The Xsyon team has announced that Xsyon: Prelude is now free to play for new and returning players. The move coincides with the launch of the Kickstarter campaign to fund the next part of the game, Xsyon: Apocalypse and to bring Prelude to a "gold" state.
All new and returning players are welcome to join the world of Xsyon on the Main Server for Free! Limitations on Free Play accounts are posted here.
We're looking forward to new phase of Xsyon. See you in game!

humm cant create tribes..
I dont think you can start building anything unless you claim the land as a tribe.. so basically you have to join an established tribe and ask if its ok for you to build on their land even tho you add nothing to their tribe size..
so you can walk around and harvest stuff
still it at lerast gives someone an idea of what the game will be like..
I encourage anyone that is a sandbox fan to try this game out. In my opinion, this game is a great example of some of the best and worst of sandbox MMO design. There's plenty to love, some to be frustrated by, and a good bit to hate but there is certainly a good bit there to play around with.
At the price of FREE there's no excuse not to give this a try just to see what it's all about.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

I understand what you're saying but this game is suppose to be the very start of re-building civilization. If it were "The Postman Online" like the movie then yes. (actually The Postman world would make a good MMO ..i guess..lol)
In my opinion there should be no NPC vendors or mail system. That should be created by the playerbase. Maybe one player could be the Postman or a tribe dedicated to carrying communications through the harsh setting. Then maybe individual and tribes of merchants that set up the market economy. Likely it would be a barter economy until eventually a common currency would develop..maybe those useless bottle caps lol.
This is all hard..I know..until a decent population forms.
Not a good sign, I began patching the client which is 2 gb ... it got about 75% done and I closed the window on accident and when I re-launched the client it started the download over again from the beginning
I take that back, after closer inspection it seems the download bar started over but the size of the download now shows a smaller size. Its an odd way of handling a resume but I'll take it.
So for any wanting to test it out, i suggest you move on.
The wonderful thing about the free trial is that it was in response to feedback provided. If you think that 30 is too low, submit feedback
It's the best way to accomplish something... I'd also post it on the xsyon forums as I'm sure there's more likely hood that it'll be read by someone important there.
Sorry Lahuzer - I've been trying to reply to this for a while - 100 is the max.
The only purpose levels serve is to get free skill points to assign to skills. So this means you don't get those. No big deal. Leveling serves no other purpose... it used to increase your HP. No more
• Released and sold two years ago
• Kickstarter two years later
• Becomes "free" to play
So much potential, so much fail.

Actually you get the xp but you just won't be able to use it unless you sub but you don't waste your time.
Eyesgood is a wurm player so I assume he is just trying to put this down so people don't try it and stick with wurm.
I am a Wurm player and have never hidden that fact.
However, I also try other games as any good sandboxer would. My comments about Xsyon come from my own personal experience. Hey, I purchased Xsyon. I payed for two months of premium time, and I joined a village and tried to make a go of it. The facts of my statements are verifyable and in no way are meant to demote one game to promote another. Truth be told, when I first found Xsyon, I posted on the Wurm forums Woodscrap about it. I was excited because I saw potential. I still see potential. I wish the game all success, I really do. But as long as the Xsyon developers insist on leaving out core game features needed by every sandbox game, Xsyon will only ever have a tiny playerbase.
