It's still pretty messy by the sounds of it. Everyone is complaining about the lack of difficulty at the moment. With multiple players, even getting hammered by nightly wolves and doing 1/8th damage isn't enough to retain any sort of challenge.

Death is also kind of poorly handled at the moment in my opinion and the community is being kind of dumb about it. If you die you turn into a ghost and you're dead. There have been suggestions to make it so that dying bans you from servers, keeps you as a ghost permanently on that server, etc.. Concepts that don't really work well with that sort of game. I can't imagine anything more miserable than trying to sit down to play with a friend and having them die on their first night to spiders and then we have to just close the server and start up a new one to try again. It discourages adventurousness and discovery. Overall the community wants dying in the game to kill you in real life.

But these are just kinks and I hope I get a beta key after they're worked out. If not I'll just play it when it's released.

I agree. especially when 2 veteran players join up, even a tree guarding is easy but im really looking forward to how they handle this since the first time me and my friends played it we were really hoping for a multiplayer version of the game. Fingers Crossed*
