Returning player from old Alpha, but dead game?
« on: May 15, 2013, 06:41:39 am »
I remember playing alpha sometime ago (over a year), and the community was pretty active. I just finished the tutorial a few minutes ago in Survival, and spent some time in New Urugay or w/e the name is, and I have not seen a single other player yet.

There is something to be said when you play an MMO set in a post-apocalypse world and you are the only person in existence. There's some kind of serenity and a strange mix of emotions (bliss/fear/wonder/etc.) I enjoy it, but I would much like to actually encounter some other players...

Q1 or NY became much more bigger and you can't hear chating people in the whole NY zone, only seeing at radar.
I don't like online too, but it exists.  :)

It's true there are fewer active players, as they wait for new Updates, but I am currently in NU.
NU is just about fully playable, including mobs and underground mining, but the most important aspect is still missing, namely chat over the whole zone so you can see who else is there, and trade.

Yes, that's it, that's exactly it!
Congratulations! Afaik, u are the 1st person ever to successfully describe this special "Afterworld Vibe" so many people have spoken about over the years.


Yeah, the game isn't really dead but not really alive either. We are waiting for a few bugs to be fixed, for a few professions to be re-implemented... preparing for the new rise, hopefully.
