[Unofficial] Body Demo Live Stream Q&A and FAQ!

[Kattycake]

I just put together some stuff! Feel free to correct me if I am wrong!

*Q: Is there facial customization? Like mouth, eyes, etc.
A: There is facial customization!(not much was said on facial customization)

*Q: What is the hair selection like?
A:Character generation will start off with some basic hairstyles, and then visiting the salon in-game will offer more hairstyles and colors that can be bought with gold. The cash shop will also have other options available for real money. But you'll be able to buy lots of hairstyles with normal gold as well, no real money required.

*Q Can hair color be changed?
A: In the demo most likely not (or it may be limited) but in release you can (and the salon I think will have a larger selection?)
Hair streaks/dye streaks were also mentioned by Monique but it seemed like it will be implemented for later updates.

*Q: What sliders were shown in the Body Slider demo?
A: You can customize chest, waist, hips, muscle, and overall body thickness sliders (as was noted before).

*Q: What about height sliders?
A: Height sliders: Monique commented, "We are working on that".
It was also noted that if/when they work on height it will be subtle because they want everyone around the same height. It is "TBA" Mark said.

*Q: It was asked "When you start playing will there be a default clothing option or will there be a little to choose from until you go to a tailor?"
A: In customization you can choose from one of two outfits. Shirt and pants or shirt and dress.
They were described as "Simple peasant clothes" and Monique noted they will most likely be brown.

*Q: Can you change your body type later in the game or after customizing it?
A:You cannot choose your body type later. They don't want to have "plastic surgery" to their name.

*Q: Can one eye color be selected separate than the other?
A: Eye color is selected together, so you may not have one eye color different from the other.

*Q: I asked: Will there be accessories added as well as clothing? Necklaces, hats, ties, scarfs, and/or earrings?
A: In response: "There are slots planned for those items."

*Q: Will there be chat bubbles in game?
A: There will be a chat boxes in game but chat "bubbles" in game wasn't really clarified on (for party or local chat). **

*Q: What about emotes?
A: Monique turned on some nice jazzy salsa-esque music and had the character model dance, so I asked: Will there be dancing emotes? There will be "many animations". But emotes, they said they are implementing a few.

*Q: Can you do emotes with other characters like a hug or high-five?
A: from Matt "No plans for emotes that animate another character."

*Q: Will there be Mounts in the game?
A: Yes there are going to be mounts.

*Q: Will there be more fantasy options?
A: Not in the default customization but there will be buyable items in the cash shop.

* Q: Will you have it so we can transfer x amount of in game money to the "real money" currency.
Or is it just gonna be straight dollars to buy the extras[/b]
A: Monique - "Currently, no."
Matt - "It will be like a regular cash shop game where you buy cash shop items with real money, that is where we are going with it because that is what is best for our current transaction system".

* Q: Can you pay enough gold to buy something that could be bought with real money?
A: Matt - "No, the cash shop money will be excusively for the cash shop." However he noted in the base game there will be special items too, but cash shop items will be "extra special".

* Q: Is there a dye system with the clothes (or furniture even). If there is, how are dyes acquired?
A: Matt - "Yeah both clothes and furniture will be dyed. Certain clothes will require certain dyes to be used. With furniture you can pick the colors avaliable. Dyes are acquired by picking plants & flowers. Only tailors can do this."

*Q: What about scars and freckles what-not?
A: Monique - "There is a slot for that in the face breakup".

*Q: Will there be like a separate wilderness to explore and not just towns and their out-skirts?
A: Monique - "Oh yeah, definitely. We already have the map drawn out. That is probably going to be our next major update. Towns make up small areas of the map." There will also be easter eggs.

*Q: Will there be a Roleplaying server? Or PvP server?
A: Monique - "I don't know how we'd do a PvP server. But if it was something like competition we'd have to discuss that." Roleplaying servers were not clarified on? **

* Q: Is there cow tipping?
A: "If you tip your cow your cow will not like you very much" However, I was not sure if this meant there will be cow tipping?**

* Q: Can your run around naked?
A: A lot of people wanted to know this!

Apparently someone said that "they figured you'd be able to run around as naked as the model is currently. But they might not have that to avoid mass amounts of nakey." (Thank you dineosaur!)

*Q: in terms of the payment situation, will it require a monthly subscription like WOW, a one-time payment like minecraft, or will it be a free-to-play that for some things you need to pay money for, like getting a subscription to do certain things?
A: "Ideally what we will try for very hard is for a one time payment. Games that are free-to-play aren't 'very good'. We don't want to do a subscription. But it's really going to depend on our finances because at the end of the day everything costs money." There WILL be a cash shop.

*Q: One time payment for a like a premium account? What is the one time payment for?

A: Buying the game is essentially like minecraft. Buy to play. The only "premium account" is kickstarter backer accounts that have added items.

*Q: Matt - Can I talk about weather in the game?
A: Monique - We still need to discuss this. (This means there might be weather!!)

*Q: Are there possibly gonna be interior decorator professions? Like creating drawings and stuff for other players?
A: Thats an idea we havent really discussed a lot about that because - I guess we decied no because we didn't want people to draw weird things. (like penises?)

*Q: Will you be able to invite people over to your house? if so can you throw parties and stuff?
A: Yes, why not?

*Q: If an in-game player gets married or they're just tight friends can they give farm permissions to their loved-one?
A: that we are working on. It's a tricky balance. Two people can get in a fight over permissions.
We don't want to have anything that will lead to possible griefing.

Thank you Matt, Mark, and Monique. They also mentioned happy holidays or christma-hannu-kwanzaa to everyone!

On the nakeyness one said they figured you'd be able to run around as naked as the model is currently. But they might not have that to avoid mass amounts of nakey.

Thank you for clearing that up! I am going to add that =D

I'd like to clarify on the hair thing.

Character generation will start off with some basic hairstyles, and then visiting the salon in-game will offer more hairstyles and colors that can be bought with gold.

The cash shop will also have other options available for real money.

But you'll be able to buy lots of hairstyles with normal gold as well, no real money required.
