• • Wondering about character limit - question to Jatar

    The simple answer to your question is that we haven't set the exact amount of alts allowed per account, but it will likely be between 5 and 10.

    As to wanting to play more alts so you can experience different races, there are some interesting twists to the game and story that affect this.... but we aren't talking about that yet.

    Just be advised that you can play alts if that's what you want to do. 

    As for servers, Mike470 had it correct, but what he didn't state was that players can move servers anytime they want, quickly and simply.  I mean, if you think about it, if we are attempting to place you on a server with all your friends or guild members.  This is impossible to achieve with 100% accuracy.  What if most of your friends are on one server, and a few on another.  We would put you with the majority.  But what if you wanted to group up with those few on the other server?  In this case we put you on the wrong server.  You can then simply switch to the other sever in a few seconds and can now group up with those other friends.  (or, they could come to your sever, either way works).  Of course, there is more to this than this simple explanation, but you cam get the general idea from this example.

     

    Everything you said sounds awesome! About what you said with interesting twists, it seems that you guys have alot of those at hand which I think sounds really good (not trying to usher fanboism here, or perhaps I am, hehe.) Like what's been stated on the CoS website that you will be featuring new concepts and approaches. Am I tired of the traditional mundane type of MMORPG's? yes... yes! and YES! We seriously need a breath of fresh air and by the looks of it CoS will be one of the few (if not the only) game that will deliver a major change to the world of MMORPG's.

    I know that it's still a pretty long time until this game see's the light of day but I have been close to giving up on the MMO(RPG) world as of late and so a game that can give me a proper jolt in the right direction is such a welcoming sight. I just have to say that the first time I visited the CoS website I thought (when I saw that it was written on the website that the CoS company thought they could bring a better MMORPG to the world then anything that they've seen already) that you guys were being a bit cocky (what can I say, first type of impression of statements on MMORPG's under development on their own websites, quite a few of those) but now I don't think so at all.

    Thanks for the answers Jatar, it's really appreciated =)

    (And I really hope that you guys will be getting some more screenshots or / and perhaps even a movie out soon, that would be great.)

    Ahh yes, so am I.  I've been following this game since it was put on the site, and I'm a complete fanboi for Citadel of Sorcery.  The developers are quick to answer questions (both here and on the official site) which is really helpful. 

    The developers are really helpful and I have learned a lot of things about CoS by just asking questions.

     

    
     

    Hehe, well I'm joining in on the fanboism then =)

    I know that it might be a bit early to ask this and it might have been asked already but there's no fault in trying to keep the forums here alive imo so how are you limiting characters per server? Like, will it probably be like 5 characters per account per server or less or even like 10? I guess this can't be answered directly yet but an estimate to what you'd like to have in and your general thoughts on the subject would be very much appreciated.

    
     

    Firstly, thanks for keeping these forums alive.

    Anyway, if I understand correctly, you are wondering how many accounts we get per player?  At the moment, we only know that players will have the ability to make alts without paying for another account...it is not sure how many alts per account though
     

    As forf your second question, I remember Jatar spoke about the servers awhile ago.  The servers aren't like any other game...  In some way, you just click your character and click play..once you do this, it then magically puts you into the server that most of your friends/guilds are on.  You are never stuck to one server, and you constantly move about servers to be with your friends, guild etc.  (it does this automatically).  Wether players have the ability to switch servers on their own is something I am not sure of.

    As for the amount of players per servers, I have no idea.

     

    Hi and no I'm not wondering how many accounts we get per player (if in some way by that you mean total amount of character slots on one account then yes that's what I mean.) I only use one account when playing a game, I never multibox if that's what you were thinking. I'm wondering, on one account, how many characters (character slots) can we have / do we get in total. Since this game let's you go through everything on one character I guess one doesn't need more then one but different people have different reasons for wanting more then one character to play on (mind you I'm not an alt crazy person.)

    The main reason for me would be that the game will feature several races so being stuck with one would be a somewhat letdown for me. I am not a roleplayer type of person and neither have I ever really roleplayed before but the reason I have never done so is because to date there haven't been a game that has had such a level of immersion in which I could have done that (from the games I have played that is.) Another reason being that most games I've played has had a pretty lousy playerbase (oh and perhaps because I have never tried playing on a RP server, hehe.)

    This post is getting a little long winded now so I guess I should sum it up. Since the game allows you to gain every skill there is on one character I think that it would be nice if you could be able to have one character slot per race, I think that would be really appropriate. So if CoS has six playable races then you'd have six character slots.

    The different type of server setup they will be using sounds interesting, a change in the world of MMORPG's is something we (the MMORPG playerbase) badly need now (in my opinion.) Of course it doesn't help to stress it, but I'm really hyped about this game and hope it will be a good one and the sooner I get to try it the better =)

  • I recently sent an e-mail asking about some stuff regarding this game on this games website and to my surprise I got a very long answer with some added info which I found to be really nice. Not many game companies do that, that's for sure. So now I've gotten somewhat hyped on Citadel of Sorcery and will be looking forward to when it goes into beta and gets closer to release.
