Anders|MA: All players will start with a basic appartment. However it may be in the players interest to buy either a bigger appartment or even a house.
Per|MA: H2SO4: Yes, bank institutions can store your items for you and will keep them in mint condition. You can later extract your item from any other bank institution. Your dwelling can house items as well, but you do not need a dwelling just to keep items.
Anders|MA: We will use an insurance system. You insure your equipment so you will keep it if/when you die. However, if you murder a player all your insurances will be lost.
Per|MA: Cidium: Yes, NPCs will be available for hire for a lot of various purposes. Guards is a good example, where a better guard will cost more. NPC guards will unerringly guard whatever area they are ordered to guard. Simple, no?
Xander: *Noir* How will societies be able to create and incorporate their official logos into the game? Will there be a way to import some form of graphic file into the PE game that everyone would see? Then would this be a screened process to prevent constant changing of logos and possible obscene content?
Per|MA: Noir: Society logos must be sent in and reviewed, mainly to see to it that they are standardized and will work as a society decal.

5. How does Mindark plan on involving the characters in the story? Will they use "GM" characters that will seek out players and send them on quests? Or some other model?
Yes to both questions. MindArk plans to employ one hundred and twenty people to begin with during spring that will solely be inside the game as GM characters to help other players with problems that might come up, or just to offer help.

How many characters will I be able to have?
You will be able to have 5 - 8 different characters.
