An integrity check on the model files to make sure they have not been modified would counter that.  But nothing would stop a 3rd party program running on your computer that could do the same thing.

Well rather than comoflage.  Why not skills that allow you to move quickly while crawling.  Maybe also they can make it so you can move silently.  They can probably offer  Ghillie suit.  For some reason I don't think any of these features/skills will be available.  I hope they have binoculars/scope or an ability that allows you to recon an area without being in the area.

They could offer somthing along the lines of a radar. You sence some1 is there,but only if he moves. But the lower the lvl of the skill then the better chance of not detecting sum1 with it.

I, of course, got this idea from Halo 3:)

Well we can only HOPE that all hackers computers will explode in a great fireball...and that no store will sale them a new one. 

Hmm...did I mention I hate hackers?  But I'm not bitter...lol.

I thinki i like that idea much better actually.  OR like a spider sense where your radar shakes or something because the person is not moving but you know they are close.

eh cuz then most  people will spaz and go crazy.

I plan on trying a Mahirim pack hunter (I hate loners) following The Long Claw. I won't gather or craft only scavenge for my gear (from PvP mainly, but some PvE). I'll try and not use metal, but want to be melee with some range, and never magic (magic weapons/armor glow, but I don't want to be too gimped)!

I will be better at open group combat than an assassin, but stealther, faster, and more versatile on traveling (swimming, climbing, ect...) than light infantry. Spending a lot of time without visiting friendly cities (binding in wilderness but forgot what those bind points are called).  Only going to friendly cities to learn new skills.

Perfect characters? You mean perfect players!

And yes, there will be perfect people for a specific task. If you want to be the best at som ething, you will suck at something else. Example, you become the best rider, expert on the horseback....you can ride down lots of people in the open terrain. And all that time you have spent learning that have made your ability to fight in formations on ground falling a lot after everyone else.

Funny how everybody try force themselfs intoa class while devs have worked on a systems with skills to get rid of class and give you oportunity to make a character thats abel to train many kinds of different skills so you can be mage/melee/range/healer:)

Everyone tends to become a tank mage in skill based systems like this one..

UO the most succesful people were the ones that were able to take damage, cast powerful spells and heal..hence tank mage..
