General Gameplay and Concepts

Well, here's a small, yet very useful and informative teaser on different things and concepts about Alagaesia.

To begin, we'll start with the Vocation Info:

- Simplified:
- Non-Dragon Rider Path: Farm Boy/Farm Girl -> Magician Apprentice -> Magician -> Archmage
- Dragon Rider Path: Farm Boy/Farm Girl -> Magician Apprentice -> Dragon Rider -> Elite Dragon Rider

- Detailed:

General Info:
At the beginning of the game, you start off as a mere Farm boy, doing tasks for locals, playing around with bows, wooden swords, etc. on your free time. Later on, you discover something [will not be spoiled] and you meet someone who teaches you the ways of the old, magic. And then comes the a choice that will alter the path your life leads on. You either choose one that will lead you on a perilous quest to the spine, in which you soon come to find yourself a Dragon-Rider-to-be or if you choose the other path, you are sent on a large travel to meet a person of arcane excellence in magic.

Vocations:

- Magician: A Magician is a mortal human who has learned the way of the old, Magic. Their focus skill is their magic level, and so their melee skills aren't as good. Later on, when you have exceeded the expectations of your "Master," he then promotes you to an Archmage and sends you on a journey to find a new teacher.

- Dragon Rider: A Dragon Rider [Rider for short] is one whom a Dragon Egg hatched too, infusing magical veins into your body and becoming one with your dragon in Spirit and Mind [not physically though]. They are swift and strong in their melee skills and their magic is strong, though not as strong as a magicians. Later, you can quest yourself to become an Elite Dragon Rider if the Elves approve of it.

Similarities:
- Distance skills are the same in both vocations

Differences:
- A Magician's mana regains faster than a Dragon Rider and is stronger
- Dragon Riders are superior in Melee
- Dragon Riders get a Dragon / Magicians can learn sorcery and summon monsters

Will Magicians be able to summon monsters stronger than the Dragon? and is it pretty much the pet system?

Eventually, yes they will be able too, and it is the pet system but more enhanced.

Ok, and isnt there also a dragon rider warlord\warrior? and then theres the elfs.. the rare hidden race lol

There will be something including elves, but that's gunna have to wait to be discovered by the players, if those who read the book don't already know it.

You mean the Elf Forest? where all the elves live?

i guess The elves live on trees like every elf ()

I hope you gonna make them a powerful race not like the stupids Tibian GMS that dont know what is an Elf (one of the things i hate tibia for (and so every server i work for have powerful elves))
I like the way you did it, but it looks kinda strange. Isn't the dragon riders the most powerful in alagaesia? LOL

cant wait any more for the 30th

Yeah, don't worry, elves will be powerful, and also not monsters. They will be NPC's that will fight evil, and in major events like the Burning Plains Battle, they will be there to aid in the war.
