Billing and Accounts:
NOTE: Final pricing details have not been released yet.

A: Full details on the Free to Play model will be released soon, but so far free accounts will be capped at level 20 and will not be allowed to trade items.

Q: Do you have to buy the game to play as Free-to-Play?
A: No. At launch, you will be able to download and play the game for free for as long as you like (with the corresponding limits and restrictions associated with F2P accounts).

Q: Can I keep playing as Free to Play after I hit level 20, if I don’t want to Pay to Play?

Q: What is a subscription?
A: A subscription allows you to surpass the level 20 cap limit and restrictions on trading associated with free accounts.

Q: What are the payment options for Pay to Play?
A: Full payment details will be released soon.

Q: Can you use one account to play the same family on all servers?
A: You will not be able to play the same characters on multiple servers.

GETTING STARTED:
Guides:
Q: Exactly how many character slots do you get?
A: You can have a total of 4 Quarters which hold 9 characters each, for a total of 36 character slots.

Q: What are my options if I fill all 36 character slots in my Quarters and then later want to add an additional character or UPC to my family?
A: You will have to delete one of you existing characters to make room.

Q: How does the leveling of alternate characters work in this game?
A: Once you have more than three characters in your Quarters, you can at take an alt out with two of your veteran characters or even bring three alts at once.

Q: How would newer, less experienced family characters be able to join higher level family group setups and gain experience?
A: New characters will be able to group up with your more veteran characters at any time and still gain experience the same way any character would.

Q: How many families can join up to form a squad?
A: You can have a total of 12 families in one squad. That means 12 players with 3 characters each, for a maximum number of 36 characters. Also, squads are semi-permanent groups that last through log-ins. So you can join a squad and stay in that squad until you feel like leaving or are removed by the leader.

Q: Can squads join with another squad?
A: No. However, you can be in a squad, a clan, and a faction all at the same time, for PvP purposes.

Q: How will group loot be distributed? Will the loot be distributed evenly, no matter who picks it up (appearing in your inventory with money distributed evenly also)?
A: In squad play and above, there are several different loot settings you can choose which include master loot, group loot, and round robin, as well as others.

Q: What will be done to prevent theft of loot?
A: When you kill a monster, loot is dropped and it is assigned to you. No one else can pick it up unless you do not retrieve it within a certain period of time (details regarding time frame to come). After that time period, the loot will then be open for anyone (including you) to pick up for about 20-30 seconds before it will despawn from the game world.

Q: What's the battle pace; fast slow, require tactical thought?
A: Fast and tactical.

Q: How many hours of play is it expected to take to reach level 100?
A: This of course will vary depending on how much you play. However, even if you were to hit the level 100 cap faster than expected, you can continue to level up your stances and skills as they are separate from level experience.

Q: What happens when I die?
A: When your character dies, they are knocked out for a certain amount of time; the higher the level, the longer they remain incapacitated.

Q: Is there a death penalty?
A: When a character’s HP’s are reduced to zero, they are knocked out for a certain amount of time, finally awaking with only a portion of their health.

Q: How do I retrieve my body when I die?
A: You don't need to retrieve you body in Sword of the New World. You can either re-spawn in town, wait to auto-revive where you died, or be resurrected by another character. After level 50, you must use a Scout's res skill to revive fallen team members. When you die below level 50, a res bar appears over the fallen family member's body. When this bar fills up, the incapacitated character will be auto-ressed. As you increase in level, the bar takes longer and longer to fill.

Q: What can I do if I die in a bad spot and get stuck in a resurrection death loop (keep getting attacked and killed as soon as I am rezzed)?
A: If you happen to die in a particularly difficult area, you will always have the option to log out of the game, which will exit you to your Quarters, and then you can restart from your save location in town.

Q: Does SotNW have rested experience boosts?
A: No.

Q: How do we move in-game; is it point and click only or can we use the arrow keys?
A: All movement in the game is controlled by the mouse.

Q: Will the UI allow me to click my way through the game, or must I try to lean the hotkeys?
A: You will be able to play using either method.

Q: How do people travel about the world?
A: There are 3 main ways of travel.
First there is the Leonardo Express which is a permanent terminal station that allows you to instantly warp to several popular locations around the world... for a fee of course.
There is also an individual warp system (loosely tied to the Leonardo Express). Basically if you are in a location that you want to be able to come back to, you can 'save' or 'bind' to that location and then use a warp scroll to warp back to that location anytime you choose. You can do this with multiple locations and you can unlock additional warp slots as you progress through the game.
Finally, at anytime when you are not in combat you can exit the game to your Quarters. Once there you will be able to re-enter the world back at your starting location (which you can change by talking to various NPCs around the world).
Q: How much interior is there in SNW? Is it tight space or vast large interiors?
A: There are many interior areas within the game, both tight and vast.

Q: Can you jump in the game?
A: No.

Q: Will there be player bounties in the game?
A: No.

Q: Will players be able to own their own home?
A: There are no plans at this time to include player owned housing.

Q: How many emotes/poses will there be?
A: Currently, there are over 30 poses in the game.

Q: How do you obtain emotes/poses?
A: You will start with a set of base emotes, then through quests and the purchase of style books, you will be able to obtain more.

THE WORLD:
Zones, Mobs and NPCs:
Q: Are there “instanced” areas of the game?
A: Yes.

Q: Are a lot of the mobs contested or is everything dungeon instanced?
A: Most areas are not instanced, although a few dungeon areas and boss fights will be instanced. There are also many instances in the game related to quests.

Q: Exactly how fast are the re-spawn rates of the mobs?
A: The exact times vary depending on the zone, but overall the re-spawn rates tend to be very fast.

Q: Are there any factors that may contribute to the re-spawn rates, such as the amount of players in a given area?
A: Re-spawn rates will remain relatively high at all times.

Q: Will there be more areas added for specific level ranges to gain experience in?
A: We will have access to all updates that IMC Games publishes, and will be working closely with IMC Games and Hanbitsoft for more updates to our game.

Q: Since the game takes place in a world based on Europe’s exploration of the Americas, will there be any Native American type of representation in the game?
A: Because the actual continent of Granado Espada is not related to the Americas in any way – other than the time period – you will not find any references to Native Americans.

Q: Are there mounts?
A: There are no mounts currently in Sword of the New World.

Q: Will pets be part of the game?
A: Only certain UPC’s will be able to control pets.

Items and Equipment:
Q: How many different item slots will there be for equipables?
A: There will be 12 slots, including costume slots.

Q: Do equipable items change your appearance; armor and weapons?
A: There are a number of ways to change your appearance; armor and weapons being the most common. You can also purchase and create costumes that will change your overall appearance but will not bestow any stat bonuses.

Q: How do you obtain equipment for your characters; drops, quests, vendors, crafted, etc?
A: All of the above. You will receive many items from monster drops, but buying items from vendors and crafting items will be very important in equipping your characters. You will also be able to shop in the market for great deals.

Q: Can other players examine my character and see what armor and weapons I have equipped?
A: Currently, there is not a way to view what items a player is wearing, but most of the costumes and armor pieces are very distinct, so it wouldn’t take much to guess.

Dungeons and Raids:
Q: Are raids the same as the City (Faction vs. Faction) battles?
A: There are different types of raids; PvE raid battles and PvP raid battles. City (Faction vs. Faction) battles would be categorized as a PvP raid and would occur outside of city limits.

Q: Does SotNW have any dungeons, like a fortitude city with mobs and bosses, that isn’t instanced and is in the actual game world?
A: Yes, there are a number of quest hubs and dungeons that you will have the opportunity to explore, as you progress through the game. In fact, you may have already seen the first one in the game, in some of our publicity photos. Al Quelt Moreza is a dilapidated church that has long been abandoned and is haunted by the evil spirit of a once great man: Dios Lantem. There is a quest line found in the beginning city, which is directly related to this dungeon. Even after you have completed the initial quest, you can go back with friends and take the boss down for loot!

Quests:
Q: Are the quests grindy (like kill 30 snails or collect 5 maps)?
A: Some quests in Sword of the New World will involve killing a certain number of enemies or collecting a certain number of items.

Q: If quests can only be done once and the reward from the quest is a stance book, what happens when you use that stance book for one character, then make another character and want that stance book for the new character as well?
A: You can always purchase stance books from the Class Masters in each of the major city’s Master Room.

Q: If two people both got the same solo quest, could they party up and do the quest together?
A: Yes.

Q: Are there group quest chains (where you would need a group for a continuous chain of 3+ quests) as opposed to maybe doing a chain that you can complete the first 3 out of 4 quests by yourself then need to get a group for a boss type character and that's the end of the chain?
A: Yes. There will be a variety of quest chains, requiring small groups, large groups, and/or medium sized groups.

Q: When group quests start showing up, what will be the average number of other people you would normally have to team up with in order to complete them?
A: Group quests can vary from lower level content quests, requiring only a couple of players, through high-end raid boss types of quests, which will require many more players to complete.

GAMEPLAY:
MCC:
Q: Is it necessary to MCC in SotNW?
A: You don't have to use MCC, but you'd be at a disadvantage vs. others using the system.

Q: Is there any harm to only playing one character at a time and not using the MCC feature at all?
A: The game is designed with 3 characters in mind. While you are able to go into the world with just one character, you would be hindering your overall family experience growth.

Q: Will it be expensive and hard to outfit three characters?
A: Not necessarily. The amount of loot that drops is considerable, so if you do even a fair amount of questing, it shouldn’t take you too long to build up enough cash reserves.

Q: Does MCC solve the problem that plagues every MMO; a lack of healers?
A: Having a needed class should not be an issue. Since SothNW affords each player the ability to host up to 36 characters in their family quarters, you could easily create your own Scout for use during times when there are no other healers available.

Q: What if I log and find that everyone has non-healing characters anyway?
A: One of the great things about MCC is that you can bring up to three characters with you at a time. If you find there are no healers available, you can head back to your Quarters and grab your own healer.

Stances and Skills:
Q: Can one character change their stance, no matter what their level or experience?
A: This depends; early in the game you will have a limited number of stances, but by level 24 all classes will have obtained another stance and should be able to switch stances freely.

Q: Can a character master the stances as if they were a skill?
A: Stances have a maximum level of 25. After that, you can no longer level the stance or gain skill points from the stance. HOWEVER, there are special items in game that will increase your stance level PAST 25. They will increase your effectiveness with the stance and the skill levels of all skill in that stance.

Q: How do you continue to increase your character stats after you have reached the max character level of 100?
A: After reaching level 100, you must have your character (PC or UPC) promoted to Veteran Status in order to advance their character stats. Veteran Status gives you an additional stat point to apply to your character. Getting Veteran Status will also allow you to use special stances that were not available to you before. Additional statuses, which will further advance your character stats, include Master, Grand Master, and Elite. Each time you upgrade your status, you will be awarded one character stat point. After reaching level 100, you can also continue to level up your stances, and your stats for a particular stance will increase while you are in that stance.

PVP and Factions:
Q: Are there going to be any player run cities?
A: No, but factions can control certain zones.

Q: Will there be PKing in SotNW?
A: Certain zones will allow for PK’ing, otherwise player’s will need to consent to fight each other.

Q: Does the game have open faction based PvP (where players of opposing factions are able to attack each other anytime/anywhere) outside of cities or is such combat limited to special area’s?
A: It is important to note that if you join a faction, you can be attacked by other players from other factions whenever you are in any combat zone. All major cities can be controlled by factions but are designated as non-combat locations, and no forms of combat are allowed within city limits.

Q: How big are City (Faction vs. Faction) battles?
A: This depends on how many players you have in your faction. There will be several chances to participate in large scale combat outside of city limits.

Q: Are raids the same as the City (Faction vs. Faction) battles?
A: There are different types of raids; PvE raid battles and PvP raid battles. City (Faction vs. Faction) battles would be categorized as a PvP raid and would occur outside of city limits.

Crafting:
Q: Can anyone use recipes for crafted items or are they profession specific?
A: There are no ‘professions’ per se. Any recipe or cast that you find, you can create. There are also UPCs who can assist you in your crafting.

Q: Will materials for crafting be fairly common or will they vary?
A: Some of the more difficult crafting items may require materials that are not easily obtained. In general though, items needed for crafting can be found all over the world or bought at the market.

CLASS DISCUSSIONS:
Elementalist:
Q: What is the difference between Ice, Lighting, and Fire for an Elementalist?
A: A lot! Ice slows movement and attack speed, and has strong damage output; but it targets less than fire. Lighting stuns, shocks, has better buffs, and deals massive AoE damage; but there is a chance that the spells may only deal 1 damage. Fire has a large AoE, provides constant damage, and knocks enemies back, canceling their spells; but it has weak damage output.

Q: Is it possible for an Elementalist to be in a Fire stance but use an Ice skill?
A: Yes, if the Elementalist is not wearing any bracelets they will be able to cast any spell from the basic Ice, Fire, and Lightning Stances. Also, later on in the game there is a very powerful stance that encapsulates all three elements and has an exclusive skill.

Fighter:

Musketeer:

Scout:
Q: If you leveled the Scout class in daggers and traps would it be similar to that of a rogue class?
A: Yes.

Q: If a Scout were in battle, in the buff and healing stance, could they change their stances immediately to a different one in order to attack?
A: Yes. This is simply achieved by equipping a dagger. As soon as you do that, there is a ‘cool down’ of about 1 second and then you can begin to use the skill in the dagger stance.

Wizard:
Q: Is a Wizard a sort of buffer or just a different type of magic-based damage dealer than an Elementalist?
A: Both! The Wizard class does feature a large array of powerful buff spells, though depending on the stance being used, they can still dish out some serious damage!

UNIQUE PLAYABLE CHARACTERS:
UPC Discussion:
Q: Will there be special characters available in-game that are worth $20 (like the “exclusive character” referred to in the pre-order?
A: We will be releasing full item sale details shortly.

Q: How do you obtain an UPC?
A: We will be revealing full UPC details in the near future.

Q: What do you do with a UPC?
A: UPC’s are able to be used just like any other family member you create.

Q: What do UPC’s do that is so unique?
A: UPC’s usually have slightly more powerful attributes, stances, and skills than the five base character classes. In some cases, UPC’s will even have stances and skills that no other character can learn.

Q: Can UPCs be traded?
A: Purchased UPC’s cannot be traded; this includes retail pre-order bonus UPCs and item shop UPCs. UPCs obtained through questing can be traded though.

Q: How many UPCs are there?
A: We will be revealing full UPC details in the near future.

Q: Are there rare UPC’s?
A: Yes! Full details on rare UPC’s will be revealed in the near future.

Q: Can you have more than one of the same UPC?
A: No.

Q: Is there a limit to how many UPC’s you can obtain?
A: No, as long as you have the space available in your Quarters.

Q: How many UPC’s can you have in a group at one time?
A: Since UPC’s work the same way as other family members, you can have up to three at one time.

Q: Can you have a UPC as your main character?
A: Yes.

Q: Will we be able to name our UPCs?
A: Every character in your family must be named by you; both PC and UPC.

Q: How viable is it to play without using the UPCs much? Will I lose a ton of power in my team by only using characters I personally make?
A: It is completely viable to play without using UPCs. While most UPC’s have powerful unique stances and skills, a well equipped and skilled party of PCs can be just as effective.

REALMS:
Q: Will there be a Role-Play server?
A: At this time, there are no plans for a dedicated RP server, though it may be a possibility in the future.

Q: Will there be PvP servers?
A: There are no plans for a dedicated PvP server at this time, however all servers will contain PvP.

Q: Will there be a naming convention or any naming restrictions in place?
A: We will be posting the naming rules soon.

DEVELOPMENT:
Game Development:
Q: Which version of GE will you use?

A: Yes.

Q: What is an item mall/cash shop?
