorry Agatio I just wanted to get a bit of an idea in his head instead of the question left for two days!

well, sometimes these things are common logic, Agatio, some of the questions are pretty obvious, sometimes when i answer, i even guess happy.gif and sometimes i even get them right! and max goes... "what Julian said" heh XD
Lord Master Ivan
I don't know if this question is asked but, are you going to play as your name here in the forums? It's no big question, I'm just curious... Or do you make up a new name...?
Someone Else
You need to start a different account at the GSW site to play, so you can choose a different name if you want, but I plan on keeping my name Wind Dude so everybody from GSS'll say, "Hey, it's good 'ol Wind Dude! Hi Wind Dude!" and such. happy.gif

You just have to register a username and password, and maybe an e-mailaddress and gender, that's about all. Trust me, registration of the GSW is only going to take between 10 and 20 seconds.

Take care,
Valistrix
can we use our forum usernames?
AveneR
QUOTE(Link @ Aug 26 2004, 02:31 PM)

Yeah, you can if you want to, that's not a problem at all. There is going to be a character limit though which is likely to be set somewhere around 8 to 10 characters, so if your forum name is longer than that, you'll have to think of something else or use an abbreviation of some sort.

Take care,
Valistrix
So whe we get to GSW login screen for first time we can I can enter Link and my pass?

Yes, that's about right, although you have to log-in with your username and password each time you want to play ofcourse. Before you're able to run around in the GSW, you have to register your username via the GSW website. The registration page will be on-line when the game is released.

Take care,
