Well I tested out the trial server for a few days, and I just bought the game today, have to say its satisfying my sandbox itch :) minecraft with better graphics / depth.  If they keep adding content they will probably draw in more players.

I havent even scratched the surface but hopefully they have / will add the ability for players to construct very large buildings.

There's a free to play server. no restrictions but the content is wiped every Monday. No reason not to get into that and give it a go.

it's ok.  if they improved combat it would be alot better.  i played for about 2 months (6 months ago) and have nevver killed a mob.  if a Rabbit attacks you,   you die.  Bear,  dead.  Deer,  death.  i can build a nice shack to live in but somehow i can't kill any wildlife. 

Yeah that game is (coud be) awesome. . I was hooked for about a month and a half because I ran solo. . if you are in a group it would likely last less time. 

They are adding to the game but the pace of development is sooooo slow.  They just didn't keep enough subs to keep the development progressing quickly. . which meant less subs etc. etc.

I still think for the price the game is worth the month or so that I played.  I kept hoping that they would add enough stuff that I could go back for a few months. .and it is almost at the point.  But then I would imagine I would be gone for a year or so.  the exploration and setting up is awesome.  They have a great start - it just needs to be continued.

We get what you're saying, but the tone was "asshattish". That reply even more so.

[mod edit]  if you enjoy playing the game, play it till the brakes fall off. I'm glad you found something you enjoy. I remember way back when Adam Tingle did his Survivor Guy series on it. I thought it sounded fairly interesting at the time but I was too busy to play. I actually forgot about it till this post. I think I'll give it a try now. Cheers.

The lag issues that plagued the game during the initial launch was solved a very long time ago. A lot of new stuff has been added since then, the best thing I can tell you to do is log on trial and give it a try.

What is "a lot of new stuff"?  I know they added carts.  I am guessing some recipies as well.  Totem decay is in as well, but is there anyting else major?  Just wondering.  I will likely go ahead on the trial server and check but I think it is wiped regularly right?

Hi, yes every week it is wiped all new data afaik.

about news I think it is betterto read the patch notes on their forum, they added revenants, and improved Ai adding animal migration . Also now if you attack a pack of rabbits only one will face you back hehe.

It is wiped every Monday, so tomorrow would be your best time to get on trial after the wipe. The trial is a exact copy of data from the main server.

Thanks both.

It was "solved" because people stopped logging in, yet even with little server load Desync is still prevalent.

Xsyon would be the best sandbox MMO out there and there isn't really anything wrong with the game. Combat needs work but if you only judge games by combat just go back to these single player action advertures they are calling MMOs.

All Xsyon needs is more people playing a true MMO. Has more features now than anything out there and not all the featrues are in the game yet.

The problem isn't the tools or the world.  The problem is that once you have done a fair share of crafting and getting your home set up, there's no reason to keep playing.  There's no gameplay drivers.  No faction wars, no meaningful PvP or PvE to speak of, etc.

Right now it's a great little crafting simulator and that's about it.  They need to work on the "survival" side.  Making mean deer isn't the answer.
