Time for a change

[Mactavendish]

With a few of the more vocal malcontents having been banned at least for a spell, it seems to me that now is the time for a change.

Too long these forums have been "serviced" by those seeking to tear the game down.

Let's change that folks!

I talk to many of you daily in game, and know that you have projects you are working on, often say you like this or that about the game and how much you look forward to what is planned next.

So... Talk about it! Start posting here and let's return this forum to a lively spot to talk about our game.

To be successful, we need to not get sucked into debates that will spin out of control and only lead to complainers getting the upper hand again.

Please Survivors,

Lets keep this thread on topic with what the OP has asked.

Thank you.

I had a new player contact me last night to ask some questions. The first thing he said to me was somethin like "This is a great game, and things are not as bad as everyone is saying they are" I agree with him, it is a great game! And I had fun answering his endless questions, though it did keep me up way too late, but it's all good.

As for Macs question, I can name tons of stuff I love about this game, but to keep it simple, I love the realistic feel when playing. It doesn't feel like a cartoon. The seasons with weather changes to the saplings growing under the giant Douglass firs. Being able to make a river or a pond, and just creating something uniquely different from everyone else. Creativity is generally NOT a component of other mmo's. That one aspect alone makes this game uniquely original, and a sharp contrast from the standard cookie cutter game industry. That is why I like this game.

I cant wait for smarter and more fun AI, along with some rare items that matter much more.

I love how you can build up towns. Will love it when they do more than just look cool. There is a nice thread about an idea of how buildings should do other things than just looks.

The most fun I have had in the game is needing something, a tool for example, finding someone to trade with and heading to their camp. I always wondered why people wanted to come to me. My years of PvP screamed in my ear that they wanted to know where I live so they could stalk and gank me.

I understood it pretty fast. Going to someones creation, meeting them and seeing what they have built is a lot of fun. I SUCK at aesthetics. I can't "design" a living area etc. so seeing what other people manage with the limited resources (angles available etc.) is always interesting.

Also, having a feeling that the people around you are your community, getting to know them and knowing that there are other communities out there that you might never see gives the game a greater sense of an epic scale.

I love that you can shape your town to your desire. You can be ever so creative if you like!
Both in regards to terraforming and building.
