Faery Tale Online (FTO)

[Miri]

I've seen several attacks, and was attacked myself as well, but my tribe was used to live in the mines (filled with monsters, but who cared) and the introduction of aggressive behaviours was quite a shock for them.

Anyway, not playing since my Cantr cross, and not even going to log in... I'm afraid that if I do and see them still alive, I won't resist playing, and if they're dead I won't resist the 'create char' button or whatever it's called

Anyway, if anyone knew any of mine - thanks for playing
Myaria - holmkin
Ilbeth - human (kindred or sth)
Egil - anu
Anna - same as ilbeth

How come? On some levels FTO is much more advanced than Cantr. You can't see the resources when you arrive in a location, you only find out what can be found after foraging, and there might be several subareas with different pool of resources. There's much more variety than in Cantr. There are no notes so people have to make parchment and such, although now you could engrave/write on anything. They had custom descriptions from the beginning, opposed to Cantr. People are born instead of spawned. Manufacturing is much simpler than in Cantr. You don't have to mess with grams. There seems to be a wider variety of things you can build. Furniture will boost healing rates, and you don't need to actively rest on something, it assumes everyone can benefit from bedding and such. Some things can attract animals and some can scare them away. Although I've never seen an animal attack anyone even though it's been a while since it was announced they can attack people.

If that is what makes FTO different from Cantr it's most definitely a rip-off.

My newly born fto baby's mother attacks and bites her mate and has beaten beaten my brother when he was less than a year old, locked her children inside for days....yeah not fun. Wait till I get older

My 5 year old - I swear he is a complete idiot. Tells me and my twin brother to do something then when we do it, we get yelled at. I so should have taken her with her mother when she left.

lol, That's IF you get older. By the sounds of it she might abuse you to death. But sounds interesting that all families aren't from the cookie cutter mould. Biting? Which species is that?

[Indigo]

Yeah..... only 20 babies for me to be born... This is being like a mom elephant pregnancy!!!

[EchoMan]

I had 80 or so in line before me, last time I looked. I thought I'd give it a try just to see what it's all about.

[Sabsi]

Too bad it will take some time until my character can get pregnant again.

[mikki]

Yeah well my chars... only people around them is family.. So yeah

So what is FTO? What's it like, or more to the point how has it developed.. is FTO what you hoped it would be?? I ask because I'm curious to know. I am still quite new to Cantr, I have been enjoying the RP and learning as I go along but I lack an overview and a comparison from an experienced players viewpoint. I would appreciate understanding what is different about the 'feel' of the Cantr world compared to the FTO world. Don't get me wrong I'm not being at all critical I love Cantr, even though these days it's not like it used to be back in the Cantr 'golden era'.. what is there to look forward to in our shared Cantr future as opposed to the future world in FTO (the only similar game for comparison that I know of).

Any thoughts.. ? (assuming you get what I'm trying to say)

I really like sci-fi 'future world' ideas and looking towards a more advanced society, will it happen eventually in Cantr, but not in what I assume is some sort of fantasy 'backward' world in FTO.

Cantr has towns and businesses and trade routes, while FTO has families who live in their own locations as miniature societies, often not having contact with other people. If they do, the others would be likely to be of another race since there are so many races. Time goes rather fast so you need to log in at least twice a day if you're for example going to cook, since first you need to set up the fire and it will go out in a day, unless you add more wood to it, which will also take some time. In Cantr, if you make a firepit, it's going to be there forever unless someone disassembles it. You gather wood and it goes to your inventory where it can't rot, and you can carry 15 kilos, while in FTO you can only carry 11 things in your inventory, unless you have containers which also take one of those 11 slots. Containers can't contain other containers, or at least that's the case when I last tried it, so your carrying capacity will always be limited by the amount of items, not the weight (although containers do have weight limits). When you forage things, they end up on the ground, and some of them might deteriorate before you can use it. And resources are found quite randomly. For example this forest has wood, kindling, moss, willow bark, mushroom, leaves, spruce sap and maybe other things as well. If I'd choose to forage for wood, there's a chance I would come home empty-handed. In the beginning things deteriorated much faster but then it got nerfed. Now only resources on the ground seem to deteriorate, while food doesn't spoil in my inventory and my tools don't seem to deteriorate.

Thanks Seko, interesting to learn about the differences. I guess it's a completely different environment in FTO, more localised communities it appears. So do the inhabitants move around the FTO world exploring and discovering 'new lands' etc or mostly live as families and not venture far from where people are born/enter the game? Is it dangerous to come in contact with other races?

[Sabsi]

It varies from character to character... some choose to explore, some choose to stay (just like in Cantr). But of course the explorers have to reach a certain age first. The same applies to the contact with other races, it completely depends on the specific characters if they are racist enough to kill members of another race on sight, merely insult them or even greet them in a friendly manner.

Now one of my characters ended up pregnant, but not the one I wanted to. *lol* So... any of you low in the birth queue?

Or you could just build an oven.
