…Yup. As quickly as it came, it also went.

It was fun, though! I was able to dedicate a bit more time with it this time around. Aeria Games is definitely on the right track. There are still things that need to be adjusted, though. When every loot item dropped by enemies sells for 1g apiece, you know you’re playing a game that still faces some balance issues.

Farming is another thing that needs balancing… like dropped loot, harvested crops sell for far too little. Growing stuff on your farm is actually a goldsink, since buying the seeds and fertilizer and water costs more than the amount you get back after selling the fully-grown crops. Srs price adjustment plz.

I DO really love the different farm styles available. The cuuuuutenessss…

I didn’t get far enough to try out the new and improved housing system!   I would have liked to see at least what adorable house styles were available. From the little I’ve seen in the closed beta forums, everything is appropriately cute!

So some changes still need to be made, but they SAY open beta is just around the corner, and I’m definitely not the only person pointing out the ridiculous sellback prices, so hopefully that is rather high on Aeria’s to-do list before Open beta comes around.

In the meanwhile, I’ll try to stick around!  Maybe I should go back to actually posting in the forums again.  See you guys!
