Looking at the current categories I think they mostly work well but you do need right at the top you need The Basics.
Then you can move on to the other categories.
General Design:
How would you describe the game? - Similar answer to the current "I read somewhere this was an RTS, RPG, kingdom management... thing. What does that look like?" which I feel should be removed as it is a little unclear as a question.
What are some of the standout features of Chronicles of Elyria? - This can then link to the other parts of the FAQ, that way people get an idea of the features in a logical order. Currently when you reas the FAQ one of the first things you learn about is that people might steal your post and that seems incredibly out of order and confusing.
Classes and Skills also go well in this category.
I think Families and Guilds followed by Death and Dying work well. However, I think in the death section you need an update:
- So, there's dying, Dying and then there's DYING? - I think you need to include the terms people use everywhere, incpacitation and spirit walking perhaps a clearer term for 'coup de graced' so it is easy for people to understand chatter about these features.
PvP and other Unsavoury Activities reads very negitvely. One of my main issues currently is how all PvP is being presented as negative yet you seem to be working in some great PvP for those that want to stay on the right side of the law. You mention arenas, you have bounty hunters, perhaps even tax collectors and certainly guards, all who are engaging in positive PvP. Sell that!
Endgame Content works well as a section.
In the next few sections Influence / Influence Points, Business/Planning, and Game / Engine you move to forward slashes rather than the word 'and' in the titles, the spacing of which is not consistent either. This does not look as nice and it is not really an either or situation. These should all say 'and'.
I think that is my only current beef!
