- Huxley Preview -
The
two persistent cities in Huxley can support up to 5,000 players at once on
PC (360 is still up in the air), so it shouldn't be too hard to run into
anyone. And no, you won't be able to pop into a city and just start killing
everyone. There isn't any player vs. player (PvP) combat inside of the
cities, though we are told there might be some player vs. enemy (PvE) events
that deal with the game's story. The focus of the cities, however, will be
everything that happens outside of combat. There you can get quests,
purchase items, talk and socialize with other players and trade.
