Don't know if this has been addressed or not. When you sign up and select a server to play on can you server hop or is your account staionary to that server? As far as the continents go, will there be one continent per server or will a map of each one be on each server so you can go help out where your needed or to just go exploring. Will you be able to explore the continents offline or will you just have to stumble your way through them online? This is a key thing for me cause I, like some other players, like to stragitise and plans don't always go the way we want so it would be a nice thing to scout out the land masses. And on a final note will there be a third person view or is is locked to first person?
Any positive input will be greatly appreciated. So flamers need not apply. |

We don't know if you can carry you character's assets between servers, but yes I believe you can pick the server you want. Also I believe each server cluster will have an entire world on it, not just certain continents. There is no offline mode to explore the world, we'll all be stumbling around online together.

Well if I had to guess I would say we can assume they will be following the same model as all of the MMOG's currently out there where each character you create is unique to that server. IF you choose to play on another server, you'll have to start another character.

So you have a server farm that has one map per server most likely and you fight just on that server ( server farm ). So you don't fight round the world, just with the people on that server? That kind of stinks that it won't be in heavy usage all the time so there will be a lot of land taken when most people are off. But, then again it does sound good to play with people in your own time zone or at least one near you. That will be good that the whole world will be on a server ( serve farm ) so you can go where you want or are needed. Did I get all that right?

Yes the servers are a HUGE part of the devlopment, not like you can run over to Staples and pick up a Planetside server. They had to make everything, its a large farm of servers each one doing a certain task.
East is seperate from west, they are not linked as far as I know. I doubt the server will be empty at night.. people play 24/7 lol |

As I recall, you can join different empires on different servers. Given that, I doubt characters will carry over.
On the other hand, it'll let you try out a different empire's weapons, see what their strengths and weaknesses are, and so on (so you can prey on them later). |
