Sanya posted this late on Friday, and I was on vacation for the holiday, so here you go! First up - a teaser about the PVP server. Q: Where can I find more information on the much-anticipated PVP server? A: You can find the information less than a week in the future. Keep your eyes on the Herald next week for a message from our producer. He’ll be posting details on the new server, as well as detailed information on the new Realm Skills system. Q: What are the siege weapon commands? A: Go to our guide to siege weapons and have a look. Several people have written to me looking for the slash commands – every command you need is available through the GUI (graphical user interface). By the way, you can also give up control of the weapon by getting out of the control radius, at which point anyone can take control of it. Q: What makes armor and weaponry made from the new material types better than monster drops? A: Well, for one thing, they last longer. The 10th type lasts 50% longer than high level drops, and the 9th type lasts 25% longer. More durability means less cost in the long run. In addition, you should check out the next question. Q: Did the effective AF display change (mentioned on 1/11/02) ever go into the game? A: No, it didn’t, turned out to be not possible at this time. So to truly determine the value of the armor or your weapon, you need to do a little multiplication. For armor – multiply the AF by the quality. For DPS – multiply the displayed DPS by the quality. As you can see, quality has a major effect on the value and effectiveness of your gear. Q: Why does the support@mythicentertainment.com address send me form letters when I ask questions? A: Because that address is ONLY FOR TECH SUPPORT AND BILLING INQUIRIES. (Sorry for the caps, y’all, this is a FAQ thing.) In the usual 20/20 hindsight everyone has, we should have called it techbillingsupport instead of just support. For other questions, try the plethora of fansites, try searching our Knowledge Base (you can find it by clicking the FAQ link to your right), and try the search feature to dig through four months of grab bags. Q: Any more details available about that new guild leader thingy that Jeff Hickman posted about earlier this week? A: Why yes! - If no character in the guild is active, because the entire guild shifted realms, the guild will remain untouched. - As long as someone is marked as a leader (rank 0), other, inactive guild leaders will not be demoted. I understand that many people travel for work and school, go on vacation, etc., for more than three weeks. The thing is, three weeks is an eternity in game time, and things come up for guilds that require someone with administrative powers. If you’re going to be gone for a few weeks, it’s a good idea to have a second-in-command ANYWAY. You can always demote the stand-in when you return. There are a number of guilds out there that have been helpless for months to promote, form alliances, buy emblems, take over keeps, etc., because their leaders left without turning over administrative control. We (probably naively) assumed that leaders who decided to leave Camelot would not do so without giving someone else the reins. This new program addresses these concerns. Please, though, make sure the email address you have registered with us is accurate and up to date. I’m a little worried about guild leaders who have been playing twinks or alts that may miss the email asking them to log in for a few seconds with their leader character. We do not and will not share our email list with anyone at any time – entering your real email address will not cause you any spam. Happy Easter, Passover, or just a darn nice weekend! --Sanya
