Am I right in thinking that this game is being developed along different lines than alpha beta release?

It seems like the devs have given us a blank slate, and those few of us lucky enough to discover this game are tasked with the mission of building the towns, roads, tribes and quests!

We pioneers (lol DnL terminology there) must establish tribes (factions), evil players (monsters), resources and strategy (quests) and PvP objectives (towns).

I imagine that when the Prelude is complete, the game will be ready for the great swathe of 'normal gamers' who need that content established.

If my understanding is correct then what an amazing game and development plan! However, the fact that I'm making this post means that this philosophy has been poorly communicated. Many 'normal gamers' may be turned away by the empty world, and that negative reputation would be a bad thing for the long term success of this game.

Anyway, that's my first post. See you ingame sometime....
