This thread will feature links to both the official battle system site and related/useful FAQs and guides.
The Gaia battle system has been causing much excitement. We have been waiting for the MMO for a long time. So I am going to get links and such that contain all the info for the MMO which has been called zOMG. So if you are interested take the time and check it all out.

Battle systems Information and links:
Some Basic Battle system information...
1) When battle systems is first launched it will be against gaia monsters only. There is some anticipation that at some point we will be able to battle against other players, but that isn't for some time yet.
2) You earn "abilities" through rings, you will be able to hold a maximum of 8 rings and you can enhance the ability of these rings.
3) You'll be able to click to move, click to select a monster and click a ring icon to attack monsters.
4) You'll be able use hotkeys to toggle between targets, 1-8 keys to use your corresponding rings. Hit SPACEBAR to select yourself (for quick heals during combat) and more.
5) The battle system will be across the World Map, except in those areas where the map is already designated to something else.
6) Towns runs on GST, and currently runs on a 12-hour clock cycle, Gaia may accelerate this a bit so that day/night cycles rotate more often. Battle would then use that same day/night cycle with in the game, allowing for quest that would require a player to operate in either day or night to be easier to accomplish.
7) Still no ETA as to when it will be launched, other then "some time THIS year", and rumored to be sometime before Halloween 08. wink
8 There will be around 40 rings at launch date. You will be given a few pick from when you first start the game but the amount will be from a very limited choice group. The rest you will need to get from the game.

Q&A : (New)
Q: Will we be able to use our avatar items like weapons or armor in the game?
A: The answer given is NO
Q: What the heck is Zeta? I see that in many signatures on the site from people saying they are testers.
A: Zeta is the nick name given to the most recent wave of testers either by each other, or older testers. zMOG+Beta= Zeta.
Q: What are the advantages of being a tester?
A: Testers get to get a sneak peek at the game and get to play it before others.
Q: If testers get to play it before anyone else wouldn't that give them an unfair advantage over others with items and stuff?
A: No, things gained in the game while they are testing will be lost when the game is set up for everyone else to play. The main thing they'll gain from being a tester is knowledge, that they can later share with other players.
(If you have questions you'd like to see answered here feel free to ask and I'll try to get an answer if I can. Remember though spoilers aren't allowed so please don't ask for any. Thank you.
