This game ll be releasing a new engine soon, within weeks.
After messing arround a bit more I came to enjoy and hate a few features of this game (more)
I love and hate taming ^_^
With taming you don't need any equips to gather materials fast, since you just go out naked, tame a beast and let it kill its own kind, usually 1 dies and the other one is almost dead meaning for 1 tame you got (almost) 2 dead (lootable) beasts while you can rest up and heal your own hp in the meanwhile, this all without any equips on you hehe.
This also allows you for some direct coin making, by taming horses then selling them to players back in town.
The only bad part is the current buggish movement of mobs, which probably ll be fixed with the new engine that's coming.
Thieving, even though I hate that my pockets r being molested non stop wherever I go in town, and I have to keep em empty or run arround like and idiot or stomp away potential thieves.
It does keep ya sharp with all those thieves arround, and it does give you a chance at thieving too. It's just another element that makes just standing in town with fat loot and having huge ammounts of coin on you instead of in bank not as boring.
It also adds more to the player interaction, since there are more people in town to bash/talk/annoy etc in town this way.
I did once get violated by 6 thieves at once though, after agreeing on a trade with a player, I went to the bank and ofcourse the thieves knew I was gonna grab some money so they completely cornered me, and I couldn't set a step without being pocket violated.
Full looting is another feature that just makes this game interesting. Even though I hate being killed and then looted by some red dude and right now half of them in the wilds r just plain hackers so you can't really win against them, and the other half has sick ass equips of high quality or stays in groups to hunt people down.
There are not too many reds, so the few that are there just make it that more of a strategy game.
Are you going fully armored out there to protect yourself? Or just ready to die and naked (this is why I like taming hehe, it doesnt require me to have any equips to still get my loots effeciently hehe)
