대략 RVR 기반겜이라는 이야기인데….
다옥에서 얼마나 발전된 모습을 보여주느냐가 관건일듯..

What is the game all about?

Here, we express the core idea of the game. We outline the backstory, overall setting, and general game play. We also talk about how WAR will be designed as a Realm-based PvP (we call it Realm vs. Realm, or RvR for short) game from the ground up. Every aspect of the game, including PvE content, will be geared towards the greater war between the Realms in some important way.

What are the primary development features and risks?

A good deal of thought goes into deciding certain core features of an MMO. There are the ones any game in this genre need to have (characters, races, magic, weapons, etc.) and then there are new ideas that we believe will make out game the best one out there. Some of the new features are minor additions; some are “big ideas”. The danger of latching on to an idea too grand to be fulfilled is ever-present and has to be avoided. However, we must also come up with those one or two key ideas that raise the bar to ensure that our game is unique and exciting.
As the feature list is fleshed out, the team is also evaluating the potential risk of adding each feature to the game. All aspects of art, technology, systems (career paths, mounts, RvR, etc.) and content are thoroughly evaluated to make sure they can be done to the level we desire without driving development costs and time through the roof.
