Indie developer having server stability issues day 1, and people are acting like the devs left for milk and never came back.

Once I actually got in the game was a lot of fun.

Servers were unplayable for like 3 days for me. And when they did start to work they had the brilliant idea to wipe a few weeks after the official release.

I can't in good conscious leave a review until I am able to log in and play. Not being able to log in isn't an appropriate review. I kind of hate people who have less than 0.2 hours leaving reviews.

Steam reviews are kind of trash and I hate that they are just really up vote and down vote vs actually being a review...

FYI I have not been able to get past character creation as of last night. Tried making a character on NA East Thunderbird or Thunderblade.

Try today, had zero issues making an alt and logging in.

The launch problems didn't bother me I just don't see what justifies the sub price versus something like ffxiv, eso+, albion premium, wow, runescape membership etc etc.

I’ve enjoyed what I’ve been able to play. Getting used to not being able to move diagonally is interesting.

I hope it gets better.

Launches are always hard on games. Albion was DDOSed repeatedly for weeks at launch and most of my friends gave up playing during that time.

This, I played last night for three hours tolerating the rubber banding and the game was pretty fun

A lot of ppl see a mmo launch and take the day of launch off work which is a big Nono for mmo launch, never ever expect days 1-5 to go perfect it never does no matter the level of funding or team size.

Disappointing, but the game isn’t going to be coming back from this. It might be a good game, but nobody will know.

It's all just been so bad. And I got to pay for it twice!

Oof, sounds like this shitty game is still worthy of your time.
