During a siege, you hinted at multiple summoners contibuting to a single, large siege summon/minion. Question: Will there be other devoted mecanics like that during sieges for other classes? ie. Mages creating larger fire storms, bards providing larger scale support effects, tanks making AOE damage/cc resists, etc...?

@Rumbleforge I believe they already answered this in a previous Q&A, with the answer being ''yes, definitely''. Perhaps you can use your question slot for another burning question you have, it would be a shame if it went to waste! ^^

I would like to add to that question: If the nighttime were to actually be so dark that a torch would be required for decent vision, how would that tie in with the combat system? Would two-handed weapons and shields be restricted while holding a torch, meaning you'd have to choose between vision and optimal combat abilities?

Планируется ли русификация игры?  Do you plan Russification of the game?

(I think this is asking if a Russian Localization is planned.)

I am wondering what type of items will be available from the beginning out of necessity like torches for example.

Say I later acquire the recipe to craft torches.  Even further down the road I have a freehold that has an inn.  Would it be profitable/worthwhile for me to sell torches in my inn to fellow players? Or just beer (who am I kidding, of course I will be selling beer)?
