I would disagree with the terraforming issues. Games such as 7 days to die and the new no mans sky, both use have randomly generated environments/worlds. Now there is issues that each game has faced and either is or has worked on it to smoothen it out. Besides, I dont see how that would do anything but improve a game. The future is forward in technology which includes games. Now the race between game devs has cost us some of the older gameplay that we love but it dont have to. Look at all the games creeping into the VR world, how great would EQ, WoW, Conan, fishing planet etc. be with full VR support?
My outside view is still the same, I do not see 29.99 here. Maybe if I made more money then the VA pays, I would be more loose with my funds and willing to gamble on $30. One of the things to consider is the fact I am just one person that is willing to chat and give his time to talk about it, how many people have thought they would play it or want it but like me, dont see it. Lack of activity or appearance of activity on a MMO is the silver bullet. We have seen that in past games.
