The Dawn FAQ: S&D

http://www.glitchless.com/dawnfaq.html - even though it's cancelled and would never have worked anyway - half visionary hackmem for a genre, half the random keyboard-stabs of criminally inept muppets.

Search:
Perma-death (it's the ONLY way to death with PK issues), the world starting completely uncivilised and people having to BUILD cities, the brilliant question about gods, NPC/monster races being actually able to be driven out an area/go extinct if sufficiently hunted, the whole awesome "building a frontier town" that all of the above would create, as players team out and gradually drive the mobs out of new towns and trade routes.

"What's the deal with archery and range weapons?
We have developed a targeting system that will completely revolutionize archery, ranged weapons, target acquisition, etc. No more clicking on monsters only to continually target corpses. Archery will be comparable to sniping in FPS's but without the effects of latency because of our excellent client side prediction. (For you techies, eliminating the effects of latency is possible because there won’t be ‘rocket launcher’ type weapons where you are required to lead your target. Our latency elimination is NOT an empty promise.)"

Oh, you muppets, you muppets.
