Why you might like it

  • Players can reshape terrain, construct homesteads and villages, farm, hunt and craft within a world designed to retain the consequences of collective activity.
  • A deep quality and production system connects raw materials, skills, tools and crafted goods, giving specialized labor meaningful economic value.
  • Village organization, trade and territorial politics emerge from player decisions rather than being confined to predetermined faction storylines.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Mostly open PvP and character death can destroy substantial progress, making security knowledge and careful settlement placement essential.
  • The interface and interconnected crafting systems have a steep learning curve, and community documentation is often necessary for efficient play.
  • World resets and major systemic changes are part of the game's development model, so even established settlements and strategies are not permanent forever.
