FAQ on new x5

[Emma]

For English-speaking players.

Please PM with corrections.

kinda translation of http://forum.asterio...showtopic=68533

Q: When is the opening day of the new server?

А:11 September 2010, 12:00 AM GMT+3(4?) (Moscow time zone)

Q: What rates are going to be?

А:×5, same a Hardin. Some modifiers will be calculated non-linearly.

Q: Is there going to be LUCK? (Luck, or premium account, PA - if server rates are x5 and you buy PA, your rates are x10 for everything ( not x5). Doesn't influence the drop of quest items.)

А: Yes,but only in two weeks after the server launch.

Q: Is PA(Luck) going to work on the new server, if we buy it on x3 or x5 (Hardin)?

А: Yes,but only in two weeks after the launch.

Q: Are all the other ALT+B functions going to be available right after the launch?

А: Yes, same as Hardin.

Q: What is the maximum number of online players the new server will be able to sustain?

А: Minimum10 000. The server has already been undergone successful test with 8 600.

Q: What hardware does the new server have?

А: The new х5 is going to be situated together with old х5(Hardin).The players will be quite comfortable with 24 cores and 64 GB ram.

Q: If the hardware fails to sustain both servers,what will the administration do?

А: If there are any problems with hardware performance, we will urgently buy a new server and install it within a month.

Q: What compilation of the game will be installed on the new server?

А: The new х5 is going to be the exact copy of the old one. In case if Freya is already installed on all our servers, this server will have Freya, too.

A: The maximum level of safe enchant for all the items besides fullbody armor +3. For fullbody armor they are +4.

Voting inMMOtop (Getting gold and silver)

First o all I would like to announce that maybe there are better ways to get coins on Asterios than described. That’s how I see it. And please PM with any corrections of the info.

GENERAL INFORMATION

10 silver=1 gold. You can buy different plesant things in ingame shop (ALT+B ) with them (buff scrolls/agathions/accessories), but there are no (and i hope will never be) Blesed Enchants and other items that could ruin the balance of the game.

First vote –you get nothing.

Second,third. etc. vote – you get from 0 to 5 silver coins (random). Some say chars named without numbers get more coins (e.g. you’d better vote for Clara, ratherthan C1ara). But this is pure random IMHO. You can vote only for one char a day(24 hours).

There is a possibility to create your account and verify it via SMS, if you have dynamic IP then this is for you, because it will always be too late to vote)

VOTING

1) Open the link http://la2.mmotop.ru/vote/9411/

If it’s your first vote, then you will get this picture.

«ОБРАТИТЕ ВНИМАНИЕ» means “ATTENTION!”

You can also see time left till the next vote (when you are actually going to get coins).

2) When you vote a second time, enter the name of your char, choose the server and enter CAPTCHA.

3) Ifvoting once in 24 hours is not enough for you, then you can vote via SMS

The list of available countries:

PRICE

I guess the price is different for every country..... for Poland this is 2.00 PLN, for UK - 0.50 GBP,Germany - 0.99 EUR. To see the price you must choose your country.

One SMS vote = 2 simple votes.

EXAMPLE

Letters are case SenSiTiVe. You should enter Latin letters only. If there is an error in mesage, the company is not responsible for that.

NOTE

Please be careful and attentive. I do not have info whether it works correctly in other countries (though i hope it does!), therefore you are doing this on your own responsibility!

[Scorned]

mhm ok

Quest for a first class is required?

No.

Buzz the Cat gives a first/second classes of 100k/1kk Adenas. The third profession, too, but you need in 50kk - it is not profitable, some better to pass the quest and get 5 Giant's Codex and some of money )

mhm ok

Quest for a first class is required?

as for Hardin, there is a cat in Giran and many other cities who sells professions - 1,2 and 3 profession - 100k, 1kk and 50kk (as for 3rd i haven't bought it so i'm not quite sure)

i hope that they will do the same with the new serv

but quests are still working.

Its very interesting for me - How many english-speaking players are there on Asterios.tm?

[Garlic]

Thanks a lot for translation ! Even if it's hard to find the topic cause there is no english section of forum yet

[Garlic]

By the way, about premium account, why is this written on the website then : минимум доната; вещи, влияющие на игровой баланс - не продаются; ?

[Gediminas]

[Emma]

минимум доната; вещи, влияющие на игровой баланс - не продаются; ?

Anyway you can buy and sell gold in game. It's legal.

[TheOFFka]

welcome PRIME - there is no gold.

[Stryke]

Thanks a lot Emma. One more thing, how much would cost in EUR : ".offline – leaving the character in offline trade mode. (Requires silver – E.)" and the x2 exp bonus? I didn't got it right about that x2 exp bonus, PayPal included, I suppose :-
