No level-up system for APB

December 17, 2009

We have more info today about the action MMO APB, thanks to the latest vodcast with game designers EJ Moreland and Jesse Knapp of Realtime Worlds. The biggest reveal: APB will not have a level-up system.

Knapp explains their character upgrade mechanic: “We don’t have any abstract statistics or skills or attributes in APB. Your character’s your character and you play with skill. However, you do have some items available in game that enable you to upgrade your weapons, vehicles and equipment as you play the game.”

Other details revealed about APB is the in-game economy. Ammo, apparently, is one of the things you will have to pya for in the game. You can build up your stash of it if you want, and in fact, they put in various places where you can replenish your stock. Moreland also notes that character customization will be available, even via a web browser outside of the game, although “it’ll probably be something you see trickle in, maybe a couple of releases in.”

Despite all these new info, they still did not set a release date for the game, though. Not to worry, we’ll let you know as soon as we pick up on it.
