Yup, all features are on, including pvp, terraforming and animals.
Lag can be bad at times and there are occasional crashes. One big rollback which was bad but I would have that now rather then 3 months down the road.
On the other hand trees are gone in starter areas which means that tribes are building heavily so there are people enjoying the game.
Right now game is playable although you never know when server will be taken down.
This game is not for those with no patience, that is for sure. But I still enjoy my scavenging runs, it's like lottery each time:)
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.

It was frustrating this weekend, since I had hours upon hours of free time and the lag and features turned off made it unplayable. Now I'm travelling for work for the week, unable to play with all of the features turned on. A small smile came to my lips though when I heard of the big rollback.
Have fun, hope to be on in a few days.
Your better off not playing this week. Lag is horendous! Game is unplayable by most. And even with a ton of patience, you really just dont want to be logged in atm.
Good game here, waiting for the coding to be revamped and lag drasticly reduced. Once thats all said and done... looking at a good time.
People did know, but they complained likewise. This forum is filled with quite a few immature people...
I'm looking foward to the lag being fixed, then this game has only room to grow.
Correction: All features were not supposed to be turned off until the 15th, it just happened that way because the servers were unstable and the lag was so terrible they were troubleshooting til the final hour.
Lag gets really bad at times, and at other times it clears up and the game is rather enjoyable. Lag is SO bad though, that PvP and PvE is worthless. Luckily most people don't try to PvP, but the animals don't care if you can't fight back, they'll attack you and kill you in a matter of a few hits (bears I'm looking at you) and we've had people complaining of being spawn camped by bears in their homesteads. I was killed by a bear 3 times this morning alone, just trying to run to a friends camp. When the lag cleared up I ran over there and killed it.
I'd say for every 30 minutes of lag, you get about 5 minutes of good, playable time. The lag just eats away at your game time though... takes 1 - 2 minutes to open a bag, takes 3 - 5 minutes to initiate and complete trades, and don't even get me started on eating and drinking. These things usually take 10 seconds to a minute tops if you have no idea what you're doing.
Its frustrating, but thats the price you pay for playing in these conditions. As long as theres no large rollback again, I'm alright (eventhough we did have a few small rollbacks last night of about 15 minutes)
I thought $40 was the price you paid to play in those conditions?
Touche' Eoweth
*chuckle* Grats on getting in, and if the humor in this post is any indication of the community... it's going to be an awesome game. GL in there.
the game is still unplayable as i type
delay is around 5-10 seconds to even scavange scraps
So What Now?
It is. The community so far is great. Have a few asshats, you know.. the ones who wont shut up in chat, and claim to be veteran mma fighters... "Warmonger I'm looking at you..." But the rest of the community seems pretty damned cool. Just need to buy a can of good ol LagBeGone and we should be having a blast.
I basically log in for 10 minutes, then log out. I was hitting 1900ms a few times. Not worth it now. So all I do is log in, log out.
The reason is, rollbacks and unplayable with lag. I cant wait till this is straightened out.
