Longvinter

I am a community helper in the game's official Discord and my name is on the game's credits from all the contributions I have put forth in making the game better. In my two years of playing this game, it is one of the WORST games I have ever played due to the never-ending server issues, toxic player base and developers making it clear they do not care. Long-time players from 2022 are on a first name basis with the developers and are allowed to be openly homophobic, racist, and sexist in game and in their Discord in front of all 13,000+ members with no repercussions. Players use the locally stored game files (developer's fault) to stalk your Steam profile and get any data that has been used on your profile in the last few years even if your account is private. Players can also modify cosmetic items using game files so they do not have to purchase them in the Steam marketplace. There are PVP and PVE servers but toxic players (who have been reported in the past and even banned) create new accounts and grief PVE players one way or another. PVP servers in US and EU are filled with cringe trash-talk and minimal sightings of actual PVPing. - The US servers are extremely dead due to poor server issues (lag and long loading times) and because the same long-term players creating false narratives, exploiting, abusing bugs, and leaving unwanted signs of harassment around the map. These long-term players (grown adults in their 40's btw) have nothing better to do but break the game rules and then harass people in Discord but the community manager and the developers do not care no matter how much evidence, reporting, and concerns are brought to their attention by multiple players. I have seen many players quit the game for good due to their toxicity but since they are friends with the developers, they are excused... what a horrible way to run a game. - The EU servers are filled with racist players who openly throw slurs around in game and in Discord and leave targeting signs at their house towards different minority groups but I guess it's normal since, again, there are no repercussions. Players can openly type into game that they will rape women if they saw them in real life with no consequences. Players can bash on your religion and ethnicity and then laugh about it because they know they will not get in trouble. - The KR servers are the only populated servers but you have a 50% chance of meeting someone who is using cheats they bought to unfairly play the game. There is always a risk of picking up a cheated item which results in YOUR account being banned even if you did not know the item was cheated in. Players on these servers get IP banned but find a way to come back. The KR servers are the only servers that have some sort of moderation but it's still only like 5% still because the developers do not care because it still means they are selling copies for money to the cheaters. It takes years for the developers to fix major lag issues and exploits as they focus their time on other games that do not have as much potential as this one. No moderation or community engagement on US, EU, AUS, and SA servers. Months and sometimes even years for server issues to be fixed including hosting personal and modded servers. People from some countries cannot access certain servers due to server attacks and are told to purchase a VPN (which still doesn't fix the issue btw). I would NOT recommend this game until the developers decide to actually do their job in fixing the game in timely manners and moderating the in game toxicity.
