Thanks for the info all!
No, you can't dig caves or tunnels for now.

If i can build a cabin, and it sounds like i can, then im in!
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
I really wanna buy this game but something is holding me back i would like a few questions answered first please.
Do you really need a tribe to build anything huge or can a solo player do it as well.
In Wurm Online you can capture and breed animales can you do the same in here like can i tame a wolf for a pet and etc .
During the winter do you really need to stay warm or dose it not matter like can i walk around in shorts or do i need to bundle up because thats a huge factor for me as well as the pets.
I like what i see but with the EVerquest Time Lock Server not sure how much time i have to devote to this game .
If I buy it tonight could I jump right in tonight and screw around in beta? Are the servers up right now? Would I have access tonight?
Yep. I bought it yesterday and have been playing almost non stop since lol. Keep in mind though that it is beta so there may be server wipes etc; the game will go live March 1st I believe. If you pre order you get to headstart at Feb 14th.

I can say that I am doing ok solo. I chose toolcrafter so I can make my own tools, which allows to make pretty much anything I want. There will be obvious advantages to be in tribe it seems, but I think you can do fine on the small scale. Animal training is in the game, just not activated right now, though I read it will be activated when the game goes live soon.
I seriously dont get it, i know sandbox games are few are far between but seriously, the development phase of this game is extensive, you are going to be waiting for beta to end for years after you have handed your cash over. Im like everyone else who apprietiates sandbox games, coming from a UO background. But this just doesnt have the support or finances behind it to take advantage of a true AAA class sandbox mmo. And now it has a higher hype rating than games like SWTOR, Tera, Secret world?
Potential? Potential has become a word within the mmo community thats dirtier than the word Hype.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about. The developement started like 3 years ago, and the game have been in beta for a year now, its ready to launch, and it will launch on 1st of March. I could care less with hype, lol, it doesn't mean anything, actually I don't like to see Xsyon hyped, it only attracks peopple who don't even know what they are getting into.
We who play the game don't enjoy its potential but the actual game.
@Kazlin: solo players can claim land too ( by creating a single person tribe) and you can build and terraform whatever you like on your land. Bigger tribes get more land of course. Taming will be in very soon after launch.
I understand everyone who is hesitating to preorder, since there were so many failed games in the last couple of years. If you guys are worried and want to be on the safe side, wait till launch and wait untill taming and some other features are implemented. If you join the game 2 weeks or a month later that won't be a big disadvantage at all. I don't want to trick anyone into the game, Xsyon needs happy customers not frustrated ones. There are quite a lot of info about the game now, if you feel something is missing then wait, if you feel its for you then jump in right now.
I was looking for skill-based MMO with twitch based combat and after some time found myself on Xsyons website.
I was prepared to spend about 40$ just to try a game so i didn't think long before I pre-ordered after seeing feature list.
When I first logged in I thought WT... that's not what I paid for this is not ready for release by far. So I went to forums to see whats going on, after reading some threads and playing some more I realised threre's plenty to do especialy when you join or create a tribe. I also found out that some missing key features are going to be in for launch other shortly after. Knowing that I decided to play some more.
Then I found a bug crashing my game so I submitted it and got reply in about 2 hours from Jooky "the main dev".
Bug was removed the next day and I'm still mailing with Jooky whenever I have a question or find a bug and never waited for response more than few hours. Playing this game for two weeks I've seen 3 updates with both bug fixes and new content.
The community is very friendly and Devs are reacting to how players "shape" the world which is great in player driven world.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to join, there's no guaratee that it'll succeed and system req's are high for graphics you get, but if you have spare 40$ and like sandbox MMOs it's worth a try.

Play for years for $40? Sounds alright to me as long as they keep adding content. My only fear is that it shuts down before i feel I've gotten my money's worth. I think paying to beta test is the new business model for Independent sandboxes.

here is a random question... but all this hype about terraforming and tribing and such.. but what about PVP?? how does the game react to the A-typical PVPer furthering that.. how does it handle potential greifers as we have seen in other "sandbox" games??
its been awhile since i bothered to check out xsyon, simply as i dont have the funds for a sub-based game but im quite interested to see how this game does comparied to its equals of MO and DFO ect.

To fight you have to enter combat mode and your speed drops so in most sitations you'll be able to run away from fights.
Encumberance heavily affects your running speed as well so PK'ers wont be able to loot many players.
After being killed you're in ghost state for about a minute in this time you can run away to reborn in safe location or follow your killer to take revenge (he'll be slower due to encumberance). PK's/evil players can be killed without affecting alignment, fully looted and reborn at tribal totem. You can set bounty on evil player as well.
So basicly you can kill anyone it's open PvP with safezones in towns for first few months but consequences are severe.
Tribal warfare hasn't been introduced yet so I can't tell anything about it.

I just can't get myself to pay 40 bucks to beta test this game... it looks like it could be fun, can't wait to be able to give it a try.

How big is the game world ?
If there are too many tribes with there own land, won't the game get cluttered with camps ?
here is a random question... but all this hype about terraforming and tribing and such.. but what about PVP?? how does the game react to the A-typical PVPer furthering that.. how does it handle potential greifers as we have seen in other "sandbox" games??

Starting world is about 120 sq km and will expand to about 1200 sq km. Terrain is based on satelite data of lake Tahoe.

So it's quite big.
