The Wars in Atlas - MMORPG.com
Atlas came on the scene recently as one of the wildest MMO stories in years. Out of nowhere ARK creators launched their MMO which had pirates, islands, and all kinds of crazy technology for players to battle it out. However the communities are forming up on either side in a warfare that looks similar to EVE Online.

just marketing talk....pure bs.
Elite: Dangerous
not really hard ther eis nothing around for people to play anyway, plus the selling points
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests
When I see actual game play it's a bunch of ill-shaped lulz characters running around in an ugly glitched world.
Which is it?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You have a hard time finding land or need to 'contest' an existing claim. Then you realize if you want to say, live in the cold areas which are more open (less population) or any other low pop island area, you now have to sail for 1-2 if not more hours on average to gather any missing resources.
Yeah, no thanks, this old man ain't got time for dat! Whom ever thinks with these survival games that doing anything that boring as sailing a ship on open water for hours on end in a video game is fun...nah not worth my time to explain either.
And another thing, why does MMORPG keep reporting on all of these 'survival' games, not one yet has been an MMORPG! WTF!
This is racism.
No that is not racism, that is genocide. Or I should say its a racial bias fueling genocide in a video game.

Now I'm willing to concede that Atlas having a war is reminiscent of Eves many wars throughout its lifetime but theyre hardly similar. I mean Atlas is having a (seemingly racist) war and all but Eve had Wars on scales unheard of in virtual media. I mean in just one battle in Eve players spent an estimated (theoretical, as in game currency was used) $300,000 in a singular 21 hour battle with over 7000 active particpants which permanantly altered the games economy. They hardly seem the same in scope or affect.
it become an active toxic racist place.
compare it to EVE ? no way, no close or far.
eve's corp have the country type, mostly for language and vocal but accept ppl from all others TZ too
i'm playing with australian, french, canadians, russian (etc) in a same alliance, and never encounter 10% of the violent racism of ATLAS.
add it cheaters, exploit etc, i wonder how they can keep this 20k players now,maybe cause it's pirat, maybe caus it's an open place to throw words and vomit on anothers ppl.. dunno
now it's just uninstalled and with no regrets
The only thing piratey about this game is some of the weapon and clothing skins (not the plate armor), ships and the its a pirate game thats why most everyone are thieves.
And that port town that was shown in the trailer thats supposed to be representative of what it will look like when players build it? Well it wont look like what is shown if going by what players currently build in game - GIANT stone gates side by side as wall surrounding their bases.
And all the stuff you build gets destroyed when you are offline if you play solo on pvp servers.
There is even a player on my lawless grid that was most likely offline sleeping as your char stays online when you log off who is now handcuffed in some chinese companys base. He was in chat looking for help, I felt bad for the guy.
But its still a game where to have 'content' you have to destroy things or lose things.
