    1 About the aussie guilds talk to ryvvik he has to old threads about making one.

    2 Also It is supposed to be a "World Server" I believe, where it is as if there is one server but it is really a lot of servers linked up to act as one.
    I am usually Deaths Crowbar.

    Hey guys, thanks death, yeah look health, im aussie and the time-zones for us as a ddo player was a killer for me towards the end. We had a small group of aussies that ran Sphere of Annihilation: on Argo, SOA for short, also had a short time in disposable hero's and windscar, at this point there are 3 members looking to reunite with any collaboration of Aussies, and also have some others, outside the guild looking to get a group of guys together to run, when the game goes live and a few others looking to come over, from other mmo's when the game is launched. While we wont be massive, we look to keep things tight, so that fairness, and good-times are of the up-most importance, we don't want drama, filled rubbish, we are all just playing to zoneout, no pressure on when you can/cant play, just log on and fill your boots, with GP...

    stay in touch

    Ry

    From my FAQ


    Is the game Instanced or Open world? I keep hearing it's one than it's the other!

    That's because it's both!
    From a MMORPG player-submitted Q&A article:
    Q: How much of the game is instanced compared to being an open world?
    Andy Velasquez: Right now, the ratio stands at 50/50, so we have a fairly even split between open world and instanced content.

    The game will be half persistent world and half instanced, with both solo-friendly locations and end-mission multiplayer re-playable delves (more on this later) where you can get your top gear, confirmed by Zeke Sparkes (lead developer of Neverwinter Online) and Pokket (interviewer from MMORPG.com) from their E3 interview.




    Quests and monsters will wander around their zones of the open world where a large number of people can participate with each other, but dungeons, special missions, and end-of-story-arc delves (more on this later) will be instanced for up to (and only) five players as per a typical Fourth Edition Dungeons and Dragons adventuring party.



    Can you tell me how the Game World (or Server) will work then with player population?

    Updated 10/05/2012:     Cryptic uses one game server per game. This means, Cryptic makes a unified "world server" to play on composed of a bunch of physical computer servers to make one "game world." So no other "PvP Servers" or "Role Playing Servers" are done as separate servers to log into. This also means that User Generated Content via the integrated Foundry tool (and more on that is mentioned in the Foundry section) also is accessed by the same NPCs and objects in the "world Server." When a public area zone in the game gets too large, it splits it into another "public instance" or "shard." So you could have "The Moonstone Mask" as a public place, then it splits into "The Moonstone Mask1" and "The Moonstone Mask2" when there are too many people for the capacity on a public location zone.

    Users will have the ability to "switch" between shards (often by a pull down location option if there are multiple areas.)

    This splitting continues if any of the the public area zones continue to grow to capacity again ("The Moonstone Mask3," "The Moonstone Mask4," etc.) and the zones lower in sequential number when the population drops so they can rejoin another (or original) shard (or zone) the next time players leave and re-enter said public zone. So if there are only 4 people in the original zone, and 2 in a second zone, that second zone goes away when the last player in a zone leaves, and the players re-entering that public zone go to the original zone. The game does automatically decide where the least load or most need for new population is needed for the shards, which the above players have the option to manually switch zones (especially for party-based grouping.)



    However, when players join a party to do certain quests, they may instead of adventure in a public area be sent to a private instance which can hold a party of up to five adventurers. This will definitely be done in the "delves" described later in this section. Also see the (previous) "Is the game Instanced or Open world? I keep hearing it's one than it's the other!" question.


    Finally, Cryptic does not "separate" players into their own servers. So there is not a "role playing" server and a "PvP" server and a "min-max" server, etc. We all play in one game world as mentioned above.



    Can you tell me more about Events?

    Updated 10/01/2012:     Events are described in this entry of the Cryptic Developer's Blog.
    Basically, Events are currently classified into two categories: Instanced Events and Contests:
    • Instanced Events--Instanced Events are limited-time offered group missions and appear to work like Delves do (more details on Delved will be in an upcoming question) except you and four others "sign up" for events in the zone it is hosted in, and are transported to the instance. Events could be from defending off a raid to storming an enemy stronghold, with a chance at specialty rewards. Once the event is finished, you are returned to the location you entered the instanced event. These work like "Alerts" in the Champions Online and Star Trek Online games.
    • Contests--Contests appear to be something you can enter when it is starting or any time in its duration. These events appear to be rewarded per "accomplishment" and "rank" the player achieves in the time given. Star Trek Online's Academy Event is an example of such an event in a prior Cryptic game. For a more D&D example, the player might be alerted about an invasion starting in a zone's open-world area and given a thirty minute window from that alert. They may possibly earn a reward for each "token" retrieved from the enemy, and also given achievement for the total number of them killed while invading as long as these things are accomplished/turned in during the alert period. Once the event ends, the rewards can no longer collected, and "collected tokens" may be removed from inventory after a short post-event period to turn them in.
    Rewards for these events will vary from (secondary) game currency to turn in to buy in-store items, to special enemy-only item drops for your class played to temporary buffs or enhancements and the leader-board/bragging rights of your accomplishments in said events.



    Will there be RAIDS in this Neverwinter Online MMO Game?


    Yes and no. Yes, there will be multiplayer escalated challenge "delves" at the end of each "chapter" or "story-arc" segment that drops "the best loot" for the players, but no, it's not like a typical RAID.

    The Delve is a multi-player chalenge for up to five players and is repeatable (so if you didn't get what you wanted, you can try again,) and is finish-able in about an hour's time. Cryptic and Perfect World understand the needs of all gamers when it comes to both skill and time allotted to play a session, and took the hours of setup and prep just to "start" out of this equation, without taking away the skills and challenges needed. Or, as (colorfully) said by ANdy Valasquez in an MMORPG Interview,

    Andy Velasquez: Personally I feel like our Dungeon Delves are huge improvement over the overall raiding experience that I have personally experienced playing MMOs. When I think about what I loved during my time raiding in other MMO?s it was always the joy of getting mah phat lewtz and the challenge of taking down interesting content with my buddies. What I hated was the slog that almost always came with it.
    Our Dungeon Delves are still the places where you will be going to get your phat lewt. They are still where you will find the some of the most interesting bosses, monsters and locations Neverwinter has to offer and you are your friends will be challenged to take down all of the content in them. Yet they are meant to be shorter less grindy affairs than traditional MMO raids



    Yeah yeah yeah, let's get to the important question: How will I get my Party treasure here? Will it be random or rewarded to everybody?



    Both, actually according to this revelation from this MMORPG.com article,

    Here's where we learned something cool about Neverwinter's loot system when partied. She dropped something for everyone, stuff that no one but you can loot, and she also spawned a chest that we all had to roll on. Andy told us that the idea is for everyone to get something from their hard work in a dungeon, but they also want that traditional sense of "Oh, what's in the chest?!?" that has long been a hallmark of both D&D and MMORPGs.

    (Note: These answers will be updated as we receive new information.)

    They have said "not at launch". This does not mean greater than 5 people party won't be allowed in later. Many MMO actually add raid quite later to bring people back to their game, they don't usually do it at launch either.

    Why don't you make a new thread about the guild ryvvik? With new information getting released, I am sure more people from Australia will be coming and it will help them if they go through the directory of guild in sticky and are able to find the guild easily. This and other thread might get buried with newer threads with time.

    p.s. and you will make a great guild leader too :)
