What will the online part be like?

So, I've read a little bit about the game and know that basically the first 20 lvls will be a single player game. How much has been mentioned about the Online lvls when it actually becomes a MMOPRG?

1.Will it be PVP? How will this be regulated?

2. Will the Online world looks as good and as the Single player? (Are the screens showing us just single player stuff?)

Any links or info would be appreciated. I am thinking about getting the game but I don't won't to find out that the single player part kicks butt and then it becomes something different in the online version.

    First of all, the first 20 levels are not a single player game. They are instead a MMORPG section with a single player story and quest line with optional grouping. These levels are A.) considered the game's tutorial B.) Skippable in the future. Note: you do not choose your final class untill the end of these 20

    1.) PvP primarily revolves around the sieging and defense of player built cities. On a normal server, this and other forms of PvP are limited to specific zones, except of course in cases where players make themselves deliberately open to attack.

    2.) Plenty of screens are from both portions of the game. There is no reason for one or the other to be significantly better or worse.

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

    Cool

    Appreciate the info! I just need to decide if I want to try it on console or PC now. Xbox 360 is becoming a tempting buy.

    As I understand the 360 version of AoC will be released almost a year after the pc release.

    Thank you for clearing that up about the initial levels/single-player concern.  I had been a bit confused on that area myself, even more so when I was trying to envision how they would do (IF they ever decide to) go down the route of a trial or free demonstration period.  I was envisioning something more singular in the beginning and therefore possibly confusing to new players who may not know it's multi-player later on, or not like playing alone (in a MMO)

    How you describe it, however, makes more sense in that situation.  Thanks again.
