A: Several months. We would like to make the server open in second quarter of 2011. However, the exact date might be later, all depends on the intensity of our work and some random things.
Q: How many NPC factions will be in game?
A: Those which you know from Fallout 1. Also those, which were only mentioned in game. Examples: the Vipers and the Jackals will be additional raider factions and will have their own camps.
Q: Will large Radscorpions be back?
A: Yes, whatever the question was.
Q: Can I play as a ghoul or super mutant?
A: Yes. You will be to able choose one of three ghoul models, and one of two Super Mutant models (there will be three Super Mutant models in game). We know that for some players it might be strange to see Super Mutant in Junktown or Hub, but we don't want to limit players. If they want to play as Super Mutant or a ghoul, why not. However, we haven't decided bonuses for playing as another race, yet.
Q: What can you do with cars besides driving them?
A: You can install few types of upgrades, if you manage to find parts and have enough skill to do it (or pay someone who will install it for you). Upgrades affect such things as speed and fuel consumption. You can also steal cars, but if you fail to do so, you risk switching alarm on - it's so loud that it will surely make car's owner not satisfied. Also, you can remove the lock or install it back. Repairing your car might be a bit of problem, so better find a friend who is a good at fixing things, or expect to pay much for repair.
Q: Do you have a full set of developers?
A: Yes, I always have one in my pocket.
Q: Do you have any idea about what you're doing?
A: We don't know. But then again, who does?
Q: Will AmmoMod have anything common with 2077 game mechanics?
A: Its author.
Q: Can I use custom interface while playing the game?
A: Sure. We will also add Scope Interface as soon as someone makes it for all resolutions like: 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1280x800 and lets us place it in game as default for aiming. Unfortunately, using tools like FOCD will be prohibited and rewarded with permanent ban. By the way, as mentioned before, AlwaysRun function is already in game.
Q: How many "lulzy" things, like in Fallout 2, will be in game?
A: None.
Q: How can I help? Are you looking for modders?
A: If you can make maps for FOnli... well, if you can make AWESOME maps for FOnline, then we could use your help. Also, we need few people that can make good English dialogues for NPCs and know a lot about Fallout 1 and Fallout canon.
Q: Will the server be heavily moderated due to its RP nature, or it will be just another Free-For-All arena for powerbuilds?
A: I've read somewhere that "every roleplay-mandated world is essentially going to have to be a fascist state". As it's true somehow, our server will be moderated, yes. Character nicknames will have to fit into Fallout world. Exploiting well-known and described bugs will be forbidden, as well as insulting not player's character in game, but the player himself, spamming chat to make it unreadable and other shit which no one likes. Players will be warned, then banned. If the player was invited by someone else, sanctions might apply to both of them - especially in a case of an attempt to register second char or dual log.
Q: How are you going to verify characters?
A: After you register your character, you will have to write an email to us with the story of your character and answers to several questions. Your character will be not playable until it is accepted. When it is, you can just enter activation code and choose your character's model. Then, you can play.
As always, we'll present you a small feature - if you were worried about the fact that player names will not be visible over their heads, this should assure you that it will be not as annoying as it sounds:
If more questions bother you, just write us an email to fonline2077@gmail.com. It will be answered in some time.
Again I am obliged to say... AWESOME!
