FAQ
Q: When I login, the whole game is in russia and all NPCs are in russian language, regardless of what I do!
A: You most probably play on TLA and not on 2238, because 2238 is 100% done in english without any russian language support. You need to open up the config tool and type in the server data for 2238 in the "Net" tab. IP: 94.23.237.127 and Port: 2238.
Q: Is it going to be generally more Items to be crafted, like the APA, I already know what I can achieve through the profession.
A: No.
Q: I'm stuck in Vault Eight's 3rd floor right now, the elevator doesn't move / I'm stuck elsewhere in the game, what now?
A: It can happen sometimes. Just get out of the elevator, then get in again. Worst case scenario: contact one of the admins on IRC - if he's available, he'll get you out. If nobody answers on IRC, send PM, but do NOT start a new thread.
Q: Is it possible to give every starting character an awareness perk (or any other perk/feature in general)?
A: It is. But we want to keep the game as close to the originals as it gets.

A: Yes, the level cap is set to lvl 21 at the moment.

Q: I heard that there is lot of lag because we create several characters. So i will give u names of my characters that i do not use so u can delete them...

Q: Who are the devs? Whom should I send PM (emergency only, please!)?
