The question that I get asked is "what is the point of this game?"
My answer
"you are a settler on a parallel universe. This planet is an exact copy of earth, the roads are there, but no cities except those we build ourselves. You need to find an area to settle, hunt, gather materials. The original settlers are well established and guard their territory fiercely, but some will allow you to build in their territory if u ask nicely. But don't feel nostalgic for where your house is in real life, you left it behind when u came. As a new settler, you need to develop a role in this society - hunter/gatherer is all u can be at the start but there are many routes open to you. Tap everything, read info. Open the chat rooms, lurk and read what is said, get to know who looks nice or nasty. If u have a mentor, ask them about classes, how to kill monsters. Pick up everything you see, pick every berry, flower. Dump the dropped weapons for gold (you can do it while chopping). Get into a routine, mine was :- log on in morning, buy feathers, explore hunt gather, before bed go to trade hub - post excess mats for gold or food, log off - wake up to a full purse! Repeat. As in real life, nothing comes without work, if u want a quick hack and slash, this game is not for you"
