Other suggestions regarding player killing:

Fresh graves could be recognizable by name (not that important now that there's death-staggering). It'd be akin of recognizing a cadaver. Could help when the killer tries to BS their way out of it.

Murdering kills you inside. Murderers' faces turn expressionless with subsequent killings.

The more a player murders, the lower their slowdown time lasts (the slowdown being interpreted as the shock of killing another person). Only murdered people that are able to grab weapons count towards reducing the slowdown time. Maybe increase the initial slowdown time a bit.

I just wanted what was promised but is no longer so.

A persistent world environment, the apocalypse wipe was pure childish temper tantrum.

I like the eves spawning far away now, that is what I though was supposed to happen originally.

I think he fixed murder just fine, the problem is no one arms themselves to protect versus murder, because they have a mistaken view that having a knife is for one reason, to murder, but it also gives you the ability to stop the murderer. Stay unarmed, die to someone who is armed and cry some more. After you kill you are slowed, cannot eat or put down the weapon and are easy prey for anyone who is armed.

The big problem was how easy it was to destroy berry bushes, I heard that a solution has been implemented this patch.

The apocalypse wipes out every trace and vestige of everything that has been done, it eradicates the notion of persistent. This game is no longer a persistent one. You have one hour to live, and everything you do is to learn skills (the only thing that will survive the wipes). What is the point of monuments like bell tower? It willjust be wiped next apocalypse. If this were so in real life, Pyramids? What pyramids?

He made it take 3 people to take down one wall segment, but one jag-off can wipe all the servers in one life. This smacks of confusion and over compensation, an act of irrationality or sheer petulance. Why was it not the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse at the very least? Still not to my liking but at least follows a literal interpretation of a mistaken translation.

For me this game has no purpose beyond family roleplay. It is still fine for that, except it is not "family" since the definition of a nuclear family is:

nuclear family
noun
Definition of nuclear family for English Language Learners

    : the part of a family that includes only the father, mother, and children

But there is NO FATHER in Jason's game. Only OHOL's male hating and unrealistic asexual reproduction. I do not want a "refund" to those who will try and use that argument. I enjoyed the game for an entire week straight, up until the word apocalypse was added, and the word persistent was removed.

It is Jason's game and if he want's to change it from what he originally promised that is his prerogative. He can't listen to everyone's suggestions, so let us hope he can find a balance that will make the most of his community enjoy the direction he takes it in.

I can only wait and see what will happen, I am still hopeful that what was outlined in the video on his website is still the vision he intends to pursue. I was happy to be part of this game when it was at least possible to log in and change the world "server" and see the changes others made to mine dozens of generations later. I would look around and say "oh yeah, I have been here before, oh how things have changed ..."

He could make civ's die out without wiping everything like a mistake written on a blackboard. The jungles of Cambodia have swallowed ancient civilizations, the sands of the desert have covered long forgotten cites. Volcanoes have covered thriving metropolises in a moment of eruption. Part of the mystery of our world, is archeology, and what we did as a people long ago, this mystery has been "wiped" by the act of a few. The reason for my playing was making changes to what I had started before, maybe building on what someone else added to my changes. I also had a lot of fun role-playing family interactions. I tried not to get revenge for past lives, and live the new life. Although I would sometimes return to building what I had started many lives ago.

From Jason's notes:

"Long term food sustainability has been made much harder.  Getting up to 30+ generations in one spot should be a pretty substantial challenge, and you won't be able to do it on carrots alone.  The top has been hardened."

Does anyone know yet what exactly this change is?

You realize that the restart happened and it took weeks to build it the first time- it will take weeks to build it the second time..  The game will come back if you know how to basics-- and actually it's really quite fun impressing people.

The weekend did good things for the first server.

One thing I want to convey to the OP--- Jason gets that there is no end game necessary. The realities of what made him make this bad decision is because we want to consume more than he can produce. So of course it gets boring! By supporting Jason's game your supporting that this idea of a new kind of flavor of game play can be fun. But imagine having 30k people who are demanding you work *really* hard for $20 once Have a little patience! (mind you, programmers can be $$$ and that's a salary)

Another thing I want to add- is I don't know if you played before the whole restart--- but it was *bad*. Like it was borderline hitting un-playable as an eve just due to the sheer mass of ruins, the local re-spawning of eves- and imagine being invaded every 3 minutes by an eve+baby just cause you are occupying a ruin near this mega spawn spot. The problems mentioned by Jason were *very* real in my experiences near the end- and it sucks he had to be bad guy but it was the sanest choice.
