It seems that even with guides, this section is still unavoidable... *Shrug*
Here is the collection area of common questions that people usually asked!

Well, I have to collect up some Q & A from all topics here, but I don't really have a lot of time at this point now... I will update the Q & A part from time to time.

This is also where you can ask any "beginner" questions as well, since the answer will be response and update to this Q & A on this post here!

Sincerely, Pan2007 (December 12th, 2007)

Starting The Game

Q. Do you have to buy the game from the store like GameStop or EB Games or do you download the game onto your computer from online? Can you send me the website where you download the game if you do download it from online?
A. Since Dynasty Warriors Online is only available to Japan and in Asia regions (Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) as of December 2007 (and probably even a year later). Of course, you cannot get this game from EB Games or any Western-regions stores yet. However, you can download and play it without any problem as long as you have Japanese fonts to display with (unless you are using Windows Vista, which already included all languages for you). You can download the game... by reading this guide here! But, please check Minimum Requirement first before you even go through those steps or else you will just regret for downloading the game client for so long, but unable to play it!

Q. How much does it cost monthly? Or is it free?
A. After the change from Dynasty Warriors BB to Dynasty Warriors Online on November 28th, 2007. This game is now free-to-play for battles with some additional stuffs that required to use real cash to get some items via "Musou Coins." (Think those stuffs as "Cash Shop" items then...)

Q. Is this game now free to play, and allows you to battle etc? I believe before you were allowed to walk around town or something, but not battle without paying money.
A. Yes! You can play battles for free now! Read the above Q & A!

The Game Features

Q. How is the character customization? Are there so many different combinations that everyone has a distinguished look?
A. It is much more advance... So advance beyond your imagination! Even though it may not like The Sims 2 in-term of customize faces and such... However, it is much more better on character customization than the DW console versions.

Weapons

Q. What are the weapons that you can use in the game? Can you use all the ones from Dw and the new weapons exclusive to DW Online?
A. The weapon that I listed here... and in my download able guide here contain the weapon list that available in DWO.

Gameplays

Q. How is the gameplay? Are the controls easy or difficult?
A. It is really depends on how well you understand the game actually. Even though you played DW in console versions so often; however, that does not means that you will do well in DWO. Since the gameplay and the system in DWO have some differences, such as weapon slots, changable armors, constant troop spawns, etc. You have to practice to do well in DWO.

Q. Are any of the characters from DW on PS2 in DW Online?
A. Of course! How this game can be a part of DW if it does not contain DW characters from console version in first place! However, one warning though... If you approach them as enemies, DO NOT try to kill them. As they are WAY STRONGER than in console version and can kill you pretty quickly! In this game, you are just represent as a part of soldiers... that is... Unless you know the way how to kill him/her or you have your buddies around that area and try to gang mob to kill him/her.

Languages Barrier?

Q. Do you have to know japenese or chinese to be able to play the game or is it harder to play the game if you dont know japenese or chinese?
A. If you understand Japanese/Chinese, that's the plus. You will be able to understand game more if you understand those two languages. However, even I know only TINY bits of those languages, I survived! I got Japanese/Chinese/Taiwanese buddies in game too! If you don't know at all, you still can survive, but you have to depend on guides and stick with English-speaker players. There are couple here, so don't worry though!

Q. When speaking to other online people can you speak to them in english?
A. If I cannot type English in DWBB/DWO, I probably quit this game right on my 3rd day of the gameplay! I am still need English to type romanji for Japanese too!

Q. Is there a big English community? Or is it mostly Asian players?
A. Thanks to onRPG forum... it makes Engilsh community getting bigger in DWO. That forum is the forum for online gamers who seek for an online game to stick with, so that's make us no surprise why there are more people from onRPG than this forum playing this game at this point.

Q. Is the game translated into English? Or is it Chinese?
A. This game already translated from Japanese into Chinese and Taiwanese. However, there is NO ENGLISH VERSION available at this time! However, there is the plan that the English version will come out... (According from US KOEI News (April 2006), English DWBB Trailer (May 2006), and GAMECITY/JP KOEI News (October 2007)), However, how long it will take to make the English one? Nobody knows, not even I know this thing...
