This is probably the most fun sandbox game I've played, ever. I initially opted to start solo on my own locked instance; just to learn the ropes, learn the UI and the crafting. I figured that would allow me to survive more easily when I moved to a PVP server. I expected it to be a learning experience, not a fun one. Actually it turned out to be so much fun that I got all carried away in the crafting and forgot to check out the multiplayer experience.

I've now restarted anew 3 times, as the server I settled on recently migrated. And one of my favorite things about this game is the leveling system. For one thing it makes it easy to start anew; no more spending an entire month of long grinding hours just to get back to level x at which you can finally do fun stuff. Nope, in this game you can train the basic combat skills in minutes and start to have fun. You can train your crafting skills in a couple days and hit the ground running on building. That is just great.

The game is barely half way done and already it offers and amazingly rich, deep and compelling experience. It sucks you in, but in the same time it allows short gaming sessions (which few MMOs do). So even if you only have 30 minutes to play you always have something you can do.

The Devs are very passionate about the game and are very active; they offer regular updates and even provide a public roadmap showing their progress on upcoming features.

I've fallen head over heels for this game, it has destroyed my Battlefield 4 career. :D
