No. Stop hoping until it's been released and running publicly for at least 2 years. But don't start hoping after it's been 2 years because MMOs shut down randomly all the time.

Best to never have hope, actually.

if people followed this logic, they'd never try or play anything online or mmo related.

your comment is pure empty cynicism, imho.

An MMO should be single player focused, then let the community build the social part.

I thought the "best to never have hope" would serve as the "/s."

man I've either been online too long or time is getting to me. cause I have difficulty telling these days.

apologies, friend.

Online weirdos have eroded the venerable institution of sarcasm. I used to use /s more but I've decided to go further into absurdism. I just haven't gone far enough

Last sandbox mmo I tried was PaxDei which turned out to be a massive letdown.

Somehow got addicted to bitcraft myself

Would you recommend it? I'm looking for something casual I could hopefully make some friends on. How friendly are peeps on there?

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

People are very friendly, I'm on region 12 and it's very helpful to new players

The game is great and gets new content every to weeks

[–] Dzheyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Thanks for the info! I'll give it a shot 😄

I got into it early on and it's definitely very friendly chill and fun! I am not playing it now since I am waiting for the wipe to happen.

[–] Dzheyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait, wipe? I could prolly look it up but that defeats the purpose of interacting with you fine folks.

No. Sandbox MMOs will never be a thing. Most people simply don't want a second job, sorry.
