      I think of the it as the game that handed out vac bans to people because of inactivity, effectively fucking over a lot of people for the simple crime of no longer playing. (Vac bans only matter for the game that supplied them, but there’s a lot of games and servers of games that check your vac ban status and won’t let you play if you have one, no matter the source)

      Yes. And there were only like 6 “mob” models and the entire game was just recolors of them.

      To be fair, they reworked a fair bit of that and some more.

      Which is actually the issue now - they keep reworking and improving stuff, but there is little new content. I feel like the game is just leaving it’s imaginary Early Access now. The new version coming probably should’ve been the launch version.

    What’s bad about the re-release? I read the article and it honestly sounds like it’s trying to improve the game. I must be missing something.

      This has been a universal problem with any MMO game that tries to have some kind of a resource grind/time sink. Even if you can manage to stop players from botting it, you can’t stop players from third world countries selling their time to players in first world countries. The game economy quickly becomes a reflection of real world capitalism that most of its players were trying to escape.
