With the PVP flagging system.  If I wanted to be a crafter and NEVER PVP can I go anywhere in the world and collect mats to craft?

Also how deep and involved is the Crafting system?

Pretty much and you can also sneak up behind a PvP flagged player that have 1hp and turn on PvP, kill him and then in the next second un flag for PvP.

That way you can be safe and he cant attack you later on.

So I can also sneak up behind that flagged PVPer as a crafter and take the mining location right behind him and totally not kill him too right?  



Also is there a way to pay right now to get into the Pre Alpha?  If so what is the package for that?

If you want to be a crafter and only a crafter the only way that can happen atm is if someone feeds you materials to use, you buy the mats, or you wander around while someone is fighting creatures near a resource node and steal the nodes from them while they're fighting. You pretty much have to be a fighter of some sort, whether that's a mage type, warrior type, archer, etc. There are very few places that you can gather materials that doesn't have creatures nearby. Much like everything else in the game, since it's Pre-alpha still, crafting is a work in progress still. You won't be able to go about and not worry about having to fight things as we could do in Ultima Online and be just a pure gatherer/crafter, sadly.

Yea I know there will be monsters all over.  I had friends in UO that would run around with me and protect me as I mined or did a little Lumberjacking though my Warrior was a Lumberjack so I didnt need to worry about that one as much.  I just dont want to focus solely on Fighting.  I want to be able to let me friends run around me  smashing shit as I am in the crafting zone.

Then you should be ok if you got friends willing to do that.
