Game Website
Tried this last night, it's free Alpha stage MMORPG.
It's like, Ultima Online combined with Animal Crossing.
Only, like 100x as hard.
Everything in the wild kills you but bunnies. Last night I played long enough to get killed by a bear walking carelessly in the forest. Oh, and because I was sucking badly, and was really low on my Overall Health, i got permanently killed.
I tried again, grabbed a bunch of bunnies and butchered them for meat (if you don't eat, you die, also, you have to eat to gain stat points)
Any time you do something in game you gain L.P. which you can spend on skills, that cost more for each point you put into them.
Built a Leanto, and some curing tubs. Dried out the bunny skins overnight to turn into leather to make a backpack.
You are supposed to build walls and a house and stuff to keep your work safe (but that would take like a day of effort cutting trees, probably more) So my stuff is sitting in the middle of nowhere, I can only hope it doesn't get stolen.
Also, the graphics are worse than UO.

Oh I forgot, there is some ridiculous long skill tree to fight. But when you can, everyone is killable.
Come to think of it, some dude who is older than me could just walk up and shoot an arrow in me, I don't even have the skills to fight back yet.

QUOTE Everything in the wild kills you but bunnies. Bunnies aren't cute like everybody supposes. They've got hoppy little legs, and twitchy little noses. And what's with all the carrots; what do they need such good eyesight for, anyway?
To catch bunnies, you don't even fight them (I couldn't anyway)
You run after them until they stop moving, sneak in really close, and then grab them into your pack.
Then you have a 2x2 grid bunny in your pack (4x4). You right click it to "Wring Neck" to turn it into a 1x2 dead bunny. Then you Butcher it to get Bones, Meat, and Fur. Haven't found a use for the Bones, yet.

That sounds like the most prosaic video game ever produced.
I look forward to more of your review. Â In the long run, is it actually fun?

Wife was interested until I read "Wring neck". Then all interest went away.

There is... but i'm not totally sure how.
Try adding DTMan as your "Hearth Secret" when you make your character. It should let your hearth fire (log in spot) near mine.
If your wife is a builder, I think she would love this game.... seems to be all about planting and stuff.

Fastest way i've seen to gain L.P. is to do tree/Board/Buckets.

Only way to delete and recreate your character is to die.

I think I will move down the river a little into the middle of the wooded area and build a palisade wall.
It will require killing a large number of trees, but should be worth it, to keep us fenced in from baddies.

A warhog ran over and killed me. Before I could stand up, it killed me again. It's just hovering over my body ready to kill me.
This is the stupidest game I've ever played.

I had to chase the boar to have it kill me. It would leave and I had to hunt it down again.
I read that people like to throw rocks at people from boats to kill them. So, moving in land will help. I have a dowsing rod, so, we can find water. But, you've probably already got one too.
Didn't play very long last night though. Lag was too thick.
