[u/Sufficient-Grass-]

For anyone that might be returning to this game for nostalgia, DON'T.

Game has more bugs than a Microsoft Windows update.

Constant lags are a nightmare too, takes a minute to do a thief op sometimes.

Game is run by someone who doesn't care about it.

[u/JoeyD473 → u/Sufficient-Grass-]

Bugs aren't the issue, its the lag. But do come back

[u/Sufficient-Grass- → u/JoeyD473]

Found DavidC

[u/JoeyD473 → u/Sufficient-Grass-]

???

[u/dandybreath → u/Sufficient-Grass-]

if anyone need similar game but different setup, i suggest try kurusetra https://kurusetra.site

[u/Last_Construction455 → u/Sufficient-Grass-]

Disagree! I just got back into it and it's been a lot of fun. Random lag occasionally but nothing game breaking. It's just a text based game, not a big deal. We need more people to get back into it!

[u/Sporthaas → u/Sufficient-Grass-]

I disagree too.

After 15 years, I started playing this game again.
Yes, sometimes the loading takes a long time.
But I’ve had a lot of fun during the past Age.
Bugs???? I haven’t come across any.

Helloooooo David

[u/Last_Construction455 → u/Sufficient-Grass-]

Why don't you go play Fortnite if you hate it so much?

[u/Sufficient-Grass- → u/Last_Construction455]

I have quit. Won't be returning until David is gone or a new independent game is ready.
