Just a thought about the start of Ob

Names were kept for players in CB1 who had any character over level 20 in their account. Nearing the end of CB1 many rumours were spread about the wipe of character statistics (where everyone's character would get nerfed to level 1). People believed this, while also believing that they would keep their chosen names. What they didn't realise was that neither of the two can happen at once. You either lose your character or keep your name. If the server is wiped, there isn't any way for names to be kept without keeping the characters themselves.

True i never really thought it that way.

Simply put events will be bad 2. But considering the majority of people have school......... well if the release at a bad time i think it will all work out well : D

if slimes do become overcrowded maybe the gms will spawn more so people can keep moving? there's always a chance

Character reset to level 1, no experience? Surely that's possible...

5.) "Will I get to keep my character after Closed beta ends?"

answer: painfully simple...NO. It is common practice for ALL characters to be deleted before a game enters Open beta phases. Fiesta is being very genorous and allowing people that reach 20th level to keep their characters name for later stages. But this is the name ONLY! not the character itself.

From the official forums.

I'm going to play it as soon as open beta starts so there will be less people then. And after a few hours is when the kids would probably start to play and by then I'd be level 10.

^how so? Most people will be getting in right away. It probably depends on how long it takes to download it.

The download server is probably gonna be slow as hell. Slimes are gonna be full. KSing will be everywhere. Hell on earth. D:
