It is important to know, That we are running Kydor Beta 1.
It is the module running the bare-minimum required to support a playerbase. The purpose of hosting the mod under beta 1, is to, no suprise, test the module.
And use the testing phase, to steadily build up the finalised module.
Your characters during the Beta1 phase, will be transfered to the finilised module along with their history. But, back at starting level with starting gold.
(they might get bonus for helping to test it is as-yet, undecided)
when we finnaly do launch the finalised module, the Main campaign will get udnerway, and the pain of a character wipe will be hopefully softned by a crapload of new, and revised content, to a high standard. (unlike the rushed to be done content of Beta1).
There will be a mini-campaign running during the Beta phase, and a number of small stand-alone events.
all to help get people settled in to Kydor.
This is of course the first time we will be hosting kydor to the public, our XP system untried on a large scale, our items and loot system untried, Creatures untried, our death system etc etc and so on.
'Everything' is untested to a large playerbase. and after say 4 weeks, the advancement and dificulty might not be how we planned. Many things can go wrong.
characters might out-level our entire mod in a month. etc. After fixing such problems, the only logical coruse is a character wipe. So that you can advance as originally planned. So be prepared for it because it will almost definately happen.
(unless everything goes 100% fine which i doubt Extremely much).
Feel free to ask any questions reguarding the Beta1 Phase.
