Reasons for not playing this game:
1. Bugs...
2. Useless tutorial... Don't think you can even call it one... yeh maybe your meant to try and find it all out for Yourself but fuck that I'm no mind reader lol. no man would know to use a spindle root as a class of string... yeh flax or even hemp understandable but the root?
3. The way your meant to earn points(LP) is retarded.
4. Painfully slow mostly due to the server[glitched every 2 mins, im a very patient person]
5. not many players and when you do come across 'em they are always griefers (which wouldnt be a problem if it didnt take for ever to lvl up).
6. Make ur guy from scratch try to learn swimming (why make it an option when clearly its a bad choice)-dead... again new guy thinkin wow been on all day must be able to take a boar on, wrong again... Your knocked off ur feet in one then killed... Not starting again not worth it in the slightest.
7.The party option is a must but should include something to help understand how many ppl are in your area or so... true Im in the UK so my times are diff to those from the USA or Russian parts of the world...hence i had the problem never finding ppl awake/alive/or not a griefer.
8.Game is impossible for ppl who have had a late start, so yes if your new do the following:
-load of your web browser
-enter in your fav p*rn site or roll one
-De-stress due to the following because of being so hyped up over a game
-I would do both as it chillifies you fast.
Reasons to play it:
1.Thought it had a good concept for an MMO
2. Different and slightly more realistic -!but to the point of a pig managing to kill a man in two shots, terrible :/...!
3. collecting materials for a house agreed is most taxing which i think is pretty well measured in time etc.
4. LP are great but it gets to the point were you have found all these new items and you just find your self stuck looking for curiosities and doing other annoyingly gay jobs.... keep it straight and reasonably simple because without a tutorial i had to spend some time on youtube listening to germans and some guy whos stoned wandering what he did last...
5. The size of the map (ruined to people owning so much of it)... Fuck letting people own it let it be pillaged or don't but don't go this crazy.
In conclusion pretty cool game due to the concept and all but because of the lag from the server, the ridiculous measures of some parts in the game and the unrealistic painful memories i have had in this game. It is a must that you should take these just into consideration, don't want another fella loosing hours over a game which could be perfect but which isn't therefore time could be placed to more fundamental things... like study... haha.... Im not kickin balls, Im clearin the air since no one else has the ballz to.... GL to those who bask on the hearthling journey but be warned!
