As most of you should know, players in the [Scientist] class have found out that the games server have been on for 13 BILLION years, but the first players only logged in 3 billion years ago, and they were playing in a beta [Microbe] race. And what were the devs working on during this 10 billion year long period? The most useless bullshit imaginable, like black holes, star life cycle mechanics, giant POIs like the Hand of God nebula. And guess what? Players have interacted with none of these mechanics, they’ve only been on 1 out of the 70 quintillion planets.

The devs could have easily made the game 10 times as better if they put development time into things that actually matter, like maybe the map we’re on right now? The only way this development makes sense is if the game was originally meant to be a sci-fi space exploration MMO (Which would have been better IMO), but was scrapped late into development. But even then 99% of [Space] would be unexploreable due to the light speed engine limitation.
