本次测试将会陆续开放多个服务器，但是服务器之间的数据并不互通。你可以在不同服务器分别建立角色，他们之间的数据无法相互继承。

分线

  当你真正进入游戏世界后，将有可能发现一起游玩的朋友并没有全都出现在身边，这是因为你们有可能处在了世界的不同位面——即分线中。你可以在地图中寻找传送塔装置，他除了进行远距离传送，还拥有切换位面的功能，你和朋友可以随时选择切换至同一位面进行探索和战斗。在玩家切换位面时，自建的建筑仍然会保留在原先的位面，当你传送回家的时候也会自动切换回家园所在的位面。当然，玩家可以通过搬迁功能将其重新放置在新的位面中，跟朋友们汇合，甚至一同成立求生小队，合居发展。

  当然，在阅读你的大地图时，也许会发现一些圈出的神秘地区，那是奇妙的特殊地带——可争夺区域，所有位面在其范围内都会重合，无论从哪个位面走入其中的玩家都相互可见，而从其中走出又会回到各自原先的位面。但这又是危险的地带，虽然蕴含海量珍稀资源，但除了强大的怪物外，更为危险的是，一旦进入区域，所有玩家都会强制进入混乱状态，这会让你随时面临其他人的袭击，原先安全的世界会被黑暗森林法则所笼罩。

 

混乱状态

  在正常状态下，游戏世界是禁止无序杀戮的，所有人也都处于正常状态，相互和平的共同对抗这危险的世界，但玩家可以主动选择转化为混乱状态（长按P键），并在混乱值自动消退前都将保持该状态。处于混乱状态的玩家将可以相互攻击甚至击杀对方，但无法去伤害处于正常状态的玩家。

  但在某些特殊情况下（比如拾取回响石，进入可争夺区域等），玩家会强制陷入混乱状态且混乱值不会自动消退，这也就意味着玩家将陷入到危险之中。

  当然，游戏中的某些NPC据点由于处于安全戒备中，是名副其实的安全区，即使混乱状态的玩家也无法在安全区内相互攻击。

  需要注意是，即使处于混乱状态下，同一队伍或求生小队的成员也并不能相互伤害。且当玩家刚刚进入游戏世界（低于10级前）是无法选择主动开启混乱状态的，只要避免接近强制混乱状态的情景，就不会有被其他玩家伤害的风险。

赛季制度

  每个服务器都会遵循赛季制度进行定时的重启，当然，重启不代表从头来过，虽然玩家背包中的大部分物品和模因等级会被清空，但是熟练的技巧想必会帮助你更好的度过最贫瘠的时期。同时，玩家身上那些最为珍贵的宝藏——枪械蓝图（及碎片）、时装外观、星之彩也会伴随着你开始新赛季的征途。

  后续我们也会逐渐开放更多种体验的赛季内容及不同模式的服务器，也欢迎玩家在游玩后对我们提出自己的建议，或许你的一些奇思妙想将会在不远的未来变成现实。

回响石

  在大世界中，神秘的古老者会在世界各地逡巡，祂并非实体生命，而是被异空间吞噬的生命残渣，当古老者在天空逡巡时，过于庞大的身体会时不时发生溢出崩解，一些残渣会坠落向地面，当其到达地表以后，就是回响石。因为带有被古老者吞噬的生命残渣，所以靠近后会听到低语或哀嚎，对正常人的心智会产生不可逆的伤害，但是可以被玩家暂时收容，并带回领地设施进行净化处理，剥离了有害的生命残渣后可以获取其中被糅杂进去的珍稀物品。

  尽管不会致命，但携带残响石对玩家这样的进化者来说仍然是极大的负担，且由于其中混乱的能量，玩家将会强制进入混乱状态，此时传送也被禁止，如何将回响石安全运回领地是你最大的挑战，而即使回到了领地，危险也远远没有解除……

Servers & Seasons

We will continue to release new servers on an ongoing basis during this test. Please note that data cannot be shared between servers. This means that you can create a new character on different servers, but you will not be able to transfer account data from one server to another.

 

World

   After stepping into the world of Once Human, you might find that you are unable to locate your friends. This is because you have been assigned to a different plane of existence by the system. These planes are called “Worlds”. Look out for the Teleportation Devices that can be found in-game; they can be used to travel vast distances in an instant, and to switch between Worlds within a given server whenever you want, so you can reconvene with in-game friends. All gear and items currently in your inventory will stay with you when you switch Worlds, but any buildings you have constructed will remain in the World you created them in. When teleporting back home, you will automatically return to the World in which you’ve established your Territory. You can, however, use the Move Territory function to pack up your buildings and relocate them to a new World, allowing you to play with your friends, join a Hive, or move into a shared Territory.

  When you’re reading your in-game map, keep an eye out for the special circled areas marked upon it. In these zones, which are known as Contest Areas, all the Worlds on the server converge, and suddenly, all players from across the server will become visible to each other. Contest Areas are packed full of rare and valuable resources, but they are also very dangerous. There are a number of large, tough monsters to contend with, but the more significant threat comes from other players. All players entering these zones will automatically enter a Chaos state, so watch your back when you’re exploring. In the Contest Area, all bets are off!

 

Chaos States

  When in a Normal state, players cannot attack each other. So long as everyone remains in a normal state, they can unite, and fight against the darkness together. However, players can choose to enter a Chaos state at any time (by holding down P), and will remain in that state until their Chaos stat falls to zero. Players who are in a Chaos state can inflict damage and even kill any other Chaos player they encounter, but their attacks are ineffective against players in a Normal state.

  In some circumstances (such as when carrying an Echo Stone, or after entering a Contest Area), players will be forced to enter a semi-permanent Chaos state, during which their Chaos stat will not decrease over time. During these times, players are at their most vulnerable to attack.

  There are, however, certain Safe Zones also scattered across the map. The defenses surrounding NPC strongholds prevent Chaos players from entering, or attacking.

  And remember, Chaos players cannot inflict damage on players who belong to the same Team or Hive. Additionally, new players who have not yet reached level 10 enjoy a Novice Protection Period, during which they cannot enter a Chaos state by choice, so as long as they stay clear of the triggers that force a Chaos state, they will be safe from PvP attacks.

 

The Season System

  Each server will implement a season system, and the game will be periodically reset. This doesn’t mean that players will have to restart the game completely from scratch. The reset will clear most of the items in your inventory, and reset your Memetic level, but the skills that you have already honed will stay with you, helping you to better navigate the new season’s early game. Additionally, players will be able to keep certain key items including gun Blueprints (and Blueprint Fragments), outfit skins, and Starchrom, giving them an additional leg up in the new season.

  We will continue to release new server-related content, as well as a choice of different server modes, on an ongoing basis. We welcome players to share their feedback and suggestions with the team. Share your ideas with us, and maybe they can become a reality!

 

Echo Stones

  The elusive Ancient Ones - remnants of life swallowed up by rift space - roam about freely in the game’s main map. An Ancient One’s physical form is a highly unstable thing, and occasionally, a small piece of their body will become separated from its main form and fall to the ground. This is an Echo Stone. An Echo Stone still retains traces of the Ancient One to which it once belonged. Get up close to an Echo Stone, and you’ll be able to hear a sinister whispering or wailing. These sounds are enough to cause irreversible damage to a normal human mind, but you - a Meta-Human - are able to withstand the onslaught, and can secure the Echo Stone inside your Cradle. Take it back to your Territory and process it to remove the Ancient One’s dangerous traces, and extract the highly valuable items contained within.

  However, it’s still a great burden, even for you. When carrying an Echo Stone in your inventory, you will be forced to enter a Chaos state, making you vulnerable to attack by other players. You will also be unable to fast travel. Under these circumstances, finding a way to safely transport the Echo Stone Territory can be a real challenge. And even if you make it home in one piece, the danger is still far from over...
