FireFall - European Region

Will there be open world PvP?

For launch, the open world will be focused on creating a cooperative experience between players trying to save the world against the Melding. Our custom engine was designed for open world and large battles and we have plans in the future to expand this to open world PvP when possible.

How are the servers setup?

We don't use servers or shards. We use channels that get built up as demand increases. Each channel is really a mega persistent instance that holds a few hundred players at a time. When you enter the world of Firefall, you will be entering a specific channel of New Eden. New Eden is the large open-world environment where the last remnants of humanity are making their stand. There may be any number of different channels of New Eden going on depending on concurrent player levels. The goal is to have a single New Eden instance support hundreds of players. The number is still being fine-tuned as we determine what is too much and what is too little to create a fun environment.
Now, once you're in a New Eden channel, that doesn't mean you'll be locked into that channel. Even from the get-go, we'll try to put you into a New Eden channel where your friends and army mates are in, but should you need to change channels, you'll be able to do so.
