No spoilers though. Feel free to ask questions though and if I can clear things up, I will

Fate Online Stuff...

Planes of existence are like whole different worlds.

The Abyss has multiple Planes, the High Heavens has multiple Planes.

The gods have Planes under their control (No, not one plane per god/goddess)

Chaos, during the original Chaos War, captured multiple planes of existence from the High Heavens and the Abyss

The Mortal Plane= Ithea (Where the main setting of our story is)

They are incredibly difficult to get too, and unless you have a quest there, Immortals/Mortals usually don't cross over.

Experience grade is Character Level multiplied by 1,000 divided by 2=How much experience you need to get to the next level.

Yes, experience from fighting has been drastically decreased to reflect the change

In the next story arc, Ava and Ailis will be woven into the story, no I am not telling you anything more than that. So for those that love to hate them, or hate to love them, or those that think Jacob is just a whiny bitch that needs to move on, be warned.

REAL WORLD INFO....

As far as the 'Real World' goes, the geopolitical (World State) climate is unstable at best. The west coast of North America is gone and uninhabitable, parts of Europe, half of Africa and all the middle east, parts of the East Asia continent from the Indian Ocean up to the Arctic Ocean, all are uninhabitable due to World War III

The former Russian Federation was hit hardest after their initial invasion of almost every former neighbor, the counter-attack left almost every single major populations center devastated

South America outside the area controlled by Brazil, has turned into an ongoing war zone between various warlords and gangs. Central America has surprisingly remained peacefull and intact overall.

Resources are running out, airable land for making crops is becoming scarce, Overcrowding of cities is commonplace

Is the world as they know it going to end...I honestly have not decided yet. Are people making contingency plans in case it gets worse, YES!!!
