Single Player?

First of all the game looks really great. I hope it will be a success for you even if it's may not something for me.

To be honest i don't like games that are just "online", so i would like to know if it can play alone in single player mode? Is the game then really offline or does it still require a internet connection?

That's all i would like to know. Good luck with your game anyway! ;)

What i have read about it it's a single play experience. After EA it will be online...In EA you play alone in a world with size 64x64 km :)

It is online single player. GHOST mode is like MMO where people live in different dimensions. And because we are trying to prepare everything for MMO version, communication, database and just everything is like in MMO version. That means that you will need active connection all the time.

Yes, Online only killed it for me as well. All the best hope it goes well for you, but it will now be moved from "Wishlist" to "Not interested"

I would be fine with Online only, if i could host my own server but if the servers are hosted from the devs you are always some kind of dependent and you've most probably also often have to face cheaters or annoying other players. As far as i know hosting your own server isn't planned or am i wrong?

Else that fact also killed it for me but i still would wish you good luck. ;)

Yes, hosting own server is not planned. We plan to add new features and also world events. That just can't work with dedicated servers. Also, whole idea is based on auction and player cooperation. On smaller server with small amount of players, it will just not work.

Just took it off of my wishlist, but if that is the way the game is gonna be, no thank you.

Good luck with those plans, but srsly, you do know how it is in other online crafting survival games? You will have a few groups of players who will claim the best building locations, rule the server, kill any new players on sight, destroy bases when nobody is watching etc. etc. That's what killed Ark, that's what is going to kill your game in the long run. Player cooperation? That's funny, cute and totally naiv. Best of luck.

I'm just going to put it right, it's written by a colleague.

We certainly do not plan to destroy the values in the game (this is my opinion since the beginning of development and one of many reasons why the game arose). We do not like when someone is building a lot of hours and then somebody destroys it.
Therefore destruction will not be allowed - other locations will be destroyed, but certainly not where players are building own homes together. Cooperation was meant jointly building and not joint destruction.
