To compare Xsyon with FE quality is just a no no. I was in FE closed beta and it was terrible. The combat was buggy, tons of graphical errors and ingame bugs. It never felt solid even at open beta/launch. That is why they kept offering people to try for 10 days free. I think its fair to say that when a company offers the 10 day free trial they are losing subs, trying to save face.
The concept of FE was decent, but after the closed beta experience the bad taste in my mouth never left and I haven't been back since.
Xsyon is 100% more solid then FE. It actually feels like I am playing a character. Sure the server stability has been a problem and I had issues with getting kicked/server crashing at the beginning. But since then things have been patched fixed to the point where I can stay in for hours now. That is improvement. What makes it even more quality IMO is the fact that this is foremost important before tossing in a bunch of content to confuse things even more.
It seems Xsyon has payed attention to Mortal Online and learned from Star Vaults mistakes. Only until now SV figured out to run a bare bone client to figure out what is causing lag. After they spent all that time tweaking , bringing and testing new content features. We are back to a empty client with nothing but a sword/axe and a tunic.
Although the updates are seemingly slow the progress remains steady here. As long as there is progress there is hope. Now lets get some animals in game so I can make me some bone armor. :woohoo:
