wasnt this supposed to be released last year? there really is nothing to the game at all. pure vapourware. so where did the time and money go? like alex jones modus operandi, coke and ladies. 

so what can you do in it? craft some items, of which the most important one is the cryptically named "supply". took me 2 hours to figure out that one. 

the text is tiny and barely readable, although i can only play at 640x480 on my $600 machine i bought ½ year ago at reasonable FPS, so it makes it even worse. 

in the latest developer update they spammed all the time "empires" and "exciting" - of which the last word, is only used by highly commercial enterprises. 

many have wondered where the name "bit" comes from, and they have constantly assured us on discord that it will never be associated with bitcoin. but lo and behold, yesterday they released a video about "the problems with cryptocurrency today".

you spawn in the same area as everyone else. if you walk north or south you get the error message "this is not the right way". only east works, where you are treated with a load of tutorials, which cannot be skipped, and the dialogue text is even harder to read.

there is nothing "open world" about it whatsoever. just walking literally for 20 seconds takes you out of bounds, where you already need tier 2 to gather resourches and fight a puny horse, the only monster seen. i have level 10 in many skills after playing all day, but i am somehow still not at the second tier. 

when spawning, you are treated with a village already viewable on the screen, which is made by the so-called player "V275836", surely a bot.

walking into the shrine some 15 seconds away, treats you to a tiny room with an NPC to talk to, there is 1 choice: trade. clicking that achieves nothing.

and not to mention the automap. almost nothing is on it, except where people have built claim totems - clicking anywhere to walk doesnt work if theres elevation.

there is nowhere to uninstall (nor find) the game on windows, it doesnt show up on the start menu, nor the desktop. strangely, there is no trace of it in "programs", it sits directly below c:.

as for the "social" aspect, i tried writing a few things in the chat, but got no replies. devoid of messages for 8 hours.

i have no idea how they are to house "every player on the same server", there is often lag of several seconds, and walking for 2 minutes you get the error message "couldnt sync with server".

figuring the rudeness of the discord admins and the pure inanity of their twitter posts, i can only assume this is made by angsty teenagers.
