Xsyon - Better than Haven&hearth, and minecraft

I know people like H&H and minecraft but have you seen the new proper sandbox MMO http://www.xsyon.com/

Few of the guys from my darkfall clan nomads are playing. its still beta really but its a fun sandbox, its alot like H&H how you build villages only better and you can terraform slightly like minecraft only better.

If your interested I would watch this video review for pros/cons of the game

Sounds really really cool. I'm one of those post-apocalypse/survival fans, and this just sounds awesome.

BUT : $40 to buy AND a $15.00 monthly fee?

Hmm, game mechanics sounds a bit like Roma Victor.

So what you are saying is that it is a combination of two terrible, shitty games that are designed for toddlers? Sounds awesome bro.

Nevermind, I watched the video and it looked decent...

But..

"Not a PVP centric game"

Its a shame, because if this game had Mount and Blade style combat it would be supreme

It's very tedious.
And it's a little.... empty.
Lacking in guidance/tutorial too.
Walked around and played with everything for an hour before I figured what everything does.

Got the game just for curiousity,

Also in the public forum one of the devs was suggestive towards an MnB style combat system added in later.

This game with MnB style combat would completely dominate.
