MRPG Servers and Accounts

If possible, the game will have a single server, however this relies on enough content being available at launch to support the entire player-base.

Accounts

Free-to-play accounts will be limited to a single character slot and 5 available classes. Additional character slots and classes will be available at the in-game store.

Taking a note from DDO, there will be free, premium, and "V.I.P." accounts, though the structuring will be done differently and the paid accounts will not actually be caelld VIP. But, like DDO, as soon as you spend any amount of money on the game your "free" account becomes premium.

Petitioning System

An organized system will be put in place for players making one request or another("I want this feature added" "I want this feature removed") Each petition request will be reviewed by the developers(or, more accurately, by some flunky sho's job is to toss out the obviously stupid ones) and assigned a required number of signatures and a due-date before being released onto the message boards.

Only players with active premium and paid accounts will be allowed to vote, and then only once per account. If a petition receives the required number of votes, it is taken under serious consideration.

Release Plans

Initially, the game will be sold in retail stores to raise awareness and to recoup the cost of development. The retail version will include various perks, game-store currency, and items only available to players who bought in stores. Also following release, the starting area, main city, and it's quest-lines will be available free.

Ideas for perks:

• Evolving Etherial mount that levels with the player and eventually becomes a flying mount.
• Their choice of one of four upgradeable weapons
• Additional bank/inventory space
• A hefty sum of in-game currency to start out
• Points to spend at the in-game store

Six months after release, f2p players will be able to purchase an item in the game store that gives them access to the rest of the map. This is to encourage players to continue to buy the retail version.

A year or so later the rest of the world(but not all quests/adventure packs) will become unlock-able through a quest chain to f2p players.
