- Loaded in with my friend - killed a couple wolves - went into town - friend glitched through the map - found our sensei who taught us how to use the unstuck command and chop down wood - sensei slapped me for speaking slang - sensei told us to spread out new knowledge around - got a house down - got a furnace - made some gold - realised achievements where bugged Will never play again but i can tell there is a strong community to this game who wants to see it grow and become a really fun and playable game (once comment i might add is the in game time goes super slow the whole time me and my friend where playing it was night) but other than that the game is super to chill and mess around with a friend 10/10 to whoever out sensei was thank you for teaching us how to chop a tree and slapping me (Come slap me slap me again)

Originally a negative review. I was whining about the spiders being a bit too aggressive in packs of 6 and running away when low on health. Guess what, the developer, the next day, nerfed them a bit. Now they are tolerable. This review is now a positive. Why? Guy's....this is Everquest 1, with housing anywhere, for free. Sure, the graphics suck. But its free folks. Sick of all the monetization from Daybreak games with regards to EQ1? None of that crap here. You can buy mounts for cash but they are easily obtainable in game as well with a bit of grinding. This solo project is worth watching if you've exhausted every other old school mmo out there.

Great little fun game. Little more guidance required, hard to learn how mechanics work around the houses upkeep, most of all if you do not have enough time to pump everything out required in your first sitting. Hope fully it will improve.
