| wrt to banks/mail/AH - didn't mean to be confusing before, I said you don't have access to them early on. The first time you can access it all is in Khemi, you cannot get to Khemi until you level to 19 and do the final solo player quest (killing Strom). The "bank" consists of 50 free slots, anything you want to AH or mail is put into the bank first and then processed through. Not sure if you can mail stuff to alts, since I haven't leveled a 2nd char to more than 5. AH is fine, its pretty much exactly like the WoW AH (fields to search by, you just buyout instead of bid). I doubt the AH will see much usage until most players are 80.
One thing people will find ?interesting? is the global channel. Yeah, theres a channel which is viewable by every single player in the game no matter where they are. Makes for some great fun on the FFA PVP server, since you'll see people QQing about ganking and then the gank team responds and it just starts blowing up. Of course with thousands of people online at once I really don't see how a global channel will be practical. There is already a guild on the beta PVP server that has a rep for lowbie ganking (Frenzy) and is pretty much KoS for many players.
Pay the $7 or w/e to fileplanet and get in the beta if you can, your game experience will depend heavily on your PC. |
