1. Can you get good loot? Big issue with me on project entropia was they were going away from giving actual loot.
-What kind of loots are there? Any Weapons and Armor??


2. Skills - Is skilling similar to the old Project Entropia?


3. When game goes live - will there be a full reset? (wiping all characters) ??


4. Will i like this game? I liked the old PE (well..:)

-What kind of loots are there? Any Weapons and Armor??
The loot is more realistic - animals drop animal parts, robots drop robot parts, mining gives you ores.
Weapons and Armor are crafted using resources dropped ONLY ... never dropped.

2. Skills - Is skilling similar to the old Project Entropia?
Skills are gained by using equipped items (weapons, heal kits, mining equipment), by interaction with creatures (damage protection called 'Avoidance' skills) and by crafting items.
Each level of skill gets blocked when it reaches 100% of the level and needs to be unblocked using items call Promissory Notes.
Promissory Notes are gained by trading ores with NPCs (inefficient, slow but requires nothing but a pick) or by trading loot gained by killing creatures.
Each skill level requires 110% more skill points that the prior level and requires a similar increase in Promissory Notes to unblock.
(The loot to Promissory Notes terminal is not available yet ...coming very soon).

3. When game goes live - will there be a full reset? (wiping all characters) ??
Developers say no - they may adjust the loot drop rates / loot types as the player base changes to ensure that sufficient loot can be found to both  craft and unblock skills.

4. Will i like this game? I liked the old PE (well.. :)
Cannot answer this. IMHO - the game is not ready yet for  new players ... it needs to be balanced for them.

-All loot is good for something, is not TT food here, u will chose to TT'it ( meaning here u will receive P'Nnotes for loot, P'Notes used to unlock skills, or later trade for AWD )
-For now the DL said will be some terminals soon who will trade the loot u have from creatures for P'Notes, and later the TT here will have an extra option at some point ( if I remember right), and u will be able to exchange the loot for different rates, depends where u are and what NPC is at that specific time, and u will also trade the P'Notes for AWD. It is a group of skills to make this even more dynamic, probably a future profession among the others called Trader
-DL said the new system will have items in loot, but here we have few items who don't decay and those use electricity to be charged ( here u don't have a repair terminal ) or simply u don't need to do anything whit that item because u get some extra advantages like are the backpacks who allow u to carry more weight.


3. P.note economy system: now you can sell iitems that are being dropped from mobs for p.notes. You'll be able to do it in cities, terminals at the beginning, and later - sell them to NPC's


2. Skills - Is skilling similar to the old Project Entropia?

Skill system is here in my opinion better and smarter than PE at least for two main reason,
- first u need to unlock the skills in case one of those is locked and force u to use the money u have in case u want to be an UBER, u have to chose to do business whit the AWD/P'Notes or to advance the skilling further, or both but proportionally,
- second are the Avoidings who are way better than in PE, there u have two avoids Dodge and Evade, here u have 9 avoids, and makes u grow them separately, makes u mix hunting in order to be good in all, or u can specialize in close combat, or long range one, here u have all avoids who u could find IN PE but separately like Cold avoidance, Cut avoidance, Penetration avoidance, frag, burn, acid, stab, impact, electric.
- I add something here but is uncertain now, because this subject was delayed for future, the Trading supposed to be a profession who allow u to get a better rate for exchanging the loot/items/P'Notes to the NPC/Terminals...we will see how DL chose to implement this profession



3. When game goes live - will there be a full reset? (wiping all characters) ??

-DL said NO RESET, but some adjustments will be for loot, and balance economy ( in process and soon will be done )


4. Will i like this game? I liked the old PE (well..:)
-I believe u will like it very much, but to not get disappointed now I suggest u to come back when the major bugs r fixed and at least the old players will be back in game to test the balance economy, atm u have nothing to do here except get frustrated because of the bugs,

I played PE Pre-Gold they had tons of bugs then, and they DID wipe on Gold release. AWS is much better.

Another important difference is that ALL items are limited (L) items and that ALL are crafted, as Jane mentioned. Nothing that can be equipped (clothing, armor, weapons, tools, etc.) or used as decoration comes directly from loot. This game's economy is based entirely on the players rather than lucky loot and crafting rewards, so loot makes sense and crafting is always 100% successful and 100% manual (no automatic crafting option, but you can craft whatever quantities you like) but only gives you what you intended to craft. As your crafting skills increase you can make better stuff and as you use the same blueprint over and over, you can upgrade it to make more and more repairs on L items, up to 30 so far.

Keep these differences in mind, but I agree with the previous recommendation to not start playing seriously unless you really want a change and you don't mind show-stopping bugs from time to time. But whether you start today or you start after the next major update - which should be any day now - also keep in mind that there are many large features which haven't been implemented yet. So what you see this year will be greatly expanded upon (which is to be expected in any MMO), but there should be many more new things implemented in AW than your average MMO within the next two to five years.
