Are many people playing this game atm?
Well that is a good question. Id say more than 300 less than 1000. You can look at how many members in forum but some people who are playign havent logged in here yet. So i think they dont have an account. I would say as the devs continue to communciate and upgrade we will see the nubmer of players really start to ramp up.
What do people do just craft and trade. Can u build things like homes or ships?
Everything is pretty much craftable. I personally can craft msot anything like Weapons (guns and melee), health kits, basic clothes, mining euipment for above and below ground and other tools. We dont yet craft buildings or ships. There are no vechicles or ships in AW yet and I would not expect them for a while. But one of the good things about crafting is so far everything is craftable and unlike the game that shall not be named, crafting has a 100% outcome.
What do societys do together.
Drink, hunt, Drink, hunt, and drink. And we talk, we help each other a lot and we form our own community. In the past socs have been at war with each other (and sometimes within each other
. some socs help each other while some dont help anyeone. Its like real life! Also we have corporations which allow you as a player to be with e different group of players. A good example is I am in Hunters Unlimited, a society that is almost ten years old. Once you become a certain level in HU you are aksed if you want to join the Coporation of Alpha Unlimited. This is a group of about six societys and their higher placed players. You don't have to join Alpha Un if you don; want yo ucan go work with another corpoation and drink with them if you wish. What do corporations do? Id say Drink, hunt, Drink, hunt, and drink.
Im just trying to figure out what there is to do, i like to craft and gather resources but is that all there is to do. R
ight now skillign is the the thing to do. If your in NU as a new comer skill those rocks! in AW skill is the game and the game is of skill. every whack of a rock you take will get you closer to something today, next week and in four years. Its really true. New comers should whack rocks and get those Pnotes from the warrant officers (Watch out for Pupkin he is a jerk). Once you leave NU you find the small mobs and kii land loot,. the more you do the bigger guns and melee you can use and the better you become at getting better mobs and loot. Crafting is one of theose things that you can do, but your gonna need lots of hunting and game skills to do anyways. craft until you hit a block and then skill to get aroudn that block. So the answer. SKILL!
Are there vehicles or horses?
There are horses and no vechiles liek a said above. Horses are for meat at the moment and I think they were tamable before and might be a gain. But if you think you can take a horse in your first year? I have 1 word for ya. SKILL!
Are there dungons?
Well if you have been over to Zwarky's place after sunset. well that's is all i'll say there. No dungeons, dont think there will ever be. This is not fantasy with magic and stuff liek that. This is future sci-fi gaming where we maybe be a bit different but can't kill anything with our minds (yet).
Good luck!
