a few bits and bobs

Allow me to try and answer this to the best of my ability since I just woke up. |D

1. Yeah, I'll get on that. But, for the chat link, really, you could just hold down 'refresh'. But I'll add it anyway.

2. The best way to go about this is to think about 1/2 Prince in terms of immersion. 99.9% realism; you get pain (but, since it's Disney, there won't be virtual blood flying everywhere. You're more likely to get heavily bruised than have gashes and broken limbs), you need to eat every now and again (think of it as tricking your body into thinking it's fine by stuffing your face with data, though it's really just roleplay fluff), and sleep is great (it's a literal data dump for the mind, and your virtual body will wear itself out if you don't get some shut eye).

Heights might be an issue at the very beginning until they get used to it. Unlike, say, SAO, where it did a full body pat down and analysis, the gear for KHO really only worries about your brain. So, if you have physical issues, your avatar will not reflect that (unless you specifically make it that way). Also, actual games don't care what your gender is 'cause they have a Male and Female character option or just a single character option for a class. For KHO, it's not going to matter. Though, if a female player makes a male avatar, they're going to have to play around with their voice since the game isn't going to synthesize it for them. But, if it's a player who has transitioned already, thus their voice would have already changed, then it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

3. When it comes to the GUI, you really won't see it unless you focus. It will automatically appear with notifications and when enemies appear. However, the GUI is otherwise not visible for immersion. I'm honestly still unsure how quests are going to go since that'll be trial and error for a bit, but I'm all down for being like "SHADOW #12623 DIED; GREEN ORBS AND MUNNY FOR EVERYONE!"

Music will probably be like an annoying hum in the back of your head unless you go into your settings and mute it. I don't know why you would want to 'cause KH music is great. You just can't mute your other players. |D Just block them from messaging you.

4. We haven't spoken much about if there's a loss for death and respawn. It'll hurt, definitely. Most MMOs take away a small percentage of your EXP, but that's a little harder to do here. Game Master ? Though, really, I guess we might have to put that up to a vote since it's the players who will be losing things. Can't be too punishing until end game.

5. We don't have a set year, but I would say around 2050's? In which Frozen is a classic. /shot.

6. It's not them as a FC! :'D It's that character but in the site's AU. This leaves a lot up to the player's interpretation on how they would have grown up in a completely normal world (normal meaning without magic). Freeform canons are using their canon name as their avatar name, but they can also use that as their actual name. Organization members are different because their "real" selves are their Somebody selves (to those that apply).

Considering FF characters are up for play, this site's universe does not have the actual FF canons as characters within their games. It's kind of like in anime how they will parody what the real world has, even though that's mainly due to copyright reasons. So, instead of a Final Fantasy game having Cloud Strife, the actual game for this site might have Vapor Clash. Thesaurus.com, thank you for that wonderful name.

Your role in the game itself might also be completely different than the actual game. Like, if Galeforce decided that they wanted Sora to lay low and not be on the front lines trying to beat up bad guys, then that's perfectly acceptable. If Roxas never leaves the Organization, that's cool, too. If half the Organization never disappears? Swell.

7. Unless those titles have characters in upcoming games, their characters will not be up for canon roles. They will, however, be allowed as face claims. The Final Fantasy canons allowed are from the main series.

8. The level system was decided by Game Master (casually throws him under the bus). He'll have to do the most answering for this question, but by "story progression" we mean the main story. You cannot progress in the main story unless you clear at least the main quests in a world in order to gain access to the next world. We also suggest partying up since you will be able to bounce off each other more and rack up more posts during a quest.

Please note that systems are always subject to change, especially during the first month or so. If the post thing doesn't work out well enough, then there are other systems we can try out. ovo I like point systems over post systems.

Vayne has also been super vague on how we're doing quest stuff, so if you guys have ideas, I'm all ears. Eyes. I'll take 'em. :I

9. There's so much that could go wrong if we allow people to lose levels upon going to a lower leveled area. This will have to be talked over, though I guess it could be more of a level suppression than actually losing the levels and gaining them all back the moment they leave that world. But, in Kingdom Hearts, even if you're on the weaker worlds, there is always the chance of being overpowered by the enemy, especially if the stronger enemies of that world appear in larger numbers. I'm pretty sure that was something close to what we were talking about doing before.

Yeah, we'll have to discuss that. It's not something we need to worry about just yet, at the very least.
