however ruled out adding additional races in the future.
2. How many areas will there be in Eldevin?
Too many to list here! We have over 14 group instances and countless
other areas. Some small, some gigantic. It will take considerable time
to explore the entire world! The initial release will not feature every
area of the world. However, we will be constantly be expanding the world
with frequent updates.
3. Does Eldevin have factions?
Yes. As the game progresses players will come in to contact with a number
of Factions. Players will be able to gain (or lose!) reputation, which can
affect how NPCs will interact with them.
4. Does Eldevin limit each character to a specific class or archetype?
No. In Eldevin players are free to pick and choose what skills and abilities
they wish to learn and improve. However there will be a limited amount of points
to spend on talents and attributes.
5. How does leveling up work?
Killing creatures and quest progression will grant experience points. Each level has
an experience threshold, and when players reach this they will level up. Gaining a
level will give players attribute points to spend. From level 5 onwards, players will
also receive 1 talent point per level that can be spent in the talent trees.
6. What are some of the abilities and talents and how do I train them?
There are currently over 100 abilities that everyone can learn. There are also 6 talent trees
based around the most common types of combat. Warriors and Templars focus on melee combat, while
Rangers and Assassins focus on ranged combat. Finally, Prophets and Mages are based
around spell casting.

There are many professions, ranging from farming and mining to tailoring and weapon smithing.

we do plan to include tournaments with in-game prizes, and a comprehensive ranking system.

Eldevin has support for a friends list and you can also create groups to complete harder quests
and dungeons. We also have a system for creating and running guilds. You can also let your Facebook
friends and Twitter followers know your progress by posting your achievements directly from the game.
10. How do servers work in Eldevin?
In Eldevin, players are not tied to one specific server. If a player find that their friends are on
another server, they can switch server to play with their friends. Additionally, we will have servers
located in many countries around the world.
11. Where does my character start in the world?
Players will begin their adventure in the small village of Othalo, outside
Eldevin City, the kingdom's capital.
12. Do I have to follow the storyline in Eldevin?
No. There is an overarcing story that leads the players through the different realms, but there is no
requirement to follow it. Players can spend their time crafting or looting items, engaging in PvP, or
exploring the many dungeons and areas. There are many non-story quests too, so there is plenty to
keep players engaged.

When your character dies, you will be given a choice of where to resurrect. Usually this will be nearby.
As you play through the game more resurrection points can be unlocked.
