    I’ve always thought this game looked like shit.

    Doesn’t it only go up to 4 players or something? What a weird limit for such a large game. I guess the devs just weren’t skilled enough to raise it any higher.

      “Doesn’t it only go up to 4 players or something?”

      That was the max number of players who could play together for something like 3 update cycles, and that was years ago. Everyone was still technically in the same shared universe, you just couldn’t actually co-op with more than that… but, again, that’s outdated. Not sure what the limit is now, if there even is one - it’s a more seamless and behind-the-scenes load-balancing deal now.

        So, it only goes up to 4 players because the devs aren’t competent enough to support more.

        Thanks for proving my point.

      The gameplay loop is tremendously boring, too. I have no idea how they did that, since it’s basically the same as Minecraft.
