only one life, no respawn and most players spawn ingame with no resources or bonuses or even in good environments that will allow them to become geologists

And i would guess that most geologists wind up having to do nothing but very boring repetitive side quests just to gather enough resources to keep their character alive

For some reason all of the quests with decent rewards are for the evil faction? The developers don’t seem to have considered that many players want to create a character with a heroic arc.

Tried it, but the gameplay is painfully slow.

I found it quite hard as well

Educate the laymen, what's the bottom right image?

The tutorial is very poor regarding geology. Most people don't even get in touch with this science.

I don't know, the plotline isn't very good or believable. You have the Jesus cliffhanger, no Max Cap on money hording, and the pvp isn't balanced. And there is the anomaly zone called Australia where the devs seem to be showing their disdain for the players.
