Oooooooooooh!

Trove came out today apparently. It's a free-to-play Cube World/Minecraft looking MMO thingie:

Still no Cube World development, of course.

EDIT: Haha, this thread updates so slowly that I forgot people had mentioned this game a few times in the past. Well, it came out of beta, so I guess that's new information.

And so the cycle begins anew.

Foolish were they to think it may yet fade into the vast oblivion for good, the monster has risen once more.

Saw this thread and thought to myself "didn't I buy this game back in 2012 and never heard anything about it since?", and sure enough the OP is from 2012.

I'm going to ask this tangentially related question while the thread's up near the surface, because discussing Cube World development is like talking about the Rapture. Everybody wants it, has an opinion, and has no idea when or if it will happen.

Anyway, why is there no Trove thread? The game is bad rear end, I've been playing it for a while now, and I'm somewhat surprised that a game so awesome, that is in the top played lists on Steam, has no thread here.

I don't really have the time to set up and maintain one at the moment.

The brilliance of my posting illuminates the forums like a jar of shining gold when all around is dark
I don't know jack poo poo about Trove but I will say that dumbfuck rednecks always saw, "oh Gawd, dem gays is getting married, we're in the End Times" but really in the Bible it says you know not the hour nor the day which seems to me to be saying that the End Times won't happen as long as some dumbfuck redneck is saying that it's about to. So if we want Cube World to come out, literally every gamer has to forget about it first. The topic has to go to the Gas Chamber and we all have to stop wondering when it will come out and when the last diehard hopeful finally deletes the Cube World icon off his desktop, Wollay will release a video of the new Cube World featuring procedurally generated NPCs and quests. It says so in the Bible.

There was one for Trove but it was used even less than this thread. And also there's that SkySaga game coming up that I stupidly bumped the thread to ask about. Honestly if we combined all three plus whatever is coming into a "not-minecraft with more combat" circlejerk thread or something I still don't know if it would gain enough interest to keep the thread above water. And if we posted in the Minecraft thread it would probably just piss them off and nobody would be able to find the posts anyway.

That was when it was a gleam in Kickstarter's eye, back in alpha when nobody knew if it would survive until release, thanks to the precedent set by similar games. (Trust me, I was in the skeptical boat.) Now it has released, from what I can tell it's got a lot more stuff in it than it did in alpha, and it's topping Steam charts.

SA threads don't grow themselves, someone has to be passionate enough about the game to start one up and burn out two weeks later, never to update the OP again.

Cube World had/has so much potential to be a really good game, its sad that its unlikely it will ever happen and even if it does, it will have been like half a decade to get there and too much bad will to overcome.

I couldn't care less about dweebs who won't play a good game just because they're salty over how long it took to come out. The real issue is that at this pace, it's a tossup as to whether Cube World will see any progress before someone else has the time to make a whole other game from the ground up that scratches the Cube World itch, and does it better. Hell, Trove already almost hit the mark.

Yeah, it's extraordinary. I kind of admire the guy's dedication to doing things his own way and sticking with it, but drat, he's so completely clueless as to how everybody else sees it. :lol:
