Ditto. I'll be supporting this game as much as I can.
At this stage of the game are you playing with a crew already or do you FoH has any interest in playing this?

I have 6 others I’m grouped with currently, not sure what FoH has planed, if anything.

I ran with a group called Focus for the test. I don't know if I'll bother when it comes out if the crafting stays the same. Having to hoards thousands of materials in crates scattered all over the place, plus the crazy complicated recipes, is more work than fun.

Played through the alpha for a bit and its pretty much what others have said and this here is why I wouldn't be touching the game on release. I do hope the game cooks long enough to do well and carves out a niche though.

Mega guild at least in the sense they were killing all the cities and no one was able to stop them anyways
They did use bullshit like banes at 3am though
If we can thank the devs for one thing, it is that they demonstrated “play to crush” MMOs are guaranteed to become failed ghost towns

They not only failed to learn from it, but they have spent years holding their hands over their ears as people tried their best to tell them about it. Oh well. Same as it ever was.

Yeah even my solo experience was enjoyable.
Combat needs MAJOR work, but so long as it feels better than Mortal Online 2 I think it'll be somewhat successful.

Lets not pretend that a game that has never had even like 2% of the playerbase of any of the mainstream MMOs even when they are limping along after the hype is the best example of anything, either.
What's the highest eve pop has ever been, 5-10k players controlling 30 accounts each?

LOL. Eve had and maintained 550k+ subs for over a decade. I think they peaked at maybe 750k.
Literally other than WoW and perhaps some Korean grinders with some crazy "sub" numbers its one of the most successful MMOs in history.

550k subs because all the serious players have 20-100 accounts each, not because there were 550k unique people playing it consistently. Sure, the game was/is successful but lets not pretend that their sub numbers are an accurate representation of the playerbase, or ever have been.

He's confusing this game with Everquest which only ever peaked around 400k total accounts but only 150k players and that was for less than a year (2002) at that then everyone quit and people just kept acquiring their buddies/guild mates accounts because you need 97 clerics for CHeal chains and you could fully bot it.
Its true that in Eve many dedicated PVPers had a 2nd account for scouting though many of those were just a non-stop train of rotational 2 week free trials and never counted towards the actual sub numbers. But at its peak up to 30% of pvp players had a dedicated 2nd account (for scout/cyno/capital pick your poison). There's certainly exceptions to the rule, little fiefdoms in lowsec or drone space with their bot armies but nothing close to what china does to WoW and overall there just a tiny fraction of the sub numbers.

Eve, the game where most of the "550k subs" are significantly less real people running dozens and dozens of accounts for mining, spying, cyno alts, afk vexor ratters, etc. etc. etc.
