אלפא-2 inventory user interface early preview.

Resource bag with spatial ("Tetris" style) slots.

Inventory for A2 will exist in two categories, spatial and non-spatial. The spatial inventory system will only exist for materials and gatherables. The non-spatial system will be the normal single slot inventory that is used for all completed items IE gear, consumables etc.. The spatial system is intended to provide limitation and progression when everything in the open world is gatherable, requiring players to strategize which things they choose to gather or not. These spatial inventories will be shaped in various ways that make the bag types more d conducive for certain types of gatherables allowing players to specialize their capacity. Auto sort is a feature – Steven Sharif

Personal inventory limits are tied to a backpack. Material and gatherable items are subject to quantity rather than weight limits. קרוואנים and פרדות are intended to be the primary mode of transportation of goods beyond these limits.

• פרדות can carry roughly 10 times more than backpacks. Caravans can carry roughly 10 times more than mules.

• קרוואנים will have carrying capacity limits and customizable stats, such as defensive points, speed and number of hired NPC guards.
  • In addition to expanded inventory capacity, caravans also provide ancillary benefits relating to successfully completing trade routes and other quests.
  • Items transported by caravan must be stored in crates.

In my opinion, and this is of course subjective, but weight management is not a compelling mechanic for players to have to deal with in an MMO setting. – Steven Sharif

אחסון capacity has quantity (stacking) limits based on the type of item. For example: The stacking limit of potions might be one hundred. The stacking limit of food items might be 999 or 1000.

• A player's inventory has sections for different types of items. Quest items for example will not fill a player's regular inventory capacity.
  • Materials and resource bags have spatial ("Tetris" style) slots for items with different shapes and sizes.
  • The spatial inventory system is intended to mitigate the potential for players to diminish land management scores by stripping resources from particular zones.

• There will be a healthy number of slots for gear in a player's inventory.
  • Completed item inventory slots are not space constrained (by the tetris system).
  • Completed items, such as gear are also not subject to weight limits.
  • Gear loadouts can be swapped using a hotkey when out of combat.

Inventory is split into two separate management systems. The first is your non-material, non-gatherable slots. Those are your standard single slot, not-space-constrained system that's a standard inventory: you just have a single slot, and you can pull completed items and/or consumables and quest items or whatever into that slot. And then, when you're talking about materials, specifically processed goods and gatherables: those exist within the Tetris type uh inventory system. – Steven Sharif

• Inventory capacity will be relatively limited for new characters.
  • Additional capacity may be increased by obtaining higher quality backpacks from crafters.

We want to have very unique progression when it comes to the construction of resource bags; and those resource bags will have certain benefits, like increasing stack size count of particular types of resources; or of having a additional delay time necessary to interface with with your corpse, should a player try to take the resources you might have dropped in PvP; or having passive benefits and unique structures of spacing that makes it more a better bag for wood gathering because woods are three-by-one; or a better bag for mining because mining is always two-by-two. The idea is to make your intent as a gatherer when you go out into the wild specific right not just that you're going out into the wild and gathering everything you can because it's there; and that's what we don't have like a labor system that limits it. We have a space constraint system so when you leave your node and you go out into the wild you need to be conscientious of what you're choosing to interact with and take resources for, because you have a limited space constraint to that degree. – Steven Sharif

• Players will have the ability to search for items they have stored in various locations (such as personal storage and node warehouses).

We want you to know where the things are; and then the meaningful aspect of that thing is traveling to those locations to access some of those things, particularly as it relates to materials and raw gatherables. – Steven Sharif

• Inventories will be able to be sorted.

Backpacks

In order to roleplay you need to be able to represent what your character is doing in that world and part of what animation is doing is creating these sockets on the let's say the belt or the backpack that can plug in certain types of props or items that are created by the character team. – Steven Sharif

A backpack (also referred to as a Bag) is an item crafted by artisans that provides personal inventory space.

• Backpacks are equippable in a character's back slot.
• The higher level the backpack, the greater the inventory space.

There's item progression as it relates to quality of bags, types of bags, and the materials they're most used for. Some of them are more PvP oriented that can reduce significantly drop rates for PvP as a result of that progression. – Steven Sharif

• Different backpack types cater to different activities.
  • Gatherer's backpacks are intended to carry gatherables.
  • Adventurer's backpacks are intended to carry consumables and items.
  • Player death drop rates can be affected by the type and quality of backpack.
  • Bags with reduced PvP looting times.

Some of those bags might have increased times to interact with a player corpse and you can choose to perhaps have less capacity, less stack size, less slot availability for the certain types of gatherables you may want to acquire in exchange for an increased interaction time for other players that might try to loot that bag, giving you time to reach it and take back your belongings. Or, if in the middle of a fight they see a corpse on the ground and they're like wait a minute, I want to grab that. Well, if I got to spend 10 seconds to interact with that corpse and there's combat going on, this is an opportunity strategically for you to recapture the grounds- for you to recapture the battlefield. You want to think about those types of interactions. How do you add layers of strategy to engagements and and there's ways to do that through inventory management as well. – Steven Sharif

פרדות

Daystrider mule mount רינדור תלת מימד.

פרדות are mounts that assist in the transport of goods, resources, and gatherables to increase a player's carrying capacity. Mules transport goods on a much smaller scale than the caravan system.

קרוואנים

אלפא-1 caravan 3D render. 3D model by Adam Will.

קרוואנים facilitate the transfer of goods for players wishing to turn a profit.

Mayoral Caravan system - Work in Progress.

קרוואנים facilitate the transfer of personal goods, supplies for castles, and nodes, as well as quests.

• Personal caravans are used to transport goods for one or more players.

• Mayoral caravans are used by Mayors to transfer resources between nodes that have established trade agreements or alliances.

• Caravans are initiated from and arrive at caravanserai node buildings within כפר (שלב 3) nodes and above.

Crates

Items transported by caravan must be stored in crates.

• There will be small, medium, and large crates. The higher quality the crate, the greater its capacity.
• Commodities are provided in sealed crates, which can become unsealed if the caravan or merchant ship transporting them is destroyed, or if the crate is dropped on the ground and broken into.
• Crates will be required to transfer supplies between caravans and storage points.
• Crates will undergo testing and iteration during אלפא-2.

Transported goods by caravan require crate capacity first and then can translate into storage capacity within a warehouse inventory management system or a personal inventory bag management system. – Steven Sharif

Storage

Storage points exist at warehouses within nodes and in chests (storage containers) that can be placed in freeholds and static in-node housing.

• Sheds are present on empty freehold plots to provide basic storage for materials needed to construct freehold buildings.

Player housing storage

אלפא-1 chest רינדור תלת מימד.

Chests are a type of furniture that provides localized storage within a specific house.

• Players must obtain and place storage containers in their player-owned housing.
• Different grades of storage containers have different inventory capacities.
  • There are restrictions on the grades of storage containers available in different types of houses.
• Access permissions can be set to allow others to access a player's personal storage devices.
  • Personal storage chests may be set to permit access by family or guild members.
  • Transfer of resources and materials to alts will only be possible via player housing storage, as this is local to the specific house.
• Players are prohibited from moving goods out of depositories within a node following a siege declaration against that node.
  • Gatherables and processed goods that were stored in in-node housing and apartment storage chests become lootable upon a successful siege against the parent node. These do not become lootable if the node survives the siege- even if the housing buildings are destroyed or damaged during the siege.
• Corrupt players are not able to utilize storage systems.

• Personal caravans may be launched from any point of storage (including chests).

בנקאות

Nodes advance to the first stage quickly. This enables NPC services such as vending or banking items.

• Banking between characters will likely be restricted to furniture and completed items.
• A warehouse ability may enable a player to transfer non-material goods between alternate characters. This excludes resources, materials or anything that relies on the caravan system.

Mailing items

• Raw gatherables and materials are not able to be mailed by players.
  • Purchases of anything other than materials and gatherables from integrated auction houses will be mailed to the purchaser.
• Social messages sent via mail will be received instantly.
• It hasn't been decided whether crafted items such as gear will be able to be sent via mail.

From an item standpoint obviously we can't allow mailing to include any type of resource material or raw gatherable because those are central to the gameplay and transiting through the caravan system and economic regions. But it may be possible to send completed crafted items like gear, equipment, stuff like that. But it's something we're still discussing. – Steven Sharif
