Edited version from Alicia-Online-Group FAQ's
Q: How do i register?
A: You can register Here
Q: How do i name my character and/or horse?
A:you need to register and click on "Profile" to name your character and click on "My Horse" to name your horse.
Q: Can i keep my horse? I love it!
A: You can keep your horse. However, it is a starter horse and cannot keep a random horse.
Q: So IF AO gets remade, will we get ALL our horses back?
A: if you played the game quite often this February, then there is a significant chance that one of your horses can be recovered
Q: you said you know how the game can be recreated but you can't do it right? so if I would have a friend who would be willing to do it.
A: The developers can work on the game themselves. Just the amount of work is quite huge. Implementation of the fully functional multiplayer server with races, all the modes etc would take like about 6 months of full time work for a professional developer. Therefore co-developers would really make a difference.
Q: Do we need our old account to login?
A: you don't need your former Alicia login and password anymore.We have a partial database of characters and their horses, but this has nothing to do with their corresponding logins and passwords. If you got lucky and your horse got into our database, then you will be able to completely recreate it (name, color, age, all the physical parameters and skills).
Q: When will the game be complete?
A: It is estimated to be Sometime this year but there is no official date.
Q: When will the next patch come?
A: The game is usually updated on Sundays.
Q: How can i help?
A: ...for now only the programming skills are of the interest. Here is one of the necessary sub-tasks that should be accomplished:
Establish tcp connection between 2 computers, both behind NAT, not using any 3rd party software, servers or services (no hamachi, no vpn etc), should work fast, raw c/c++ source code.
You may just show this to your friends, so that they can immediately decide if it fits their skills/interests.
Q: Will it be Free?
A: We will do our best to make the game available for free, as it has been originally in Feb, 2014 just before it got closed. We do not want any money to be involved in the process, because we do not own any rights on the content. We just want to recreate some server functionality that already existed, as if it just hasn't been shut down.
Q: Is this Alicia version 2.0?
A: Nope. This is Alicia 1.0 and Mlocale has no intention in making 2.0. However, He has stated that he might be able to implement some features of 2.0 into 1.0 like the town for example.
Q: How will the breeding system work?
A: (Full post from Mlocale From Here)
Breeding system.
The first thing you should know is that the original breeding system has been implemented on the server side, so we had no access to it and we don't know exactly which theories it was based on. Therefore we are going to create the breeding system ourselves. Today there is no complete genetics theory that can explain all the variations of the equine coat colors, however many important genes have already been identified. For example, you may check out the basics linkit proposes the dependency between 21 coat colors and 7 genes. There are also other theories, which take into account larger number of genes and dependencies between them. We should also consider genes, that affect mane, tail and physical characteristics of the horse.
We would like to create a realistic breeding system based on modern research in horse genetics. Each individual horse will have its genotype defined. Maybe we will even implement a new game option like "perform DNA analysis for your horse", so that you may have access to this information. The breeding will be performed according to genetics laws (meaning, for example, that the probability of a specific foal coat color will be calculated realistically).
There are some limitations, that should be considered:
1) The number of available horse colors, manes and tails in the game is limited (but we may consider adding some more colors if it is necessary to represent the variability of genetics).
2) The number of ancestor horses in the game is limited. Basically a new player gets just one horse, so those basic ancestor horses should represent the whole gene pool.
3) There might be a correlation between different genes (genes, related to horse coat, mane, tail, physical characteristics etc.)
4) Currently there are 22 coat colors, 8 mane and 6 tail types available (see the picture)
This is a very interesting and challenging task for all of us. If you have extensive knowledge in biology and genetics (especially horse genetics), please contact the page admins - your help might be very important. This topic will be discussed in details at our forum (when it opens), but for now we would like to talk about it in general. If you have some interesting idea for the breeding system - feel free to share it~
