I started playing this recently and I am having a blast. I think when you posted this in 2011 they didn't have PvP but now they have PvP and it is like 3 realms vs each other with your own custom kingdoms thrown in.
You build everything from scratch. I have been working for days and I am finally starting to be decent at some things. It is also very survival in that you have to eat and drink regularly, if you don't get quality meals your nutrition drops and its harder to satisfy your hunger. One can live off foraged food for a while but long term it gets rough.
I built a smithy and wanted to share my images, everything here is hand made, every nail and plank and barrel and forge.
and the outside
This is a big community game, increasing skills and making quality items takes a long time so specializing is good. I would love to see COTP grow around me, there is everything in this game from animal breeding, farming, smithing, carpentry, thieving, and the major crafts you have to skill up independant crafts like carpentry has fine carpentry and shipbuilding, smithing has locksmithing, blade smithing, armor smithing.
There is also a religious system where you can follow a certain dieity and gain special powers like making all fields instantly harvestable that you are standing around, or a group spell that creates a horde of zombies to attack your enemies.
Good fun , im addicted.
