When is the Beta/Release?

Beta and release are still undetermined at this time.

Will there be more than one test? Will the people from Beta 1 automatically be in Beta 2 or will they have to sign up for it?

There will be three phases to the beta testing of ADellion, players who are in the early tests will have the option of carrying over from Beta to Beta.

How many are allowed in Beta?

Beta 1 will consist of 1,000 players (or as many as we can support). Beta 2 will allow another 1,000 players to join Adellion. Beta 3 will be an open beta.

What are the races on Adellion?

There is only one race, humans. However currently there are 10 cultures and numerous sub-cultures. The cultures all have various strengths, weaknesses and customs that separate them.

What about the non-player creatures in Adellion?

Adellion will have over 200 animals and as many plants. As the world is a fantasy world there will also be animals and plants native to the world of Adellion.

How are the cultures controlled?

Developers control the non-player cultures and are members of the Lore Team. This may however change once the game has been released as positions can be taken by force, passed on from PC to PC and even entire cultures wiped out or driven to exile.

How are the laws and rules of the various cultures decided?

All matters pertaining to the player interaction with the world are dependent upon the player. If the player is a hermit far away from any city they may do as they please. However if the player is a city dweller then they must follow the rules of the player/players governing that city. Any player with the strength, either militarily or psychologically, can change any rule or law.

How will law enforcement be handled?

Any culture that allows new members to be randomly killed by other players will hamper its own growth and strength. It is up to the individual cultures to enforce laws and protection of its own citizens. Most cultures already have laws and practices in place for this sort of issue. The game mechanics will also help the players with the NPC guard, tracking, shackling and prison features.

How will money and prices be set?

Currency in Adellion varies from culture to culture as some cultures value water over coin. Prices will follow the supply & demand model. Additionally culture and town leaders will be able to block the use of foreign currency in their towns, making trade embargoes a reality.

Is there permanent death?

Yes, however after a new character is created they have a period, 1 week, where they cannot be harmed, harm anyone else or use any of the rogue skills. After this period is over they may be killed or knocked unconscious. If they are killed they experience a 'near death' stage and wake up in the nearest Hands of Mercy hospital currently controlled by their default culture. A player may have 3 of these experiences, the third time they die for good however and must continue playing as their heir. If they have no heir then they must create a new character. Heirs inherit all the physical goods of their previous avatar.

What other pursuits are there except war?
