Depends how you look at it.
In particular situations for which starting abilities are sufficient, seasoned and fresh characters will be equally powerful.
However seasoned characters will be able to handle wider range of situations.
You can say that makes them overall more powerful yes.
But in part of scenarios they will be equal to fresh characters.
I believe on many occassions people will not know how exactly theygot knowledge.
Puff! You gained knowledge but...
Did it pop because you just killed a mob...
Did it pop because you killed the mob in forest...
Did it pop because you killed the mob in night...
Did it pop because it took you more then 2 minutes to kill the mob...
Did it pop because you carried an orange in bag while you killed the mob woth a mace...
...
You get the picture 
"Demo planet" could be a world that already exists in Alpha, that we are testing now.
Just keep it on separate instance separated from real game world (and of course polished up with all the retail fixes), and use it as demo.
I dont remember which MMO it was. But when you played an alt, and your main already had this learned, you got bonus learning speed on your alt for that particular thing.
Your alt still had to learn it but was able to do it faster.
@asspirin actually if you check gnome model un wow they are not much shorter than humans and they are wider 
Because of their own hight:width ratio they only appear small.
I like that I'm able to loot only what I want, specially when my bag will be almost full and not all will fit in the bag.
@Xzoviac said in trading, weapons, furniture, features:
You cant move chests after you have placed them but hopefully in the future you can as it's nice to remodel
Not only remodel, but a multitude of people will just place them incorrectly at start because of recklesness, negligence, cus mom interrupted them with vacum cleaner, and multitude other reasons. 
Not certain what exactly you are asking but...
as far as I know, everyone can learn all abilities regardless of what attribures he has... and everyone can slot equal amount of abilities in skill bar (?).
Maybe im wrong about the latter.
Development is always a work in progress, even after game is released.
Keep up the good work! 
I dont believe the problem is "server not being able to handle 300 people"...
Its unity, and its used for other prodicts as well and it can certainly handle many users.
Problem was something else, some investigation is neededbut it will certainly be found and fixed.
Perhaps some "skeleton setups" canbe offered during attribute selection so that people that "go in blind" can start with some predefined attribite model "damage focused mage" or "general tank"or whatever, so they will at least have good core selected for what they want.
Afterwards if they want to tweak that a bit to "different type of mage", slow "attribute change over time" model will be sufficient.
@Kralith explains this nice and polite. Way more calm then myself.
You should be grateful folks, out community is so nice, otherwise you could have easily run into some major issues. Internet is not such a nice place nowdays.
@Zetskey mate, you need to get a life dude. xD
It's why it's called stress test. You throw the thing in stressful conditions, see what didn't go efficiently, then improve on it.
There is like 2 years before game is released.
Are you seriously saying that you want smooth, bug free product already, that much before release? ^^
Damn dude, you should read a bit about software development. xD
Chose your race primarily based on how much pvp you want during your gameplay, and then secondary based on what school of magic you want to specialise in.
Aesthetics are last factor here.
So no total resets. Only if devs decide, perhaps slow tweaking over time.
This doesnt let you create totally different char but it lets you tweak your current char a little bit, which can make sense.
Human planetshoul be darker so demons can stealth around easyer
What if to even be able to change certain point you would first need to find knowledge that lets you know how to do that in the first place.
Knowledge for learning charisma, knowledge for unlearning charisma,.... all knowledge for all types of points would be extremely hard to find... and even when found, changing would still have cooldown.
