I don't think that it is essential to the game, far from it, but I am interested to know whether there will be support for multiplayer in ARX?

I've read many times that there will be a multiplayer mode.
However, I'm almost certain it won't be a coop mode.
They were talking about an original player vs player mode that has never been done before (without more details because they don't want someone steals their idea).

Of course it will (althought everything is not yet define) ! as you can read on the official site :
"Death Match and RPG are usually two mismatched concepts. Meaning that, adventuring, dialogues, puzzle -solving are time -consuming elements.
So we came up with an idea that will bring a totally new flavour to the Online death match."
A special mode in which you should get on one hand the 'heroes', the adventurers ("good" part) and on the other hand the dungeon keeper !
it's not yet decide whether or not a coop mode is on schedule : "only if it's bring something"

What's the point of deathmatch going out with a crpg? Aren't these different audiences? Hope if there is multiplayer in ARX that it's like two to four player co-op.
As for being the dungeon keeper, well, one can already play Dungeon Keeper I & II, or wait for Neverwinter Nights.

Or just play AD&D*. ;)
(*or the fantasy rpg of your choice)

If there's a multiplayer... that means they might have to add an editor to the mix right?
Oh please... oh please add an editor Arx Team!
/me sits back & prays for an editor to be included with Arx.

sorry to disappoint you but I think I read somewhere that they're not intended to ! <IMG SRC="nono.gif" border="0"> and that their own editor is too complex for 'non professional people'
(good point: they're thinking about ! ;) )
What about PLAYING 2 parallel plot? one on each side at the same time? it wouldn't be Roleplaying?

GameKult: What will be the available modes of game: Cooperative, Deathmatch or even Capture The Flag like Tim Cain would like to include in Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura ?
Raphaël Colantonio: Without dealing with details, I can tell you that the multiplayer mode is very different from the singleplayer. Indeed, it's a bit particular game mode, that will allow coop/deathmatch.
