opened them, the inventory was gone. This was epic!
“Guys! Guys!” I exclaimed. “Just look at the icon and then close your eyes for a second!”
I could hear everyone exclaim when it worked. This was definitely an improvement. The freedom to access your inventory in the middle of doing something else and not having to move your hands led me to believe that you could possibly do the same with items. Focus on the item till it was illuminated and then click your eyes to activate it. There were still lots to be tested here, but I could see all the different possibilities opening before me.
Now to make the group. First I looked at the “+” sign again until it was illuminated and blinked my eyes quickly. Nothing happened. Good to know. It required a premeditated act, in this case closing the eyes for longer than just a blink. I still had the “+” sign illuminated so I “clicked” my eyes close on the icon and a window enlarged, empty at this time. I then looked over at Dan and focused only on Dan. This put a highlight around Dan. I was going to take it that this meant I had selected Dan. To test my theory, I ran my eyes over Wayne and Jason but did not focus on them. My target remained Dan. This was good and bad. If I needed to change mobs in the middle of a fight I would have to focus away from the one I was attacking. That could spell death in the middle of the fight. Oh well, another thing to figure out later. For now, I wanted to get this party formed.
While still illuminating Dan, I whispered “invite.”
“Cool! A box just popped up in front of me that said ‘Alex has invited you to join a group. Do you accept?’ Under that line is a smaller box with the word ‘Yes’ and ‘No.’ I’m going to do the verbal confirmation here to test that. Yes,” he said.
I now had TheClaw as one of my group members. While I couldn’t tell what level Dan was by looking at him, as there was no indicator above his name as to what his level was, I could now see as much in my group box. He was, as you can imagine, level 1. I tried to figure out some way to use just visual cues to invite Jason to the group, but in the end I still had to say the word ‘invite.” Jason accepted using only the eye clicking method. Wayne tapped accept with his finger to see if that worked, and it did.
CHAPTER 8
Now that the group was formed it was time to look at our individual stats. In the top left portion of the screen, just above the group box, was a small icon with a silhouette of an upper body. I focused on this icon and blinked. A new window was in front of me that showed my character in the middle, wearing only a tunic, and a number of open slots for gear and jewelry. On the right side was my individual statistics. Each character would be seeing the same thing. I studied my character and saw the following stats:
Racial Bonus: Half-Elf Vision: Half-Elf can see clearly in near darkness. Half-Elf cannot see in total darkness.
Class Bonus: Rogue has innate ability to perform Critical Strike from level 1.
I looked again to make sure I was seeing this right. And there it was, according to my character, my Chance was at 50 and not the 5 I thought I had started with. I didn’t understand why this was and thought it could have to do with the errors I received as I logged in. I didn’t mention this to the other team mates as I wanted to see if the next time I logged in this fixed itself. If not, I would need to report my findings to the Beta team.
Instead I focused on my other statistics. It appeared that each point of Strength gave you 10 attack. And each point of Constitution gave you 100 hps. This made sense in the overall scheme of things.
“Ok. I have 60 attack and 600 hit points and a movement speed of 10. I don’t have any mana for obvious reasons, and all of my resistances are at 0. I have a racial-bonus of Half-Elf vision which means I can see in near dark, but not absolute dark. And I get the class bonus of being able
