First
and foremost this game has a great concept. It lets the players do
pretty much anything. Now that being said, to start players out it
puts them into a tutorial area that only covers a minute amount of
information. What I mean by this, is that it has many different areas
where it teaches players about the different aspects of the game but
only has quests and information for half of the things there. It
shows you how to use an anvil to craft things but it does not show
you how to shear sheep. The quests do not follow any kind of ordering
to make sure players cover all of the areas there. So not only does
it have little information, but it does not make sure the players
learn what is available to then. Even after the player is out of the
tutorial and makes their way to the fairgrounds there is little to
no direction for players. This doubled with stability issues such as
lag, server timeouts, and connection crashing makes for a very
frustrating experience that will undoubtedly make players not want to
even bother with the game.
Fixes
In
order for the game to be more apealing to the player base, the
networking issues need to be fixed first and foremost. Lag is one the
most unberable things to deal with in any online game world. It makes
players want to rip out their hair when, for no aparent reason, one
game out of many plays in slow motion because it refuses to have a
stable connection.
Only
after the stablilty issues have been taken care of, the quests should
be more structered to move the player from point a to point b. This
will ensure that the player learns everything in the turtorial area
while at the same time the feeling of being lost or confused will
disappear. This ensures that the player wont just sit around a quit
and makes sure that the player knows where to go when they have
finished in an area.
Conclusion
Again,
this game has a great concept but unless the stability issues are
fixed and the quests have a more general direction to them I would
not consider this to be a great game.
TALLIED SCORE!!!!!! (drumroll please)............................... 4.50/10!!!!
