The difficult thing about recommending this game is that the experience is different for everyone. Did you start on a good island? Were the players around that island fun and helpful, or mean jerks? Will you glitch into a mountain face and die with no warning?

As a game it shows a LOT of promise. The exploration is fun and immersive. Bumping into players you met a few islands back is great; the world is so huge and yet the zone system gives you an "it's a small world after all" vibe. The crafting and building systems have a HUGE learning curve but once you conquer it, it's easy enough while still being complex and intuitive.

But at the moment, promise is all this game has. You will suffer a lot of frustration in this game. You'll die to rogue players. You'll die to glitching into and off of things. You'll die when you log back in because pirates came and salvaged your ship while you weren't there. And you'll have to start over.

But for what it is right now, and what it COULD be, I'd buy it again. And I'd recommend anyone that wouldn't miss the money to buy it, too.
