Question: Will this game work with Windows Vista?
Answer:Yes, we are currently testing the game on computers with both Vista and XP.
Will there be more weapons besides those 4?
The four classifactions of weapons will be the only 4 available. Though there will be a variety of weapons to choose from. They all vary, and can look very differnt. For example, under tha Staff Martial Art, you are able to equip nunchucks.
What are the advantages or each faction in terms of pvp/pve ?
There are no advantages specific to any faction. The things that are faction specific are armor sets, and capital cities so far as I can tell. Each faction is equal, and its left up to player skill to change that.
Will there be Faction-based modes of transportation or transformations or movers?
Currently there is a "Super Speed" option that players will get. This will make travelling much easier.
Is it possible to PK players from your own faction?
No, you cannot attack a member of the same faction as you.
Do Dragon Sky have Bosses ?
Yes, there are bosses in DragonSky.
You can really change Faction ?
Yes, you can really change factions. We still have to find out all of the details behind this, but it is a feature of the game. We do know that this is only offered for a limited amount of times per character.
Do story quests are important in this game? How story quests can help us in game?
The story quests help you get involved and interact with your surroundings in DragonSky. They also help your character grow and become a stronger fighter.
Whats the control interface like in this game? Point-and-click movement, with hotkeys? or is it WASD (or <,A,O,E ) movement with click functions? or some other sort of variation?
There is WASD character movement, as well as point-and-click. There are hot bars where skills and actions can be assigned to specific buttons on the keyboard. For further help you with game controls visit here: http://dragonsky.aeriagames.com/overview/controls

Are there instanced dungeons in this game or everything is on a shared map ?
There are many instanced dungeons in the game, that allow for both solo and group play. There are also raid bosses, and other forms of awesomeness that allow for a really fun martial arts experience.
Is this game pretty much a grindfest type like some of the past MMORPG?
The leveling system in DragonSky is very different than that found in Shaiya. There are Levels gained through experience, and there are also Zen levels gained through meditation. More on this can be found in the game guide.
Are there a lot of quests?
There are tons of quests, the main towns are filled with them. There are traditional quests to hunt down certain people or collect certain items. And there is the living questline which allows you to become a higher ranked fighter by accomplishing certains tasks.
Durability, will equipment need repair from time to time?
Yes, items will need to be repaired from time to time.
How much room is in backpack and storage?
Each item takes up one slot. Items that can be stacked, such as crafting materials and gathered crops and ore, etc... can be stacked into one slot. Each character has an inventory that consists of 3 pages of 20 slots each page. There are also player-specific warehouses which consist of 3 pages with 20 slots per page.
Will there be anything like Game Guard in this game?

We are all looking forward to the days when our computer screens will be as thin as a piece of paper, and it would appear that Samsung’s new ultra-thin flexible AMOLED screen is about ready to herald in that era.
Sure, this 6.5 inch flexible OLED that you see here is just a prototype, but you can at least see how flexible it is. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could spindle it. That is, roll it up like a kid who plays “telescope” with an ordinary piece of paper.
Samsung Mobile Display (SMD) show a new 6.5 inch flexible AMOLED Prototype. SMD show this newest flexible AMOLED at the SID 2009 in San Antonio.
Samsung Mobile Display say that this prototype is more flexible than any previous model before.
Also SMD says that the new processes do not require low-temperatures to produce the display and productions costs are now lower than other competitive products. The new process is simpler and improves efficiencies necessary for mass production.
SMD sees many application for that flexible AMOLED (newspaper,epaper, e-passport, military maps, newspaper and many more. The reponse time is more than 1000 times faster as a LCD Panel.
After the break the got more information about this amazing large flexible AMOLED.
New this year at SID 2009 will be seven sessions dedicated exclusively to various aspects of flexible display technology and developments that will create a host of new business and revenue opportunities across not only consumer-electronics markets, but also military and industrial applications. Papers from the Flexible Display Center, Kent Displays, Polymer Vision, Prime View, Universal Display Corp., Samsung, Sharp and Sony along with several key universities like the University of Illinois will highlight work underway at every level of the flexible display food chain.
Let us all sit back and dream of classrooms of the future, where the teacher hands out a test on very flexible AMOLED paper. I would imagine that after the students were finished, he or she could stack them in a pile, put them in a machine, and they would have their grades in seconds.

Dragon Sky Closed Beta Testing is already started and as part of the effort by Aeria's Dragon Sky Game Masters, they put up a Q&A thread to provide everyone with a quick reference for some simple questions of the players may have about anything surrounding DragonSky and its release under Aeria Games. And also to give all the players an easy way to get their questions about DragonSky answered in a way that everyone can benefit. This is the First part of the Dragon Sky Q & A for the benefits of those who like to test out this game like all of my Filipino peers and gamer like me and those some who are too lazy to visit the Dragon Sky forum (just kiddin.)
Q&A courtesy of our Aeria's DragonSky GM Vert.
What is DragonSky?
DragonSky is an MMORPG set in Ancient China. Players must choose between the two opposing factions. The game features a Martial Arts combat system that evolves your gameplay as your character progresses throughout the game.
When will the game be released? / When can I play?
The tentative schedule is as follows:
Alpha: Currently ongoing
Closed Beta: Mid May
Open Beta: Late May
Release of Item Mall: Early June
This schedule is subject to change at any time. Players can gain access to our Beta Testing through our sign-up page which will be posted up when we get to that point. Access to our Closed Beta will be limited to Invitation Only. There will be one character wipe after Closed Beta, but not after our Open Beta. We are aiming for a full launch very soon, so please keep an eye on our forums and website for the newest updates.
Can you Duel other players in the game?
Yes, there will be dueling in the game. There is a whole dueling system in the game which effects your honor in the game. Winning a lot of duels can lead to winning some rare items and weapons.
What is PvP like in DragonSky?
There is the Dueling System explained above. And there are also organized Guild Vs Guild battles in game as well as Faction Vs Faction battles. There is also a Kill Order System in the game, which allows player to place bounties on other players. A player can claim the prize associated with the Kill Order once it has been carried out.
What are the character classes?
There are no classes, but there are different playstyle options based on the martial arts chosen.
Will the classes be restricted to a gender ?
No, classes are not restricted by gender. You might want to continue reading to see how the class system is replaced with other, similar systems.
Names and what types of weapons they use?
The different types of weapons include fist weapons, polearms, pendulums (gigantic maces), and swords. ( All dual weilds possible )
Are there different nations and different classes?
The 'nations' are based on faction. The two factions are the Dragon and the Tiger (Soul of the Dragon and Heart of the Tiger). The martial arts and weapon types are not limited by faction.
Are skills based on weapons only or class to?
Skills are based off of the martial arts chosen and method. The martial arts available generally depend on the weapon type. Skills are split into attack, defense, recovery, and common varieties.
Do you put points into skills while u lvl or do u lvl up skills by using them?
Dragon Sky has two different character development points. Experience points and skill points. Experience points help you level and increase your basic stats. Skill points help increase your proficiency in your skills. To learn most skills you must spend your skill points and a certain amount of money at a training NPC. Some advanced skills may require you to find the martial arts book first.
What are the strength and weaknesses of each class or pros and cons?
There are no classes, so I'll break it down into the weapon types.
Fists - very fast, close range weapons.
Polearms - fairly slow, medium range weapons. Polearms can hit multiple enemies in a single swing.
Maces - the slowest, hardest hitting weapons. Generally have lower damage per second due to interruption techniques. Can knock down/back and hit multiple enemies.
Swords - a balanced weapon that has moderate range, damage per second, and hit amounts.
How does the stat system work?
Attack, defense, hit, dodge, crit, and mind are the stats we've found so far. I do not know yet just how these are modified through the leveling system. I do know there are items that can modify the stats though.
Is there an advantage to be using dual weapons instead of single weapons? For example dual swords and single sword. What are some Pros and Cons?
There are basically 4 different types of weapons. Each with their own set of styles. For example: If you wish to use swords, you will have to study sword combat. Among the 5 different sword styles, 3 utilize combat with one sword, and 2 styles utilize combat with 2 swords. Each style of combat also has it's own stages of development, getting stronger and stronger as you improve (also more intense and elaborate animations). You can be well developed in fighting styles with 1 sword while really lacking in training with dual swords, and vice-versa.
I can't really go into detail as there are an infinite number of ways to go about weapon training and martial arts training with each character. But there are 5 fighting styles unique to each of the 4 different weapons. And each style has it's own stages of development. And each style carries it's own pros and cons.
How is the "class" balance in DragonSky?
Class balance is worked out in sort of a rock-paper-scissors way. Each weapon has a counter weapon which is very effective against it in combat. And at the same time, that same weapon has a weakness to another weapon.
Choosing a class at the character creation screen determines the fighting styles you have available at the beginning of the game. You can learn multiple styles while leveling up, or try to master one. You can be a jack of all trades, but a jack of all trades is a master of none.
