Channels.

*hints to GMs and Outspark admins*

I really hope the game has a lot of channels throughout the CBT and OBT. Why? Well, one problem that plagued the GnG closed beta was... well.. you guessed it... kill-stealing. See, kill-stealing in Windslayer is pretty much... unrewarded. In fact, if you start attacking a monster, and a stronger (maybe by a level or two, maybe more) player comes and does more damage, finishing it off, this player still gets a cut of the EXP. Which is pretty sad, if you ask me. So, please, all administrators and game masters of Outspark, I beg of you... add lots of channels.

I agree! The reason I stopped playing MMOs awhile back was because of kill stealing.

During the beta you shouldn't even care about kill-stealing. Your characters are wiped anyways. So different channels are not really needed for CBT. After the official launch there will most likely be various channels depending on many people play the game.

How so? Considering that people want to test high level content and report bugs from there too, kill stealing is still a major aspect of Closed Beta too, people are also testing out bulds, and there's no way they'll reach a high level with someone constantly killing their monsters.

They could also just raise the exp rate. Also KSers don't really slow down the leveling of the server. If they kill your mob you can just get another one faster and they also get exp.

Too many channels will make the game seem like a ghost town though, also unnecessary server maintenance costs if you make TOO many that aren't used. They'll probably start with too little and add a few as time goes on if the game is too popular for their amount of channels.
