    I know it says that we have crafting and character races unlocked…. can we actually choose a race and craft in Oort yet?

    Hey Daniel!

    Same here, though i think the best place to LFG is here. http://oortonline.com/forums/forum/community/looking-for-group/

    I know it hasn’t been used, but bumping it should help. There are other posts just under social (:

    I prefer contact VIA skype, my gaming account name is Montrusal . You can reach me there, i am usually available evenings, MST (North America) and i am currently working in a hollow mountain, building a “dwarven city” or castle. Should be cool if you wanna join!

    I think this would be an awesome idea for Job Boards. PC made Quests, looking for group or help, etc.

    I like to write, so i get carried away. Edits all around!

    Short and sweet version:

    I really like all the unique crafting ideas found here, and the gritty details. What matters most to me is how unique i can make something, and increase its value as so.

    How about the ability to craft recipes, and be able to share those recipes with others? Adding certain things to the mix like powers or cosmetics/effects? I was thinking of certain runes or inscriptions layed out randomly in the worlds you can learn by looking at, or pieces you can collect, and add it to your skill tree. Then you can combine these little bits of ingredients to make something new and unique.

    In this way, the players would have some real sandbox crafting to play with, see what makes what, or if they can make something better. I was thinking of a way to share recipes and knowledge with others as well, so you can trade different runes/inscriptions for others or teach others your own. Tons of combination, lots of exploring, and beat the competition with your own special tools or weapons or however.

    Also, it would be nice to leave these things anonymous. Maybe one rune works best on swords, but you have been trying it this whole time on scythes. If you taught it to someone else who crafts swords now they have made a sweet looking weapon, but you wouldn’t know unless you fit them together properly. I like the idea of sandbox.. not a window system that tells me what i can or can’t do, as long as i grind enough to get there.

    Also, how about a naming system? If you discover a rare recipe after combining, name your tools/weapons to be unique to that recipe?

    There you have it. (:

    I would have to agree with a multiple character option.

    If the idea is to have a few starting worlds, multiple character races (and possible class options!) Then having multiple characters could be beneficial.

    First, Yes on the Role Players. Most every MMORPG has a Role Play community. Not only do people enjoy it, but it gives a certain amount of life to the game.

    Additionally, if i focus one character on fighting and PvP, or hunting temples, and another is a fantastic traveling merchant focused on mining and building, i might want to switch. Especially if there is going to be a progress or leveling system in place. Some people like to level up.

    -Checks and Balances

    *You need some security with this. @Grimoire- Griefing has and always will be an issue. In the case of multiple characters, you would need each one tied to your username/account, and visible to either everyone, or when you submit a report or ticket that character name can be tracked. No one gets away with griefing. ( and i doubt this game will wind up like Minecraft. It’s pre alpha bud, they don’t even have a proper simple UI yet.. Just you wait!)

    *Item Swapping… This can get out of hand. One character hands off priceless gear to make another powerful. We have all seen it happen, and in some cases it isn’t too bad. I don’t know enough about the mechanics of the world to understand if it would add negativity.

    *Guilds- Everyone wants to be the guy/gal who betrays one guild for another, being a double agent etc., etc. but everyone also hates it when it isn’t them. If you have multiple characters, you should keep the same guilds and alliances. No sense in fighting both sides.

    *Quantity – Too many characters is a lot of trouble. For a game like this, i would say a max limit of 3 sounds acceptable. More would require too much time. Less could be as good as having just one.

    *Bans – If you get banned from ANYTHING- Beacons, worlds, games… It should be ACCOUNT WIDE.

    Finally — If multiple characters become out of the question, there should be an option for a sort of restart. A chance to begin again. because we have all been to that point where our Main is just done with their life cycle, and it is time to move on.

    I am leaving some things out but i am ant work and my brain is fried xD

    Hey guys, i went to their website and ordered from there rather than through steam. It was early in the morning… Just remember, they are located in the UK! So depending on your time zone, it might take them a bit (im just throwing guesses around here). I got my email within a few hours. Make sure you make a username at GA.ME, and then EMAIL them with your username, from the E-mail address that you bought the game with. They are very prompt, very nice developers. They want you to play as much as you do!

    Did you sign up for Explorer? It looks like you have forum access. Reach out to them if you need help.

    Additionally, if you are new like me.. When you are done exploring worlds i could use some help on OMOSON. Found a lord of the rings style mountain completely hollow… And it is gorgeous. Looking to build a mountain city, with a fortress and all. Ill be posting in the forum for it!
