Player Interaction

Players interact with each other through means of a chat window, and, once they have progressed beyond a certain point in the game, are capable of trading items with each other, or engaging in player versus player combat. Also, there is a forum linked to the game, which is used for general game diuscussion as well as establishing of buisness deals and battles.

Level System

Characters level up in two different ways. The first is the basic level, which most actions, including combat, mining, and cooking, give you experience points for. When the necessary amount of expeience points have been earned, the players level advances, and they are given five stat points which they can use to advance their combat capabilities. In adition to the basic level, each "tradeskill" has its own quota of experience points, which, when filled, raises the level of that tradeskill, causing the character to become more capable in the area of that skill. Both basic levels and tradeskill levels require more experience to increase as the levels are raised.

Energy

Most actions undertaken in Seeds of Time Online require the use of energy, which recharges over time.
