Steam recently launched early alpha access to this game Reign of Kings. Its setup is similar to H1Z1 but also a lot different and unique. Let me paste a recent review of this game. I think this game is worthy of a place in the MMORPG.com website.
Early Access Review
*Makes fat bearded man
*Runs around for awhile, finds some berries and ♥♥♥♥
*After exploring for a bit, I see a flaming fireball from a catapult hit a large log house out of nowhere.
*I take this opportunity to make my way into the house, using the large holes made by the catapult, and steal some ♥♥♥♥
*I end up with a bone axe thing and some wood armor, which makes me feel badass.
*I walk to where the catapult is, so I can greet them and hopefully befriend them
*A man comes from there and says that clicking G is a way to accept berries.
*I click G, which causes me to start waving like an idiot
*He takes this time to hit me until im weak, then use a lasso rope thing to drag me in a ragdoll position
*I cry for mommy
*He takes me into the castle where I am now suffering from blood lost
*He strangles me up on a hanging post and lets the whole kingdom witness my hanging
*I respawn seeking revenge, so I head straight for the throne
*I walk by the castle, trash talking them along the way
*I get to the bridge that leads to the throne of the king and I meet a knight with full steel armor and a steel axe.
*He is friendly and says that the king makes high taxes and is threatening to the community and deserves to die blah blah blah
*I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ so I just agree to helping him and go to distract the king
*I walk all the way up to the throne, going through obstacles and ♥♥♥♥
*I look up to see a small black tribal man who is screaming chants down at me with a crazy look in his eyes. Turns out he is the king.
*The knight and I chase him for about 10 minutes and finally kill him.
*The knight swears that he will only work for me and my mighty beard. I agree to take the throne, naming the land Beardland.
*We spend time building the fortress and recuiting new knights, we get up to 12 people.
*We spend time getting geared up and head out to DESTROY the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥s who hung me
*Game crashes.
...would do it all again... This game is great

Wow this section does not get much traffic. Here's another review.
Early Access Review
Been playing it for 14 hours now.
What I like about it:
- Pretty graphics
- Some nice ambient sounds --birds chirping, the ocean, thunder (think DayZ)
- Build castles
- Claim Territory by placing a banner in your building -- others cant build in your borders (nice so people can't hop your walls)
- Survival - forage for food, get water, hunt animals
- The King - one person in the server can be a king by claiming the throne - they can be overthrown of course. The king gets to set taxes that other players pay as they gather materials, high taxes really motivate people to overthrow the king, but also make it a lot harder for to collect materials.
- Proximity voicechat
- When you log out you turn into a "Sleeper", ie your avatar is replaced with a guy in a sleeping bag and people can kill you if they can reach you. So log out in the safety of your territory or find a really good hiding place.
- You can tie people up with rope and imprison them or send them to the gallows
- You can make crossbows, bows, siege equipment
- Weapons, armor, and blocks are all tiered (wood, leather, stone, iron, steel | dirt, grass, clay, wood, stone, stone slab)
What I don't like about it
- The combat is like Chivalry - good thing is you can block and there is a stamina bar. But many fights end up as run around the person hitting or kiting. You can choose which way you swing horizontally, but it's purpose is more so you don't hit a wall or tree while you swing. No directional blocking.
- Very little inventory space and the containers chests are quite small too.
Not many negatives. I've only had one game breaking bug occur in 14 hours. A couple smaller bugs. It's a fun game and for $20 bucks I've already got my moneys worth.
Today two knuckleheads tried to break down my gate. I stood on my wall shooting arrows at them. One guy managed to doublejump (it's possible to do against blocks) on to my wall and began running around my base. I ran behind him slashing him with my 2h steel axe. After he was dealt with I went back to the 2nd guy still hacking away at my gate and asking him to leave. He demanded a fair fight so I obliged and engaged him in a duel. After a few well time blocks and swings, he was dispatched as well.
Went back inside and made myself a chicken leg. Good game.
Just write Mike B. and give him the lo down. If he thinks it belongs then he'll add it.

It's not an MMO if the server has slots for 20-30 players, compared to H1Z1 which is an MMO.
Oh God lets not start the mmo debate which has overrun the Pub. This website covers League of Legends, Smite, Neverwinter , Diablo 3 and other such games. They cover mmorpg's mmo's orpg's. and some mog's.
You asked for reason why people vote no. I told you a reason why people vote no.
