@grofire Humans have access to steampunk technology.

@Dordolio Location will matter as Farlander said, as will the goals of the town (warfare, crafting, trading, that kind of stuff), taxes and the overal atmosphere. I imagine it will be similar to choosing which guild to join.

@dagimir Probably an addblocker or you're browsing incognito.

@genobee Lifetime VIP is not a Kickstarter exclusive. It was never marketed as a Kickstarter exclusive.

@Dordolio Towns will have specialization trees of their own, so for example you could make a town in an area with ore resource nodes and specialize in becoming the best blacksmithing town.

@esher Both types exist.

@genobee It was always a crowdfunding exclusive, not a Kickstarter exclusive. There's a big difference there. "Crowdfunding" refers to both the KS and the upcoming store on the website.

@Rizzardi If you have access to alpha 2 test 3, you can join a city. If you don't have access, you won't be able to sign up on the map.

@ruderoo Players can build houses and towns in the open world and wage war over those towns. More on that in the upcoming spotlight.

@tulukaruk The devs aren't sure yet about Angels living permanently on Arboreus. It's still up for discussion.

I am locking the threads that are being necro'd. We're going to release the forum rules soon which will contain more information about the rules regarding necroing.

@mathis No elves, sorry. Only Demons, Humans and Beasts.

@spystranger Fractured is an isometric MMO with click-to-move controls similar to games like Diablo and Path of Exile. First person view wouldn't make sense in a game like Fractured at all.

@aries I don't really see how that would change anything. It's not the size of the post that matters, but the content within that post. If someone only posts "welcome" in an introduction thread, that post is still on-topic. On the other hand, if someone writes a whole wall of text filled with spam, that's off-topic regardless of the the size. Right now there are a few things we're focusing on:

1: Deal with the necros. We are going to release the rules soon and those will make clear what the rules are regarding necros. The current cut-off will be at 1 week for introduction threads, 1 month for discussion threads and no limit on official news threads. (Keep in mind this could change as we're still working on a few details).

2: Stop some multi-accounting power users from making low effort posts on their multiple accounts. There are a few users on this forum who are actively posting on multiple accounts to game the Foundation to the absolute maximum. While technically their posts tend to be on-topic still, I've noticed that these people are so obsessed with the Foundation that they will often try more "creative" and less desirable ways to gain their points. (For example by posting spam and then deleting their own comment, leaving a chain of "this comment has been deleted" spam in their wake). This is already annoying when one person does it, but when that person has 4-5 accounts, it gets really bad. While normally we remove these multi-accounting users from the Foundation in waves, I have decided to alert some of them in advance in order to stop their disruptive behaviour. As a result, you should have noticed a slight decrease in low effort posts during the last few days. I certainly have.

3: Get more updates out! Right now there isn't much to talk about, but that will obviously change as we get closer to alpha. We will most certainly see more discussions then and less "low effort" posts to desperately get the daily done.

@codetsilon Yes, it will depend on your actions. If you do good deeds, your karma goes up. If you commit crimes, your karma goes down. If you're evil, you can redeem yourself by doing good deeds (killing evil players).

@grofire

Beastkin can only choose good on Arboreus. They can pick good and neutral on the other planets.
Humans can only choose good in the Arboreus safe zones. They can also choose neutral and evil elsewhere.
Demons can only choose evil on Tartaros. They can pick evil and neutral on the other planets but they can't enter the Arboreus safe zones unless they're good.

Now obviously a redeemed Demon can choose good and a fallen Beastmen can choose evil. Gothix was mostly right, but Beastmen can't choose neutral on Arboreus even when they're outside of the safe zones.

@holya I urge you to leave those users alone. Even if you've found the ones who have multiple accounts (something you can't know for sure), that still doesn't mean you should harass them. Prometheus and I will deal with them.

@cinnao Demons can increase their karma on Syndesia and Arboreus, but not on Tartaros. They can redeem themselves to become Angels.

@thegreatelleon Skins from the shop, KS, etc are generally bound to your account, so you won't lose them if you die.

@Grofire Just because someone disagrees with you, doesn't mean that person is toxic. Please keep it on-topic.

@holyavengerone I am online every day. The reason why it says I haven't been online for 6 days is probably because my status is set to invisible.
