• 3.10 Where would you say most of your inspiration for the design of the Vanguard world comes from?

• 3.6 How much content will the world have?
• 3.6.1 With the increase in size we are also getting used to seeing an increase in navigable terrain.

• 5.2 What about my character's appearance and clothing - will I be able to make my character appear unique?
• 5.2.1 A question that some people have been interested in is the realism of the character models to be used in the game. In most past MMOGs characters have tended to be on the perfect side of dimensions. What are your views on this?

• 7.5.1 How will crafting work?
• 7.5.2 How will crafting affect the economy?
• 7.5.3 How will crafting affect dropped loot?
• 7.5.3.1 I think elsewhere in the FAQ it hinted that the most powerful items in the game would be crafted from rare dropped components, so both adventuring and crafting are necessary to make the most powerful items. Correct me if I'm wrong.
• 7.5.3.2 Can you tell me more about areas where I would be harvesting as a Crafter, my ability to defend myself, etc.?
• 7.5.4 Will Crafters be able to mark the items they craft?
• 7.5.5 Assuming you can still perform "reasonably altho nowhere close to optimal" when you enter combat in trading sphere ...
  
  Will you be able to, say, gather herbs at a "reasonably altho nowhere close to optimal" rate if you are in combat gear? Or is this a case of "that option is not available, please go back to town and change your sphere" game restriction ?
• 7.5.5.1 If i am a high level warrior gathering and attacked by mobs can i still use my fighting abilities to defend myself although at a big disadvantage due to only wearing crafter gear and using a crafters tool as a weapon?
• 7.6 Can you tell me more about these two 'spheres' of gameplay, crafting and adventuring? How does one switch between the two? For example, can a group of adventures set out and some swap spheres to harvest ore or clear a rock fall then swap back to their adventurer sphere?

Skills, Spells, & Abilities

• 8.1 What are skills - how does the skill system work?
• 8.1.1 Will there be caps on skills?

• 10.6.1 I am not a fan of locked encounters -- will your encounter system involve them?
• 10.6.1.1 Reserving such a restrictive mechanic for highly beneficial encounters would be very reasonable. To me, thats where other newer MMOGs went overboard. They locked EVERY encounter, no matter how common and miniscule. Epic fights, quest encounters, and progression boss mobs are one thing. But snakes, hawks, and rats is a bit extreme.

• 13.1.5 Will there be horses? How will they work, how important will they be, and are they just a status symbol or integral to the game?
• 13.1.6 Can my horse or ship 'die'? If so, and I've equipped it with valuable items and/or am storing valuable items on them, what do I do to recover them?
• 13.1.7 Will I be able to name my ship, horse, or any other vehicle?
• 13.1.8 What if I die while in transit on my boat? What if you die under water? Will your corpse just float to the surface? What if you die inside a building under the water? Will it still find its way up there?
• 13.1.9 In other games ships never seem to work they always lag and kill the passengers and losing a body in the ocean does not seem like fun.
• 13.2 Will travel be meaningful but hopefully not too tedious as well?
• 13.3 Will you attempt to make distant lands really feel distant?

• 17.1.4 Can I still play using a Modem? What is the minimum baud rate?
• 17.2 What sort of graphics engine are you using to make Vanguard? Is it an in-house developed engine, or a licensed engine, or a hybrid of both?

General MMOG Phillosophy

• 18.1.1 Are all your ideas internal or have you taken bits and pieces from your message boards? I'm not expecting Secret Sauce(tm) material just curious if the fans have helped out.
• 18.1.10 In EverQuest Complete Heal (CH) became a very powerful spell, maybe too powerful. Does Sigil plan to address spell balance issues like CH?
• 18.1.11 Can PvP work in a PvE world when you will always have griefers?
• 18.1.12 What do you mean by "dynamic" content?
• 18.1.13 Is there a way to combine the challenge of EverQuest with the fast start of Star Wars: Galaxies?
• 18.1.14 If the punishment factor is low enough, is a rule that rewards players for doing things the designers want (e.g. not spending all their time in 1 dungeon) worth it?
• 18.1.15 Should power players and casual players yield the same rewards?
• 18.1.16 Should companies provide game expansions for free?
• 18.1.17 What are your thoughts on the successes and failures of today's newer MMOGS?
• 18.1.18 I was so excited about Ultima Online 2 when it was under development because if they can put out a good game the first time around, they definitely will be able to improve on a lot of things. Do you share this philosophy?
• 18.1.19 Many MMOG's today have been made easier, with less down time, lower risks, easy travel, etc. Do you think you will be able to recapture the sense of adventure and challenge that many of us are missing in our games today?
• 18.1.2 What rating are you going for?
• 18.1.20 There seem to be different chat commands in every new MMOG. Do you think that these commands in MMOG's can and/or should be standardized?
• 18.1.21 How much influence will Microsoft have over your project development both now and in the future?
• 18.1.22 Should you start a beta with tons of stuff not working or not implemented yet, then introduce what is missing and fix as beta progress which is the usual path or go for a more finish product with almost everything in, and most of it in a working form?
• 18.1.23 Will your game include massive scripted events?
• 18.1.24 Shouldn't a player's choice of Deity have an impact on the playing experience, in addition to selection of class and race?
• 18.1.25 Will you keep text to the text boxes or put it in head bubbles?
• 18.1.3 What is Sigil's stance on guaranteed content?
• 18.1.4 What are your thoughts on graphical superiority vs. system requirements?
• 18.1.5 Will you go back to the complex gameworlds of MUDs and add today's standard graphics like EverQuest originally did?
• 18.1.6 Why all the secrecy? Is it to stop a competitor stealing ideas? Is it to give the players a surprise when they start playing? Is it to prevent the spoiler sites publishing their extensive databases prior to launch?
• 18.1.7 Why is it that sometimes the immense backstory of a game is treated as a trade secret from the players and the lore is doled out in such miniscule amounts that people are often unaware of the storylines?
• 18.1.8 How is Sigil going to protect the backstory as the people who originally wrote it may move around after the game is released?
• 18.1.9 Why do developers try to keep solo play to a minimum, stressing the virtues of grouping?
• 18.2.1 What actually happened to Aradune? I've read lore and webpages telling about all sorts of stuff, but I've not found anything conclusive about Aradune himself.
• 18.2.2 Will Aradune be part of Sigil's game?
• 18.2.3 What are your thoughts on the changes in EverQuest that have made the game easier? While some argue that they have made the game more player-friendly, others seem to feel they have "dumbed down" the gameplay.
• 18.2.4 There were a lot of flaws in the original concept of EverQuest. In developing your new game, are you trying to "fix" these flaws?
• 18.2.5 Will you have a short movie for players to watch the first time they boot up the game with an option of bypassing it with the touch of a key?
• 18.3.1 Will Keith Parkinson be doing the box art for Vanguard: Saga of Heroes?

• 18.4.10 What about a system where instead of receiving all your spells every 4 or 5 levels that you get 1 or 2 each level?
• 18.4.11 Should there be some compensation that would benefit players that are not able to invest as many hours in a game?
• 18.4.12 Did the game designers or the players create camping?
• 18.4.13 Would you consider a chat system that was more realistic and allowed one to communicate only with those who are near you (in other words, no chat global chat such as /tells)?
• 18.4.14 Will your spells have unique and individual names? Or will you follow the trend to simply number them (Healing I, Healing II, etc.)?
• 18.4.15 Will your game include lots of features that will make the world interesting (such as weather changes, lighting effects, animals and characters that behave in a way that enhance our game-play experience)?
• 18.4.2 What do you think of regional currencies?
• 18.4.3 How do you feel about hard level caps (50, 100, 200, etc.)?
• 18.4.4 Should level progression be fast or slow?
• 18.4.5 What are your thoughts on limited run/production items off special mobs (semi-artifacts)?

• 18.5.2 Will the design of your game focus more on crafting or adventuring?
• 18.6.1 Will Sigil's engine take advantage of dx9 and pixel-vertex shaders?
• 18.6.10 How often do you upgrade your test systems?
• 18.6.11 When you're programming your quest tools, could there be a master "on" switch for the quest somewhere? You should be able to see every portion of the quest in your Quest Tool (TM) so that you can audit the quest for problems or updating if necessary.
• 18.6.12 Have any released MMOG's solved Z-axis pathing and aggro issues? Has Sigil?
• 18.6.13 Will your game engine utilize DirectX 9 or the newly announced DirectX 10?
• 18.6.14 How can you guarantee me your game will be playable given that the high-end video cards of today on a high end machine (which will be mid-level by the time you release) cannot run a single player fully DX9 game at 1600x1200 without significant FPS issues?
• 18.6.15 Will there be multiple monitor support with possible 3d support as well?
• 18.6.16 Have you discussed the fact that there could be multiple default UIs implemented, instead of just one? Perhaps one default for each class, customized specifically for their gameplay?

• 18.6.3 Will Sigil's engine take advantage of the newest video cards?

• 18.6.8 Will you aim for lower end systems though so the game still looks great and runs smooth for the majority of the players?
