~Somewhere in time~

I am not sure if anyone can answer you that question. I guess only the beta testers know for sure.

I'm hoping it's open areas to explore, and not little paths that you are confined to.  For example, in the EQ2 zones, I always felt like I was a hamster in a maze.  My movement felt walled in and confined.  I never felt like I could just run around and explore a vast wide open area.

i hope its wide open too. but i guess there will be a climbing skill for all characters. being able to climb cliffs and buildings? leads me to believe its going to be more open than any other mmo thats ever existed. but u never know till its done.

Soul is not a genre, it is where music flows from.

I'm going to guess that the people who do know for sure are under the NDA so we wont know for sure.  From what I have seen in various videos especially the pvp siege demonstration video, they will be fairly big. Big enough for 9 or so battle keeps in the border kingdoms and it looked pretty big in the demonstration video... Hope that helped.
