Welcome to Gaia! ::

When Beta Launch flies into our window, will the devs randomly select a few users to test it out?

That way it wont crash with the millions on gaia?

Or will millions of gaians jump into the action and crash it?

Swarf, Will I be able to take 300 of my warriors to fight against the other army of a thousand nations?

Once we get PVP of course?

how large of a bribe do you need to assure I become a beta-tester?

Questions, questions, yes, I have a few good ones:

1. Approximately how large will the battle area be, say, in compairison to Barton Town?

2. Is there a main objective to the battle system (a principle story element), or are the battles largely random?

3a. If 2 = Yes Then what is the approximated time to complete this?

3b. If 2 = Yes Then will this main story be repeatable, limitedly repeatable, or one-shot?

3c. If 2 = No Then will the battle system be used to deliver quest events like the current annoucement system does, and will these events be repeatable, limited, or one-shot?

4. What happens if/when you die?

5. Will the creatures' stats scale with the player's stats, or are they fixed?

6. Will chat/emotes be part of the battle system like they are in Towns, or will they be omitted or just different?

7. Will the battle system be point-and-click driven, menu driven, or keyboard driven?

7a. If Keyboard driven, can we remap the control keys? Please? Please?

7b. If Menu driven, will battles be active or turn-based?

7c. If Point-and-Click driven, could you PLEASE disable the right-click option silently? I can't tell you how many times I've lost a fish to an accidential right-click/flash option configuration.

8. Are we going to be stuck with an unscalable window like we are for most of the rest of the games? I have to say not being able to resize the game windows REALLY sucks 99% of the time.

9. If the battle system areas function similar to the way moving about town works, can anything be done to prevent the following:

a. Stuff near "the edge"/"exit arrows" - This is a real pain in town when you accidentally leave an area.

b. Stuff near unaccessable areas (aka those stupid topic billboards). In town, papers, cans, and boots LOVE to pile up behind them en masse. Unfortunatly, there is absolutly no way to click on them, as this registers as clicking the topic sign.

Those are all my major questions for now.

will rings that combo with one another have a key peace in the name so to tell you they are part of a combo or are we completely in the dark on comboing?

A question to Swarf.
what is the pecentage that The battle system will not be shown in halloween eveent of 08?

Q: Does the Battle System come this year, 2007, or early next year, 2008? ninja

My Question: Approximently how many places will we fight at?

Seventeen! xd We're going through a different process for Battle than with the other games. So we hope to catch more of the bugs. We can't be perfect, though.
