So you want me to tell you a story? A story about success and failure? Let me tell you about the early access game Nether. Nether is a game I dream about. I purchased this game at its peak, when you had to hope a server had a few slots open for you and your friends. This game was a masterpiece. I got this game when it was in the trio of rival survival games, DayZ, Rust, and Nether. I spent HOURS of research on all 3 trying to find which game would suit my primative survival needs. I had just enough money for this game and Rust so I promptly purchased and installed both. Nether was the biggest pain to install, causing me to download and make another account for their own launcher ect. It was quite the pain overall. I go to run the game and of course it requires a 64 bit system which I didnt have. Fast forward a few days (I wanted to play this that badly).

Finally get to playing it and I have NO clue what i'm doing. Now they have a tutorial but of course back then it was a "learn as you go" system. I LOVED THIS GAME. This game was the best looking survival game on the market and my god I loved the way it ran. Everything looked so smooth and polished for a survival game, and they where still updating it! I was hooked. I craved those clutch situations of pvp battles. Was I any good at them? Nope. But I still found it fun. I stopped playing this game for a few months and came back when they added a tutorial and it was more friendly for some friends to join me. The game was fun. I still found it entertaining. Was it perfect? No. Not even close. But we still had a hell of a time playing it.

Now let me tell you why I still dont play this game. First off the Developers abandoned it. NOW SERIOUSLY HATE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. DEVELOPERS I HOPE YOU READ THIS BECAUSE IM GOING TO TELL YOU HOW TO SAVE THIS GAME. The developers out of nowhere said oh yeah remember that Nether game? We're handing it off to another studio Called Nether Productions. This was there first mistake. Second mistake was totally throwing the game out the window when they did this. They stopped developing or even trying to make it look like they still worked on the game. Yeah they gave the community PvE servers basically where you can go to find people that dont hack the game but other then that nothing.

Now don't get me wrong this game is still fun, but PLEASE DEVELOPERS READ THIS. All they need to do to save their game, is give community support. Believe me the community for this game is still very strong! All they need to do to keep it going is let the community take over the game. If you game us the ability to create private or public servers and give the community the ability to make structures, produce new weapons, maybe even create new nether!? The game runs on the unreal engine which to my knowledge is an open source software (correct me if i'm wrong). It would be like handing off a project. Give it to the community and the game will be remade. There will be a blossom in creativity as the game becomes A THING AGAIN. LET THE GAME BREATHE.

With that rant of hope aside I am recommending this game only because I had fun with it. Enough fun for me to consider this game a purchase even if it was still a $25 dollar game. Now that it's ten dollars I think that people can still enjoy it. The game is a successful mmorpg with a working cash shop to the point where it isnt a pay to win game, just a pay to improve (; This game has great graphics, still a partial community, and when played with friends, is still a great time. If the developers respond to this I would be MORE then thrilled and if anyone that has had any contact with the developers read this please comment or send me a message. Thanks for Reading!
