There ARE eye color in character's properties, but for now there are NO option to freely change it in the editor. AFAIK, different eye colors are predefined into character presets, so you can see screenshots with several colors.

Ahhhh ok thanks for clearing that up. To me it would seem like a simple thing to do so why hold it back? Im sure a lot of players want to try this option out. Then again im not a dev. and its probably something they're having problems with maybe. -shrugs-

I sure hope they have the option of choosing a different color for each eye. They probably won't though.

The instance/channel system is good, reduces the lag and frustration at the beginning.

Exactly. It would be useful elsewhere though, I;m sure. So I hope this isn't the only place they decide to use this once the game gets going for a while. Situations like that will most likely open up depending on what's going on around there (quests, popular mobs, etc), but we'll have to see in beta/release.

The instance/channel thing is the same thing they have on GW. Like US1 US2 US3 etc. Its just a drop down box that you can select where to go - you teleport to the same exact location but in a different instance of the world. Can only be done in towns i think though.

Damn, being able to decrease graphics settings at the touch of a button needs to be in there.

Overall some great news. I'm sure we'll get many more awesome updates too

Q> There are rumors what newbie regions (as Poeta for Elyos) are made as instanced zones (with a limited maximum number of players for each instance) to spread a large number of newbie players between several copies of the region. Is it true? Will high-level (>10) players be able to teleport to Poeta and meet their newbie friends in such "multi instanced" areas?

A> instanced zone.. we call it channel. and u can go to the right channel that u wanna go.. everybody (newbie or not) can alter their channel.


So it will be like combined servers right? where u can log into another if one has too much traffic? I like the idea but then again I like to represent servers where I come from =)




Q> Will swimming be added to OBT?
A>No.

Damn, I was hoping some swim suits and a beach ball.





Q> Will players of the same faction be able to confront each other? In many situations where are possible conflicts and concurrency between players (and even legions) inside a single RvR faction. For example, raid boss, exp spot conflicts, etc. Usually such conflicts could not be solved using a duel. Are any solution expected for this?
A>I don't think that we can make such a great solution ..


what? no way. Takes the fun outta drama.

Thanks for posting! This stuff is really interesting. Big battles seem fun Like all the previous posters I am disappointed in no swimming, but maybe they will work that in eventually. The eye color info also surprises me.

@ Vampire

The channel part isn't exactly like that, but it is for the beginner areas of the game, just so there isn't too much competition.

[Yakuzan]

I never really used swimming and I found underwater quests to be a pain but with the graphics and design of Aion I'd love to jump in and have a look, I'm sure underwater scenario's for Aion would look splendid.

[lyankyj]

I don't even need underwater, swimming only on the surface would be fine aswell. In its current state it is ridiculous, so there's definitely a need for smg to change that.

[twostep]

the pvp rvr questions were the ones i liked the best, and the reason i don't think this game will be as good as it would be without RvR... AP farming will be rampant. i can guarantee that.
