Yeah, There are issues. Yeah, there are a lot of unhappy people. Yeah, we are plagued by min/maxers who are intent on exploiting every loophole. Problems with the real estate, gem wall and a lack of a smooth progression are real and are going to be real hard to fix.
But every day since the PS4 early launch, every minute is a count down to when I can get back on, to get back into that living world.
Because that’s what it is. Unlike any other game I’ve played, be it an MMO, offline, single or multiple player…this game reflects the soul of it’s players. This is lived in, manipulated by it’s residents. The personality isn’t programmed, it’s crafted, sculpted, created with love by hundreds of different viewpoints.
No two cities have the same feel, the same art style, the same sense of place. When you step into The Shire or The City of Awesomeness you know exactly where you are without looking at a map. You’ve walked down the streets, sometimes before there was anything there. You know some of the people there and can stop to visit. You see the changes since the last time you were there.
When you go shopping, you are really shopping. It’s not some kind of cold auction or a blanket cost. Every shop is different, everyone’s stock is different and you can shop around for the best prices.
You can get lost in this world because it’s a real world filled with, and shaped by, real people…and when I think of the future, and of all the great things that can be added, my biggest complaint is that I can’t fast forward time and see what this will become.
I love you, Boundless. Don’t ever go away.
