The name's right on the tin. It's fun in its own odd way, with its simple gameplay and living economy. It could use an overhaul for its text blurbs that pop up while traveling (one of the main points of the game), as some of them have glaring grammatical/spelling issues. Even then, the living, breathing economy driven by the players is a nice change of pace.

TL;DR Pretty good game, being potentially somewhat hard (but a very conquerable amount of difficulty/BS if you make use of what's available to you) on noobs is my primary criticism. Awesome game that's not something too complicated or requires a large time commitment. Was looking for something I could hop on for a few minutes without using my brain, and this filled the role. Despite my good experience with the game, I can't bring myself to rate it 5 stars. First of all, the game, while intuitive enough, doesn't have an in-game tutorial that explains what things do. When I first picked this game up 10 months ago, this wasn't that big of a deal. However, with many new features and changes since then, the game could certainly use a tutorial which quickly lays out what's what, rather than forcing new players go out of their way to find information. Moving on, there are many bugs which just shouldn't be in the game in the first place. For example, apostrophes are totally broken, and a part of many bugs, such as appearing as [[Google Automatically Converted it to an apostrophe]] in people's usernames for a while. Another aspect that isn't necessarily a bad thing about the game, but certainly important for people thinking about picking up this game is the PvP system. You can opt out of PvP, but that doesn't make this any less important. In the game's PvP system as of writing, once you hit a certain milestone (level 100) you become free game, and anyone can attack you. That's right, ANYONE, even if they're level 100,000. That means you're going to get killed A LOT by just about everyone for a while unless you opt out of PvP. Even at level 10,000, you're going to get murdered a lot. While this system is "fair," in that there are almost no restrictions, it is clearly unfair for the same reason. However, these flaws do not have a large impact on the game, so they're easy to let go. Now, for the things that I've got to praise about the game.... People are really nice. I don't think I've played a game other than this where it is so easy to communicate with people, 99% of which are super nice (I may be part of that other 1%). Another great aspect of the game which is unique to this is the fact that you can make suggestions for the game, which can actually get into the game, with you being credited for said idea(s). The fact that any and every player can make such a huge impact on this game, played by hundreds of thousands, is so indescribably awe-inspiring. The last thing noteworthy enough for me to praise is the generosity toward those F2P, such as myself. While this wasn't the case for a while, you've made it so people have an accessible way to getting the premium currency through the feature of being able to collect said premium currency for getting achievements. This totally changed the growth curve, making it start increasing much faster. Makes me envious of these new kids who only had to work for a few days for their first EP, whereas I had to spend over a month grinding collections and task chests. [[EDIT]] I see some reviews by people who believe they've been unfairly or unjustly punished, so I'll explain, as they don't provide full context. These players broke rules they were ignorant of, and believed that their ignorance would save them from the ban hammer. This was both reckless and foolish, and they've now decided to make a bad review of the game for their own lack of awareness. As for moderation's inconsistency, there is some truth, but it isn't nearly as bad as people complain. There are multiple people moderating, so there will be a margin of error. If there is precedent for something, it becomes the standard. Furthermore, many new players who break the rule for some reason expect moderation to respect them as much as old players, when they don't have any reputation or history with the game. These rule-breakers also often disrespect moderation, which doesn't help their case and only makes the complaints appear misleading. Read the rules, even if you think you can guess what they are, as there are some specifics

It's called 'simpleMMO' but when you get into it, you see how complex it really is. I'd give a higher rating if simple UI and QOL improvements were made. Like when I try to change to a different tab, the current tab refreshes instead. Or when I send multiple things to storage, and i'm done with multi-select. I have to leave the page because it doesn't recognise i'm done with multi-select. Small things that just get annoying over time. Also more events to make the game more exciting I guess.

If you have adhd don't waste your time. This game is so slow paced its ridiculous. You literally: hit 1 button. Wait 10 seconds. Hit it again. 10 seconds Hit it again 10 seconds. After a week of playing I'm level 25. Side note: All values have to be imput manually... lol? Like Stat points you have to type in each number to distribute per stat. Dropping items - you only have 1, but you have to type in 1 and click the button. For a game called simpleMMO, there is a stupid amount needed.

This is an amazing game sure it can be buggy sometimes, sure maybe my inventory doesnt currently work. But I think that might have something to do with the 11,000 cheese I am currently in posession of. Regardless this game would be and amazing choice to pick up on a rainy day when you have nothing better to do, a day when you're just in search of some quick entertainment. You play for a while and then you try to do anything else and realize you're hopelessly addicted. Jokes aside good game.

This game is brimming with content and fun ways to pass the time during breaks. Additionally, the lack of intrusive ads, paired with incentives to choose to watch them for rewards is very refreshing. I really enjoy this game and highly recommend it if you're into pixels and text-based adventures
