Q- Will that karma system be introduced with the release of battle?
A-Seems kind of strange, how would they determine what's good or bad?
Q- Also, are our weapons are they going to be used with the game along with the rings?
A-No. They will not.
Q- I'm wondering about this clan business...
A-Be more specific, but most all details are still sketchy.
Q- Will we be able to Fight each other as in an arena-type thing or something?
A- There will be some form of PvP eventually, but no one really knows and the Devs aren't talking about very much.
The Gaia Battle System will probably be like a more violent version of Towns with lots of rather pretty looking attacks. I think the other rings will just be souped up and tricked out and modifed and reorganized versions of the starter rings.
