Ok, thanks for the answer!
Here is a sampling of other negative reviews posted yesterday:
3. The build upon the previous generations progress concept is a bit misleading. Apparently, it once was like that? Before I got the game, I guess. But now, apparently, the server gets reset or something every now and then which leads to towns and families being wiped away, so everybody has to start over again. I thought the aim of the game was to build up civilization?4. If you're looking to build something for the "future generations" to enjoy, don't bother. Due to the wipe away thing, griefers, and very limited resources, most towns get stuck at a certain stage, and nothing new or interesting gets built."
That was the opposite of a complain we had with my friend: we jumped in an empty server and the world was emptied of its ressources only to find them in different cities. The most recent corpse we've found was ~772 years ago, which I suppose is 12hours or so?
But we had to go very far to find full clay deposits or bushes (the ones that allow you to make threads and ropes).
It was nice to see developped cities but it's not really fun to find a city with a ton of everything and nothing in the wilderness. We could have lived in the city without doing anything and not lacking of food/tools/ressources.
I don't know if food rot or if clay deposit and others respawn after a certain time but it was kind of annoying.
Maybe I misspoke, I guess now Eves means adult woman? I just meant "not as a girl" so you don't have to manage a child while you don't even know what you are doing.
Well, I think I've read that babies spawns on women only, never on males?
The main point is that currently, for new players, you don't have time to learn anything as babies appears every minutes and everyone is kind of busy.
I registered here just to say that (not that the review is mine):
I bought the game yesterday but coulnd't play (problem with the servers?) and because of that I browsed this forum and the steam one.
And god, yeah, it's overwhelming for new players like me.
I was playing as twins with a friend, and after two lifes (first: dead of hunger at 4, second: everyone in the village was too busy to explain to us stuff and we were expected to do things) we nearly gave up.
But, because I browsed the forums, I knew we could change servers and jumped into an empty one to test and learn different things.
The game lacks singleplayer (well, I understand it's not easily possible) or server browser included.
If I didn't knew we could go to empty servers I don't think I would have played this game much more.
New players shouldn't spawn as Eves (edit: I meant as girl) or not at places that are overcrowded with newborns (I had 2babies and my friend 3or4 in our second life).
Anyway, my friend and I will surely go back to an empty or lowpop server to learn differents things before joining other players.
The learning curve steep, certain things are not logical for new players (e.g.: why can't I have rabbit bones aside by cooking it right? Can't I let it rot? No? Can I eat burnt rabbit even for a lower hunger fill? No. WHY???), but it's kind of fun. Sadly the game wasn't prepared for the discount and the arrival of new players.
