But it's still recognizable, meaning the past will always be a part of you, yet change is ongoing, so things won't grow stale. You'll go back to a place a year later and many of the buildings are gone, and there're ditches and hills where there weren't before. And thing change mildly, they don't just decay. You'll spend years growing in it if you're serious. One of the best things it does right is its rich sandbox. But of the many things it does wrong, it does some things right too. There're so many other things I could bring up, from the way mobs are distributed on the map being a hinderance to poor combat players, to the lack of PvE variety, to the lack of actual survival challenges for established players (especially ones in a village) and more. It's the difference between feeling like a slave and feeling like a brother or sister. It's the difference between training a skill and using a skill to actually make something you need. These two factors ALONE increase the sense of grind. And secondly, how skills interact, as well across level ranges, influences everything from a skill being rewarding to use, to whether you feel like a needed member of your village or cohort. Bottom line, there's no depth in the skill gameplay, resulting in something that'll ALWAYS be grindy no matter how fast the skill gain is. In fact, playing Tetris to increase yields would be better than what it's now-and that should be easy to reproduce. It could operate somewhat more like Everquest 2, where you have to use different methods to produe a superior result-not just the same method every time. Where you mine on a tile could influence yields. For example, mining needs more dimension. You can also butcher with other sharp-edged tools like carving knife, hatchet, pickaxe, shovel, sickle, stone chisel or sword, but using a butchering knife gives more items. If you bury the butchered corpse, the items will stay on ground. I think the two biggest problems are one dimensional skills and how skills interact with each other, especially across skill levels. Open the corpse and drag the desired butchering products to your inventory. I've written some posts in the Wurm Online forums.
