I am desperately trying to play this game. It has not been easy. The first four hours after logging in and creating a character were spent trying to figure out if I was doing something wrong or if the game was just too laggy to play. There are no sounds or graphics to let you know that a keypress has been accepted, so there is a lot of clicking on resources over and over without even knowing if you have selected the right pixel to harvest from. The lag is truly fantastic and sporadic, so even when it seems you are going to be ok, your character might suddenly stop moving or worse still teleport into limbo. I finally gave up, only to read the wiki and be inspired to try again. This morning saw my efforts rewarded! In 3 hours, I had a functional character who was able to make a flag and a road before getting stuck partway through the shoreline of his island, causing him to stick on every elevation change and making further resource collecting impossible. Trying to recall caused another stint in the limbo screen again, after which 3 reloads finally found my character in a stable enough environment to stare bleakly at a pitch black screen, as night had fallen on his world in the meantime. When day finally broke, it was just in time for some more lag. I gave up and tried to join an already existing empire, but the character screen just freezes indefinitely each time I have tried. The concept of the game looks incredible and I have not entirely given up, but this has been a very frustrating experience. If I had not noticed a user named AlladinSane in the rosters I might have stopped trying long ago... have any other Cantr2 players had any success whatsoever with playing this? How did your efforts turn out, Armulus?
"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."
