Its an alpha mod with many problems. It hasn't died but the game can be both frustrating and incredibly slow paced.[SoE]_Zaitsev wrote:I thought the game died out.
The game has become a simple "pvp" survival game, which narrows down the market of gamers. Some people enjoy the idea of killing others as a gameplay mechanic, however I know a few gamers who love Zombies and the attributed games, films, books, etc but have no desire to play a suvival game where they will end up dead every few minutes because they do not have the FPS skills they once had.
I personally have not played it much since I got it, but the majority of the time I have spent playing it I have enjoyed it a good amount, but the game is a serious time sink... hours can pass by and you have not done much at all.
Also co-op gameplay is a must, lone-wolf gaming is just snail pace.
The game requires a 'PVE' style element to it, other than finding things to gear up, because the end-game is PVP at this present time.
My guess is that the standalone game will become a mix of PVE and PVP with "free-for-all" areas. This will encourage a lot more team building and a lot less "shoot him, I need his binoculars" type gaming. There is potential for it to become a small server "mmorpg" style game (limited players per server still).
We shall see.
