Folks,

Okay folks, time for me to go. Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to talk to me. I'm sorry I need to go now. I'll see if I can drop by again and answer some more of these questions but time is really tight right now.

I hope some of you who haven't backed our KS will at least check out our video, especially if you played and enjoyed Dark Age of Camelot and Warhammer Online. We really need more of players of my older games to help us out over the next 70 hours. If you can help, CSE and I would be grateful.

Thanks again!

Part of the magic behind Dark Age was the fact that it was the first of its breed, an RvR-centric MMORPG. For some people, there will never be a better game because it was their first. If CSE and I can bring back some of that magic and create our own unique feel for the game, I'll be content.

Some of it will come from the more traditional rewards (skills, abilities, etc.) but we also have to do more than just rely on them to keep our players happy. We can draw on some historical methods such as titles, land grants, etc. and I plan on doing just that.

The key for CU progression system is that it is a horizontal, not a vertical progression system. There will be a difference between every experienced players and new players but it cannot be so great that if the experienced player breathes on the new player, the new player dies. Without the safety net of a PvE leveling system, our players will need to get into the fray right from the beginning. Since I've also said that CU will be an open world game with no instancing, we have to ensure this.

If there is enough demand for a Modred-type server, I'd love to put one up. One of the nice differences between 2001 and now is that we can easier spin up new servers with services like Amazon.

As you know, I've always been in multiple rulesets for MMORPGs and even going back to the late 80s and GEnie, have had them in my games. I'd love nothing better to take another shot at creating a Modred-type server.
