We have a gui showing various things, I think it would be handy for the gui to show our current weight and weight limit, could be handy when hunting, mining and picking rocks.
Not crucial but would be convenient

It might be nice if Extractors weren't the color of the vegetation, it can sometimes be quite difficult to find them, as they can tend to go invisible.
Blue or pink would be easy to see
Also, if on the radar extractor dots could be a different color to Mining Claims.
When you have 30 dots and 5 are extractors and 25 are mining claims it can get pretty messy tring to find things, particularly as the extractors are sometimes bugged and need to be 'retsarted' even though they had already been started.So sometimes you have to run around to extractors and check they are actually running.

Different color extractors, and different color dots.
Or, the ability to turn a Mining Find off from broadcasting on the radar.

It still has it showing here  "AfterWorld: Alpha" Tech Forum (archive) , via Survival Forum, in case that's of any use.

There are six official languages - Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish.
In theory, Dedicated Logic Ltd should provide in game content (NPC, tutorial, etc) translations for each.
However, that is not going to happen for many years.

6 languages is only a technicality, it is only relevant in terms of the United Nations.
If you are at a UN meeting then yes its relevant, if you are not at an UN meeting then no it is not.
It means nothing in real practical terms.
Approx 20% of the world live in one country and they are not covered by the above languages.
That is just one country that is not covered by the above languages.

Good post about PvP and insurance, and how armor fits into it, and its also rather good to see a post with some empathy to problems that can occur from the limitations of technologies over distance.
I have skilled up to try be competitive in PvP, but when someone has moved out of your crosshairs half a second, to several seconds, before you shoot, it can be challenging

Nice work Fifth!

Always been declared Zen? Sounds they have some plans i not aware of? Links please since it always has been declared... The Internet should be full then with these declarations and possible replies...

You know I wouldn't say it if it weren't true Tesla

AW FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS V.2.4, REV. MAR 1, 2007
=====================================================================

1. IS THIS FAQ HELPFUL?
The questions below were selected from player's requests we receive most often. If you haven't found the question or the answer of your particular interest please try to search the forum. If no topics found covering your subject please feel free to post more questions about AW software, virtual environment, features and gameplay to corresponding sections of the forum. We will do our best to keep this FAQ most recently updated. Please note that bug and abuse reports should first be checked on being already reported on forum and if not found should go to support@afterworld.ru.

2. WHAT IS AW?
AW stands for AfterWorld, MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) with a 3D post-apocalyptic-style world and elements of FPS (First-Person Shooter) and RPG (Role-Playing Game) merged together to offer a unique gameplay. On release it is planned to implement an RCE (Real Cash Economy) in AW.








11. WHAT IS PROHIBITED IN AW?
Believe us, we try to avoid this word here, we actually hate it. But this is a nature of human society that one should to prohibit some things in order for society to develop and prosper. So there are rules. But these rules are very simple and very short: MAKE THIS WORLD A PARADISE FOR YOURSELF WHILE NOT MAKING IT A MESS FOR THE OTHERS. Of course this is too general but this is it. We as an AW Government will be watching what is going on and what community is doing to make this world a better place. So we will support any civil initiatives aimed at improving the rules. Finally, we will adopt so called "Rules of Conduct", "Civil Code" and "Criminal Code" which in many ways will be similar to those of RL, but also will be tailored to the needs of AW community. Those who will follow the Codes will be treated with Good Reputation. Those who will choose to take an opposite side will have good chances to "enjoy" AW Jail and Bad Reputation credits in ID. Meanwhile, before these light (or dark) ages has come, just try to be friendly to others, helping noobs to make a good start and avoid strong lexicon while in chat.

12. I HAVE BEEN ASSAULTED, HARASSED, SCAMMED BY ANOTHER PERSON IN AW. WHICH ACTIONS WILL BE TAKEN?

If you have no evidence or trying to defame other person please be informed that such action may itself become a subject of prosecution. Please take this matter very seriously and do not provide false, unchecked, or unconfirmed information. If your case will be qualified as abuse, a most strict legal action we could take regardless EULA is defined by the governing law of the territory where AW service is rendered which is currently the law of Russian Federation. Russian law is very much like UK law and in some cases is even more strict. In some cases of serious assaults, threats, defamation, harassment or illegal transactions you may seek criminal prosecution against the infringer. We will unconditionally support your choice of any appropriate social, administrative or legal action possible in your case, up to providing log files and other forms of digital materials as an evidence to the proper authorities if you choose to file a lawsuit against the infringer. As a minimal measure in less severe cases we will offer you the choice of in-game pursuit and prosecution of the infringer which will be done according AW Virtual Codes and Rules of Conduct by means of AWPD and AW Jail. Please indicate the preferred action in your case description and we will offer you all necessary solutions, contacts and materials you may require.
