I have to agree with a couple of the posts. The OP should have said what features are in currently and what features are planned. Otherwise, those PPL who don't do a little research about what game they are gonna buy are gonna whine and cauz a ruckess because they thought it would have this or that feature.
As to other posts, I disagree that its just a framework that can be build upon. I think its a fun game right from jump street. It does indeed have a long way to go as far as adding features, but saying its just a framework makes it sound like its a hollow thing which its not.
it doesnt say that its in alpha phase, it doesnt say that its in beta (its in alpha right now)
its deceptive at best. notice the last line where you agree this isnt a trial, thats right you pay $40 and if the game doesnt launch untill next august...tough luck.
they gave a few refunds but not all got one.
it was a fun game back when 20-50 people were online and it was playable, it hasnt been playable in the two weeks since i purchased my head start to launch of their prelude.
They modified their launch date to now march 15th.
However, i know theres some people who have bought this game back during summer, and still no launch...so who knows.
Im pretty sure the lead developer is using the roma victor game engin, as he was on the development team of that game, and its having similair issues as that game did.
Make sure you are willing to pay to test this game, and expect difficulties in even doing that.
Also about the features in game...most of these features only have a use during tribal wars, wich is stated as being at least 6-9 months away....thats a long time to be building structures and terraforming for visual purposes, and thats if you believe the timeframe from a game company that said launch was in augus (was that its first a launch or did they try in april of last year too?)
The only fun part right now (during lag free moments) is the full loot pvp, however there is an army of players who want this as a heavily punished act, and also the option for safe zone toggles and strictly enforced gno-griefing policies. ect. these people have the close ear of the developer, as theyve been around the longest, so the pvp may be less viable in the future.
I gotta be honest, this game is a fcking mess right now. no direction, confusing statements from the developer, a community that is growing restless. down time rollback wipes lag....theres buggs to but those are low on the priority list right now.
Xyson may one day be a good, or even great sandbox MMORPG, but today its better to call it what it is, a decent framework on which the developers hope to expand on. One day it may even rival EVE but for now that's just not the state of the game and many fokls will come away angry.
This.
Xsyon is basically still in alpha at release, greatly lacking in stability, content, usability and polish.
In its current state, it's way overhyped. Give it another 1-2 years to cook, and it may or may not deserve its rating...

Hype train -> Reality
I dont know anything at all about Zsyon, but I know for sure that Asherons Call is the best sndbox game ever:-)
+1 AC was the best. AC was also the best 1v1 pvp game. Pure skill.
