Grandfathering old users.
We are the people who fell in love with this game and who tell others about it. Giving you players who have money.

Suggestion; The users that were here before this game became subscription based should be switched to a game account for free to play.
I played this game before it was subscription based, I absolutely love this game. But not everyone including me can put out thirty dollars for a game. Yeah, we could sit there and save very slowly to get those thirty dollars, but what if some users don't have a lot of time to put effort into the game. I was able to play for a while non-stop, but things got crazy with the family and things happen. People lose their play time. Eventually I was able to have the free spare time to play the games I wanted and relax in a virtual world away from my troubles. Many of the old users most likely have told plenty of people to play this game. How can players tell other users to play the game when they have to pay thirty bucks they might not have just to see if the game is worth playing for them. When I played I wanted so badly to get those thirty dollars; at the time when it was full premium, to be able to increase the size of the tribe I was in and be able to do so much more for my tribe and the friends I have made. Xyson was my get away and hopefully it will be again and for so many other players.

Subscription based is not your problem it's always been subscription based. You need to buy the game and then you can play for life. Subs are only required to get higher than level 30 skills and use exp on skills. (AKA green points)
30$ for life is not a major thing to worry about. Just go out and work a few hours and make the money. I see no need to change the system because some people do not want to pay.

It's showing up as thirty dollars a month right now. Some people have bills and people they have to take care of. For some people thirty dollars is make it or break it. They could at least have a short trial people for people to try the game. Not that many people are going to straight up buy the game for thirty dollars. Yeah, there are people that pay about 50 or 60 dollars for a game, but usually there is a demo they can try or even in a store. Even if its not the case, the other most likely reason is because they have played that serious for a long time, for example; Kingdom hearts, Call of Duty, Devil May Cry, Pokemon.

You did demo it, you said you liked it. Also not sure where you see 30$ a month, it's 30$ to buy it. You only pay that once.

My wife and I left the game back in November for various issues. Number one on my list is the fact that a homestead is way too small for a building program for a large project. We ended up joining a large tribe that had a lot of land and only two full time active people. We ended up getting basically forced to leave because we supposedly were taking up too much space and that I had asked another player to help me with getting materials. One of the full times gave me grief about "doing what I wanted" on tribe land. The tribe leader was caught between a rock and a hard place.

I decided to come back and try to get more real estate by going upward on a homestead. I did learn the "drop" method of building finally, but it was freaking difficult. I am glad to see the ground up method and I cannot wait to get enough blueprints to try it. I plan on doing a lot of mapping and other things so as not to run out of project, since a homestead is so small.

I have noticed that the creatures are more vicious than before in the medium and low danger areas. My wife was killed by a bear in medium, and by a raccoon in low. I was attacked today by a raccoon on the edge of the lake. Low danger to me, means not being killed in low, but maybe attacked by something but it doesn't kill you. Thought I found a small steep cul-de-sac in a medium area with no animals in it and the bear spawned right on top of my wife while we were looking at the waterfall. Two hits and dead, not enough time to run. Anyway, I hope to have a better experience this time around. I do see a few minor improvements besides the architecture, so keep up the good work!

Hello FlarePyro,

Xsyon is $29.99 for a game account which allows you to play one month without any limits and indefinitely with limits (similar to the past 'free play'). This week, Xsyon game accounts are on sale for $14.99 through Steam or directly on this site. Subscriptions are required only to play without limits.

Hello Oldtimer,

Creature revisions are currently in progress. They are taking a long time, but the changes will include much easier low level creatures and will be worth the time spent!

Thanks!
