Unless they let people do servers with different rulesets I don't think this one will succeed.

Actually I think the heterogeneous server structure is one of the main reasons this kind of game tends to fail.

They are boasting about having "classes" from knight to a mere farmer. Then they tell you the knight can barely craft any food/water so they have to get some from the people (And npcs too?) that play as farmers or mug/kill them.

Guess what will most of the people do?

That's why I'm saying it needs servers with different rulesets. These games tend to attract a large amount of dicks.

The combat looks like crap.  They use stances.  I hope this is not the way Melee game is being developed.

The combat and movement animations look terrible. The idea of the game is nice.

dont buy  :P
1. bug at start the game, it freezes after the logo. if you are lucky enough go to step 2.
2. bug a connection to the server, after no successful attempt to connect the game requires a reboot. Returning to step number 1.
3. then u cnnect to the server there is a chance spawn as "camera" and not as player.
4. If you were able to spawn as player game can crashed: when collecting resourses, at loot, etc.
5. If you successfully managed to avoid all the bugs and crashes, then after some time server crashed itself and remove all the progress  :lol:

Oh, and I'm not talking about the broken AI and unbalanced economy  :P

haven't been following this closely, just dropping this in here: for an indie multiplayer game it's very very VERY difficult to scale servers properly in an initial release in terms of server costs. initially you have a huge peak, and then it drops within a few days. if you scale servers for the initial peak, you end up with a  lot of unused servers that are probably unaffordable. if you scale more economically you will get the current situation. if you use cloud servers to scale dynamically you pay a lot more for the cloud, because cloud is a lot more expensive than dedicated servers.

it's a tricky thing to balance and get right, and you only get one shot. just saying that, also something to keep in mind for other games you might play at some point *cough* :wink:

judge servers after a week, not day one
