2. Skill based, still a lot of grinding though (worst part of the game in my opinion).
3. As open as it gets, both a blessing and a curse. But new players are protected.
1. Nope. If you die, you go to Elysium for awhile and it's disconnected from the world, but that's the only thing that could be called instancing.
2. No classes, no levels. Over time you develop a portfolio of skills that are rated from 0 to 99. You choose as you go along which ones you want to train and/or practice in. When a skill reaches roughly 92 or 93, you are considered to have "mastered" it and it will say so on your character's public web page. You start with zero skills in all categories but some hard core players now have mastered 25 or more skills.
3. Yup. There are a few limitations here and there but otherwise the entire 900 square kilometer area is one big PvP zone. The romans and the barbarian tribes are pretty much at peace right now but with some recent banditry and intrigue occuring, I'm betting another war is going to break out.
I've been reading up on this game for quite some time now and am thinking about giving it a go. I know not to get my expectations up and can look past the crudeness of this game. For the most part it sounds like a game pretty much suited for someone like myself, I don't like endless quest lines and I simply can't stand any level and class system. I'm very picky about combat, so that's pretty much the only thing holding me back from every mmorpg out right now. I'm aware the game is always being worked on, and I'd love to contribute as an active player, but I'd like to know if they plan to really work on and optimize this game for combat or any large scale player interaction in general.
What I mean is, is there any long term plan to make combat team oriented, maybe somewhat on a larger scale, and a little more in-depth? I'm thinking of formations and a little planning if that's possible. The rest of the game sounds really fun to me, but I'm not the ideal mmorpg player in that I focus on combat and team combat over the rest of the game, although I always get into a game in its entirety.

We never know what will be worked on and when, but we do know things will get done at some point.
There are plans to design a way to link up multiple players to each other and they will be controlled by a leader. This will be used for formations and to move objects that will need many ppl, like catapults.
Never give up and never surrender!
1: No. Instancing is for lam0rz. Seriously though, no. Its open, and people interact with each other.
2: Skill based. Its more or less like Ultima Online. You hit someone, you might gain some weapon skill.
3: No. New player cannot be attacked, because of a mystical force called "Attending". Attending is more powerful than any god or player could ever be. Its laughable, and detracts from the realism of the game.
