Mr. Owl How Rings does it take to get to the Center of a MMO

Well, by my calculations, there are
690 different hat/head items,
1024 different torso items,
605 different pants items,
576 different shoe items,
and 2196 different accessories.

So assuming that people were only to wear one of each,
There would be...
(690x1024x605x576x2196)
540,700,000,000,000 different possible looks.
And Gaia should have 8 rings of each and every one.

well that just blows my guess out of the water*throws his calculations up in the air and walks off*

Don't feel bad.

[Emyre]

Through big mathematical calculations you wouldn't understand.

I just picked a number that sounded good xp

[Dryson]

so did you think about taking in account of the crafted items so your numbers would have to be a give and take right... right

Well if Gaia was really to do that, you'd have to take into account also, that people don't just wear one of each category.
I'm wearing 5 items on my head alone.
Not to mention haircuts, skin tones, and eyes.

Ofcourse, I actually have to agree with Bronze.
Within the first year, atleast.

[Dryson]

ya to many numbers XD

If I remember right, Qixter said that it will be at first like 30-50 rings. In one year...maybe 150, Mew isn't included xd

If we can't get up to Johto and Hoenn soon at the least I will be sorely dissapointed.

stare thats pokemon, gaia would be flamed so badly it would have 3rd degree burns

stare I know this is pokemon. I guess in simple terms I simply mean I hope we can soon have more than just 150 rings. I'll speak plainly next time lest I be misinterpreted.

[Lucedes]

4-7 base classes in any mmo, multiplied by 8 rings, is between 32 and 56 rings.

If Gaia's aiming for the equivalent, then Qixter's 30-50 is the design team's correct goal.

Adding some miscellaneous powers and things, I think 50-80 is about right for the first six months or so. If it gets up to 100 within the year I'll be pleasantly surprised with the variety.

I mean, I assume there'll be certain sets and certain strategies, but I think sets will be less than the full 8, in order to discourage straight "classing". I'm guessing there'll be two-ring combos, as well as 5-6 ring strategy combinations, and players will eventually settle into grooves of one sort or another.
